Unless they're made with potatoes...

Unintentional demi-rhyme?

We make them thus...
Mash up some boiled potatoes, and add some chicken bullian to it, grated cotija cheese, fresh cilantro and epazote. No salt because the chicken bullian and cotija cheese are salty enough.

fill up some tortillas, and then pan fry them in a little oil.

"If it´s fried, it´s good."

We usually make them one the Good Fridays, including bread pudding.

Sounds tantalizing :D

Tacos aren't meant to be eaten as a meal.... it's supposed to be a small appetizer. Tacos are extremly fattening...

Ooooh, that would explain quite a lot about my current condition!

I´m not FAT, I´m just... a bit rounded. Which is incredibly unmanly, I think. If I lean to either side, a kind of emergency handle pops out. I can´t say I´m worried about the way I look, it´s not like I´m actively searching a partner or anything, but it DOES feel kinda strange...

Anyohwoe. I honestly can´t say much about Heroes, the first season was nice to watch, and I was sorta pleased with the second season, but... after that, things just turned all Lost...

Also, looking for a job is a major pain in the buttocks. I only just realised that there´s like, three to four months left until I have to do my civilian service. Before then, I need to find a place where aforementioned service can be conducted. Everybody I´ve talked to up until now has either turned me down, not answered, or asked me to call them back later. Åbo Academy´s department in Vasa told me to call them in september, coincidentally the month where my searching time runs out. Sometimes, stuff like this can be pretty darn frustrating :P

I think I begin to understand Malachy´s situation on a deeper level now.

Yesh, penishes...

I think manly men usually have something are slightly chunky... ever seen Strong Men on Discovery? Although-- I don't like it on me. I'm taking medicine that makes gaining weight especially easy and it was horrible. I felt soooo gross because it made me fat... and my legs skinny. (There's a scientific name for it, but I call it the 'Ice Cream Look.' The meds have equalized and I feel better and I'm losing the weight... I've been running two times a day for the past 2 weeks, and yesterday I added the dumb bells...

Not holding myself out as the manliest of men but yeah, I have that problem. I love to eat and what I love isn't nessesarily the healthiest stuff around. Fortunatly all the work I do gives me some allowance on calories but yeah, it's never a perfect balance
On the topic of muscle dudes on discovery, what ever happened to that litle Hercules kid? It must suck for him now to just be another muscular dude.

. I've been running two times a day for the past 2 weeks, and yesterday I added the dumb bells...

If I have one piece of advise here it's to listen to your limits. When you're starting new stuff you're not going to know how it hits you for a while. You're a smart guy so I'm sure you'll do fine.

I buy them pre-sliced, or I'd be in the same boat. I could eat canned black olives all day. Never cared much for the green ones in the jar, but kalamata or other oil-cured ones are good.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm one HELL of a cook when I put my mind to it. But when I come home at the end of the day, the last thing I want to do is cook. Just give me something I can zap in the microwave and be done with.

Well, I'm glad you give me enough credit to think of me that way. When this was on the news a while back, a few co-workers thought it was something I had done.

Not that I would ever do such a thing, as waterproofing the inside of the skull would involve the use of bondo and plastic resins... and I hate working with that stuff.

Well, who doesn't like nerd girls? Nerdy chicks need lovin' too.

But survivalist I am not. I need to break out the military manuals I've got on the subject and start reading up, that way if something bad does happen, I'll be prepared.

But for those of you who DO enjoy camping and the like, I've got a product for you to keep your eyes out for; "Gordon" brand Hunting Knife. I picked up one of these at a Harbor Freight Store yesterday for about $8. I haven't sharpened on it yet, still not sure WHAT kind of steel it's made out of, but I like it pretty well.

No more tornadoes, but after the tornado yesterday evening, some storms did produce golf-ball sized hail. I'm REAL glad me and my car weren't there. Everyone seems to have power though, which is surprising. I looked at storm photos and it was surprising to see an RV in a tree.

Got my new driver's license and insurance today. Tomorrow I'm gonna see about plates, registration, and an inspection. Haven't played with my online account yet, but I'll get to it.

Tired and cranky. Then again, a 4 1/2 hour drive yesterday and 2 hours at the DMV does that.

4 + hour drives We do around here to go to parties.... Its Canada, everything is far away.

But only 2 hours in the DMV ! ! ! You must have inside connections !
I've seen, on more than 1 occassion, going in around 9 & being an hour & half late for a lunch meeting.
They (DMV workers) almost seem to be working in a stasis that is out side of time itself & every minute we're in there an 10 or 15 minutes passes in the rest of the world.

The news that has peeked my interest so far is that we will have two new MGS games (so glad I bought a PSP) and a new Kojima done Castlevania (though I'm upset the one featuring Alucard may have been scrapped in favor of this or what not.

Went to see about registration and whatnot. Technically, I will not be a Pennsylvania resident again until the 15th. So, the current plan is to let my Ohio registration lapse (it expires that day) and the next day get everything transferred over, then go get my car inspected. Besides, even with registration, I may not be able to get an inspection since the Pennsylvania insurance does not start until the 18th, and you need that for an inspection. Add to that that once you get registered, you have 10 days to get an inspection...so yeah, you see why I'm waiting.

In the meantime, I'm carrying both licenses and insurance cards from both states in case of a problem.

I will be headed back to Ohio tomorrow. Here's hoping my apartment isn't flooded or whatever.

Guitar strings are cheaper for that purpose. Same material, but easier to get a hold of. I'd recommend either a .009 or a .008 for a garrote (or a .007 if you can your hands on it) , the only thing the .022 and .024 are good for are doing home-made tattoo guns... they sound twangy and metallic as all HELL when you put them on a guitar.

creepy girls in yellow plastic macs,

huh?

and blind samurai.

I'd love to meet a blind samurai, personally.

Oh, and Big Fucking Lizards.

Okay, this is weird...

The doctor reccomended I do alternating hot and cold packs on my jaw for an hour every night in order to help heal the inflamed joint tissue. My mother lent me her TENS Unit to use instead of the hot and cold packs (one of my sisters uses one for this purpose because of her TMJ)....

I've got this thing on my face right now, and the left side of my jaw feels really good (like a mini-massage), the right side isn't positioned right... and my eyelid is twitching. It's like I have that "about to snap" involuntary eye twitch thing going on.

Turns out I grind my teeth, but I have never been diagnosed with TMJ or anything like it. However, I do need to wear my retainer at night. On some days, my jaw muscles hurt if I grind a lot. This can happen with nightmares.

That must be painful...
the guy who I'm seeing teels me is a teeth grinder and a fist clencher...

He's worn down a lot of his teeth and so he has lot of dental work. And his hands are sort of gnarled...

I have the opposite problem.
You see, I have an overbite and because of that-- I stick out my lower jaw ever so slightly. It's unconcious for me now-- been doing it since I was very young when people made fun of my overbite. Years of doing this has made my teeth sort of loose-- not in the sense that they're going to fall off... but that I can feel them push into my gums now that I eat. My dentist tells me keep my jaw in a resting position, but it's totally unconcious.

It doesn't help that I have root canals and crowns galore...
although-- I have a very nice smile.

Just bad teeth!
