LOL's

norwegian black metal bunneh

for the nerds:

I have 4 invites to canv.as I would love to share with whoever wants em cause the site is awesome, just plain freakin awesome, especially, if like myself you enjoy certain imageboards. Even more so if you enjoy(ed) THAT particular imageboard.

What is canv.as you ask? why its a site to "share and play with images". The site has its own photoshop-like tool built in so you can "remix" any picture you upload or see on the site.

So how do you get that invite working? Well, its a little bit of a hassle atm but eh, IMO its worth it.

1- go to canv.as
2- request invite
3- email marushishi@gmail.com (me) your facebook info so I can friend you.

Once I have friended you, I am able to use an invite on you. Sadly there is not an easier way to do this at the moment, but eh! juss doo eet~! >:3

I'm gonna take you for a ride!

...

You get the idea.... bought MvC3 over the weekend, tons of fun. Do you own this game? maybe a PS3 as well? post your PSNid so that I may challenge you and take you for a ride (read: mop the floor with your ass~! haha!!).

Anyway... there's not much going on here that's good or newsworthy... The store I work at closes on the 28th and I will be having to work at our south-side location which totally blows as I will no longer be able to browse the interwebs freely and stuff.. but oh well.. most good things come to an end if not all of them huh?

Here's hoping I can find a better job somewhere else cause fuck 40mi commute every single day.

That and then a bunch of family related bullcrap that I may or may not talk about in detail next post. Either way, everything has me feeling like this:

But at least soon it will be 6 so that I can feel like this:

(a little something I shooped up on canv.as)

What I did at work today... and yesterday...

Have you people heard of canv.as ? Well, its um.. it is. I got my invite for the beta in my email yesterday and all I can say is its so freaking amazing and fun~! And it looks like it'll only get better~!

What it is is an imageboard of sorts. When you post an image, people have the option of "remixing" it using either their own software or the painter app that is on the site. The app itself is very easy to use, and tho it is lacking some functions that I consider important such as zoom, it is a work in progress and new stuff is being added every day.

So...... This is what I have been doing at work over the last couple of days hehehe... :

"cats"

"zubat country"

"bunnylink"

"the internets"

"It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again"

"Nobody expects the paranormal spanish inquisition"

"self explanatory"

"all these limes, why can't I carry them?"

"We need to go derper"

Well? are you?

Sheep in the Big City

The Secret Military Organization under the command of General Specific has built a sheep powered ray gun. The sheep escapes. Hilarity ensues. Sheep in the Big City is a Cartoon Network cartoon by Mo Willems from back in 2000. I personally loved this show. While the humor may be somewhat.. well.. stupid, I really enjoy the whole play on words thing. Plus overall I just think its one of the funniest cartoons ever... shame it never got released on dvd or anything else for that matter!

The show follows sheep's daily life in the big city while dodging General Specific and Private Public among others. Fake commercials, ranting Swede, randomness. But so... baaaaaah. I dunno. The show is hilarious in a way that it is so bad its good. Here's a few examples:

Disco Sheep - (This is one of my favorite parts of the series)

Shrimpola Cola - (this happens about 3 times in the series, shrimpola cola man... yeah...)

Commercials?

STUFF!~

Hope you guys watched these and enjoyed. My most favorite part of the show, however, is the end.. but that is for next post. >:3

Delicious Murder~♪

Happy V-day peoples~! Had a super busy weekend so y'all will have to excuse me for not postan here or on y'all's blogs but I shall make up for that today.

What is everyone doin for V-day? ... or is it forever-alone day? (not for me~! bwahaha)

Actually, not doing much of anything today, as I celebrated Valentine's with my girl yesterday. I love cooking, so I made her a rather special dinner-- Grilled Live Maine Lobster with Tarragon Beurre Blanc served with baked potato and roasted asparagus:

Also, bought some new wine glasses and some wine, of course. Overall had a very good time heheheh... >:3

For anyone curious, lobster at home is muchmuchmuch more affordable than at a restaurant and it is so easy to prepare, to me its a crime to do anything but. Sooo... here's how to do what I did:

For Tarragon Beurre Blanc:

In sauce pan, reduce a cup of white wine, 1/4 cup (or less) lemon juice, and 2 finely chopped shallots till it becomes about 2 Tblspn of liquid. At this point, add 1Tblspn heavy cream and whisk. Reduce heat to low and add 1.5 sticks of butter. Butter is to be cubed and whisked in one cube at a time, whisking constantly to reach an emulsion. Once butter has been fully integrated, take it off the stove and set aside for later.

For Baked Potato:

Take large potatoes and wash thoroughly. Poke a few times all over with fork, then rub with vegetable oil and coat potatoes in salt. Bake in oven for about 1.5 - 2 hours, depending on how big the potatoes are.

For Roasted Asparagus:

Take asparagus (1/2 lb to a lb) and cut off bottom if woody. Put on baking sheet and rub with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper (lightly!). Broil in oven on high for approximately 12 minutes. The GF likes thin asparagus but any kind will do, thicker ones might require a longer cook time, but not by much.

For Lobster:

Place lobster on cutting board, preferable in or around the sink because you are about to make one hell of a mess. Seriously, lobster crab will be everywhere. Also, this is not for the squeamish. Natalie, if you are in fact reading my blog please stop here. <3

Place lobster on cutting board facing you. With a VERY sharp knife, make a cut into the lobster starting at the head area, to kill it fast, then move on throught the rest of its body. After cutting, you might need to use your hands to snap the shell, freeing the two halves from each other. Once split, you want to remove the greenish and yellowish guts inside the head area. If you got lucky and your lobster has any pinkish or redish innards you can leave those in as they are tasty, especially the redish one, as that would be the roe (it also means the lobster is a girl~! how 'bout that!?). Once that's done, remove the claw from each half and use the back of a knife to make cracks in the claw to make it easier to eat later on. You might want to put the claw in a bag before you smack it to keep lobster parts from flying everywhere... in fact you straight up should not do this without a bag... and do it in the sink.

Lobster on grill at night.

Once split and cleaned, place lobster on plate, shell side down. Season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil. Heat up grill. Once hot, place place lobster meat side down on grill for 3-4 minutes, you can also just keep checking it till it has some nice grill marks on it. After this, flip lobster shell side down and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the meat is clearly done (you can tell, it looks white when cooked and it isnt like... transparenty lookin anymore). For the claws, place them on the hottest side of the grill and let them bake the whole time the lobster bodies cook (8ish min total).While lobster is shell-side down, baste meat with Tarragon Beurre Blanc if desired (When you serve, you can put some of the sauce on the lobster meat or just put it in a bowl to be used as a dipping sauce (which is what I did (parenthesis))).

BAM ~ !

Well, there it is. Y'all have a happy Vday, good luck and what not~!
