"Import, Export" -- really good. kind of a bummer, but really well done.
"Big River Man" -- reminded me of apocalypse now. absolutely epic. i thought it was a mockumentary at first. absolute madness. superb editing.
"Bald" -- ridiculous. somehow entertaining. i'm glad i'm blessed with a full head of hair.
i've taken it easy big time this weekend. i needed it. sleeping 8 hours! woooooo. it feels good. tomorrow hopefully i can be relatively productive. happy president's day! yeeeehaw!
i watched most of nba all star weekend. WEAK SAUCE. DUNK CONTEST WAS WEAK SAUCE. WHAT THE HELL. COME ON. i get amped for this weekend but dunk contest was turrrrrrible.
rookie sophomore game was cool. paul pierce winning the 3 point contest was cool. that was about it. dunks in the all star game are cool too.
there's another basketball court up the street from my house that i'm looking forward to playing at maybe in april? only one of the hoops had a net tho. i gotta locate all the courts in the area.
i was talking with my friend today and he said he's sick of winter. i don't think i'm there, but i am looking forward to hanging outside more come springtime. looks like i'm finally going skiing in vermont this coming weekend, which will be nice. it'll be good to get away.
i've been watching a bunch of olympics. i saw Hannah Kearney from Norwich VT win the gold! stole it from the canadians! i think it's incredible. there are like 3500 people in Norwich. i think the police cruiser drove by my place once during the half year i lived there. congratulations Hannah!
saw the short track speed skating last night which was a crazy finish. also saw the cross country skiing today which was awesome.
wow there are too many sports. america's cup is over. good guys won! hopefully i'll get to watch some of it. i gotta find out if it's gonna be on tv. watching it on the computer isn't the same and doesn't do justice.
ok enough sports. i gotta be more prolific here! PROLIFIC. p for prose. r for reading-worthy. o for original. i for intelligent. f for free-writing. i for incisive. and c for creative! that's right. getting myself psyched up about writing.
oh yeah Valentine's day today, errr yesterday. went to brunch at the vegetarian/vegan place with family. got eggs florentine. eggs were real but the bacon wasn't. i almost asked if i could substitute turkey bacon for the soy bacon.
oh yeah my mom got me a mixer. amazing! and i used it the first day i had it!
i made bourbon praline cake. the recipe's online! Bourbon Praline Cake Recipe : Food Network Kitchens : Food Network
it was epic. not sure if it was the hardest thing i've ever made, but it wasn't easy. but it actually came out great! it was sooo good. i made it at chris's. he had makers mark and i used that (but i would have rather just used 80 proof bourbon). i didn't have kosher salt but i did have fine salt. i also didn't have a springform pan so i just used a cake pan and it came out fine. buttering and positioning the parchment paper was a little awkward but it worked out.
i didn't take a photo of the finished product but it was delicious. very heavy on the toasted pecans and the praline layer was fantastic. one of the best things i've ever made! i'm feelin pretty confident in the kitchen now after that showing. i'm gonna keep on steppin my game up. maybe i'll make somethin tomorrow! this is like my new thing. weird.
chris made pulled chicken in the slow cooker and he also made cole slaw and those were both fantastic of course. i'm sooo lucky that chris cooks a bunch. he's my inspiration! good times. i gotta eat healthy tho, been in feast mode too much haha.
here's a photo of the dessert as well as the flyer from that slooowed down music night i went to a little while back. i'm listening to a really good c+s mixtape right now.
ok yall bye.
