Hello Friends,
I ended up buying yet another cook book yesterday. This one focuses on the basics of cooking (like slicing, dicing) and also practical stuff about what tools are necessary or unnecessary in a kitchen. Thanks to Carrie for suggesting it :)
I spent about 13 hrs straight Watching Stargate SG-1 and Playing WoW. I must have watched nearly an entire season of Stargate (I'm up to season 9).
In other news, Celestia is being released on open servers today for Wizard 101. I'm actually excited to see how different Celestia feels on the live realm. More realms hopefully means less people jumping in unexpectedly. Although I was getting used to that a little bit, and I have to say, I did get saved quite a few times from random people.
Needless to say, today I will not be watching any stargate today (at least not before work), and I will not be playing WoW. My focus will be on enjoying Celestia on my balance and storm wizards.
Everyone have a great night/day.

Project is a go!
Hello Friends :)
I am pleased to tell you all that the plan is now in motion. I found some really cheap cookbooks (1 crock pot, and 1 stove top) and are now awaiting their arrival. Overall I spent $11.00 including shipping. Actually the shipping costed more than the books did. They should arrive between now and Nov 9th.
I'm all excited about this. Maybe I can even incorporate some dishes into the upcoming holidays. Speaking of holidays, 2 of my favorite ones are coming up; Thanksgiving and Christmas :D Also coming up is my birthday in December.
I don't have definite plans yet for my b-day, but I at least want to go see a movie called "The Tourist" starring Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. In November, I hope to see the new Harry Potter movie.
In Wizard news, it looks like Celestia is going live on Wednesday. I don't think I'll be testing any more. If I do play Wiz 101 today it may be on live working on my myth/ice combo.
Everyone have a great night/day.

Hello friends :)
Had a little set back yesterday. I spent just a little bit more than I expected on groceries and game costs, so right now a cookbook will need to wait (probably just a few days). I hadn't found a cookbook I was sold on yet anyway. On a higher note, I did find 20 bucks that I had tucked away :)
I called off work yesterday. When I woke up my right knee was pretty weak. Had I gone to work, I would've been ok (once my adrenaline got moving), but I would have been hurting today, most likely worse. Over the course of the day, my knee got worse so I think I made the right call. I did go to Walmart which didn't help it any, but we needed food in the house.
Very important Nascar race today in Matinsville Virginia. My favorite driver #11 Denny Hamlin has the pole for the race. He's 2nd in points so hopefully with a win today he can reclaim the number one spot :)
Everyone have a great night/day.
P.S. GO BUCKS!!!!!

Mission: Cook
Hello friends :)
So I did some digging around online for cookbooks and found very few that actually appealed to me. I'm trying to focus on cookbooks that are specialized in Stove-top or Crock-Pot. What I may end up doing is buying one of each. Cause lets face it, who wants to eat from a crock pot every night. We do have a toaster over, so I'm gonna have to look into cookbooks for that as well.
I'm hoping to start this project within the next week or 2 (if I order the cookbooks online it may take at least a week to arrive). I am going to scour Walmart's books section to see what they have.
Again, if anyone knows of any good cookbooks please let me know.

Changes
Hello Friends :)
I wanna start off by saying that the past few days I just haven't been feeling 100%. I don't know if its too much sleep, too many days off, or something else entirely. Anyway, last night I made an attempt to fix the problem by turning off the video games, and just sitting and enjoying a good movie.
You may remember from my very first blog post that the movie "Julie and Julia" is what started this whole blog. As I was watching the movie again I realized something that disturbed me about me and this blog. When I began, this blog was all about me; my daily life, fears, happiness, etc. Somewhere along the way, I convinced myself to write for the readers, for you all. So I began finding topic after topic to please the masses. The fact is, if they were topics I really wanted to write about, I wouldn't have had to work so hard to come up with them.
I'm not saying I want to go back to writing the same boring post every day. Believe me I agree that those posts were boring. But I can't just write about random things any more. Thats just not where I want this blog to take me.
I have an idea, but I would like your opinions on it. I know the basics of cooking, but most would say that I don't know how to cook. So... I was thinking of buying a cookbook and testing out my skills. Now we don't have an oven, so I'll have to work around that, but I think this is something I really could do.
Let me know what you all think. And if you know of a good cookbook, do tell! lol.
Everyone have an amazing day :)

Top 7 Things NOT to do in a horror movie
Hello friends :) I thought after the last time, that I would stop the Horror movie theme. However, all the good ideas I've had for these posts lately have been about horror movies. I absolutely promise that once halloween is over, you won't see anymore horror movie themed posts, lol.
So today's topic is the top 7 things NOT to do when being chased by a serial killer in a horror movie.
#1: Run Upstairs. This is seen in almost every horror movie, good or bad. This is one of the most illogical things a person can do. Your only escape from a higher level will be jumping out a window.
#2: Stopping to check for death. By this I mean, you've just severely knocked out your would-be killer. But instead of getting your rear end out of there, you stop to see if he/she is dead. Well, of course in any good horror movie, the killer is no where near dead and now you are thisclose to him/her.
#3: Not getting gas. We've all seen this one. The person is finally in the car getting away from the killer, only to run out of gas.
#4: Hiding in a room with no escape route. This is almost as good as going upstairs. Honestly, how did you think you were gonna get out? Put a hole in the wall? lol.
#5: Not turning around at the right moments. This is a classic one also. I don't know how many times I have been watching a movie and screamed at the screen "HE'S RIGHT BEHIND YOU!!!"
#6: Running back to where you started. Honestly IF I was a serial killer, assuming I've lost your trail, logically I am going back to where you were first.
#7: Go to a deserted place in the middle of nowhere, on or near Oct 31 or Friday 13th. Hoestly, you could avoid all these problems by just not going in the first place. *shrug*
Well, thats all I've got. Everyone have a great night/day.

Top 5 movies that I have to watch over and over
Hello friends :) Today's topic is the Top 5 Movies that I have to watch again and again.
#1 Almost Famous: This movie is fantastic if you like 70's/80's rock. Its based on the experiences of a band named Stillwater. After watching this movie, I looked up Stillwater on myspace, and I discovered some really awesome songs. There's a lot of good people in this movie. Jason Lee (my name is earl), Kate Hudson, Frances McDormand, Zooey Deschanel (sp?), and many others.
#2 Clueless: When I was a teen, I had to watch this movie EVERY DAY! (sometimes more than once a day) Even today, I still love this movie. Its just so stupid that its funny.
#3 St. Elmo's Fire: I was born just a little too late to be enthralled with the 80's teen movies, but I did make it a point to watch the major ones. I love this movie so much!
#4 Pearl Harbor: I love Ben Affleck so its no shock that I love this movie. I'm a bit of a history buff, so the historical aspect also appeals to me.
#5 Secret Window: This movie combines 2 of my favorite things; Johnny Depp and Stephen King. I read the "book" (its really a short story) before seeing the movie, but I love them both.
Any of these movies on your list? Whats a movie that you watch over and over?
