Non-Turkey Day


Non-turkey day? Well technically I can't really say "Happy Turkey" day cause our family actually doesn't eat turkey on this day. Yeah apparently the "older" adults are not fans of turkey so instead we just have a massive buffet of random foods.

How can I describe that day in one word? How about craziness, the fact that there were like 48 people there! The prepping was insane, I swear I was dragged into like 10 different supermarkets. Ugh, and all the cutting & peeling, I felt like my hand and arm were going to fall off. Oh and total eww, there was this thing I was asked to do with the Peedan eggs (the supposed thousand year old egg, but don't freak it's not really a moldy egg!), apparently I had to scoop out this middle goo that I swear after wiping it into napkins reminded me of sh*t!

Dude, when it actually came time for eating, there were multiple tables put together and it was like in the shape of a snake. It went from the kitchen into the dining room, into the space where the staircase was and finally into the piano room. Of course me & my girl Whitney were just slightly toasted and we were acting out scenes from Eurotrip. I totally freaked out this couple that came here from Taiwan to go to grad school (i had never seen them before). Yeah, I kept saying "Nepa Robo" and doing the robotic moves and we kept doing that one scene where the little boy walked like Hitler. They're probably going to think that all asian-americans are crackheads!

Oooh, we ended up playing the trivia pursuit pop culture edition (yeah this one, I can actually asnwer some questions). Well we played in teams and holy crap, my cuz Susan is totally Monica!! You see, with this edition, the pie question is on the DVD and after a time period, anyone else has the chance to steal it. Well I had told them all that if they already had that colored pie piece, if they answered it for that same color, they would lose their piece. Matt (Sue's bf) totally disregarded what I said and screamed out the answer and of course they lost their piece. Well, Susan totally pulled a Monica and was soooo pissed off at him, you could tell by her body language cause she refused to look at him or even have a body part near him. Then whenever our time came up for pie questions, she would scream, "Ok, that means you all shut up, we only need the pink color so keep your mouth quiet till you see it!" It was sooo freaky, all I could picture was Monica! I so feared for Matt's life if they had lost. But Matt/Sue/Em won and me & Whitney lost, but I think it was better that way for Matt's sake cause he so would have gotten his ass ripped out on the car ride home.

So to sum it all, it was a good day. Good food, DESSERTS, made a crazy video with Whitney, scared the crap out of some prissy asians, and watched Susan pull off a Monica! :)

Mishmash


What's worse than being stressed and burned out? When you take it out on food! I've suddenly become obsessed with all these different spreads. Like I have this one I got on a farm, it's a mix of peach and pear....soo good on an english muffin. Then the other day I saw that they had this new cinnamon butter so of course I had to get it too. What was the other thing? Oh yeah, I know everyone's had this before but this would be my first time actually buying it, that Nutella stuff. Holy crap, it's so incredible. I was like this stuff tastes like that rocher candy! Yeah forget about spreading it onto things, I just like dipping my finger into the jar and just eating it like that. Probably not a good thing.

Hmm, I am becoming an uber-nerd like Emmy says. I was in the library and I was so amazed. Apparently you have to check out your own books. They have this machine with this lil arm that you slash your ID thru and then there's this panel where you lay the book and this infrared light will scan the barcode. The best part is that there's this stamping sound (kinda like the old school where they used to stamp in the dates with that loud BANG). When you're all done, you get a receipt printed out too.

Oh the funniest thing ever tonight. I was dragging my cousin across the carpet pretending he was a vacuum cleaner. He wanted me to do this so don't think I was abusing him or something. Well he's pretty heavy so I got tired so I told him if he wanted me to do it again he would have to give me $5 jokingly. So later on, he comes over and hands me a napkin. Apparently he had drawn a 5 dolla napkin, even with Abe in his tall black hat! Awww how cute was that? Yeah, and it was spelled dolla, not dollar :P

Fishy memories


This morning Mr. Curry swam over to fishy heaven. This lil trooper was amazingly lively for a cheap feeder fish. I still can't believe he's lasted from sophmore year of college till now. Funny, looking back he was the only one to even survive during sophmore year. I think I bought a total of 7, naming some after the roomies in that room and the rest after food items. Ironically, the one named Cinnabun died that very night. Lesson learned, don't name fish after edibles. Then of course there was the Mle fish that used her biological warfare and killed off the rest of the fishes during that first week! But oh yeah, Mr. Curry stood strong! Normally I'm not too attached to my fishes, but this one actually has some pretty funny memories tied to him. I remember how he thrived on the brown Raritan river water and how he manages to turn the water in the tank a lovely shade of orange or green. But my most fond memory would be how whenever I went home for the weekend, I would actually pack him up to go home for like 2 days. I refused to put him inside a water bottle thinking that his body would snap on the way in or out of the small hole. So yeah, I would actually bring him home in his tank and seatbelt him into the seat. I didn't flush him down the toilet, I find that kinda gross and wrong. So Mr. Curry will be missed but there will be more of you in the future.

Attack...of the furniture!


I seriously have come to believe that I am the one person in the world where the most random things can happen to them! So I had just stepped out of the shower when I heard my cell phone ringing so I figured since I was alone in the house I could just run out nakey. Well I run into my room and go to the floor to get my cell (I don't know why I put it on the floor). When I stood up, my entire lower back was sliced up by my ghost drawer. What's a ghost drawer? Well it's what I named one of my desk drawers. It apparently opens up by itself randomly, like out of nowhere, it just slowly slides open. I have no idea why? It's not like it happens everyday. But seriously, it hurts soo much right now, it is such a huge cut and hurts like a mawfawka! So the lesson learned? That it is wrong to be nakey! Apparently if you are nakey, you will be punished!!

What's that taste?


I think I am the reason why advertisments work, everytime I see something food related, I'm like "Oooh, I so wanna try that!" Well I was in 7-11 before and I actually felt in the mood for a slurpee but then I realized how ridiculous I would have looked if I got one (furry scarf & mittens). I saw that they had the new holiday spice pepsi & of course I got it. I so wanted to know what was holiday about it so I had to try it out while driving. I think I was expecting something really gross, like some funky spice & stuff....or that it would taste like ashes of a cigar. Yeah, I have no clue what that taste is. At first, I thought it tasted like those japanese sucky candies...then the 2nd swig, there was some after tingly taste, I'm guessing it's cinnamon or something? I really have no idea what it is. Interestingly though, it's red....well okay, kinda freaky since even cherry pepsi isn't red colored. But I do know this, it's more gasey. Kinda like the soda they had in Willy Wonka and how they burped to fly.

Other's misfortunes can become your fortune


This is so bad that I enjoyed something out of someone's expense. I was driving home when I noticed what normally is only 2 lanes of road was now 4 lanes of cars that were just stopped dead in their tracks. Apparently there was a truck from the opposite side making a U-turn and some genius didn't pay attention or whatnot to the extended part of the truck. Well that car completely smashed into the back end of the truck! Seriously, I have no clue how you don't see that, the whole part has little lit up lights. Well obviously we had no way of driving down the road with the truck & car blocking the 2 lanes. So there was no choice but to go drive over the mediums. I had sooo much fun roaring over them, I swear, the lil mini cars were like "ka-dunk" over them but it felt like I was going over a piece of gum! Granted, if I had my Hummer, this would have been even more enjoyable. I have no clue why I get such a kick out of being able to drive over the cement mediums. I can't even imagine how much crazed I would be if I could ever go off-roading! Yeah, so that was the complete highlight of my night. I got outta an exam and then I got to do some roaring....doesn't take much to make me happy :)

Totally random but I am not understanding this craze with bracelet charms. Apparently one of my cousins is into it now and we're getting her some for her bday. Well they just came in the mail today, these things were sooo tiny & light, I could stick them into my nostrils (not that I tried). But seriously, these 4 lil charms cost us over $65, and they were the cheaper ones and silver too! Though we did have some fun looking at the website. There were these 2 really weird ones, one was of a couple naked on their knees...uhm ok? Then, there was one called "Vasectomy" and was of a guy with an arrow through his twig & giggleberries region. Now why would anyone want that on a bracelet? I guess maybe to celebrate an anniversary? Like, "Oh, on my 20th anniversary my husband got a vasectomy so now we can hump all the time and he'll only be shooting out blanks!"
