I don't actually cook but to put coconut milk into adobo can't be right. As the article states, there are a million and a half different recipes for adobo, the Philippine's national dish. One for each island in the archipelago and two for each person living there. Even I, who doesn't cook, probably have a version of adobo that I would make: less sauce, beef, like my mom makes.What's your recipe?http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/09/magazine/09Food-t-000.html
One thing about being a nerd is that you become obsessive on things. Imagine if you were a nerd who loved, loved, loved the anime K-ON!!, then you would absolutely try to learn everything about the show. You’ll find out about the main characters. How tall is Mio? What’s Ritsu’s blood type? Where is Tsumugi from? Is Yui an orphan? Afterwards, you’ll begin to delve into the more esoteric things of the show like the background characters (NSFW). Yup. You’ll research who they are and what makes them tick. Just imagine how nerdy you have to be to do that.
That’s pretty obsessive. And so kawaii!
We, as a nation, had rougher times. Maybe we can look back and wonder what stupid fools are we.
I had a nightmare last night. I can’t remember the complete specifics. Maybe it wasn’t a true nightmare of being chased or stalked or haunted. Maybe it was just a creeped out feeling while asleep. All I know is that I woke up in the middle of the night with the chills as if something, evil, was in the room with me.
I usually keep the door to my bathroom closed. Since it’s winter, my furnace is always on. So I keep the door to my bathroom open so that it isn’t stuffy with heat in the morning. After I woke up in chills, I spied the black maw that is the open bathroom. I couldn’t get it out of my mind that something, evil, was going to come out of there.
I roll over, but that black maw of creepiness is still there.
I try to use the magic kumut, but it was too hot to get under the cover.
I have to go to bed tonight. The dark maw of the bathroom beckoning, but hopefully nothing evil in the room with me.
While it was Hawaii, whose temperature never changes, there was a lot of trade winds blowing. You would think that it wasn’t all that bad, but it was. It was a little bit chilly. Getting in the water took a quick jump or a slow ease into. Once in though, it was delicious. We spent every day at the beach or by the pool and the trade winds blowing finally convinced me to get a wind shirt for the water, a pretty little navy blue one from T&C.

Let’s drink. It’s the new year, but we’ve been drinking since Thanksgiving. We needed the drinks considering that it was already 15 hours of traveling and we had not yet made it to our destination. Anytime you travel that long, a beer will taste nice.

Starting to post the pictures to last year’s awesome Hawaiian Vacation. It may take a couple of days because I took close to 600 pictures. I’m gonna curate the pictures and post only the ones I like. I’ve already posted some of the pictures:
Azu~nyan’s vacation.
Check out the vacation Flickr set for all the photos as they get posted.
Just needed a post here so that I can write that binary number you see above.
I keep meaning to finish this manga but, because it’s kind of out of print, I have to buy it online. Dang. Someone get me this for Christmas! Oops. Maybe next time.

Welcome to the New Year! I resolve to… Nah never mind because it never works out.
Happy New Year!
I heard that Christmas day is one of the days in which people watch a lot of movies at the theatre. Although, we caught it on the day after,True Grit (2010) was our Christmas movie. And while it wasn’t packed at all, it was more people than I expected given that a snow storm was coming and the movie was a Coen brothers film.
Ahh, Coens! Their last film was serious so this one has to be a comedy. You wouldn’t know it from the commercials that play up the fact that this is a western. And you wouldn’t know it that the last time the book was filmed, it had John Wayne in his only Oscar winning role as Rooster Cogburn, one of the protagonists. Jeff Bridges will make you forget John Wayne. But not The Dude.
The young lady playing the lead is pretty good. She would get an Oscar nomination if she wasn’t the lead but the supporting actress. She was good. Very serious as a character and whose seriousness brings out some of the hilarity of her situation.
Jeff Bridges is good too. Somewhat dudish, but only in some of his locution as he sounded more like the dude than a old-timey US Marshall.
I liked the movie for the simple fact that it was funny at times. It made watching it during my Christmas break enjoyable, and the mirth in the movie overshadowed some of the more gruesome parts of the story. It was good enough for 2 young kids to watch as well, as long as they don’t mind the dialog.
3 of 5 stars.
