When you have jarred mol� and the instructions say “mix 4 parts water with one part mol�” trust the damned instructions!!! Don’t mix the sauce and the water together and think “this is too dmaned thin!” or go ahead and think that, I’m not the boss of your thoughts. Whatever you do, don’t double the amount of sauce! It thickens as it cooks! It heats up and gets thicker. THICKER. Too thick and strong and you will end up adding that much more water.
On the other hand you will end up with 8 million buttload of mol� which tastes great on everything. Also, make more tofu than you think you need since you will end up with all this sauce. The sauce is delicious and you want to eat it on everything and you wonder what it would be like on ice cream. I’m a total mol� whore. I’m gonna go buy me an abuelita to make me wonderful mol� all day every day.
Let’s see…what else…
I love love love love the tech support at MovableType! I really really do. I am being assured every step of the way that I am not functionally retarded and that it is not necessary for me to beat anyone or anything with a sledgehammer! She defines the problem, tells em what needs to be done and then summarizes everything into exactly what I need to ask my host’s useless tech guys. Amazing. I should send them cheesecake and tequila!
A week to Texas! WOOOOOO!
I absolutely need to stop watching all the videos of the animals being saved and in danger in New Orleans. I am forced to picture Ghengis or Maddie in these situations and it kills me. I imagine Ghengis when he gets sad and he lays down and puts his nose between his paws and watches the room using only his eyebrows. Maddie is so loving and trusting it would kill her to think I abandoned her. I don’t want to think about those poor, sad, confused dogs and cats with no good way to survive and no good way to understand what’s going on.
but let’s not talk about things excessively depressing…
Dammit, i wish I didn’t make my anniversary weekend with David a secret because I want to ramble on about it. I want to tell you all about it and say “dating me is an adventure” and you will agree! Okay, I will continue to give him clues and when he figures it out I will share it with the world.
today…it’s an amazingly good day!

Hoping that I see you on the Street
it’s your kind of day
as you can see, nothing has been resolved yet with my MovableType issues but I am seriously considering getting a new host. EasyASPHosting has been good to me up to this point, reasonably priced, consistent service and all that. There comes a time, though, when you have to be willing to pay more to get service that goes beyond someone in another country getting paid less than minimum wage with a goal of closing every help ticket that comes his way with no actual urge to help.
I will pay more to have my site hosted at a place that is willing to pay to have actual, real tech support, not jokey clown car tech support.
I’ve saved all of the emails between me, blake, jared, brendan, gilbert and the newly added ‘rey’, someday I will find the strength to post them.
I had one of those perfect pms music trifectas this morning with sad songs making my voice crack as I sang them. I’m such a girl.
Today we had Jessi’s birthday cake party. Go Jessi! Sunday I take Alan to a Twins game for his birthday, Go Alan!
Tonight for dinner it’s tofu mol� with veggies and rice. I’m using a jarred mol� sauce, sigh, I feel shame. I want to make it but my mol� sauce takes all day and lots of tweaking and adjusting. Sauce from a jar takes minutes and if it does not taste good we can blame the jar. Easy!
David is off teaching a guitar lesson, hopefully i will mostly get dinner done by the time he gets here. I’m not so domestic as I used to be, mostly ut of laziness, but I have my moments.
There’s a first time for everything
Today I had some firsts…
1) I voted in my first primary. I’ve never voted in a primary before, i’m still not even sure of the point of the primary but I looked up the candidates and we wandered over and voted. I even abstained from voting on the categories that I didn’t know (except for Ted Cabana, I totally voted for him. How could I not?).
1a) I vouched for david as he did not have the new address on his license. I did not have my new license but I had a gas bill. I had to sign a paper saying that David was legit. I had to sign an oath. Neat.
2) I drank tamarind soda! It was good!
3) I saw a squirrel poop!!! (see entry below) It finally happened, pretty much all of my dreams have been realized.
yeah, okay, only 3 new things, but still!!!!
jibblies
Plans are in place for the last weekend in October. YAY. I would tell you about them but i don’t trust that you won’t tell David. I know you! You’re crazy! You’d totally email my boyfriend and tell him.
I’ll give you hints…cheese…labyrinth…bucolic…
David and I watched ‘Straw Dogs’ last night. I spent a good couple hours chewing on it in my head and I decided that I really really disliked it. It was gratuitous, excessively so. Not a single character was believable, the motivations were completely disingenuous. Not a single person in the movie was not a complete asshole. Every character was comprised of one out of tune note.
It was gratuitous, unnecessarily so.
Happy birthday yesterday to Alan!!!!!!
Happy Birthday today to Jessi!!!!
What is it with all you damned Virgos!!!
For some reason I thought i had 2 weeks to go before I went to Texas! I was so so wrong. I have 10 days. So I had to book my hair appointment and the best available option was next Thursday, the night before I leave. Dammit. Can not wait for this trip. It will be 1000 hectares of fun.
Man, the weather here sucks!
last night there was a spider on me. Today there was a spider on my iPod. Asshole spiders!!!
Why does someone need more than one iPod? They’re all very small, the regular sized version is a small device, the smaller ones are just smaller. Are someone’s iPod needs so disperate and specific that you would need more than one size? I don’t get it. I have all these friends with iPods who went out and got every iteration of the iPod because it was new or smaller or whatever. I can see getting the larger capacity ones, but beyond that…i don’t know.
And i’m the queen of useless money spending!
WOW!!!! Sometimes it DOES happen right outside your office window. Amazing.
I doubt at the installation part of you

Urge to fly to India and punch cheap, second rate tech support rising…Urge to go to the MovableType offices and offer up cheesecake and tequila also rising.
Urge to chain smoke also rising.
Renewed my driver’s license today. Afer sitting there for 30 minutes I’ve decided this: If you are too old or addled or whatever to negotiate the system at the DMV then you can not drive. I know the DMV is harder than anything you will ever have to negotiate, but still, I need to know that the other people on the road are at least as semi-skilled as I am. You go to the desk, you tell the lady what you want, she gives you the appropriate form and a number, they call your number and tell you what counter to go to. There’s no need for aimless wandering, staring at empty counter space or weeping.
If you cannot get your license renewed without drooling, I don’t want you merging with me. Go away.
This is a 9.25 pound sugar beet.
I’m off to get cancer.
