Back to work..

It's Saturday already! This week flew by! I had yesterday off, and that only seemed to last about an hour. Also, today is my date of hire at HCNH. I never thought I'd see 9 years!
Christmas was awesome, thank you all, your thank you cards are in the mail =-D.
My parents got me the DS game coach cooking. So today I decided to break it in a bit. I made my first souffles (a set of 2). They are supposed to be cheese, but I couldn't find the right type of cheese, so I settled on blue cheese (it looked just like the picture). It took a few minutes to get a grip on what the little chef dude meant, but I think I did very well. They expect you to whisk the whites by hand...until stiff...so my arm is now killing me! I was very good and did not open the oven door once while they were cooking. They do put lights and a window on the oven door, so I viewed the progress from there!
When I had a few minutes until they were done, I made a meterrainian salad ( I cheated and bought a salad kit for that!) and then put half the salad on each plate and the souffle on the other. Greg seems to like it.
I'm itching to try out the crockpot! I was thinking of making either pulled pork or baked beans in it. I'll probably make the beans, because I'm pretty used to that recipe, I've been making them since I was 15.
I hope everyone had a great Christmas! And have a good week!

Phrank: Minutes Late

Sorry, I was playing my new game, The Ship, for the last four hours, lost track of time. It's pretty good, it's an interesting blend of Sims and Counterstrike. I haven't played anything other than computer opponents so far, but I'm looking forward to playing real people. Also, I got some nice stuff of my registry, and a bunch of awesome stuff, it was a great Christmas. Thanks everybody!

What's on your Wish Liszt?

Well, It's 3 days to Christmas. Well sorta..

Jess has to work Christmas Eve and Night, so we're sorta doing an early Christmas to make up for it. Though, I think it's already come for us. The Ring came in today. Jess is now wearing it. And she loves it. And that makes me happy.


So for everyone else, some Festive music is in order. I just found something "Old School". "Old School" meaning something older than Liz. In this case it's the 8-bit musical goodness of the old NES game music mixed into carols. The Metroid \ Ye Merry Gentlemen Mix is my favorite so far.

While you download that, here's something for that Toy Shop Madness...

So.... I have my tree up and decorated. Most of my presents for y'all are wrapped. I only have 7 let to get. I'm playing Christmas music on Pandora at home, and humming them everywhere else. I would say I'm ready for the 24th!

My friend just IMed me in French- I hope I can remember enough to respond back properly. Silly Canadians.

I can't think of anything else to write, and I've met my quota. So sorry for the boring post; I'll try better next week!

Phrank: Christmas wish list

So there seems to be some issues with getting me stuff for Christmas. If you're really stumped, a KoL or XKCD t-shirt would be greatly appreciated. I wear a large shirt and here are my preferences if you decide to get me one. The following links are XKCD shirts, any KoL shirt is good.

More importantly, I would really appreciate this poster. It's cheaper than a t-shirt, and would look way cool in my room. We're all pretty geeky here, and it's pretty cool. Height Poster

This is probably the funniest Muppet's video I've ever seen.

Phrank: Thanksgiving Special

This Thanksgiving season, we have lots to be thankful for. I, in particular, am thankful for my wonderful fiance, Lisa, for the wonderful times we have together as a family, for Matt Cassel, for raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens, brown paper packages tied up with strings, these are a few of my thankful things. One thing we do not have to be thankful for is Pachebel's Canon. Watch the following video, so as to learn why Pachelbel's Canon in D haunts us to this very day. Greg, it relates to cellos, so you better watch it.



Thanks for a great Thanksgiving, here's a link to our first post ever in the blog, and it was about the legendary and infamous Munchkin game that still divides us to this very day. I did enjoy this game of Munchkin today, I mean, Rat on a Stick was hysterical. That first post was on March 24, and kicked off our sibling blogging. We're within four months of one year of posting, and it's been quite a year so far. Well, enjoy your month of Christmas music, now that Thanksgiving is over!

Anne's Triumphant Return!

Hello everyone! Sorry for the unexpected hiatus, but I am usually at work or asleep, so I can be awake for work the next day. The overtime is nice, but it kills my social life.

First off, any punishments for me?

2nd- what do you want for Christmas? I need ideas, people! I will be more than happy to provide you with gift ideas for me in a later post.

3rd- I will be home for Turkey Day. My plans are as follows: Get home on Wednesday night. Go to Liz's game and freeze my butt off. Go home and eat as much as I can. Go home and sleep.

Thanks goes to Greg for making me realize I could write this earlier and have it post on Wednesday!
