Just gotta give kudos to the redesign of blogger. Real nice. I would love to have a link for people to leave comments (well... maybe not!) and I love the little happy/ sad/ confused etc. avataurs that livejournal has. Speaking of which, I do have a livejournal, but it's rather.... er... sparse. at the moment... (ahem!)... yes.

I am thinking of doing a major redesign of my webpage to incorporate some graphics / cartoons. There is a lot of stuff on there I think could come off too. And it gets me to thinking, maybe I should just bite the bullet and buy a web address and set up home there. But that includes expense and software and more stuff than I think I want to deal with right now. So I will continue to split my web presence between blogger and angelfire (though angelfire is pissing me off with their ad bar at the side of the screen. I use to have a geocities account until they started plastering popups all over my page!)

I am puttering around tonight. Made some mad pukka food from the Naked Chef cookbook "Happy Days" (which in a way I think is a very ironic title - I'll betcha Jamie Oliver is anything but happy with his recent venture with "Jamie's Kitchen" - I would think that would be very stressfull and the marketing folks were all probably like, "James me lad, you have to do something fun and not be so serious...") Actually, the cookbook was written after his marrige but before the birth of his kids, so that would have put it at about the right time.

Anyway, I made a milk chicken recipe (only I made it with pork chops) which had you salt, pepper, and sage the meat (and sprinkle one side with cinnamon), then fry in a bit of olive oil and butter. Dump into a pan with some squashed garlic and chunked onion, drop in some sage leaves (I used lemon verbina) and bake at 375 til done. I also made some roast potatoes - cut potatoes in half and boil until just tender. Bake in a pan with olive oil, cracked pepper and salt ('n something else? I don't remember...) Then we had salad (with lettuce from me garden! Only thing that came up. Tomorrow I should go out there and till it up and plant some more for "fall harvest" tee hee hee.  Morgan gets her kicks pretending to be a farmer!)

I am not living enough lives to do everything I want. I feel that I'm not the kind of person to sit idyll by as things as kewl as web comics like http://twolumps.keenspace.com/ exist! Garg. But it's like there aren't enough hours in the year for me to be online and bla de blar learn all things about computeries like 133t (just found out what that meens) and manga and conventions (which I have never been to) and politix (which I feel obliged to keep up with but that really leaves me cold) and do ghood in the world and keep interested in hobbies etc. and still do things like go to the Irish fest which I am doing today : http://www.clevelandirish.org/ 

Morgan is suffering a mind riot.

Do I have interest in the Biscut Fire Recovery Project? My email says I do.
Do I have an interest in living my life online? Naw, not really. I enjoy sleep, glorious sleep. Therefore, between two jobs and my spastic creativity which can't decide when it's inspired to write a novel or draw a silly picture, and the fact that I still like to drink beers and don't want to turn into a dumpling (more than I already am, at least) which makes me need to take walks and such, and paired with the multitude of fun things that go on in this town (such as store closing clearance sales - bwaaaa!!!!) Be sure to get in there and buy buy buy :( , I really am not willing to dontate my time to clickin around the net.

Still, here I am with a new found hobby. And in need of a light table. An in need of something that doesn't roadblock my images! Grrr...

An itz zo hot here that my mouse is sticking to the desk.,..
