well, gotta pass on the good news ^-^

remember the song “Baby’s got back”, aka the big butt song?  well, someone has done a christian spoof of the song, called “baby’s got book”, you can download the windows media player version here – http://www.public.asu.edu/~tiantang/share/babygotbook.wmv

its pretty funny!  got lyrics like

“I like big Bibles I can not lie,
You Christian brothers can’t deny,
When a girl walks in with a KJV*
And a bookmark in proverbs, You get stoked.

It got a name in place,
you know this girl has been saved
It looks like one of those large ones,
With plenty of space in the margins,
Oh baby, I want to read it with you,
Because your Bible has got pictures,
My minister tried to consult me,
But the book you’ve got makes me so Holy.”

 just go download it 🙂

dinner yesterday went really well!  Try my chilli recipie!

Yesterday Laura hosted a murder mystery.  It was lots of fun   and Im glad to say that I was almost the murderer (sp?) I certainly had a hand in it

today I cooked dinner.  will be serving it in about 20 minutes.  I made chilli, so here’s the recipie for michele’s sunday chilli –

Ingredients –

500g mince meat

1 onion

1 tbsp chilli powder

1 tsp cocoa powder

1 tsp coriander

Olive oil (to taste)

1 capsicum (red or green)

1 tbsp tomato paste

Salt and pepper (to taste)

Tabasco sauce (to taste)

1/2 cloves garlic

1 can tomato sauce or tomatoes

1 can kidney beans

Method –

Warm olive oil with crushed garlic, chilli powder and coriander in a saucepan.

Brown chopped onion followed by mince in saucepan.

Once browned, add tomato sauce, drained beans, diced capsicum, cocoa powder,  and tomato paste.

Add salt, pepper and Tabasco to taste.  If needed, more chilli powder.

Bring to the boil and then simmer for 20 or 30 minutes.

Serve hot with bread or rice and salad.

gotta go and make the bread, well, prepare it.  hopefully it will be very very yummy

I like cooking, in fact, recipie books are one of the two best pressies anyone can get me, absolutly love them.  thou it was fun making my own

i lead such a sinful life.  sigh…  but lets not dwell on that.

well, speaking of faults – materialism…  i just bought an iPod.  his name is bob

I know it probably sounds like all I’ve been doing lately is shopping, and well, its true…  but its also justified.  The fact is i am going away for 3/4 months, I need to buy clothes, make-up etc.  I’ve needed to buy new clothes for about 2 years, its just I’ve never really done a big buy at one time.  and make-up, well, everything always runs out at once…  murphys law or something.

As for the other things…  I have actually been thinking on buying an iPod for a little, and going to japan again made me decide to buy it becuase how else am I going to transport my music collection? and I know what it’s like to live with out music you understand and can sing along to.  it just ended up happening earlier than I expected.  perfume, well, thats part of my one year plan.  I’ll talk about that another time…

on to other kinda related matters – Monday I did a fast.  and no, not to get thin, it was a ‘religious fast’ thank you very much.  its one of my aims for this year, to do a 21 day fast.  I went to a service earlier this year and the topic was fasting, and how by prayer and fasting you can break the hold of things in your life.  and I need breaking.

I have to admit that I have a really really bad addiction to reading fanfiction.  its not bad to read, but when i spend a quarter to a third of a day reading it, its rather distructive.  And try as I might, i have not been able to give it up.  So i decided that that would be my focus for my fast.  And I am pleased to say that I think its been successful.  Mainly because after working all day, looking at really really yummy food, and on top of that other temptations being shoved into my face, and having to say no – to food, everything else seemed to be insignificant.  resisting something that you actually need to live made me realise it isnt that hard to say no to something that really, you dont need.

I’m very happy about that.  very.

well, its been a pretty busy week. 

I actually went to the beach.  me.  beach.  you have no idea how, how, well, how unlike me that was.  I hate the beach, sand, sand, bad hair, etc.  but I acutally enjoyed  it on saturday.  we went in the afternoon, so it wasnt  so busy, and it wasnt hot becuase there was a good breeze.  well, acutally a little too windy, hard to swim…  but it was enjoyable none the less.

Oh and I saw emma and her partner and bub on sunday.  its so hard to believe she has a kid!  Im happy for her, but man, kid at 23.  I’m still looking for a steady bf.  ah well, it suits her well.

found a really cheap perfume store in brissy – http://www.perfumeconnection.com.au I brought my sui dreams real cheap.  Im very happy.  saved like 50%!

I have a kanji test tomorrow, so I have go study.  2nd week back and I have to study

american idol is… intresting…  a goth girl just sang phantom of the opera….

anyway.  its been a very very intesting week.  mainly because uni started again.  blah.  Im not good at the study thing….  but japanese has been fun so far, catching up with a few ppl and speaking in jap…

emma`just rang!  i get to see her for the first time in 5 years on sun!  how exciting!

phew.

i cant believe it.  some thing I said to myself I would complete before the end of last semester is finished.

thats right folks, I now have a working website.  check it out http://www.geocities.com/guardian_forever/

I am not 100% happy with it, but its a start.  I want a website that is more professional, but this will be fine for the moment.

and not a moment too soon either – just before I leave for my first day of this semester at uni.  wah.

can you believe it.  I actually went to sexpo….

http://www.sexpo.com.au

it was intresting… but i probably wont go back again… I mean, there are some stalls there that are pretty unique, but most stuff is regular stuff you can get at any old sex store.

the big… um, ‘private parts’ (ppl dressed up in suits) that were walking around were just plain disturbing. 

As for the male stripper.  he wasnt even funny.

bought a showbag, even mum and dad got a laugh out of it.  I now have fuzzy handcuffs

the thing I got the biggest kick out of was ‘mould you man’ that made me laugh! If i was a guy, I wouldnt know if I would be proud or mad….

i find it amazing that good things all come at once.  really!

Monday I was offered a position as a research assistant at my university.  me..  RA..  hehe, I never thought it would happen!  the project is a colaboration between QUT, Brisbane city council and the CSIRO.  Its to do with daylighting and modeling, and would be worth about $8000 a year for me.  But it would be starting april/may.  so since I’ve taken the scholarship I really cant take the RA position.  Im a bit dissapointed, but Steve said that he will try to get them to pospone it for me til I come back in july.  lets hope!  its such a good opportunity for me!

saw a horror movie last nite and wasnt scaried.

drank 4 drinks in 40 minutes.  mum got mad at me. but wasnt drunk strangely enough.

i broke a nail……………   wahhhhhhhhhhhh…….

And im not being a girl, thank you very much.  its broken about half way down, almost split all the way across, and there was blood and all when I did it…  its going to take a few months to grow out I think.

but the big problem is that it distresses me.  I always get really distressed when Im sick or broken.  I hate it!!!

neway.

at work, I found out this afternoon that I caused a little stir among the morning staff.  when i got back from japan I gave souviners to 3 ppl at work.  2 had actually asked for something.  for everyone else I brought some japanese sweet cakes.  but the morning staff went thru kens pocket and found the pressie I left for him, and apparently have been talking badly about it behind my back

you cant win, ne?  so I’m just not going to care

well, I can now officially say that I have been stuck in a traffic jam  and Im not all that angry about it or anything….

so heres the story – the gateway, well, there were grass fires in nundah, so it was closed from like 4 this afternoon…  maybe earlier.

so like this is a big problem.  I use the gateway to get to work, heaps of ppl use it to get from the south side of brissy to the north.  and its one of the easiest ways to get to the airport.

and not only that, it was closed from the airport entrance north.  so I was screwed… 

it took me 100mins or so so do a trip that usually takes 25ish.

jolly good.

so that was my first real traffic jam.  thank god no cops were around becuase I was talking for half of it on my phone…..
