Todays highlights/lol-moments:

1) Parsel from mother, containing 6 lightbulbs for my adventsljusstake and a half-eaten daim chocolate bar (apparently, that's better than nothing xD).

2) This biblical animation, a gem of the internet I found by accident. The unique take on galloping horses are nothing short of amazing!

3) Three of the four guys at work doing a quite good attempt at a split to try and lift a piece of carbon from the floor with their teeth. Impressive self-abuse, and surprising flexibility I must say! I hadn't laughed that hard since watching that previous mentioned animation a couple of hours earlier.



This was a very nice day. I love my internship-studio. xD ♥

hääj! Jag jobbar på med Fang, har kommit en bit. Kommer posta det tidigast nästa tisdag (för jag har ännu inte listat ut nåt bra sätt att posta fler sidor än en per dag, så det måste gå lika många dagar som sidor you do the math).

Men, det var inte det vi skulle snacka nu! Utan om RAPMUSIK! OK så här äre: Spakur har släppt ett KRISPAKET med 8 låtar från hans kommande två album, och det låter jääävligt bra! Jag var ju lite besviken på hans förra skiva Lördagen Den 14e (jag hade väl typ bara hört låtarna Rapparen Tornado och Ful Äcklig och Singel, och trodde att det skulle vara mer på den linjen, festliga grejer sådär), men det här verkar NICE! Det finns kul grejer och allvarliga grejer men dessa är inte alldeles bittra. Men, så kommer låten 'Gör Stan' och man blir bara "men ääh han har ju redan gjort låten Sjukare Än Gud, det här är ju samma låt" ...trodde jag! Så kommer sista versen som är KICK ASS! Och mään, Spakur har så himla vildsint stil på sitt rappande överhuvudtaget! Inte liksom nån aggro-badboyattityd, bara med en massa energi! Fett!
Så yeah, ladda ner om du gillar rap med flummiga beats (..well, ett par lånade beats också) och häftiga ordlekiga texter. Laddas ner HÄRIFRÅN
OMG jag är så stoked inför när skivorna faktiskt släpps alltså!!!

annars...eehhhh, det är ok. Inget särskilt

Right.
Brukar inte ge mig in i diskussioner som florerar på Bloggosfären eftersom jag inte just hör dit. Och, hm, nu vet jag inte heller om det här kvalar in eftersom det snarare handlar OM en blogg.

That's right.

Jag ska pladdra på om att modebloggaren Mogi går på a-kassa i två veckor. Varför stör det här mig så mycket? Mata inte trollen, brukade alltid forummänniskorna varna mig. Och ändå måste jag ventilera.

Den framgångsrika modebloggarskan Mogi, 20 år, skall under två veckor inte röra de pengar som hon tjänar på sitt modebloggande (det är en del). Istället har hon av Aftonbladet fått 3 770 kr att leva på i två veckor. Då är alltså hyra och mat (hon bor hemma och får där middag och frukost lagat åt sig) avdragna redan. Mogi får inte bli bjuden (av exempelvis en vän när de är ute på restaurang), men hon får gå på pressevents som vanligt (där det vankas pråligt gratiskrubb) medan kläder & accessoarer som hon köpt veckan innan trillar in på rullande band.
Det första som hände när experimentet körde igång var att hälften av summan gick åt till hennes mobilräkning, varpå hon förkunnade att eftersom det var en HALV månad, skulle även räkningen halveras. Nu har hon ungefär en tusenlapp kvar, efter att ha köpt fika och hyrt film.

Detta är kolossalt provocerande av flera anledningar, inte minst eftersom meningen är att vi ska se hur hon klarar av att leva som FATTIG på A-KASSA. Hon skall, enligt utsago, ge "tips och råd" hur man kan klara sig på lite pengar. Det hela är för en god sak, att uppmärksamma ungdomsarbetslösheten och att många unga faktiskt lever på sådär lite, tänka sig!!
Jag är förbluffad.
Förutom den självklara paradoxen, känner jag mig dessutom lite paff.
"Vänta lite, vad är det ni säger?! Jag är väl inte fattig!!"

Så. Vad är egentligen definitionen av "fattig"? WIKIPEDIA!
''I den politiska debatten i rikare länder är definitionen av fattigdom oftast bredare och omfattar de hushåll vars inkomst inte tillåter större sparande, och inte har särskilt mycket pengar till exempel tv-innehav, tandvård och liknande, utan måste ansöka om försörjningsstöd för sådant. I till exempel Sverige talar man, i de fall ordet används, ofta om de som får socialbidrag som "fattiga".''

Nu betalar jag iofs för tv-innehav (annars blir det snigel på ögat!), men jag har aldrig råd med exempelvis kläder och tandläkarbesök, vilket jag inte ser som något konstigt eftersom hyra och mat trots allt måste prioriteras. Det är irritersamt att välja bort saker man skulle vilja ha, men jag är långt ifrån ensam.

Men, wait what, lever jag alltså UNDER "skälig levnadsnivå"?

''Existensminimum innebär en fastställd nettosumma per månad, som ska räcka till mat, kläder, TV-avgift med mera, på en låg kostnadsnivå men enligt vad som kan anses skäligt. (...)

I Sverige 2009 var summan för riksnormen, årligen fastställd av Socialstyrelsen, 3680 kronor per månad för ensamstående. 2008 var summan 3550 kr per månad. Dessutom tillkommer en summa för boendet beroende på vad det kostar i det individuella fallet. Den skäliga kostnaden för bostadskostnad är olika för olika kommuner, t ex skiljer sig hyresnivåerna mycket mellan storstäder och landsbygd. I mindre städer och landsbygdskommuner brukar maximalt 3000 kr i månaden accepteras som bostadshyra för unga ensamstående vuxna, 18-29 år. (...)''


Ja, satan i gatan, det gör jag. Och de flesta jag känner också, för den delen. Tjoflöjt!



OBS! Jag vill infoga en liten disclaimer: jag har pengar i mitt företag (hej frilansare) som jag väldigt sällan rör eftersom jag är rädd att råka begå ekobrott. Med andra ord är det så jäkla INTE synd om mig om det skulle fucka upp sig totalt. Men jag skulle inte bli beviljad ett lån, direkt.


Dock!

Tid och möjlighet att teckna - Priceless.

ねことバナナ, originally uploaded by Yunbot.

I've shrunk ahhh! That's why I haven't posted in forever - hard to type you see. This post took my five hours!

Seriously though - I've been very busy working as a Level Designer / Intergrator at EA in Guildford! I'm having oodles of fun, I must add :D :D
Besides that, I had the chance to help out with voice acting for monsters in the game i'm working on... so maybe I'll be in the credits twice? XD

Hmmm what else... ah! I have a new boyfriend... soooo... I've been a bit preoccupied in that area too >.> He's a lovely Japanese fellah - and we have a lot in common (though we come from very different backgrounds!! So we see things from different angles, adds a lot of spice to the relationship, hmm? XD). Anyhoo, it's still very new, so who knows.

ALSO! I took up TAIKO DRUMMING!!!!! It's bloody brilliant, I'm addicted. I've been doing it for a few months now - and hopefully next year I'll get to preform with my group in public :O That'd be cool (but scary). Here's a video of my group leader and his top group he tours with (Joji Hirota http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCAiZ4ns3ZM ) I'm in the beginners group... we are rubbish right now, but we're learning pretty quickly!

Hmm, I've got a few freelance illustrations to get done by the end of the year - can't show them now, but I'll give you a glimps when they are done :D

In the mean time - my rampent Banana obsession continues~

Hope you're well guys! Sorry for being absent!
Take care :) xx


Giving Thanks.

O-oh god. N-no please t.. this can't be happening. My mp3 player just suffered a freak accident and was eaten by my newly installed and freakishly heavy door. Such perfectly timing I swear it was suicide. My happy place. It's fading. My long walks and my music. No, please. Don't do this to me. First my awesome headphones and now this. Please say it isn't so. Crap.

Okay I will not panic. Much. Just in moderate and suitable amounts. Breathe deep jen, breathe deep. I guess... no new books for me this Xmas after all. Sob. I had my eyes set on finally getting owning fresh copies of Goethe and Dante a-and those art books! I HAD DREAMS MAN. Damn you door. Sad sad face man, sad face.

EDIT: Fund the ancient little piece tucked away but still working. At just 512mb it's such a cute old thing but hey it plays music I will survive! ;;/

I got these when Dreamcatchers were the fad. Found it while looking for some nail polish in a drawer. I think I was around 12 at a firework store ha ha! You know, I used them once and it worked! You tell the doll what your worry is, put it under the pillow and sleep. The next day your anxiety will be gone.

Off to seeing families tomorrow! I'm contributing salad at my aunt's house. Then back to work Friday.

Speaking of dreaming... )

Part two of yesterday's drawing!


aww Pin... you are too sly!

Hehe.
So yes, tonight the baking starts... this is my feasts' menu:

Turkey - Brined in Allspice/Ginger/Peppercorn mixture. Lined with Celery, Baby Carrots, and Potatoes. Stuffing made of sliced Apples, Pears, and Raisins. Roasted in stock with Garlic, Cloves, and a Bay Leaf under the skin.
[I love to peel back the skin and add flavors there... since I don't actually EAT the skin. ^^]
Ham - Baked with Crushed Pineapple rucked into the spiral cut, and cubes of Pineapple toothpicked to the outside. Roasting Habenero Peppers will also be staked to the outside of the ham. Crisped up with a Honey-Maple-Walnut glaze.
Cornbread Pudding - [My dear boyfriend's dish ♥] Whole kernel and creamed Sweet Corn with Corn Muffin Mix, Sour Cream, baked golden and gooey delicious.
Butternut Squash - [My dear boyfriend's dish ♥] Smashed Butternut Squash with Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Gloves, and Ginger and baked till delicious.
Green Beans - Like my mum used to make, sautee'd bacon adds some smokeyness to regular ol' Green Beans.
Cornmuffinbaconcheesymuffins - Yes, that's what I call them. They're based off of Rachel Ray's of a similar name. I haven't made it before, but it sounds DELICIOUS.
Dinner Rolls - For those that don't want a decadent cornmuffin, just standard Bakery-made Dinner Rolls.
Pumpkin Spice Cake - My "Signature" cake now, I've made it for my boyfriend's birthday as well as mine, and I'm trying a more gooier variant for Thanksgiving... here's hoping it comes out good! ::crosses fingers::

Yeessssss... Cornbread/Cake are in the oven. House smells WONDERFUL... I can't wait.

YES!

Hey Kam I made this post for you. I looked up some new turkey brine guides.

Alton Brown's from last year: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/good-eats-roast-turkey-recipe/index.html
We need: Veggie Stock cubes, apple.

Two high rated ones from AllRecipes -

Citrus: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Citrus-Turkey-Brine/Detail.aspx
We need: Orange, Lemon, Bay leaves(?)

Apple: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Apple-Brine-for-Turkey-the-Night-Before-Cooking/Detail.aspx
We need: Apple juice.

And for any of them, ICE.

I'm leaning toward trying the citrus one. Other than the yam pie, is there anything else I need to look up?
