36/365: My weekly commute.

I drive around 300 miles a week commuting in this car.
That's 6.6 hours a week.
That's 400 minutes.
That's 24,000 seconds.

That's entirely way too long for me to be on the road dealing with so many assholes.

35/365: Calm before the storm.

It's supposed to rain tomorrow and Thursday and the people of California are freaking out. I, personally, enjoy the rain. The sound, the smell, the whole staying indoors thing. Thunder makes it even better, but I still have yet to hear thunder out here.

So in preparation for the rain I took all but 2 minutes to put our chairs in the storage closet out there, and cover the bbq. Whew, didn't think I could handle it.

34/365: Brain dead

This is me....after one of the longest days ever....and a 200 question, 3 hour mock registry test, which i still managed to fail.

That's why we are starting to practice early.

I'm going to enjoy my Czechvar now.

33/365: It's gonna take a lot more than that ;)

My mom sent me some much needed makeup from Avon. I've been using the same old stuff for a while now and needed some new colors. Though, with the way I feel and look lately, it's going to take a lot more than that to make me look pretty again. ugh.

But I do still love getting packages from my mommy :)

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to drench myself in beer because today was flipping crazy and non-stop madness. grrrrr

32/365: Superbowl!

Even though the Trojans aren't in the Superbowl this year, this is Cy's only jersey so I thought it would be fitting for today's picture of the day.

Besides, he's showing support for his dad's alma mater :)

PS- I won 500$ in a superbowl pool tonite!!!! weeeeeeee!

31/365: Supermarket Hatred

We only go to the grocery store when we absolutely need to (i.e. starving, having a party). Now, granted we are on our last roll of TP, have no milk, and no food to cook for dinner, but that is ok because we have an unopened bottle of champagne from new years, a pint of heavy creme that is about to turn, some beer and burger buns, and a jar full of pickle juice with probably only one pickle left. We can concoct something out of that, right?

I don't know why, but I have found myself to develop a strong hatred toward the grocery store. Between the slow, aisle hogging people, to the long annoying lines, to the carts that somehow always end up a tad bit too close to my car in the parking lot, I really would much rather go hungry (temporarily, of course) than deal with that. I always leave pissed off. Sad, I know. But true as you can see!

*Whispers* we will probably end up going later tonight once all the slow old people are sound asleep and the run away germy carts are tucked in for the night .That's the joy of having a 24 hour Safeway. Now, if only i will be awake myself to go...

Oh, and one more thing....this blog has successfully posted a picture a day, everyday, for this entire month of January! So far so good. I am proud :) Now, I am off to eat some burger buns....

30/365: A Pizza Without Sauce? BLASPHEMY!

We found this really good Italian restaurant that makes excellent pizza but whenever we go, and this is the second time so far, we have to specifically ask for our pizza Margherita to not have sauce, which is how a pizza margherita is supposed to be made in the first place....with no sauce. That's what its known for! But for some reason they act like it's blasphemy to not want sauce on the damn margherita pizza. They must have confirmed "so, NO sauce? you sure no sauce? no sauce??" three times.

According to Foodfuckingnetwork.com here are the ingredients for a pizza Margherita:

* 1 cup crushed tomatoes
* 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
* 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped or julienned
* 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
* 1/2 pound mozzarella, sliced 1/4-inch thick
* Basic pizza dough, rolled out for 2 (12-inch) pizzas, recipe follows

And for back up, here is another reference from myrecipies.com

• 1 (10-ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust dough
• Cooking spray
• 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 1 garlic clove, halved
• 5 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced (about 3/4 pound)
• 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded fresh mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh basil
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

do you see fucking tomato sauce in there anywhere? NO! someone needs to go back to cooking school. thanks!

28/365: Dog park

I had off today so I cleaned the entire apartment and took cy to the dog park. Here he is after the park waiting to come out of the car. He always has that sad pathetic face like I am going to forget to get him out or something.
