It’s Over!

Well, the game has been submitted to Nintendo over the weekend. I was on call the entire weekend starting on Friday. Woohoo! :D

The sucky part is that I threw out my back on Saturday night so all enjoyment for Sunday and Monday went out the window with that. Poop.

Is It Finally Over?

After weeks and months of crunching, I think it’s finally over. Well, it’s not officially over until Nintendo approves the game, but I think it’s pretty darn close.

I’m on call this weekend, starting with today. Four days of being lazy! Sweet, huh?

What wasn’t sweet was the fact that I had no A/C. The heat wave of the week rarely touched me and I had no clue as to how hot it was. Now I do. It’s hot. Bleh. I woke up after my short nap at around 3 PM to hear my G5 making a huge noise as it tried to keep cool. Shut my desktop down so it won’t cook itself to death and abandoned room.

I spent the rest of the day in the living room on my Macbook. Finished a book, too. I’m not sure if I’m going to buy book 2 in the series. It wasn’t a bad book. Enjoyable, but slightly predictable. I bought it only because the author of the book was there.

Tomorrow I’m going down to UC Irvine to practice with the band for their gig on Sunday. I believe there is a free admission to Disneyland involved, too. Fun. :)

Cakey Cookies

Why??? WHY??? My cookies have been coming up rather cakey recently. I don’t know why. I googled for answers. Some of the answers were too much baking soda (possible, the ink numbers rubbed off my measuring spoons), not enough sugar, too much beating of eggs and butter, and on and on.

Ugh, I’m so frustrated. I wasn’t sure what I was baking before as I’ve never made those particular cookies before. But now, now I’m sure the cookies are off. They don’t taste horrible. Just cakey. I want chewy. GRRRR. Tomorrow after work. Buying more ingredients. Attempt again on Friday night. Butter is a go. Need C&H brand white sugar. And new measuring spoons.

Poop

I made fudge cookies. They looked like poop while I was making them. They taste like chocolate cookies though. Very rich. Took the good batch to work. The first batch didn’t come out quite right. Kinda gritty. Second batch came out fine. Next round might be black-and-white cookies.

Didn’t get around to see 17 Again this weekend. Sadness.

Drama??

My dad thinks my mom is working the graveyard shift right now. She came home at around 7 AM this morning, slept till the afternoon, and then left the house again at 9 PM. No mentions of her new schedule. Like everything is hunky dory normal.

NOT NORMAL.

Information. News. Something. Urgh.

Upset. Irked.

Don’t care.

Lemon Chocolate Chip Buttons

It’s been a while since I baked some cookies. I remember the last time I brought cookies to work was when I was still on RvB… I think… I made short bread cookies and ginger bread cookies with frosting, punched into various shapes. Yum. :9

Also, I had a crap load of butter that was going to go bad if I didn’t do something about it.

This time I made lemon chocolate chip buttons from the Mrs Fields cookie cookbook. Most of the ingredients I used were organic or Whole Foods-y. It came out well, except for the 2nd batch. I overcooked it and had to throw it away. It was gross. :(

I also started making my lunch for the week, but I’m going to have to finish in the morning as it’s already past midnight. :(
