I Loathe:
- being bored and having nothing to do. I need some inspiration, and it's not hitting me yet.
- not being able to go on a trip somewhere. There's just no way we can afford to go somewhere if we're going to take a two-week vacation to Japan next April. We have to save up for it, plus make sure all bills will be covered while we are gone. At least we will be going to Maui for a weekend, which is something.
- Sick fuckers.
- Voggy weather. It comes and goes. Yesterday was nice and clear. Today isn't as clear, but Saturday was THE WORST. In fact, I have photos and video of it. Post those later.
- looking for a recipe and finding nothing that is easy to work with. I just want a sun-dried tomato marinara... anyone have a simple recipe out there? the one that popped up first asks specifically for Trader Joe's sun-dried roma tomatoes. I can't get that here.
- knowing there are lots of things I hate, but not knowing what to post. I guess I don't hate them very strongly.
- people. now there's one I can count on!
I Love:
- having friends over at my place. I cooked hamburger curry on Thursday night and invited my friends to join me. They brought salad and rice (my rice pot is small, so I didn't want to have to cook three times in order to make sure there was enough rice for everyone.
- new family members. no, I'm not talking about being pregnant (not planning on that one for a year or two or more). I'm planning on adopting a kitten. There's a foster home for kitties down the street from where I live, and there's a cute little calico there.
The foster lady calls her Boo Boo. I don't know if I will keep the name or not.
- gray weather. I don't like the voggy weather, but I like when the sun isn't out to burn me to death. it gets way too hot when the sun is out.
- having a really tasty lunch. I went to eat at Koto Restaurant in Waipahu, for some handmade udon. I'll post more about this one later.
- making shopping lists. it definitely helps me remember everything that I need to pick up. gonna need new cat items, especially.
- finding new items to purchase on eBay. My newest thing? I want to buy a Kyocera ceramic kitchen knife. I'm researching which one to get first. If I want the really nice one, I have to save up some moolah for it.
- placing an order from ThinkGeek.com, which should be arriving tomorrow. Yay fun things!

Aw..the kitty kat's cute.
I'm surprised you guys had rice to eat with your curry. I've been going to Costco for the past 3 days and they still haven't gotten any rice shipment yet. WTF?! I seen some at Walmart, but I don't want to pay $7 for a 2 pound bag.
I don't cook rice at home very often, so I have a small bag in my freezer. I also have a small bag of brown rice in my freezer. That should last me 'til this stupid shortage passes.
