Ride The Tiger


That’s not permitted here

It has come to my attention that reading books about vampires makes me sick. Literally. My sinuses are all stuffed up, my head hurts, I’m so terribly sleepy, and I sound like I’ve been smoking since the beginning of time. And this is only Day One of the illness.

Why vampire stories? I tried to be logical and reason it out through other means, but now I’m left to this one theory. A couple summers ago, my sister suggested that I read The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. I got less than 30 pages into it before my throat ached something fierce. So I set it down, thought nothing of it and went to bed early. That sore throat was the beginning of a two week long head cold. Fever, chills, body aches, drowsiness, puking. Later that same summer I picked up the book again, read a little more and soon came down with a lesser, though still undesirable, cold.

Two days ago I started reading Interview With The Vampire. Halfway through work yesterday I began feeling all sorts of terrible, and surprise surprise, I wake up this morning to a head full of snot.

I think this is the universe’s way of telling me something but I have no idea what. Any guesses? I will not let bounded pages get the best of me.

Oh Buffy, where are youuuu?

Make Babies? Yes Plz.

My Baby-Making Top Ten (in no particular order):

1. Tyler Durden
Photobucket
Mmmmm, Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, it doesn’t matter which one. If it were up to me, it’d be both. At the same time. And then some one-on-one with each. And so on.

2. Adrien Brody
Photobucket
I’m a fan of the nose. It’s got character, he’s so classy, and sexy, and dark-haired. What a beautiful smile :3

3. Steven Hyde
Photobucket
He’s scruffy, he’s not that pretty, but he’s pure 70’s and the loveable stoner of any girl’s dreams. But I’d love for him to keep the sunglasses on.

4. (New) Spock
Photobucket
Holy shit. Being Vulcan has never been so hot. I’d get sexy in space with Spock anyyyy day.

5. Robert Downey Jr.
Photobucket
He’s a reformed bad boy with kick-ass humor. When did I realize my affection for him? A Scanner Darkly. And that wasn’t even completely human-like.

6. Ashton Kutcher
Photobucket
I fell under the pretty spell of Ashton after those Nikon commercials first came out, and now most of my “awhhh” moments during That 70’s Show are reserved for this adorable knucklehead.

7. Michael Cera
Photobucket
Because I like indie boys, and the odd ones, and the pale dudes, and the curly-headed-ness. Michael Cera is the perfect present is the most darling wrapping.

8. Seth Rogen
Photobucket
So. Fucking. Hilarious.
He’s probably the most compatible for me out of everyone on this list. He’s like a cuddly bear, you know, with a bong.

9. Dr. House
Photobucket
If I had an asshole sexy doctor with a cane, I’d go for as frequent of check-ups as my health insurance would allow. I get super jealous during the few kisses he shares throughout the series with co-stars. No joke.

10. Noah Calhoun
Photobucket
Because I’m a girl. All girls understand this.

Live Long And Prosper,
Dacoda.

I hate to admit that maybe these things aren’t the worst. Blame it on the weather, the holidays, the senioritis. I’m failing to function, I’m failing to care. Logic is faulty and fuzzy, and everything is a snap decision. I’m reverting and giving in. Nausea and insomnia up ahead.

Personal blogs suck,
I’d rather be fluttery.

I Love The Fishes

Don’t watch that video if you haven’t already. And if you have, I don’t think you’d even ever want to see it again and would prefer to completely block it from your memory. Fortunately, this post has nothing to do with weird Asian porn. Why incorporate the deceiving title? The Facebook app Happy Aquarium. I do indeed love these fish.
Photobucket

And I’m trying to think up a senior quote, and find my best baby picture. It’s hard when you were so odd-looking.

I’m doing Christmas shopping, and I do hope everyone will be nearly as excited to receive their gifts as I’m excited to gift them.

Happy Birthday Illinois,
Dacoda.

This guy in Ohio ate the note he showed the banker during a bank robbery that he was committing. Sounds lame and not very lolzy, but stfu and watch!

5 Plants and a Cake

I’ve always dreamed of having a green thumb, and I think gardening is a beautiful talent. My mother has flowerbeds all around our house and along the perimeter of our yard, and she lovingly cares for everything she grows in them. When I was younger I spent many days with her, side by side, knees in the dirt, planting bulbs and seeds and helping her weed out her flowerbeds. My grandpa, who lives next door, has even more flowerbeds and a garden in the back where he grows corn, carrots, green beans, squash, pumpkins, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, and zucchinis. He even has some Concord grapevines, and apple and plum trees. One day I hope to prove that this growing trait has been passed down to me, and plant some of these beauties:

1. Cherry Tree

2. An Herb Garden Menagerie

3. Marijuana

4. Olive Trees

5. White Oleanders

And I’d positively and forever love anyone who made me this cake for Nikon and I’s upcoming one-year anniversary :3
(make sure it says D40, not D700, we wouldn’t want him to feel inadequate!)

This isn’t a vegetarian-friendly post…

Apparently in the culinary realm, Americans are going through a prolonged phase of ‘bacon mania.’ That’s an actual term. Some cite that the allure of bacon is because in our diet-of-the-moment society, bacon is the bad boy with the leather jacket and big ass Harley who’s waiting for us underneath our bedroom windows late at night, while the sweet and darling Lettuce boy next door is offering his help on your calculus homework and rubbing elbows with your parents before he asks you to the prom. We want to be healthy and nice and give the lettuce a chance, but give us a strip of that wonderful 75% fat, 25% meat greasy bacon and we simply can’t resist. We’ll even cheat. Thanks to bacon bits, we can have the best of both worlds.

America loves bacon, and oh does bacon love America. The formerly reserved for breakfast food item has been pushing its boundaries and popping up wherever we’re willing to give it a shot, including…

1. Bacon Peanut Brittle

2. Bacon Macadamia Cinnamon Rolls
Photobucket

3. Bananas Wrapped In Bacon
Photobucket

4. Bacon And Cranberry Pinwheels

5. French Toast And Bacon Cupcakes

6. Bacon Ice Cream with Chocolate-Covered Bacon

7. Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies

and my personal favorite 8. Bacon Apple Pie
