Well, I last wrote about my candy exchange. I sent her the package on the 7th and she hasn’t received it nor have I received my package of candy which she sent the week prior. She said it should have been delivered on Thursday or Friday but since it’s Easter weekend I know it’s going to be late…if it comes at all. I’ve already made a second package out filled with Peeps and other various Easter candies for a family in Manchester, England. That will be shipped out next Saturday. I’m also making a package for my best friend. He’ll be my last package until winter due to how hot it is.
The weather needs to stop being a slut and just give it up already. I’m tired of all this Spring weather and then Winter is like “just kidding bro” and it snows or something like that.
ugh
I don’t know. I wanted to spill my guts on this one about how and what I’m so upset about right now but it isn’t appropriate and would just start surpluflulous drama.
I’m making my brother an administrator on my site. Tang-yaroo is going to transition into a nondescrimitory gender blog. I want everyone, if they want, to be able to blog, not just women.
Once I’ll get my package I’ll blog again.
I told my brother he could do guest writing. He typed this out on his typewriter about his weekend here with me. I’m blind and can’t read it because it’s not dark enough.
In the late 80′s and early 90′s there was this huge dance craze called The Lambada… I keep saying it in my head with a Latin-y accent even though it’s Portiguies. Anyway, a big dance craze which was basically people having sex with clothes on generated soundtracks and movies.
I want to stop right here and just advise you that my incoherent rambling are heavily influenced by Nyquil, that Tussin, and liquid Mucinex. I feel like shit, straight up.
Due to my ailment I’ve been sleeping and watching TV all day. I came across the movie Lambada on Netflix. Now I had, or thought I had, heard about this movie but I was wrong. There’s also a movie called The Forbidden Dance which is also about the Lambada but it’s being done to save the rain forest. Anyway, I decided to blog the top 5 things I learned from Lambada.
5. This movie has an actor named Shabba Doo in it. No, I’m not kidding.
4. People in the early 90′s thought the Single White Female hair cut, shoulder pads, and “mom” jeans were stylish.
3. Janet Leveson from the Office was a little hot for teacher Jezebel in this movie. Uncomfortable.
2. Get yo’ education boo boo.
1. This movie had nothing to do with the Lambada.
I feel like I want the two hours I just wasted watching that movie back.
You know when you can’t sleep and you start to watch videos on YouTube or end up clicking tags on tumblr? Maybe this is just me, however, about a month ago I stumbled upon this video:
Which then lead me to this video:
I had already purchased a ton of Japanese Kitkat bars and pocky before I saw that video, but this prompted me to find these Popin’ Cookin’ kits. I purchased two of them off a store from eBay. I’d link you but I have no idea what my eBay infomation is but I have liked their page on Facebook which links you to their store.
Any how, I purchased two kits from the store. The sushi shop one and the bento box one. I haven’t made the bento box one but I did make the sushi one at work on Thursday. I wouldn’t say I’d ever purchase it again but it was super fun. Per the video you mix the color coded packages with water in the correct area and magic happens. It all tasted very sweet and flavorless. The faux sticky rice did taste like something called Ramune. She says it’s like lemon lime Sweet Tarts. I’d say grape Sweet Tarts and JuicyFruit mixed. It isn’t something that is tolerant in my taste pallet and the texture was def a turn off. I’m glad I bought it but I don’t think I’d do it again.
I just realized I can’t post pictures of the finished product becasue there are customers numbers written on the pad of paper in the backround and I’m not savy enough to photoshop them out. Sorry loves.
I also purchased several Japanese KitKat bars. They were super crazy in terms of my standards. I had strawberry, tea, green tea, cheesecake, vanilla ice cream, bitter chocolate, chili infused chocolate- my favorite, purple potato, wasabi, and some candied bean thing. I was not a fan of it. I passed them out at work for Valentines day. I think my co-workers enjoyed them.
I’m trying to get a candy swap going with my friend in the Netherlands. I hope this works out. I’d love to write and show you guys if it happens.
It kind of bums me out that cassette tapes reign over the music world is over. I like the nostalgic feel of it. Unfortunately, cassette tapes are obsolete. Actually, CD’s are getting to be that way as well. Any how, a solution to this would be found at ThinkGeek.com. It’s a USB that looks like a cassette tape.
I originally saw this on a different website. My little sister is wanting to make a mixed tape for her boyfriend for their 1st anniversary. I think it’s really neat. I don’t have a significant other or any sort of romantic interest at the moment but if I did I think I’d order this and make them a mixed tape. I think gifts that are personal mean more than flowers and candy.
The songs that I’d put on a mix tape really would depend on the person, but I composed a list of generic love songs today at work.
Here they are:
So that’s basically a guideline. I’d keep going but I think I’d post all of YouTube on there.
If you guys have any suggestions on what would make a good mix tape song feel free to post it in the comments! I love hearing what other people like to listen to!
I’ve been seeing this list float around on Pinterest.com of the 10 Books Every Girl Should Read in her Twenties. I decided to check it out and it was literally crap. I have no interest in reading books by Jane Austen, Confessions of a Shopaholic, or that one dude who wrote The Notebook. I actually don’t know if the last one was on the list because I stopped reading it after I saw Pride and Prejudiced on there. I’m sure it’s a really great book, if you’re into that kind of crappy sappy lovey dovey type stuff, but it is not for me. So I’ve decided to list some of my favorite books. These are the books that have literally stuck with me and I can still tell you every detail in them. Some of them are children’s books but they are a must read, in my opinion. Also, after you read what I write down if you want to add any books that you think I may be interested in feel free to comment them down below!
