There are lines in the carpet moving from josh's bedroom to the front door. Lines that indicate the passage of something relatively large, with casters. Like a computer chair, perhaps? Is it possible he's moving out?

Leftover Tech

I made stock from the chicken carcass last night (augmented with a $5.00 pack of chicken wings for extra flavor and meat) and made...

Peanut soup!

I used:

a pot of chicken stock
one onion, diced
one carrot, cut into half-moons
one red bell pepper, diced
1 tbl tumeric
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp red chili flakes
1/2 tsp ginger
1 can chickpeas, drained
1 28 oz can diced tomatoes (with juice)
1 cup rice (mixed wild rice and brown rice)
1/2 cup fresh chopped parsley and cilantro
1/2 - 3/4 cup peanut butter
1 tbl lemon juice
leftover chicken meat and meat from the wings

heat stock, add onion, carrot, pepper, tomatoes, spices, chickpeas and rice, cook till rice and veggies are both tender. add chicken, cillantro/parsley, lemon juice, and peanut butter. simmer until smooth.

This could easily be made vegetarian with vegetable stock and some eggplant.

I used the leftover tzatziki to make:

greek-style tuna salad!

2 cans drained tuna
1/4 - 1/2 cup tzatziki
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp chopped fresh dill
1/4 red bell pepper, chopped fine
7-8 kalamata olives, chopped.
a few spoonfuls of chopped onion

Put it in a bowl and mix it all up. For drier salad, use less tzatziki, for wetter, use more. Serve in a whole wheat pita with shredded romaine and low-fat feta cheese. Lunch!

OMG, Breaking Bad, SO GOOD. SUCH A GOOD SHOW.

OMFG, I think I just got Hatted!

I'm not sure if it was a hatbot or some different kind of poser relay bot, but it was cool.

The Conversation:

[23:16] IconicSalmon: Hi.
[23:29] RavenChic: hi?
[23:29] IconicSalmon: Hi?
[23:30] RavenChic: Oh, god.
[23:30] IconicSalmon: ?
[23:30] RavenChic: do I know you?
[23:30] IconicSalmon: I don't know.
[23:30] RavenChic: Then why are you messaging me?
[23:30] IconicSalmon: You messaged me
[23:30] RavenChic: no, no I didn't.
[23:31] IconicSalmon: Yes, yes you did
[23:31] RavenChic: I got a message from you that said "Hi"
[23:31] IconicSalmon: Well, that's weird, because I sure didn't send one
[23:31] RavenChic: [23:16] IconicSalmon: Hi.
[23:31] RavenChic: There it is.
[23:32] IconicSalmon: IconicSalmon (2:31:33 AM): hi? (xxxxxxx) (2:31:46 AM): Hi?
[23:32] IconicSalmon: That's the first thing I saw
[23:32] RavenChic: that's not even my screenname.
[23:33] IconicSalmon: ....yes it is.
[23:33] RavenChic: Nope.
[23:33] RavenChic: [23:32] RavenChic: that's not even my screenname.
[23:33] RavenChic: That's my screenname.
[23:33] IconicSalmon: .....That makes no sense, though
[23:33] RavenChic: :::shrug:::
[23:34] RavenChic: I have no reason to lie about something like that.
[23:34] IconicSalmon: I just see "IconicSalmon"
[23:34] RavenChic: That's what I see as your name.
[23:34] IconicSalmon: So either you're just messing with a random stranger on AIM, or AIM is royally glitching or something
[23:35] IconicSalmon: (xxxxxxx) is my screenname
[23:35] RavenChic: [23:35] IconicSalmon: (xxxxxxx) is my screenname
[23:35] RavenChic: Weird!
[23:36] IconicSalmon: What's even weirder is the timestamp
[23:36] IconicSalmon: I'm pretty sure AIM doesn't do military time. Which means you must be typing it in.
[23:37] RavenChic: I'm on Trillian
[23:37] RavenChic: Trillian does military time.
[23:37] IconicSalmon: Hm
[23:37] IconicSalmon: Well, I'm on AIM
[23:37] RavenChic: I know.
[23:38] IconicSalmon: Well, I defintiely can't explain how this conversation got started

So I googled "IconicSalmon" and got this: clicky. I got the term "Hatmaster" from there and googled it, and got this LJ Community. I thought this might be interesting to some of my friends.

LOL!
