29th November, 2009. 6:42 pm. The Great Squash Dilemma So the last time I went home to visit the parents, I came back to town with two squash. One of these squash was, I kid you not, substantially larger than my fifteen-pound cat. The neighbors and I ate just the neck of the monstersquash in a huuuuuuge vat of soup... leaving over 3/4 of it left for future use. It's now occupying a sizable chunk of my freezer. I haven't even opened the second squash yet. I went home again for Thanksgiving. I came home with four more squash (three pumpkins and an acorn). Now my Christmas prayer goes like this: "Oh please oh please oh please, let there only be six squash coming back next time. Because I'm clearly caught in either an arithmetic or an exponential progression, and I am just not mentally prepared to deal with sixteen more squash..." Has anybody got any easy, low-fiddly non-dessert recipes for pumpkins/squash? Between low-carb and low-fat restrictions, pumpkin pies/breads/cakes are kind of out of the question, and I've made a bunch of soup and a bunch of curry and am trying to figure out what else to do that's mass-squash-using (ravioli's way too fiddly to use that much squash with, and my freezer would explode...)

29th November, 2009. 10:17 am. Howrse Pet game I play a few online pet games, and one of them Howrse has a reward system where sponsoring someone else into the game is part of the achievement process. So, if anyone would like to give it a try, use this link: http://www.howrse.com/?parrain=Buyaflower and it will credit me as your sponsor. To start with you get one horse or pony (your choice in the color or breed) and you raise, train, sell, compete and breed them. As you go along in the game you can open your own stable to board horses and hold various jobs. Or you can just register on Howrse, twiddle around for a day and then ignore it, it'll still give me the credit for a sponsored player. (you can only have one account, so if you already have one, don't jepordize your karma) Read 2 Notes -Make Notes

26th November, 2009. 7:04 am. I agreed to work tonight, Turkey night, even though it's my night off, because my co-worker's family is going out of town and my own family isn't celebrating until tomorrow which I told him he'd be working for me. In retrospect this may be a good thing, considering I've been watching the Bones marathon with my mother, and ended up having the creepiest, scariest dream last night. It haunted me past waking up. I was a young boy about fifteen, and my best friend was a photographer, and I was looking through some of his shots of the 'restoration' project going on, which had something to do with an school, a river bank, and a lot of flooding in the past, and the restoration included a lot of mud being taken out of the foundations and other stuff being thrown in. I saw bones. Skeletons. In the pictures. And looking into the project got me killed, because the head construction guys were the old students of the school, and had buried three kids down in the mud way back when. Then they shoved me in the mud and buried me. And because it was a dream I'm sitting there pointing at my sneakered feet asking people to just *look* at me and help me and the only people who can see me (besides the bad guys) are the souls of the three dead kids. And somehow I managed to pry myself away from the project site (which *hurt* enough I almost woke up) and start walking home, and as I do I pass my photographer friend and wave and he says hi to me like nothings wrong, right up until some girl shows up to tell him I've gone missing, and the only thing on my mind is getting into the shower to get the fucking mud off. Then I thankfully woke up with an irate cat wanting to be let outside. Point of the story? Don't watch creepy marathons before passing out!! Make Notes

24th November, 2009. 9:45 am. My body hates me right now It took a trip to Urgent Care last night to find out why it felt like I'd been punched in ther lower right back, was pukey, dizzy, and feeling like I had to pee but couldn't get anything out. I've got a kidney stone I'm trying to pass. So, I've got a perscription for an antibiotic (apparently I also have a slight kidney *infection*) and another for a Vicaden equivalent. I've also had to call off work today 'cause the symptoms hit hardest in the evening time, and I can't drive with them going on. At least not safely. *shakes head* I just hope I pass it before Thursday 'cause they're gonna *need* me Friday at work. Read 2 Notes -Make Notes
