Day 047 / 365 - Spaghetti Dinner & A Movie

#047

I unintentionally fell asleep again before I could post this picture.  Lol.  It happens quite often.  Anywho, I spent a good portion of the day doing website work.  Peter called and asked if I could cook some spaghetti for dinner.  I've never cooked spaghetti before, lol.  BUT  I did it anyway.  We had some leftover Prego sauce in the fridge and a can of diced tomatoes.  I also chopped up some onions (OMG this was the worst!) that made me tear up sooo bad that I was cutting the onions with my eyes closed.  I pretty much did want to cry.  Lol.  I added some bay leaves, salt, pepper, brown sugar, & ground beef.  For the pasta, I added butter & salt.  It was a little sweet, but altogether the spaghetti was a success! Add some Texas Toast garlic bread to that and everything comes together.  I love garlic bread!

After dinner we watched "Twilight" since Peter bought the DVD for me the night prior.  We were not impressed.  Lol.  WTF.  The actors/actresses were horrible.  The special effects were crappy.  The lines were overly cheesy as hell (or maybe the actors sucked on that as well?) and the plot was lackluster.  The movie wasn't bad, but I wouldn't say that it deserved all the hype.  Kinda like Slumdog Millionaire.  WAY TOO OVER HYPED.  I know that the following movies will fill-in the gaps from this first movie, but my standards/expectations will definitely be lower in the next films.  Perhaps I will be impressed then?  Maybe the books will be better.. I need to get on that.

Day 046 / 365 - New Pair Of Jeans

#046

I did some website work today and watched the last episode of "Boys Over Flowers."  It's done, finished, fin.... SAD!  The last 2 episodes were pretty weak though compared to all the previous ones.  I find that a lot of Korean drama shows have lack-luster endings.  I still loved the series a lot though.  Hopefully Kim Hyun Joong will act in another series sometime soon :)

I got really bored as late afternoon approached.  I've been pretty productive lately and find that I've been getting bored quicker after I'm done with what I'm doing.  I need to start finding things to occupy myself.  A part-time job maybe?  Yes, I definitely need another one.  In the meantime, Peter & I went to the mall tonight in search for... who knows what since I told him I was really bored.  I ended up buying a new pair of jeans from PacSun for $9.99.  Gotta love them deals!  Peter bought some jeans & a hoodie for himself too.  The photo above was taken while I was sitting, waiting for Peter in Zumiez.  After that we had some Chinese food for dinner & got 1/2 off pizza.  The lady asked me if I was Chinese, lol.  The last time, the guy that works there asked me if I was, Thai.  Still waiting for that 'mainlander' to correctly guess my ethnicity.  Haha.

We then made our way to Wal*mart to get some things.  Peter bought me the Twilight DVD.  I thought it was funny since all the DVDs were behind a glass case & I had to get it behind the register and pay for it there too.  Peter finally got an iron and an ironing board.  He also bought some nice plates for Sushi 1 for really cheap!  Ok, time to play some Call of Duty 4.

Day 011 / 365 - IHOP & Street Fighter IV

#011

Peter & I took advantage of FREE pancake day at IHOP today. I had a photo of that, but I think there would be an overload of food images here. Lol.  So here is another photo... STREET FIGHTER IV!

I had a $50 gift card to GameStop that I won last week and Peter kept whining about wanting a new game to play.  SO, we traded gift cards (he has a $50 one for a mall) and got Street Fighter For for XBOX.  After trading in a game, taxes, and the gift card, we only had to pay $3.60 out of pocket which isn't too shabby for a brand new game.  If it were me, I would wait till it went on sale of course, but boys just love instant gratification.  Time to get good and kick some boys' asses!

P.S.

Before I forget, before the video game purchas, I bought "The Dark Knight" on DVD for $10.  I got the girl at Best Buy to pricematch Target's price.  At first she was like, "It's selling for $14.99 on their website right now, so I can only give you that price." and I told her, "Really?  Their Ad said $10.  Check their weekly ad, it's on their website."  She found what I was talking about so I was able to buy the movie with my Best Buy gift card.  I have over $100s worth of gift cards, so I buy random things here and there from them.  Haha.  I  never watched The Dark Knight before, so I'm hoping it lives up to the hype!
