Manga Update

• K - Stray Dog Story
• Each chapter in this manga is a separate story about Kuroh's adventures as he looked for the Colorless King.  

• K - Memory of Red
• Obviously if you've read or watched K you know that is manga is about the clan HOMRA and their stories.  The newest members of HOMRA are introduced so you get to learn a bit more about the clan's background.  I do like these stories a little more than Stray Dog Story but both are worth reading, the art alone is fantastic.  I just love the artist's style.

Delicious Shortbread Recipe

Preparation Time...15 minutes

Cook Time...35- 40 minutes

Ingredients...

• 2 coups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar (confectioner's sugar)
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 4 tablespoons white sugar

Directions...

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
• In a large bowl (can be done in a medium bowl but I used a large one, it's less messier when mixing ingredients) stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and powdered sugar.  
• Stir in the butter, almond and vanilla extracts, and mix until a stiff dough forms (don't be worried if it doesn't hold together immediately, if you want you can add a little bit of milk to speed up the process).  
• Pat dough into a 9-inch round cake pan.  Prick well with a fork.  
• Sprinkle white sugar over the top.  
• Bake until golden brown or for 35 minutes.
• Cut into pizza slices while warm, cool on a wire rack.

Note: The number of servings depends of how thin you cut the slices you should have at least 10.

ID

I finally went and got my ID card and it is the worst picture I have ever taken in my entire life.  >_<

Couldn't someone have told me my hair looked like a birds nest?

Video Shorts

This little movie is too cute, though I wonder why they decided to not draw in the tail after the first scene...

I will never look at a Scarecrow the same way again...

This was just funny, I don't know why it doesn't have as many views as the two previous shorts, because the animation and colors are well done...

Do No Harm - Canceled

I find myself extremely disappointed and pissed off tonight.  I just found out that Do No Harm has been canceled after only two episodes.  TWO FREAKAN EPISODES!!  This was my new favorite TV show!  I have never liked NBC before and now I doubt I'll ever bother watching it again.

Manga Update

I'm currently reading several manga but haven't done a "manga update" recently because none of them are new.  In fact, I was off manga for a while.  Sorry for the wait!

• Junjou Drop
• I'm 100% certain I've read this before but since is is a favorite I reread just to get back into the groove.  Very cute story, I can hardly wait for more.

• The Wild Kingdom
• The only reason I read this was because I thought there might me a werewolf in it, I was disappointed.  Though a very childish story I didn't mind reading it.  Was way better than suffering through an episode of Wild Cats or whatever that stupid anime is called.

Finches In The Flock

Yesterday, I went out and got a pair of finches.  They're so cute, even if they wake up at an ungodly hour and jabber way.  Alas, Henry is jealous.  He actually bit me!  Not a hard but a bite nonetheless.  That's  not all either, every time I pass by his cage or change his food/water he fluffs up his head feathers and tries again.  My first impulse is to give him more attention, but it occurred to me that won't work out well in the long run (not because I don't have time, but he would soon realize biting = attention).  So I'm at a loss.  *sigh*

Note that this small cage is only until I help build them a bigger one.

Death Is Only The Begining

I've started to watch The Crow (TV show).  It's not a new show and the first few episodes are unbelievably cheesy but I find I rather enjoy watching it.  I have one major issue though, in the beginning Eric was referred to as "Crow" later the detective guy suddenly starts calling him "Raven".  I don't know why but for some reason it bugs me to no end.   In any case, The Crow is a good show and if you haven't yet watched it (and like action and drama) then I highly recommend giving it a shot.

On another note, I found a song that I think goes really well with the series...
 

Paperman

Well, I was told I'd cry when I watched this short clip, but I didn't.  However, after watching Hachiko Monogatari this morning it would take a lot to make me cry again.  It was sweet though.  (You can watch the full version on Hulu)

Believe in the Impossible

Yesterday I watched the most recent Narnia movie, childish I know but I can't help but love them. And how anyone can go through life without believing in magic is beyond me.  I just don't get the movies though.  For instance, Eustace was turned into a beautiful golden dragon and all he could think about was how to turn back, how to get home.  Why would you want to?
