batskeetsMovie Jibba-jabba! Tonight, James and myself are thinking of hitting the buck-fifty theater and seeing Stepford Wives at 7:25, so if you want to join up, say the word. I eventually want to see Hero, too, because Jet Li has crazy wushu skills, and I've found that I like him better in his native tongue.
Well, yesterday just evaporated without my noticing. ^^; I'm *SO* glad it's Friday, and that's mainly because I'll get to sleep late tomorrow morning. Sleep has been elusive this week; Whenever I get into a nice, deep sleep, something wakes me up pretty much without fail.
I made a pretty awesome stir-fry last night, with a ginger, garlic, and green onion flavor base, plus a bit of low-sodium soy sauce. It was very tasty, but now my fingers stink of raw garlic and ginger, and no amount of hand-washing will get rid of it. Yep, doing great over here. :p I also had to peel the carrots with a knife, because I couldn't find the vegetable peeler, and it was a pain in the ass. I'm sure the pioneers got by just fine without these newfangled vegetable peelers, but me? Not so much.
Oh, and I cut my finger in the process, too. James has noted previously that I appear to be terribly uncomfortable with really big knives, and I have to agree. If I'm ever trying to attack you with a huge meat cleaver or a 10-inch knife, you can rest assured that I'm about as likely to take off one of my own limbs as I am to take off one of yours. (and yet, jianshu [straightsword] doesn't seem to bother me) What I really need is one of these friendly, medium-sized Santoku knives. Yeah, $108 is painful, but Alton Brown does know from good equipment.
God, it's almost September. When did that happen?
