Dance Fridays: Part Dos
This is a second take from Thurday's routine. As a whole, we were a lot sharper this time around; and the moves changed slightly, since Ryan tightened up the choreo for Friday's class. It looks really hot! |

I got all excited when I heard there was a new Shakira song called "She Wolf" that was all about shapeshifting and such... then I listened to it... and now I'm not excited anymore. |

Pasta bento, yummy
 This was my boyfriend's bento last night. It's a macaroni grill box dinner that you can get in the grocery store, all you have to do is add chicken breast. It's the tomato basil kind. He also got frozen berries (look at those things, they had to be used) and shredded red cabbage and carrot. We get bags of it to mix in with our salad mix at work but we don't, so it just gets thrown away. So, as long as I remember to, I'm gonna save them and use them in bento <3 There's carrot flowers and balsamic vinaigrette in the bottle. That's not a checkered apple; it's a pear! the room mate's parents gave us a huge bag of them, but the only problem is that no one is really a fan of pears...so I tricked him into a bite and he had to finish it up. He better start liking them, there's still a huge bag left... Current Mood:  calm |

Hmmm...
I'm in that weird headspace where Ｉfeel like I have nothing interesting to say that's been going on. Sure, I could go into more detail and find small things, but they seem kind of mundane. I guess that's what life here is like - mundane. I'm missing Australia, but at least my creative brain has switched back on, after lying disturbingly dormant for who knows how long. Suddenly, there are ideas for photo shoots back in my head. I'm glad we've gotten us a 500 GB harddrive, so I can finally clear my bloody camera and USB stick. The external HD that dad gave me for Christmas died after the second use, apart from the fact that it was held together by duct tape and had only 20-odd Gig. Yeah. Totally adequate for someone who obsessively takes photos. I'll have to see about getting the information off it and stored somewhere safer. As it is, I'll probably get my own external HD, and let Sundance clutter up his own as much as he likes. It'll just get messy if we mix our photos together, I think. But yes, having some space on my memory cards is a good start. I've also just become aware of the little things again that I want to photograph, whether it might be a rusty external stairwell, a handful of marbles, the sous chef, or a droplet of maple syrup hanging off the jug. It's all sparking off those colourful explosions of creativity in my brain, and I am looking forward to actually doing something with it. Might see if I can get studio access around here sometime, it's been too damn long. I seem to be getting a reasonable amount of shifts at work at the moment, which is nice. I'm actually working a split shift today, and this coming week I've got six shifts... yoikes! Might have to see if I can wrangle something around that, as I'd rather not miss salsa. It's still pretty fun, we've moved on to learning some Cuban moves. :-) I really need to get myself some flats for dancing sometime though, because the heels tire out my ankles after a while, and I start to lose my balance really easily. :-( For now, my work shoes will do, but it'd be nice to have some nice ballet flats or something to wear when going out to dance, and save the heels for special occasions. 74 days until we leave Canada. Current Mood:  okay |

Sandwich Bento
 I posted recently about how to fit a whole sandwich without too much waste in a bento, so that I could make bento that would suit tastes more conventional than those in my household where onigiri are the fashion. This is a sandwich bento I made using a sandwich cutter I found in the grocery store. It's not as cute as the ones that are made to make several shapes out of the single sandwich, and frankly I could have done just as well with a knife, but it still fits in the bento with enough sides that it's a decent, filling meal. That's all I really wanted to find out if I could do. That particular sandwich is a ham and cheese with lettuce and mustard, but it would work great with a PBJ. And being able to make a PBJ with something cute like this was my goal all along, so as to addict my nephews to bento ( And then I shall rule the world, BWHAHAHAH!) I freely confess that sandwiches aren't my favorite thing in a bento 1, but the option for variety is important, I think. If you're gonna be making bento, lots of different kinds of meals make it more fun. I'm also doing this because I've been lugging these huge bags of sandwiches and chips to get mushed on the beach for over 20 years 2. Nine of these little boxes will fit in one good-sized tote bag and beach lunches will be cuter, more nutritious and easier on me across the hot sand.
1Part of the fun for me is Asian food I can eat with chopsticks, and an excuse to eat onirigi. 2I'm not quite sure how it happened, maybe because I was the oldest grandchild, but I've been in charge of lunch at family Beach Week since the beginning of time, it seems. I should be sensible and dump it on my tween and teenager, shouldn't I? |

Quick bento for Pokemon
Since it's summer, I've not had too many opportunities to pack a bento for lunch (obviously) so I'm doing it for my lunches at the local Pokemon TCG league on saturdays, rather than walk to the Chinese place like I used to (tasty as their hot and sour soup is). Here's the one I packed for today.  Triscuits, cheddar quesadilla wedges, and grapes Current Mood:  hungry |
