mhhhmmm

so tomorrow eric is going on a mini tour w/ his band. i decided to bake some cookies for them for the trip.


since most of the band is either veggie or vegan, i made vegan chocolate chip cookies!











so tasty!!!


here's the recipe:

2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp cinnamon (optional)
1/2 cup oil (canola or sunflower)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup cold water or soy milk

chocolate chips (just eyeball the amount, add more if it seems there aren't enough per cookie, if you have too many you'll just have extras in the bowl later)

preheat oven to 350 degrees
mix all ingredients together in the order specified (add the chocolate chips after the other ingredients are mixed) and then roll balls of cookies and flatten them onto a pan.


i cooked them for about 8 minutes, but my oven is hotter than most...so i'd keep a keen eye on the first batch until you are sure about your oven.

*i used soy milk and the cinnamon= SOOO GOOOOD!!!!

it's staring....

all i have to say is....watch out!!

"Similar to a scare originally found in Cambodia back in 2005, victims of a new strain of the swine flu virus H1N1 have been reported in London.

After death, this virus is able to restart the heart of it’s victim for up to two hours after the initial demise of the person where the individual behaves in extremely violent ways from what is believe to be a combination of brain damage and a chemical released into blood during “resurrection.” "

"The Netherlands confirms its first case of zombie swine flu, in a three-year-old boy recently returned from Mexico. After passing away early this morning, he rose from the dead and lunged at his mother."

check out the whole article here. i'm not making this stuff up.

call me paranoid.....

okay. i'm not done with my zombie news.

i'm convinced that there are zombies now. the world is going to end.

but it's because the signs are here.

1. a pandemic/outbreak - swine flu - how it all starts
World Health Org. Update:
28 April 2009
Swine influenza - update 4

28 April 2009--The situation continues to evolve rapidly. As of 19:15 GMT, 28 April 2009, seven countries have officially reported cases of swine influenza A/H1N1 infection. The United States Government has reported 64 laboratory confirmed human cases, with no deaths. Mexico has reported 26 confirmed human cases of infection including seven deaths.

The following countries have reported laboratory confirmed cases with no deaths - Canada (6), New Zealand (3), the United Kingdom (2), Israel (2) and Spain (2).

Further information on the situation will be available on the WHO website on a regular basis.

WHO advises no restriction of regular travel or closure of borders. It is considered prudent for people who are ill to delay international travel and for people developing symptoms following international travel to seek medical attention, in line with guidance from national authorities.

There is also no risk of infection from this virus from consumption of well-cooked pork and pork products. Individuals are advised to wash hands thoroughly with soap and water on a regular basis and should seek medical attention if they develop any symptoms of influenza-like illness.

i've complied other info, but it's slightly morbid. and i don't feel right about posting it.


watch out. and get ready.

nightmares.

so this morning i woke up from the most horrible nightmare.

i don't get scared by much. especially in movies. but i am terrified of zombies. for real. i find them to be more realistic then most horror film ideas. it could happen. it will happen. some day a big military attack or development will result in us all dying. from zombies.

so there i was. in a field. children all around me. i am running. at full speed. (and i really don't do that) yelling at them to get inside. then i suddenly realize that they are chasing me. i get into this rather large 1970's style church. all brown and burnt orange in colour. i rush up the stairs and out the window to the roof. which was like a tower, with weird circular forms. i keep climbing. the tower starts to fall. it lands on the building next to it. it was as if i planned that to happen. i rush inside. down the stairs. i'm in the hallway. the glass patio door is ajar. i lock it. i grab some blankets and start to head to the shelter in the basement where my teenage son (named alex ??? i know. strange) is hiding. but as i grab a blanket, i realize it was keeping the door shut. (would a blanket really keep zombies out??) i try to close the door. i see them. they are coming towards me. i run to the door to the shelter. there is a window. i see alex. if he opens the door we might not be able to close it in time. they are closer. almost at my heels.


i wake up.

seriously.

i sat up straight in my bed. for about 10 minutes to calm down. i felt as if i was in that situation. my heart was racing. RACING. then i look around my room. i decide i live in the worst place for a zombie attack. seriously. i decided i needed to move.

no i'm not going to move. but really. i need to sort out a plan. just in case.

ok so i strayed on this blog. i think i want to make it more topical.
so i'm going to try to get updates once a week. we'll see on how this progresses.

i wish i had more control over everything...

i just don't get it.
don't you think if you were going to move in with the new one, you'd at least already gotten rid of common-law? i think so. and tried in any way to ensure that you no longer have ties with the other? yeah me too. and isn't it a bad idea to move in with someone you've already cheated on at least once? i think so. good life ahead.

i want my stuff already. i'm tired of not having my worldly belongings with me. tired of you benefiting from my things. tired of not being able to go and get them. tired of empty promises and offers. you're a shit person, and i'm pretty sure you always were. i just never noticed. rose coloured glasses i'm pretty sure were the death of us.
thank god they broke.

well.. what is going on?
i'm not even sure. life has a way of just breezing by. already the weather is warming up. (although we do still get wicked cold spells) i'm in the last 5 weeks of school. and it's intense. not in an uncontrollable way, but in well, a way that i'm not used to. in all honesty, i loved my undergrad. it was so interesting to me, and learning it wasn't so bad. even when i complained, i still liked what and how i was learning. in this program, it's very different. i'm not a business person, yet i'm entering in a very professional business field. what am i thinking?? although, i do love this field. i feel it was the right decision, i think i am just a lot more grateful for the fact that i was able to get a degree in something i really did truly love to learn about.


side note:
i did attend my first 'metal' show. hilarious. mostly because i was in business casual attire from a previous engagement....business casual and market punks...what a combination.

time is moving. so fast it seems. and i need to start to work on a co-op. this shall be an adventure. i'm hoping that i will be able to return to afghanistan for my placement. it would be awesome, not just the position, but the fact that i would make so much money. after talking to so many of the previous semester students, majority are unpaid, and most students still don't have placements and they are starting to work in may. so if i can start now and possibly secure a paying co-op. scores for me.

my life would be right on track. it's been awhile since i've thought that.
