good morning-- er, afternoon

Haven't reset my clocks yet. Not sure if that extra hour helped or not. I slept in so late that I don't think it matters much!

It is nice to see the sun shining, though. The forecast looks promising that it will continue for another day at least.

I'm still groggy headed enough to not quite yet be able to relay thoughts pertaining to the last couple of days. I have a few pictures to share as well.

Working on a strong cup of coffee right now, and need to go in search of food; well, something outside the choice of Halloween candy (someone dropped off a bag of candy at my door at some point yesterday-hmm, friend or foe?) or Hallowedding candy (I was encouraged to fill up a bag of candy before leaving the reception. That was fun). I don't know, what sounds good? Something I don't have to put effort into making would be a start.

Anyway, give me a couple of hours to "wake up" . Just wanted to pop in and say "hi" and see how all of you are doing.

so, how are you? :)

(e:matthew), how are you holding up? On the mend, I hope.

TMI

but I don't care.

and I won't get too much into it.

promise!

Trying to find a better price on "Instead" Soft Cups. Bought a bunch last year, kinda hard to find in a store, need to reorder again. So, checking out prices online.

what is it? well...
Basically a semi pliable ring with plastic that creates a cup to collect menstrual flow. Became a fan some time ago for completely self satisfying reasons. If you want to have sex without it looking like a bloody massacre, this is one way to have "clean" sex. (ok, couple of other reasons too, but this was huge bonus). No other product (Diva Cup, Moon Cup, The Keeper, etc) do that. So yeh, I'm not interested. Although, if I were looking for a more environmentally nice alternative, then those would be it.

I've mentioned somewhere here and there that I really enjoy reading product reviews. Now although I already know what this product is all about, I read through a bunch anyways. Then I ventured into reviews on the other brands (just to make nothing has changed, ya know, to be able to use them, uh hem, 'anytime'.)

Then I thought, well... they might be decent, practical and cheaper for any other time, so as not to pollute the earth with pads and tampons, right? So, onto more thorough look at some of the reviews. Namely, the Diva Cup.

Which the following review is what prompted me to write...

It is fucking hilarious, creative and (bloody) brilliant.

her other reviews on non related products have the same creative voice. If she is a writer somewhere, I need to know!

Anyway, I decided I'll pass on this product, and continue with what I know and like.

pesty ba$tards

I have mosquitoes in my house.

Just a few.. but enough to engage my cats interest and enough to make me wonder... "why aren't ya'll dead yet???"

but it is getting close to their demise one way or another.

Instead of zipping around alluding my death smacks, they are bobbing through the air like a Mylar balloon losing its helium.

Mosquito killing has been fruitful.

theecarey writes at 11:23:34 10/16/09 - Comment #52169: good grief.. much* guts not 'mush guts'. Though suppose that works too.

all other typos are not of my doing.

theecarey writes at 11:22:05 10/16/09 - Comment #52168: helpful* not "helful"

unless I meant, hellfull*

mwhuahahahhaahhahaha

theecarey writes at 11:21:07 10/16/09 - Comment #52167: let me try that link again, not that it is at all necessary-worth going to it.

:::link:::

theecarey writes at 11:20:00 10/16/09 - Comment #52166: ok, Tiny. Basement monster is staying in the basement. I do not need to trade one set of troubles for another. (eek!) If basement monster comes up, we are all doomed. Ok, at least I am.

(e:paul), if they aren't mosquitoes then I am not sure how I feel about being a fairy serial killer. Mush guts have been squashed tonight.

I plugged in a Google search for, "I killed a fairy, now what?" but sadly, nothing helful came up.

a more succinct search, "what happens if you kill a fairy?", was fruitful:

"Well , If you kill a Fairy , many stange things will happen , maybe even leading up to death. If heard that they will make you dissapear for ever or strange things to your body. Like for example , when you wake up at night and you get a BIG cramp in you legs? , this might be a fairy punishing you. Or when you wake up in the moring and there is BIG rats in your hair? that may be a fairy getting back at you for some thing."http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_happens_if_you_kill_a_fairy

Obviously very credible information.

;)

tinypliny writes at 11:05:02 10/16/09 - Comment #52165: OMG. You have the blood of the faerie on your hands! I can already hear the steady stealth of the eight legs crawling slowly towards you.

paul writes at 11:02:17 10/16/09 - Comment #52163: How are there mosquitos at this time of year. Maybe they are faeries?

disgust

I just watched someone sitting at a stoplight chuck their empty cigarette box out their window and onto the street.
they were driving a shiny cadillac escalade which seemed to add to my digust.

that is all.

energy of the night

Despite being tired, I was drawn to the outdoors yesterday evening. The cool air, wind and dark rolling clouds just intrigued me into a brisk walk. I sensed a strong energy to the air and felt like I would could walk forever. I didn't feel my body or the usual sensory information when hauling at a quick walking speed. Yet didn't feel disconnected from it. I felt like I was floating; connected to everything, felt like I could take on the world. That so much of what we know is.. so little to what there is. If that makes any sense.. words can't quite get at what I am thinking. Anyway, it is always a welcome experience, and I knew that I had to get out into the evening to embrace the feeling of the winds.

wish I could bottle it.

Took a few pictures too :)

I don't look for images in the clouds, but I just noticed the 'face". Do you see it?

Music to F#%K to?

There is really no other way to ask it, sooo

Suggestions?

Enigma always sounds a bit naughty.
It was once recommended to me to get some Portishead (any in particular?)
.. and Moby, "Inside" will be one for sure..

so let me have it!

Thanks ;)

theecarey writes at 05:02:11 09/30/09 - Comment #51799: great, thanks everyone! I found myself nodding in agreement on many of the suggestions.

Personally, I don't need anything; just a partner with an open mind, sense of adventure and enthusiasm. However, I want to create a specific experience and am contemplating what external elements would help me to achieve this.

My very creative mind is honing on on the details..

metalpeter writes at 07:45:08 09/29/09 - Comment #51763: (Its been so long that I have no idea, but if you haven't allready ridden him like a cow girl on a bull at a bar or if he hasn't done you like Halle' Berry in Monsters ball here are some that I think would work good song wise)

Rammstein - It is fast and heavy with a dance beat

Nine Inch Nails - That I wanna fuck you like an animal I want to feel you from the inside

Prodigy - Smack My Bitch up

Limp Bizkit - Rollin' , Faith and "Nookie"

That save a horse ride a cowboy song

Garth Brooks "I've got Friends in low places"

Metallica - So what

The Voo Doo Dolies? (lyrics go) "Shut Up and Fuck"

John Valby might be a funny mood setter

Drowing Pool -bodies "let the bodies hit the floor"

AC/DC - Big Balls or maybe back in Black

Aerosmith - love in an elevator
Maybe some DeathKlok

I will let (e:tinypliny) come up with the speed metal since I don't know any really. I wish I knew some newer bands but can't think of much else.
My point is anything that is rocking is good to bone to. Assuming boning is what you want and not mood.

If you like you music Dirty goo for some Luke or some 2 live crew.

I didn't mention things like Sade and romantic songs or power ballads because you didn't say romantic love you said to fuck to. I think you will need more songs though, because if it is good you will want to go again, maybe that is where you use the romantic stuff to get the dude to get into it and be your stud again, well I assume it is a guy and not two or not a couple, HA.

ajay writes at 04:50:24 09/29/09 - Comment #51760: Finally, a question right up my alley...

The short answer: it depends.

Is it slow, gentle and steamy? Try some Indian/Fusion-Indian stuff (Buddha Bar comes to mind; maybe Karsh Kale, Chebi Sabbah too). Throw in some candles and incense also, while you're at it.

On other occasions, down-tempo beats are good (Groove Salad; DI.FM ).

The question is: are you looking for rhythm, or ambiance? Sometimes it's nice to have a beat to which you both can synchronize to (sorta like salsa or tango). Other times, you just want the ambient noise.

I've never tried heavy metal so far. Hmm... something to experiment.

iriesara writes at 11:59:44 09/29/09 - Comment #51758: sade lovers live is always good.

etta james or nina simone for that matter.

jenks writes at 07:18:49 09/28/09 - Comment #51749: and i forget the name of the portishead album- but the dark blue one with "sour times' on it. Though they're probably all good. And for Tricky I like Maxinquaye.

jenks writes at 07:18:08 09/28/09 - Comment #51748: I vote Portishead too. And Tricky. I guess a lot of trance/trip hop stuff is good. Morcheeba maybe.

funny, I was just talking about that with the BF (ha, first time I've called him that publicly!) the other day and we both said Portishead instantly. not sure why, but... yeah.

joshua writes at 03:02:30 09/28/09 - Comment #51745: The music in my head. LOL!

lauren writes at 03:00:26 09/28/09 - Comment #51744: It really all depends on what type of f#%king you want to be doing. Portishead is good...I have the self-titled album and love it. I would also suggest Beth Orton if you're into that slow love making kinda f#%kin. I also find Erykah Badu to be pretty sexy. Maybe Tool? If it's the right Tool. No pun intended. ;)

beat up sweatshirt weather

Ooh such a nice day- what do we have, one or two days of "summer" left?

I'm wearing jeans, sweatshirt(old UB sweatshirt that has held up amazingly well) and sneakers- I get kind of excited to wear that combination. It is so comfortable and I feel like I am ready for anything. I'm definitely heading out the door in a minute to find somewhere to walk around. The sweatshirt might end up being a bit too much in that sun though..

not complaining :)

Then tonight I am heading out to Sterling Tavern (corner of Hertel and Sterling Ave). It is a bit out of the way for me, but its a nice dive to grab a really yummy burger and lots of fantastic beer. Time isn't confirmed as yet, but if in the area.. pop in!

Guinness Slushy Experiment

(generally cross posted to other sites)

8-20-09

typical summer evening temp inside my apartment.

I invited (e:pyrcedgrrl) to come along with me to visit family across the state (Esopus & Manhattan). As we were leaving early in the morning, she came and stayed the night before. It was a hot evening and I thought it to be the perfect opportunity to make an Mojito Slushy and get packing for the trip.

Slightly altered but essentially the same, In blender: Lime, Rum, Ice, Peppermint Syrup (for sweetness and extra mint taste) topped with club soda and mint sprigs.

So Yummy!

mmmmm it worked for the Mojito, what else can I make a shlushy out of. Peering into my fridge, my eyes land on some recently purchased beer. Laughing, I figure, 'why not?' And so I try experimenting in creating a "Guinness Slushy"

Fresh cold bottle of Guinness Extra Stout
