Just moved out

Still makes me a tad sad, I know I'm just getting a new apartment and all that at the end of the summer. But I grow attached to things too easily. Also, I'm sore as hell. But its probably a good thing.

Also, Ale needs to post soon about 'something something' ;) but I'll leave that to her.

Toodles

Not such a bad Monday

Remember those fuck ups?
Well, they're not so much a problem anymore.

Saw Pirates 4 today.
With Maha and her emo boyfriend. (is that rude?)(Ryan said it first) lol
The movie was good, i liked it.
Ryan thought it was just okay.


Also, Diego's party was pretty good. He and Ryan bonded. A lot. Too much. But all is well. : P I think he's the favorite brother now. lol

PIRATES arrgh

So Ryan and I have been busy catching up on the Pirates of the Carribbean series...

First Movie: Awesome.
Second Movie: Still Awesome.
Third Movie (where we left off today): me: "I.am.so.confused. I don't think I like this movie. "

That about sums it up.
Good thing i have Ryan to pester with questions during the movie.
Yeah, I'm that kinda person. :/
lol.

Can it be June already?

We'll keep you updated blog....

Ugh. Being home is something else

So i'm back at my house. (drove out at 5am yesterday to get here in time for my bro's graduation)

It's only been a day and I already feel stressed out.
This month is gonna suck. There's gonna be a party every weekend. Next week we're having one here for my oldest brother. And the weekend of my birthday we're having relatives over, coincidentally. Now, its not that I don't like these particular people, it's just that i don't like people coming over. I'm introverted. I suppose.
Not to mention today, my oldest brother is having a grad party at his mom's house. I want to be there for him, but I'm not gonna lie--its gonna be awkward.

In addition to my people problems, i've been fucking up. So far I've:
1. Scared away the baby birds that live(d) in our backyard. It was an accident. I was trying to take a picture. And my dad yelled at me. "They can't fly very well, now they're going to  be eaten by the neighbor's cats! Good Job Alessandra!"  :(    A NEW BIRD CAME. It's laying its egg. And now I know better :)
2. Broke the bedpost of my mom's bed. (10 minutes ago) I feel like crap. Its only a few months old. "God! You and your little brother can't let me have anything nice!"  : (   It was an accident! I was just leaning myself on it. If only i weighed 50 lbs. (jk guys)  FIXED IT. With some wood glue. WASSUP

Sigh. I guess I'll use this post to tally all the times I fuck up this summer. I can't help it, I'm a clutz. If only you knew me in Highschool. Boy i could write up a book of all the embarassing screw ups I had. Ryan can back me up on that. And he didn't even know me all of highschool!

Until the next fuck up,
 Alessandra

[EDITS ON MAY 23 in purple ]

The library

Why does everyone wear hoodies in the library? I feel like I'm in 8mile or something and I'm one insult away from a rap battle (*dramatization*)

Twould be awesome no doubt

Not doing that again...

Just got back from Gatti's. Decided to try it for the first time on a whim. I woulda cooked, but the beef was still frozen.
Upon entering, it all seems fine. til we hit the buffet. Super Crappy.
Worst 8 dollars we have ever spent on pizza.
The pizza slices were as long and wide as my pinky finger..
They didn't taste very good either. Sigh.

Not doing that again....

Now you all should know that I am a Cici's fan. (HOLLA)
Ryan is not. But i don't give a shit.
Cici's is where we're going next time.
That's whats up. : )

Video of the Day

The Shining

Last night we saw "The Shining" with Jack Nicholson. Now, i know, i know..it's a little late. This is one of those classic  movies that we should have definitely seen before we hit 20, but in Ryan's defense, he doesn't like scary movies, And in my defense, I saw clips of it here and there but it never caught my attention.

Ok enough of that.
The movie was really good.
We were a little confused towards the end, but IMDB says the ending is supposed to be ambiguous. So be it.
There were definitely some moments where I could not sit still because i was freaked out, and even Ryan was a little antsy. (Totally cute, I put my arm around him to calm him) ;P

Speaking of cute, the little boy in the movie was adorable. And really well spoken/good actor for his age.

No camera around...

So i've been on a cooking spree lately. Trying to use up all the stuff Ryan has so that  nothing will have to be thrown away or go bad.
In two days we've made
1. Mini Apple Pies with the one apple that's been sitting in his fridge...
2. Boneless Chicken Wings with 3 types of sauces (Garlic Parmesan- my favorite, Buffalo, and Sweet and Sour) http://blogchef.net/how-to-make-boneless-chicken-wings/*Caution: This link will cause you to have a foodgasm and drool over your keyboard
3. Homemade Pan Rolls http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Homemade-Pan-Rolls/Detail.aspx
4.  Garlic Breadsticks (my own recipe) Another attempt to use up the flour
5. Slow Cooked Steak with onions and mushrooms, with Mashed Potatoes (from the bag, no less)
6. Pancakes - to use up the pancake mix, but of course I "doctored it up" I'm not a fan of box mix pancakes.

While I am indeed making a mess of his kitchen, Ryan lovingly cleans up after me :)
And Sadly there was no camera around to document our eating adventures.... :/
Maybe next time...

The headphones

After searching thru the bowels of craigslist past the mail order brides and *medication that increases bloodflow*, I found a quite spectacular pair of headphones. As shown here:



The fine, non-rapist, young gentleman here came with only a limited number of headphones sadly


Indeed, upon first listen, it was like that scene in avatar where the blue sam worthington does that hair tentacle bonding thing with that flying lizard. Upon which they both experienced the wonders of flight, and bonded as one. Though I've yet to have weird blue people sex with Zoe Saldana in the mist of a glowing forest (yet). Of course nothing a prog rock album couldn't fix
Probably This one



Anyhoo, just figured it was worth an update

Anniversary Time Once More

31 months. Me and Ale commonly say that its still not enough time together. Even after all these months. I'm glad to report that it still isn't enough time together.

As for the rest of the week, its been pretty boring. We're in that final week before finals, so Ale has been busy, and since I had to regrettably drop a class, I've been quite bored under my light workload. (the dropped class was because I decided to switch back to my psyc major in the middle of my semester, making all the classes I was taking useless sadly) Anyways, I've just been chilling looking for new headphones since my lovely Koss Portapro's keep on dying and I'm tired of sending them off again and again (even with that lifetime warrenty). We will find my new audio soulmates soon enough I suspect with a little help of craigslist personal sections (strictly platonic I assure you).

As for the rest of the semester it should be fine. I have nothing to do next week til friday, which annoys me some what, as Ale will be back in Houston by then as I get two days off for 'studying' and she doesn't. As I said, its never enough time with the two of us.

Anyways, ta ta, I will update with headphone obviously (and see how well the beastie boys album is with them, but its hard to make their album sound bad)
