So I tried this sweet and sour chow mein stuff made by Simply Asia. It has the easiest cooking instructions ever, ever ever, forever. As long as you can open little packages of things without accidentally biting your tongue while attempting to open the hundreds (okay there's just three but it felt like a hundred) of little seasoning/sauce packets with your mouth instead of just walking to the bathroom cabinet and grabbing a scissor like an intelligent, logical human being. Anyway the instructions are basically: open thingie, open other thingie inside the first thingie that has pasta in it, open thousands of packets and pour them into thingie now holding pasta, microwave for two minutes. That's right. Two minutes. Two minutes of your life is all you have to wait to enjoy your meal (excluding the hours of time it takes to open the millions of little packets). Then there's ANOTHER PACKET. HOMAGAWD. But there are just sesame seeds in it so it's not a big deal or anything.
After my preperation-ing ordeal, I discovered something. It tasted awful. It came with these noodles they called "Authentic Asian noodles," which were spaghetti noodles but maybe they were made out of rice or something and that makes them "Authentic Asian." Get it? Because rice is from Asia. I don't know how labels and advertising works, I didn't see an asterisk anywhere after that phrase so maybe it just meant they were made in China, like everything in America, and were thus Asian. That makes perfect sense! But it was a complete waste of my dwindling cash supply. $3.50 could have purchased half of an order of Plain Chow Mein from my favorite wok & grill in town, the Phoenix. Mmm.. So delicious. Unlike this sweet and sour chow mein crap in a box that I purchased earlier. No offense to the people who make it, but my taste buds hated it. Not like I'm worried that the recipe designer-person is going to discover my blog and read my review and cry his or herself to sleep, because that's crazy, but it needed to be said.
And I got a Wii! ... Plus Twilight Princess. (Squee!)

Random Thoughts Tend to Float Around in My Head...
Raspberry Brisk tastes awful.
I've done a lot of shopping in the last two weeks, which is kind of sad because I now have repairs needed on my car totaling $750-ish. It was my great grandmother's car before she passed away, and I got it as a graduation present from my great grandfather. Since then, though, it's become a sort of money pit. Not that I'm complaining, if not for that car I wouldn't have had any way to get around the last two years.
I wish I had some watermelon right now. I freaking love watermelon.
I'm so excited to start playing WoW. It won't be for a couple months, but I've planned out my characters and everything! All I have left is to choose names, and I'm ridiculously picky. I was warned that there's a very high chance that any name I think of will be taken, so I'm getting super creative and tapping into my inner artistic powers to make up the most amazing fantasy names I've ever made! Plus I learned that you can use special characters, so I'm almost certain I'll be able to use my names! ^^ Though my name obsession has driven me to a crazy list-frenzy strewn across my bedroom floor and Word files on my computer.
...But I think my brain is starting to fizzle.
Aside from shopping and trying not to die in my death-trap car, I've been reading Fruits Basket! I'm up to book eight, but that's all they have at the library in town, so I'm going to look online for the rest of the volumes. In the mean time, I should probably do some exercises to even out my abnormally large intake of pasta and cheese. HA! Like that'll work.
