adelamaide: forever-insatiable: reallykatie: I almost forgot - I found the easiest recipe this weekend for the most delicious autumn-y cupcakes EVER. You ready? 1 box spice cake mix 1 16-oz can of pumpkin THAT’S IT. I know, right? Mix those two ingredients together (you can add in nuts or chocolate chips if you’d like), then bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes. I totally Sandra Lee’d some frosting (tell NO ONE) 1 can whipped cream cheese frosting a heavy sprinkling of cinnamon Mix ‘em together, pipe on cooled cupcakes, et voila - the simplest, tastiest fall treats around. The cupcakes are super moist and just the perfect amount of spicy, and the cream cheese frosting (flecked with cinnamon, it looks homemade!) is the perfect complement. Seriously, make them tonight. They are so good. Plus, minus the frosting (I guess you couuuuuld leave it out, but why?) they are really pretty low in fat/calories! (this is not a picture of said cupcakes, but they came out looking exactly like this!) OH MY. I am totally making these on Sunday after apple picking or the pumpkin farm - I haven’t decided which I’d rather do this weekend! MUST TRY.

Tomorrow I get to go into the studio to work on a post-prod. exercise.  Should be fun, and should take less than the three hours last week’s assignment took. :) Now trying to decide if I should go help with the broadcast of the football game at the college radio station.  That would mean almost my whole day, after I wake up and get ready, is spent in a studio on campus.  But half of the football time I would be getting paid for.  (Minimum wage, but still better than nothing.)  But I would miss my new friend/neighbor’s BBQ if I did the station thing.  What would you do??  Help please! :) Thanks!

Oktoberfest (yes in Sept.) and Storms

Really, seriously, who schedules this sh!t?  Oh well, I keep hearing lovely thunder and I am just hoping for a nice thunder/lightning storm.  I did go to the fest to have my share of funnel cake, I didn’t have a beer, I’m not a huge fan, esp when it’s warm and not all that great in the first place.  But anyway…and I also saw a few friends so that was good.

In other news, I was woken up three times last night.  Twice by my brother and his friends, and then by my cat for her food at 6:30am and being let out. That Crap HAS to STOP!  Anyway so I guess I should really get math finished now so I can go upstairs and watch if the storm does hit. :)

sheasylvia: Um… You guys know that Wichita is in Kansas, right? More on the upcoming Tom Cruise/Cameron Diaz flick here. Well said Sheasylvia but just realize, these Hollywood types know nothing outside of LA, NYC and a few other select BIG cities. (If there are any others besides those two.) *rolling my eyes*

No Class Friday! :)

Gotta love Oktoberfest just for THAT reason! (Even if they can’t schedule it right and get it in OCTOBER.)  :)  Whatever I don’t care. I need a three day weekend, I’ll take what I can get.  Which means, crap, I better get my reading done soon so I can take the quiz and be caught up and take the test.

Next week is my big concert, so I’m excited for that, just hope I still feel I can skip math that day after I get my test back tomorrow. :P

In other news, brother got bored and went to Wal-Mart picked up a new game today.  Fine, but really, does he need the klipsch speakers that loud to play said game???

Night, my head hurts and I’m tired! (Hope he goes to bed soon, or at least turns off the speakers.)

This book has two covers.  I posted the one I like better. It took some effort but I finally found the cheapest place I could get it with the cover I want.  If I get the wrong cover, I’m sending it back and getting it for a little more $$$, but with the right cover.  I really hope it comes with the correct one so I can just start reading it!  I hope it gets here soon too, it looks VERY good!  (Even though I am already reading two books, on top of all my school-work and reading.)  Just check it out on Amazon or somewhere and see what you think.  ;)  I’m hoping that if this cover beats out the other in overall sales…someone in marketing/the media will take that as a sign!  :D

This is what I’m having right now…and about to lay on the bed and read a book, or a magazine.  I’m loving this.  I do have a little homework I could be working on, but after the last few weeks, I needed a free night.  Glad work was canceled.  Not for the paycheck so much, as the chance to relax a little. I so needed this.  And will need it again soon. :) Sorry I’ve been away from blogging, I seriously have had no time.  I haven’t even gotten to catch my favorite blogger so I’m now playing catch up before I go curl up with my book.   This is the perfect night for hot chocolate too.  As I asked my brother if he wanted some, since he had just gone out and commented, “When the hell did winter get here?!”, he acted like he was thinking real hard for a minute, then said yeah!  It’s cold and windy out there!  In fact, the temp in our “fair” “city” is 55! But with that harsh wind, I can assure you it feels a little colder.  Not going to reach 60 tomorrow, so I think it sounds like tomorrow is a hoody day! :)

Homework...not a fan.

OK, since school started I’ve felt like I’m drowning between work, school and homework.  I know, no excuses.  Ok so sorry…a song will be forthcoming soon. ;)  Could someone make the math stop? Please?  Let alone the hundreds of pages of reading for Public Policy, Law and Ethics in INT.  At least this week is interesting legal reading: The Howard Stern vs FCC case, George Carlin and the FCC, The Janet Fiasco, and a few other things. :)
