i did have a story!

so silly silly me. i got so excited in my last entry about my integration stuff getting figured out that i forgot to tell the story of something that happened on the deerhoof night. something that was rather odd.
so were walking down the street in downtown vancouver and there was a sign in front of a house that said "life for sale- everything must go. see this 101 year old house before it's destroyed. come inside" something like that.
rob thought it was a good idea to go inside. i thought it seemed like the beginning of a horror movie.
but we survived.
yeah, that was a really great story. i'm sure that you are glad that you waited for that.

oh here's another great story, it's called kelsey and Jason try to make cinnamon buns.
so JASON was in charge of the bread like thing for the buns. and it was taking really quite long to rise...
when trying to roll them there was massive sticking to the counter. so there was lots and lots of flour used.
and then the butter was rather difficult to spread. so yeah, there is lots of that too. at anyrate, this is what the buns looked like before putting them in the oven. i was rather hopeful about what they were going to look like in the end. i envisioned big fluffy yum yum buns.

this is what they end up like. they smelt really good. and they were pretty tasty right out of the oven. but then they got all hard and stuff. instead of buns i call them pucks. but they do make an alright chaser to a shot of tequila.



so there has been some kitchen adventures in the life of kelsey. and increasing my "pink stuff" consumption (that's rose wine to you!) that's been fun. and knitting adventures and getting really excited with the ladies at the knitting store about a pair of socks. and planning my christmas knitting. i figure if i start knitting now then someone might actually get a christmas present.

and i write this from montreal. i have left the land of spring to the land of winter. and i had a very wonderful surprise yesterday when i ran into no-other than laura perry on the street corner on my way to cindy's for some stitching and bitching. YEAH!

and tonight there will be poutine. yum yum yum

the stuff and the things

something ever so exciting has just happened!!! for the last, oh MONTH and MORE i've been fighting with this silly silly integration program problem. should of been simple, just go to NR and get the subroutine, yeah. simple.
and the princess is ever so slow.
but some playing with things has made it finally WORK!
it was an issue with the NR subroutine i took. GAH! silly me trusting that.

AT ANYRATE!
there is fireball machine at the Pit, i FINALLY talked tyron into trying the good stuff that comes out of it. i didn't think that it would be so hard to talk him into it.... but just like programming sometimes things take some effort.
it was pretty fun. fireball. from a machine. it has a button that says "press here". Wo0T! it has the same effect as putting fireball in the fridge, but recall: button.

AND there was some MUSIC! saw Deerhoof on friday night avec rob. super fun. had a friendship opportunity. if you listen to the deerhoof you might be laughing right now. or perhaps just chuckling... super fun!

i saw the latest version of pride and Prejudice. got to say, not much beats the A&E version. but it's good when you don't exactly have 6 hours to devot to a movie.

i was knitting a shawl. i found out that i THINK i dropped a stitch, i don't know what i did, but it doesn't look all that nice. now i'm forced to tink (you know knit backwards.. oh ha ha ha i'm on fire tonight!) not all that fun, but i will be much happier with the finished product.

and i'm thinking there may be some vancouver poutine in my near future. it will get me warmed up for when i return to montreal.

oh! and there have been socks finished. i just have to take the pictures...
and did you see the new interweave? some very fun socks in there!
