Sesame chicken. NOM.

Fast Work Day

02-17-14

Sometimes it's just nice when the work day goes by really quickly. Before I knew it, the day was over. Probably should have stopped to smell the roses (or chloroform in my case), but it was still a good day.

Kami Con Day 3

02-16-14

Today was the last day of Kami Con, but it was a great day. I made so many friends and was actually able to stop and talk to people since it wasn't super crowded like yesterday. 

Also I got a very nice photo taken of my cosplay by a guy named Chase Lawrence. The shot turned out amazing. 

Also met this other assassin who turned out to be on staff. He showed me around and helped me skip a long line. Props Kevin. You the man. 

Fantastic con. I can't wait to make more cosplays and go to more cons. I got the bug now!

Kami Con Day 2

02-15-14

Today was Kami Con Day 2. I wore my female Assassin's Creed cosplay, and when I walked in the lobby, I was almost immediately stopped for photos. Such a great feeling when people were telling me how great my costume looked. Very rewarding feeling when people like something that you designed. 

I also saw so many great cosplays and met a bunch of super nice people. Also the rave was tonight, and it was pretty fun. I love dancing!

Valentine's Day and Luna/Draco shipping

02-14-14

Today is Valentine's Day. I received these.

<3 So pretty!! Thank you Andrew. :]

Today was also the first day of Kami Con. I dressed as a casual Luna Lovegood. There was a Draco Malfoy. I SHIP THEM

He was in the black suit and everything. Perfect Draco. 

Also I had a great first day at the con! So much fun! Belly dancing and an in-character dating game. Fabulous.

It snowed yesterday. 

Two of my coworkers decided to sled down a hill. I have a video, don't worry.

Bunny Snuggles

02-12-14

A lot of my days are going to be about Blackberry. He's the best bunny. Today we snuggled. And he ran around my room. He likes that.

He looks terrified, but he's actually just really happy.

Chocolate Cake

Today was a weird day. Between coming in late because of potential "ice" on the roads and trying to catch up from missing a day of work, I was just a little off today. Then I was told there was cake. It was delicious.

And chocolatey.

Jury Duty

01-10-14

Today I had jury duty. But it turned out that they had like no cases. So just by being there and essentially doing nothing, it counted as my jury duty, and I can't be summoned for three years. BEST JURY DUTY EVER.

Chinaman

Had a great afternoon seeing off my friend Matt back to China.

We all got coffee and then snuggled on the couch.

HAVE FUN GOING BACK TO CHINA

Elder Scrolls Online! And more!

01-08-14

Today was an exciting day. I got to play The Elder Scrolls Online beta today. I love Elder Scrolls, and this was essentially the games in MMO form. Looting and crafting and quests galore.

Meet Xerthina, the Wood Elf. She even has Uggs. So me.

I also got this little Legolas in the mail from a sweet guy who knows me just too well haha. 

I also had a great day with my friend Courtney. We were imitating some kids who were taking a picture like this. We really wouldn't have posed like this normally. I don't think. Well maybe.

Great day.

ALL THE COFFEE!

02-07-14

I two days ago I ordered 80 Keurig K-Cups off of amazon with my fingers crossed that I liked the "San Francisco Bay French Roast" flavor. They were also 97% biodegradable, which I'm all about being green. 

Today I received them. The first impression I got from them is that they smelled amazing and looked adorable.

It's just a little baggie of deliciousness.

Popped it in my Keurig and BAM amazing coffee. And for 37.5¢ a cup, that's pretty sweet.

Walking Dead

02-06-14

I started the Walking Dead yesterday not knowing if I'd like it or if I'd hate it. I hate zombies, and I don't do well with scary or suspenseful things. But it turns out that today I've decided I like the show.

I like the Asian guy and the crossbow guy.

Granted, I'm only like five episodes in, but that's more than I thought I'd watch. I could only handle two episodes of Breaking Bad.

But hooray for me enjoying a show I didn't think I'd like. And hooray for me getting sucked into another tv series...

Firefly

So I finished the one and only season of Firefly today. Nathan Fillion, I will miss you and your young self.

How handsome.

I haven't watched Serenity yet, but I'm sure I will.

Bachelorette slumber party

It's also a slumber party. Just like old times! :]

Best. Rootbeer. EVER.

Virgil's Rootbeer. All natural. No preservatives. And amazingly delicious. I discovered this brand while at Whole Foods, and I can never go back to regular rootbeer again. They use actual ingredients and spices, like licorice, cinnamon, clove, wintergreen, molasses, nutmeg, etc. to make the most delicious tasting soft drink known to my taste buds.

They also make natural cola, which tastes great as well. 

Thanks Virgil,

<3 Christine

Hummus Melts

I made these amazing hummus melts today for lunch. Toasted English muffin, topped with my avocado hummus, sautéed spinach, and Parmesan cheese. Then broiled in my toaster oven until the cheese was bubbly and crispy.

Amazing.

If only all meals were this easy and delicious. (And healthy!)

Avocado Hummus

I've been craving avocado and hummus lately. So I found a recipe for avocado hummus. I knew my food processor would pay off one day.

SO GOOD.

Now I can make ALL THE HUMMUS. But remind me to put less garlic in next time.
