Hmm, that reminds me.  Last time I went to my Dad's one of the neighbors gave us like a bazillion egg rolls they made.  Those were pretty delicious.

[RedKing]

Homemade egg rolls are made of win. I've tried once or twice myself, but mine are made of laowai (foreigner) fail. They taste okay, but structurally it's less like an eggroll and more like a lumpy Chinese burrito. I can do a mean fried rice though. And I keep wanting to try my hand at mapo doufu but I'm too lazy to get all the ingredients together.

ArmA II WOOOOOORKSSSS!!!!!

Haven't even gotten around to starting to download it, wanting to get STO fully patched before I start.

Woo artsy synth-pop.

Found some kind person who uploaded the entirety of the French musical of Dracula--featuring our own lovely Coat in the titular role--on Youtube.

This is really quite exciting.  Much like NDdP, it seems like a fairly steep departure from the original novel in terms of themes and composition, but like it'll be pretty good.  Not too sure about the apparent nerfing of Dracula's character, but... well, the rest of the performance is strong enough that I might have to live with it =/

Well, hopefully it'll be good.

French musical of Dracula....
That....I'm not sure which I'm hoping for more...that it'll be a sublime masterpiece of pathos and character exploration, or that i'll be a camp-fest of the highest order (I'm thinking Cannibal: The Musical as a template.)


In other happy, slightly WTF news, the People's Republic of China is combatting rising food prices by tapping into their strategic pork reserve.
This is not an Onion article. They actually have a strategic pork reserve. Now, America must act decisively or else we may be facing a deliciousness gap.

I return home after five days.

However, as I was coming home my Dad tells me that the family reunion is going to be coming up in a couple of days for the weekend and he wants me to come.  It's also in Maine because you know French Canadian.  He says it's going to be awesome.

It's like, all of these opportunities present themselves and I don't even have to do anything.  Well, the only thing I have to do is accept these invitations but I mean come on I can do that or else I would never improve!

So, I'll be going to Maine probably Thursday until roughly Sunday or Monday?  Ah whatever that's life.

Although, as I try to enjoy myself I still need to keep myself in check.  I still need a driver's license, I still need a bank account, I still need to do college shit, and most importantly I still need to keep growing up as a successful adult.  I don't know how this will pan out but I knew I couldn't reject my Dad's offer or else I would never change my situation at all, oi oi oi.

Generic Kroger brand poptarts: 99 cents.
Poptart poptarts: 3 dollars 17 cents.
Difference in taste and texture: none.

[ToonyMan]

Yeah I bought a box with a dozen generic poptarts and it was the best deal ever.  You have to toaster oven the damn things for the best result man.  Dozen as in 12 packets with 2 poptarts in each.

[blackmagechill]

I don't remember eating real poptarts in the last year. Careful though, there are some out there (at Aldi's mainly) that are crumbly and are the worst thing in the world when expecting the good generic.

So I got my bogus tragic case dismissed.

By decree of the Society of Dutch Mortar Operators, it is now nap time!

I would seriously like to see "play dead" as a strategic strategy in those days.  An enemy faction would stumble upon your completely defunct army and then when they approach to investigate this mass murder you jump up and ambush them!  Make sure to bite their ankles!

Bonus points if your military leader knows necromancy.

I think it's kind of both, seeing as the subtitle is "Between love and death" and, as far as I can tell, it's about the original count (Vlad Tepes III, i.e. Vlad the Impaler) being betrayed by his vampiric bride, becoming a vampire, and then being tricked into being locked away for 500 years by the girl in question.  Why?  I have no idea.  But anyway, he comes back, he's... angry for some reason, and then he falls in love with Mina Harker, the betrothed of Jonathan.

Yeah, I'm really not sure about this plot so far.  It doesn't help that part of it seems to be in Hungarian =/
