Justin Bieber makes me cry, too.

This is a few months old, and you may have seen it already, but I just saw it in its entirety for the first time not too long ago. Fucking hilarious. I can't embed it, but here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTCm8tdHkfI

If everything goes right, I'm hoping to do a parody of it with my friend...currently trying to write a script of sorts. :D

:D

Alrighty, so I'm gonna put off finishing up my English paper for just a few minutes cause I feel like writing a blog entry real quick. Oh, just in case you're wondering, my English assignment is to take one of the plays we've read in class this semester (it's a Shakespeare class) and describe, in 5-6 pages, how we would adapt it into a different genre. So I'm taking Othello and placing it into the context of Feudal Japan. It's supposed to be double spaced, but I think I'm going to see if I can get away with 2.5 space...Do you think the teacher will notice? Hmm.

The other thing I wanted to mention was the success of the meal I cooked earlier tonight, haha. I decided I wanted to try cooking something Korean, so I found a recipe online for something called "bulgogi" (lit. "fire meat"). you take soy sauce, sugar, white onions, green onions, pepper, sesame oil, and garlic, and mix them together in a bowl. then, you take thinly sliced strips of beef sirloin and put them into the bowl, and marinate it in the fridge for several hours. then, you put some sesame oil in a frying pan and fry it up. then, you take a piece of red leaf lettuce, put some meat in it, along with some "ssam jang" (which is soybean paste, red chili paste, garlic, green onions, red chilis for added spice, and a little sesame oil all mixed together) dabbed on top of it, then you fold the leaf together all nice and then stuff it in your mouth. And it's freaking DELICIOUS. My mom had some, and I could tell that she was surprised by how good it was. She kept coming back for seconds and thirds, lol. She told me she didn't think that putting meat like that together with lettuce would taste so good, but it did. I told her that I thought if it was regular lettuce, then it probably wouldn't have, since most lettuce is very watery, but the read leaf lettuce isn't watery like most lettuce is. Anyways, I just wanted to brag about how happy I am that it turned out to tasty. I've got a lot of leftover meat and lettuce, so I'm going to make some more ssam jang tomorrow and eat it for lunch. :D

OK, I'm gonna get back to my paper now. I have less than a page to go (going by 2.5 spacing, anyways, haha)! Wish me luck on it, maybe I'll actually get to sleep for an hour or two ^_^;


EDIT: Nope. No sleep :'(

I don't really have anything interesting to say.

I just thought I'd announce it.

...Actually, I do have a funny story to tell. In Japanese class, we're starting a new chapter, on "shopping." Today was the first day we started it, and Sensei was showing us a bunch of pictures of different stores, so we could learn the names of the stores in Japanese. Well, he got the the picture of the kusuri-ya (drugstore/pharmacy), and I thought to myself that it would be really funny if, upon closer inspection of the photo, you could see condoms in it. 2 seconds later, Sensei flips the photo around to look at it, and says "Wow...in all my years of teaching this, I've never noticed THIS before...Everybody look closely, what does this say?" Sticking out from one of the shelves was a sign that said, in Katakana (Engrish, if you will) "kondaamu." If there was any doubt that I was psychically gifted before, there sure as heck isn't now! hurr hurr! >_<

And that, everyone, was the highlight of my day.
