Oh my, lots of people I knew everyone but i was slightly apprehensive at 1st. As lots of people I just turn into a watcher & don't want to be in the way, lol a natural survival mode i seem to go in once in a while. But that soon subsided & i could just be me. Had a grand time & awesome food & it seems my black bean & corn & avocado dip went really well, got a few critiques which i appreciate as its the only way it can get better. Anyway thx you [info]celyddon it was awesome meet. will have to do it again.


Here is the recipe for the Black bean, corn & avocado dip I made

15oz can of goya black bean (drain & rinse heavily)
11oz can of mexicorn (drained)
10oz can of original rotel diced tomatoes with chilies (drained)
3 hass avocados (ripe, dark skin, slightly soft but not firm & NOT MUSHY)
1/2 a medium red onion (diced)
2 cloves of garlic (diced)
small hand full cilantro (small shreds, add more if you luv it like i do)
3 tbs lime juice (add 1 more tbs if needed)
1 tbs olive oil
2 tbs red wine vinegar
1 tsp black pepper
2 1/2 tsp kosher salt (once mixed, add more to preference)
1 tbs ground cumin (once mixed, add more as needed go crazy if ya like)
1 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (once mixed, add more as desired)

In a small bowl. Douse the avocados in lime juice & add only 1 tsp of kosher salt, then mash up well.
In a fairly large bowl mix all remaining ingredients & mix well with a spoon then add avocado mix as well as the remaining 1 1/2 tsp of kosher salt. Once mixed, taste & add more salt, cumin, cayenne or lime. all depends on personal preference

ok this was fun, & hard. I wanted to do this at oklacon but i was in fear it wouldn't work out so i waited to get home to do so.
& this was done from scratch NO PATTERN!



Oklacon wrap up
simple days
[info]glassferret

Well Oklacon was fun, I got better acquainted with some friends, met some new ones & put some faces to online names. Once again I have to laugh as I drive or fly so many miles to meet furs who live close to me that I didn’t know, lol one even lives in the same town as me! Lol I have a greater realization of Foxes comment about satellite furs. I also played in the poker tournament & got my butt waxed twice, but it was fun better luck next time. Enjoyed some beers, hug lots of awesome people, wanted to shoot one fur to put her out of her misery that she doesn’t know she was in. All in all it was fun wish it was warmer but that can’t be helped.


Fun at TRF
oh right
[info]glassferret


Not gonna give a full report, but I will do highlights. Drive was nice, in a way I found something nice about hybrids if you are bored you can make a game of getting the best mpg & wow time really did just fly by. Had a really unexpected run in w/ a couple that I am on questionable grounds with, it was no biggie except I was literally shaking afterwards. All was good enjoyed sound & fury as well as several other shows like always & realized I seemed antisocial at times as I have things to see & do & I will only wait around for so long, I’m a roamer! Afterwards I enjoyed my 1st time to spin fire poi at the bon fire, IT WAS AWESOME! I even got video of it just ask if your interested to see. I learned that the ground is hard to sleep on, & thx god I brought my grill as the other grill for the group feed had a problem. It was strange to watch celyddon cook spaghetti over charcoal, but hey it worked & on the last night I enjoyed staying up late talking w/ people, which later turned into nick & I looking at stars until it got way too cold.

 

In short did my usual, had a grand time, spun fire.  & i want to learn how to make my own fireworks & omg oklacon is here no time to decompress

another OMG its late project : victim: xbox 360 controller
Neon
[info]glassferret
Ok, this random I can't sleep but i need to do something project was spurred by the internet of course & my dislikement of my white xbox360 controller b/c it looks boring & i was bored. & now i can say "THAT IS MY CONTROLLER!"

It actually turned out well despite some common little mistakes & it still works like it did before, so it's all good
Also when i was masking it 4 a second color i still had not decided on what i want so i went for random, basically a ferrets best friend
Then i was like I"ll draw on it before clear coat thus the paw
& the "x" on the back isn't for xbox its for no batteries b/c i never use batteries in my controller the wire plug in works just fine
& my camera felt like leaving flash glares & since i haven't slept i don't care


Recommendations 4 anyone thinking about trying:
decide what you want to paint on it or have art skills before you start, thus you get weird & that's what i got, but i like it
don't worry about the sync button (i covered mine & didn't paint it b/c ya can't separate it & i was worried about paint build up)
paint for plastic works amazingly well & don't forget to clear coat it
masking is so important do it right or don't do it at all
Also it was not hard to disassemble or reassemble johnny five *cough* i mean the controller, the lower triggers take a little work to get out to paint but its very doable little to no skill needed

Wonderful days of bliss
simple days
[info]glassferret

I haven’t really been up to much in the last month, but I have been busy & enjoying life. I spent sometime with some friends playing some old games with & living through some very jumpy moments in horror survival that I’m sure is very amusing to watch me jump. I have greatly enjoyed texting a new friend who I feel a lot of connection with as we seem to see things in a very similar way & is a spectacular person. I have taken pleasure in cuddling with most, light petting with others & heavy petting with a few. & mas <3 to all of those who are willing to teach me new things. As well as the lovely lunch & dinner engagements with those who are very busy & don’t have as much time as they once had. I have had a grand time at the last few parties in the last month I have gone to even in the late when some needed care to make the night. I have liked the time I spend with those several groups that I watch anime with.

 

For all the times I didn’t feel like I fit in or all the times I felt lonely & to all the times that I was unsure of where my life is going. All of you help me forget this foolish thinking & remind me that it is a wonderful life & I really wouldn’t change much to consider life perfect.

 

Now I have several things planned in the upcoming weeks & it will be a blast. I luv going out with people & even if I have no real interest in what we are doing I can always find something interesting, but my real focus is being with you my friends.

 

Thank You to all who are in my Life


la la la, huh? beer yes i like beer
oh right
[info]glassferret

Wonderful day had sushi with a friend & later that night went to Addison Oktoberfest w/ some other furs. Who knew being a furry would get me free beer at Oktoberfest! Yes it was supremely awesome & it wasn’t a fur who got us the beer, hurray beer!

 

So off topic, Don’t try to describe what we are by explaining what we are not, but to add to that don’t lump us all in with you, k thx also refer to "Presenting the Furry Fandom to the Public" at AC check the youtube

 

Ok I’m late but I’m going to say it anyway. *back hands Tyra Banks* yes it was bad form for those furs to do so as well, but honestly I watched the clip & not a huge deal I have seen worse concept wise.

 

Wait, wait was it furry kanye? *furry kanye:” I’m really happy for you, I’m gonna let you finish, but MTV sex2k was one of the worst media related pieces of all time“*

 

k…didn’t ask, Anyway bad press happens get over it & don’t be that fur who got caught on tape, k thx


still decompressing, inglorious bastards, & anger
oh right
[info]glassferret

rah being home still feels weird, yet I have been really cheerful all day. I also have talked to several friends that I have been missing.
I also saw inglorious bastards & FREAKING LUVED the craziness of the film
Then when I got home i got my face scrapped by low tree branches, it sucks being tall at an apt complex that doesn't maintain the tree line. So i took care of them! also it turned into an indecent with a very rude courtesy officer but i wasn't gonna back down, i got hit in the face 4 the last time by those branches & I will be filing a complaint against him in the morning. Nothing will happen but I refuse to back down on something I have complained about a month ago, & I didn't hurt the trees I just did proper pruning for the walkway




back home from MFM
oh right
[info]glassferret

Ok this is the 1st small con that i have gone to in a long time only to remember why i love jumbo cons. BUT! I also learned the reason for small cons & why they are important. Don't get me wrong I do think i will attend next year so that's saying something, but many things about the con bothered me, but awesomeness of furs also occurred. It seems people have more time & willingness to meet new people & give attention to them.

So anyway to keep it short had a good time will do it again
& super <3 to all those who i met
 


Just glad to be home
oh right
[info]glassferret
Oh I have been down south doing some work for family, though i did get to watch TRF rehearsal fights & walked around TRF grounds & took some pictures that i could never get before with all the insane people running around. As for all that i have plenty of $ in my pocket again. yawn... thx god to be back in my own bed again... but for only so long as MFM is soon

Productive moments
oh right
[info]glassferret
Last few days I got a bit done on my race car which i have been taking a hiatus from, but when i thought i was out i feel as if i have been pulled back in. In case ya don't know this is a car I have been working on for some time its a 1983 Mazda Rx7 w/ a 302 V8 mustang motor that I swapped in it. Lets see I mounted the radiator, radiator hoses mocked up, heater bypass lines ran, alternator mount kit on & sized up a v-belt, trans cooler mounted & lines ran, front suspension all buttoned up, cooling fans mounted. heh its kind of nice sitting there thinking if i finish up a few other things that i might be ready to start up the dang thing. Oh that will be a wonderful day!

To see pics of car click here assuming ya care )Also after watching Rescue Me w/ my rents ( i can't wait 4 season finale next week ) I went home to the apt & got a silly idea to put sound in the kitchen. So now my kitchen has an independent surround sound! lol i know kind of odd but now i can cook & listen to whats on the tv.


New things going down
oh right
[info]glassferret
Hmm I have new pillows & insanely soft sheets on my bed & Thursday I plan to break them in w/ a friend, oh it will be fun. I found a great story I think I'm gonna try & reenact as it was a very sinful read that sounds like a fun plan to attempt.

As for other things I am doing well I have bounced back, thx to some good friends & I got a plan to make some new poi, this time I'm gonna use some advice & try some quick connect 360* spinners, also I am gonna make the ends look like little fox heads. Thus i am gonna need to brush up on some plush toy making so i can make some decent heads but they will still be very simple. They won't be done for mfm unless i find some spare time but afterwords i plan to get right on that

Well I didn't see that coming
Neon
[info]glassferret
Ya know I just don't understand some people: some hold grudges long beyond rational thought, some who don't even know you will judge you from stories that they heard 2nd hand & others string you along only to get rid of ya as you serve no purpose anymore. I have to say for humanity I would like to think we have become more civilized, but as far as I can see, it looks just as dark as it did yesterday and the day before that.

In a way I want to join them and say hurtful things back or seek vengeance, but it wouldn't solve anything. What was said & done can not be taken back or resolved by such ill manners. Feelings are hurt & those how stand in judgment of me hold no ground. So I will continue to have fun in my life paying no attention to those who wish to drag me down.

Random babble

[info]glassferret

Well I went to go see “funny people” & once again I saw a movie that got me thinking again about what’s really important to me in life. & … wow I had a million positive & negative things fly through my head & I got a little bit dramatic with myself but it turns out I’m actually ok. I would like to get more attention from people, but since I have been fairly conservative I figure that should be an expected issue, which I need to break that habit soon & NEED TO DO OR MAKE SOMETHING MEMORABLE!

Anyway off to sleep & brainstorm 4 now


its 5am WHY AM I WET ! ? ! ?
meh
[info]glassferret
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH>>>>>>>>>>>>>...............
.
SO its raining outside & I am having a wonderful dream where A little white fox is playing in a sweetish field & then I wake up, "gee its raining hard out there" I think to myself & as I roll over I am suddenly greeted by the worse thought ever in a bed WHY AM I WET?!?!

So apparently there is a leak in our roof & it perfectly located over my bed! GRRRRRrrrr I'm never gonna get back to sleep now.....

CHIHUAHUA RACES ! ! ! Aug 8th

Well its over! I feel cheery again now that my birthday passed
oh right
[info]glassferret

Its crazy but I knew I was gonna be depressed on my birthday this year & I was, but I had a nice little life intervention to remind myself all in reality was well & that I was being utterly ridiculous. TY to all those who sent Hugs & MSGs & know I am back to a chipper mood & I think it will likely last till December (the month that always SUXS!).


Oh it’s raining again
GlassFerret
[info]glassferret

I look into the mirror & I see it is raining again, but not a cloud can be seen from the outside. Sometime I wonder where it comes from, yet I see no cure for the unwilling to openly express. I’ll just put on my happy umbrella & step out into the sun, as I don’t want others to see the rain inside myself.


Well I’m starting a new routine
Neon
[info]glassferret

We will see how long this lasts but for the last few mornings I have been waking up at 5:30am which is insane 4 me! & every time I have decided I am gonna get coffee so I have been walking to a decent gas station, which it feels good to get out & get about 40min of exercise & I get COFFEE! So for myself I am gonna try and continue this as a morning tradition. Heck I don’t have a job I might as well try to improve something in my life.

 

On that note I was thinking about selling my beloved ae86 due to the $2k rebuild it needs on the rear end. This morning I woke up & the 1st thing that popped in my mind was if I sell that car, then I will never be happy with myself. So as a birthday present to myself I am gonna keep my ae86 & fix her. I’m not sure where $2k is gonna come from but dang it I luv this car & there will never be anything as light as it again in our modern safety designed world.
