So. Again, I'm starting a post with "So.".

Anyway.

I've been perusing teh intarwebnets for recipes and instructions for how to make daifuku mochi.

There's a problem. Almost all of the recipies are different!!!

This one says use 1.5C water/mochiko, .5C sugar, and some Potato starch.

This one says .25C sugar.

This one says 2.5C sugar, 12oz coconut milk, 1.75C water, and cornstarch!

This one says 2.5C water, 1C sugar!

This one says 2 cups mochiko, 1-1.5C sugar, 2.25C water, and corn/tapioca starch!

What to do, what to do.

I'd like to try adding different flavorings to it... Maybe I could put a bullion cube in the water/sugar mixture... Ewwww.

Peach, lemon, cherry, almond, cinnamon, hazelnut, and orange sound like they might be fun to try.

I've got to make yomogi ones, though. Yum.

So. I've noticed that the internet as a whole doesn't think too highly of me.

How sad. They could at least leave a comment to tell me why.

Anyway.

I went with Dave to vote yesterday.

The Democrats gave us a sheet of paper with all the answers on it. It's nice to be told who to vote for, it takes the stress out of it for me. :p

BTW, I didn't vote. I'm an awful American.

I'm "done" with my projects, so I'm going to head out and buy things to make my mochi.

I want to make a cake and cover it in fondant as well. I was sitting back and reminiscing the intarwebs, and the Mario Wedding Cake reminded me that I wanted to make a shiny smooth cake.

I think Wally's sells fondant in their arts/crafts section.

I look at cakes like this one and this one I'd only be making a single layer cake, though.

Hahaha, bootleg Hello Kitty cake!

Fondant would be good for making a katamari cake, but I'd have to get the Betty Crocker Dome Pan.

Oh! I forgot to say what fondant is. Thanks, kkama67 .

Here's a few definitions/pictures.

This page talks about how to use it.

Here's wikipedia's outlook on it.

Oh, and a note: When I make the mochi and fondant cake, I will post pictures of them both.

Ooooh I know what kind of cake I want to make.

In my sittings, I've decided to procrastinate.

I ordered a yummy Hawaiian(pineapple/ham, what's so Hawaiian about that, I'm not sure) pizza.

I remembered a guy who went through hell and high water to get the boot off of his car.

I realized I wanted to learn how to make daifuku mochi.
Here's another recipie.

I think I'm going to buy some food flavorings and experiment. I really like the yomogi ones, so maybe it'll be cheaper to make them.

Perhaps I'll start these Wednesday.

Oooh, I found Kuri! Scroll down... It's ridiculously cute.

So.

Apparently I had a biology test today.

I found this out... today. In class.

Oh well.

An attached thought:

I'm looking at a graph of traffic to here. They have the points plotted as discrete points, but there is a line connecting them. How can I have portions of visitors?

An attached gloat:

I wrote myself a program that calculates all of my things over in the corner there.
I tell it how many credits I've got, what I want to compare it to, and how many credits total I'm aiming for.
So. I've got 4???? credits, I'm comparing it to 38456 credits, and aiming for 16000.

It even loops, so i can compare things several times!

yeah!

Has decided that the ultimate answer is... Oops, your browser died.

Anyway. I was walking to Dave's, whilst in deep thought, listening to... V no sign de Oshioki yo, aka VERY MELON! and had a thought:

Music is like numbers.
You have a set, 0-9 or a-g, that can be reiterated in varying... versions of itself.

Both can be irrational or rational, so you can have different songs that are non-repeating, or songs that are exactly alike, and repeating.

However. Songs can be multidimensional. When you think of a number line, you think of numbers along a 2 dimensional line. When you think of music, you think in chords. Chords can be of infinite depth, only limited by the ability of the musician. So while numbers have the possibility of never being the same, music seems to have infinitely many more possibilities of never being the same.

What does this say about music? I'm not too sure. I didn't think that deeply into it.

Trilingual post! Yeah... right... I'm not particularly fluent in any of those three languages... and English is my natural language. Phooey.

So I'm supposed to be working on a project that was due at 11p tonight.

There's a day extension! More time to procrastinate, huzzah!

Anyway, I went to cracker barrel for the first time yesterday, the food was good, but the pancakes were a tad... spongy. :/

There was older-ish black lady who kept staring at Dave and I... or maybe I'm just being paranoid. Silly people making me paranoid.

Dave's dad stole my cd spindle of candy, no complaints, it keeps me from eating it, and he's paid for my food when we've been out. I always feel weird when other people's parents pay for my food. Not quite sure why.

I was going to suggest that Dave make a "members only" commenting feature, but then I realized that oh... it's already there.

I wonder if Kooki-sushi sells the li'l shoyu fish by itself... It's ridiculously cute. Perhaps I just want a shoyu fish.

I had a dream last night that my collar broke... :/ That makes me sad.
