We've done this for the past 2yrs, so what's new! heee...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/080702/science/science_solar_system"&gt;we live in a dented solar system!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That really made me laughs. I imagine a dented basket ball that's missing some air and we live in it. Ok doesn't sound that funny but found the article pretty interesting:&lt;br /&gt;"When viewed from the rest of the galaxy, the edge of our solar system appears slightly dented as if a giant hand is pushing one edge of it inward, far-travelling NASA probes reveal. "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The idea that it was round now needs to change:&lt;br /&gt;"Astronomers said they will have to change their models for what the solar system looks like."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wow! 31yrs to reach almost the end of our solar system! I still to have a few yrs to go to completely exit. Amazing, it blows my mind! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A quote that we say in the newspaper that made us laugh:&lt;br /&gt;"If the Wright brothers were alive today, Wilbur would have to fire Orville to reduce costs. - Herb Kelleher, SWA, 1994"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BFG posed a question of why we haven't had any contact with other beings. Well, my answer is that I, if I was them, wouldn't want to know the human race. We are to evil, yes we can be kind but it’s a scary feeling that one person can harm many. Throughout history there has been good and bad but the bad always seems to be more of an interest. Specially, with capitalism and killing our planet. Now we are looking into Mars to see if in the future it will sustain life as we are depleting all our sources here in this planet. Literally, we are killing it! Too many people, too much rabidness for power!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What will the next generation do? Have they learnt to be friendlier to the planet or do they just don't care?</description><link>http://www.maizzy.com/2008/07/stuff.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (maizzy)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426556.post-3868565286092662047</guid><pubDate>Fri, 04 Jul 2008 23:15:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-07-23T19:25:24.217-04:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>polymer clay</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>july 4</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>glassattic</category><title>HAPPY 4TH JULY!!</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.glassattic.com/polymer/MainPages/cutters-blades.htm#smallmed"&gt;cutter and blades&lt;/a&gt; information on &lt;a href="http://www.glassattic.com/"&gt;glass attic&lt;/a&gt;.</description><link>http://www.maizzy.com/2008/07/happy-4th-july.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (maizzy)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426556.post-1951008183806078903</guid><pubDate>Wed, 02 Jul 2008 23:02:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-07-23T19:13:03.159-04:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>blog</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>cleaning</category><title>Just the stuff!</title><description>&lt;img src="http://static.flickr.com/23/32154894_c22509d9c9_m.jpg" style="border: 2px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); padding: 2px; float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;" /&gt;Finally updated my blog..

At the Synergy conference Dan Cormier and Tracy Holmes unveiled a practical new tool for polymer clay artists that is bound to be the next must-have supply on your tool list. The Sh.A.R.K consists of a magnetic adjuster and a magnetic ruler designed to fit onto an Atlas 150 Pasta machine - Cormier says to “think of it as a moving wall”. This tool makes your pasta machine adjustable and allows you to sheet clay in any width within the rollers. Sh.A.R.K = Sheet (SH) Adjuster (A) Ruler (R) Kit (K)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barnaby Barford wasn’t thinking about polymer clay when he created these bone china coffee cups. He designed the stamp cups in an effort to create a more pleasing pattern than the always-annoying coffee stain ring that cups and mugs leave on furniture. If you can’t fight ‘em, join ‘em, right? Clever, clever, clever! You can buy the cups here. A bit pricey, yes, but do you see the polymer clay possibilities? Still chuckling?

An &lt;a href="http://hellowota.blogspot.com/2008/03/maimin.html"&gt;article about her&lt;/a&gt; but its in Spanish&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I truly love &lt;a href="http://www.japantoday.com/category/book-reviews/view/izakaya-the-japanese-pub-cookbook"&gt;Izakaya&lt;/a&gt;s [Japanese pub]:&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Izakaya: The Japanese Pub Cookbook. This is the first publication in English to delve into every aspect of the Izakaya, or Japanese “pub” ― a unique and vital cornerstone of Japanese food culture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uninhibited and welcoming, the pub serves mouth-watering, nutritious and inexpensive small-plate cooking, along with free-flowing drinks. Like the Spanish tapas bar, it is a mainstay of the nation’s native cuisine, a vital venture for socializing and, in these health-conscious times, an increasingly influential culinary force.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eight different Tokyo pubs are introduced. Some of them have long histories; some are more recent players on the scene. All are deeply familiar to the author, who has chosen them for their quality, ambiance, and the variety they represent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also included are detailed recipes for 60 quintessential Izakaya dishes-delicious standards and specialties ranging from those often found on the traditional Japanese “comfort food” menu to highly innovative creations that reflect the living energy of pub culture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will also find a wide range of information-izakaya history, profiles of Japanese ingredients and spices, a guide to the many varieties of sake, cocktails and other alcoholic drinks that are served, “how-to “advice on menu ordering, and much more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More than a cookbook or a guidebook, this is a beguiling window onto a major food culture, and will be a source of inspiration to every food lover-home chef, hungry gourmet, or professional restaurateur.&lt;br /&gt;Author Mark Robinson is an editor and journalist who has written regularly from Tokyo on food and culture for publications including the Financial Times and the Times (UK), the Australian Financial Review Magazine, and others. Born in Tokyo and raised mostly in Sydney, he returned to Japan in 1988.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additional Information:&lt;br /&gt;ISBN : 978-4-7700-3065-8&lt;br /&gt;Kodansha Int’l&lt;/span&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tokyograph.com/news/id-3376"&gt;Mamoru Oshii appoints Ayaka [絢香] for "Sky Crawlers" theme song&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Mamoru Oshii's latest animated film, "The Sky Crawlers," now has an official theme song in the form of "Konya mo Hoshi ni Dakarete [&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO7fAqkaHrE"&gt;今夜も星に抱かれて&lt;/a&gt;]," a new ballad by young singer Ayaka.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The song was initially planned to be used as an image song that would appear in the movie's trailer, but after listening to the finished work, Oshii felt it matched the film so well that he decided to use it during the ending credits as the theme song. The director is known for avoiding the use of existing music in his works, but he made a rare exception this time, even going as far as redoing the credits to better incorporate the song.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Sky Crawlers" is also unusual for Oshii due to its choice of voice cast. He normally uses professional seiyus, but in April it was revealed that Rinko Kikuchi, Ryo Kase, Chiaki Kuriyama, and Shosuke Tanihara are lending their voices to the film.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Konya mo Hoshi ni Dakarete" is the final track on Ayaka's sophomore album, "Sing to the Sky," which goes on sale June 25. "The Sky Crawlers" will hit theaters more than a month later on August 2."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Sky Crawlers (スカイ・クロラ) by mamoru oshii [&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS6eKsapEzQ"&gt;trailer&lt;/a&gt;].&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLO9oGn5Ig0"&gt;wii game interview&lt;/a&gt; and video on the Sky Crawlers by Namco Bandai [Japanese].&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRb9FUO4JyQ"&gt;ayaka's 2nd album&lt;/a&gt; [Sing to the Sky] has been confirmed for release on June 25th, 2008!

Been spending the afternoon at&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://restomontreal.ca/"&gt;restomtl&lt;/a&gt; giving my feedback on restos. I couldn’t believe they don’t have a few restos I’ve gone too. I of course suggested them! I wish they sold Kobe beef here but the best thing to it is Alberta beef which can be purchased from &lt;a href="http://www.lebiftheque.com/"&gt;Le Bifthèque&lt;/a&gt;. I called to make sure that’s where they still get it, cuz you never know they might change it to the US or QC.

My body feeling heavy from going to bed so late... I immediately got my pc and headed to the living room... Fed the kitties! Ended up spending my time in the kitchen cleaning and loading the dish washer... Made some &lt;a href="http://www.lupicia.com/html/ja/item/001/006/item5618.html"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;"  lang="JA"&gt;さくら茶&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; [SAKURACHA]... Flowers always remind me of spring in Japan! &lt;span style="font-family:Wingdings;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;J&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Ended up taking pictures of the tea and the flowers that budded in the hot water... The rain is pouring out... Loaded some 2004 pictures from Cali! Had to take a few pictures of the rainy day! Such a May Day! Then got my CD that I burned yesterday night, before going to bed, and loaded the music up to my pc and onto iTunes... &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Seems some of the music bought on BFG’s pc doesn’t work on mine so I have to transfer it to CD then upload, what a crazy dumb ass way of buying but not being able to use it but on one machine... Rant.... here! Kitties are still demanding food! They eat and then want more WTF, which they throw-up because they have over indulged... goodness... &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Listening to music... Need to fix it properly and uploaded to my iPod... Ended up on last.fm and read &lt;a href="http://funkyglasses.blogspot.com/"&gt;JenJen&lt;/a&gt;’s post she left me... Suddenly, I felt like eating Indonesian food from &lt;a href="http://www.nonya.ca/menu.html"&gt;Nonya&lt;/a&gt;. We have only one in the whole island! The people are so sweet! I ordered and paid w/ cc... BFG will pick up for 6pm. Dinner is ready... heee... Ordered TEMPEH!!! Haven’t had it for quite a while. You can say that my palette is truly multi cultural... I can eat from almost anywhere in the world. I love it and will always be that way. Hopefully, if I would have children or adopt I would raise truly international/multicultural food gurus... Heee! &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Had a light intake of food [banana, ocha, ice cream sandwich] cuz I’m waiting for the YUMMY food for tonight! BFG will be sorta surprised... Haven’t told him, will call him when he’s off! Hee...
