May. 15th, 2010 05:26 pmUgh, it's hot again... My window is open and it's windy outside (it is Hood River, after all) but it's still really hot... I feel like my energy is sapped because of the heat. Maybe I should turn on the A/C? Ugh, it feels too early for something like that...
But I am continuing on with the Initial D watching marathon. I thought I might have to work today so I was prepared to put it on hold but since I didn't, I woke up early and have been blazing through the Second Stage. Man, this is what I missed most about watching anime -- especially the competition related ones. The adrenaline, the excitement, the pounding of the heart as you watch people go right at it with all their strengths... That, and hearing awesome seiyuus! I feel like I fall more and more into infatuation with every word they speak. It's enough to send a girl into a fangirl high induced coma.
I did do something productive today on this lazy, hot Saturday. I made brownies! With the pecans Diana bought me since if I don't use them, I never will. Seriously, how does one use eight cups of pecans halves? Make pecan pie? But it's not something I like eating (way, way, way too sweet and sticky). Praline? I've been meaning to break into candy making as it would give me a chance to use the candy thermometer, which incidentally, Diana also bought me. So far, I've only candied ginger and it was a bit of a headache so I'm a bit leery of trying again. But I want to candy lemon slices! How yummy would that be? And praline is also very delicious so maybe I'll try that as well with my bountiful amounts of pecans.
Anyway, I've covered the brownies with powdered sugar, as if they weren't sweet enough. I'm waiting for them to cool to cut into them now but they look awesome just in the pan. I made a bit of a mess with the cocoa powder exploding on me but hopefully I got all of it... But damn, is it hard to clean up...
edit x1: Every time Ryosuke speaks, I have this urge to just wrap myself with Koyasu Takehito's voice. It's silly, I know, but I think I could reach a true level of happiness if it were possible.
edit x2: Is there anybody who embodies coolness as much as Takahashi Ryosuke? I can't think of anyone else who is that awesome.
