you know you have a problem when...

Hi.  My name is Liesl and I'm an addict.  Within the past day I have read three books, and I can't stop.  Curse you stop long series!  It's now almost 2am and I'm highly considering starting book four out of seven (in the House of Night series,which is cheese-tacular and obviously addicting) instead of sleeping.  Aarg!

Stolen Recipe (mhah ha ha -evil laugh)

So I went to Cheesecake Factory awhile ago, and I think I have basically figured out the recipe for my favorite pasta dish there.  so good!!!  It's super easy.  Take penne pasta and toss with olive oil and a little pesto.  Then top with sauteed yumminess including: kalamata olives, pine nuts, sun dried tomatoes, broccoli, artichoke hearts, and red bell pepper.  I kid you not, I am drooling as I write this.  Um yeah, gotta go so I can go make some more of this and eat it right now.   :)

The Adventures of...

So I decided to prepare everyone (and by that I suppose I really mean Tova, and perhaps Jeff) for the coming adventures of "The Coffeenator" and "The Devourer of Books". This of course being Carra and myself.  Why the random superhero-esque names you ask?  Um, we were bored?  The better question I think is why we picked those specific names.  Carra works at Starbucks (enough said), and I do things like read half a dozen or so novels I week (partially because I have too much free time, and partially because I get hooked onto various series and can't stop until I've read them all).  Um, so far there are no adventures because we've only just picked cool names... But we warned!  Someday soon you will read of majorly retarded things involving "The Coffeenator" (not to be confused with Ralph Nader) and "The Devourer of Books".  This is your heads up.

goat

I seriously just saw a cat in my backyard that was so large and bushy, that when I first saw only its back half, I thought it was a small goat.  My first thought was of course, "How the heck did a freaking goat get into my yard?"  And that's whn I realized it was indeed a cat.  Wow.

Sad for me, fun for others

So today I played the playstation.  Or should I say "tried" to play it.  I'm definately one of those people who tends to lean left/ right, or bounce in their seat while the character jumps, etc.  The overall concensus is that I suck at video games, but I'm very entertaining for my friends to watch.  As far as I'm concerned, I can either play video games or go to the gym (cause really I think I get the same workout either way).

Drooling

I am totally drooling over this:



I've been wanting to get a dress form for forever.  Yeah, I know.  I'm a huge nerd.

Celebrities

I can't help it. It makes me feel awesome when famous people sound like the idiots they generally are. ...Which reminds me of one of my favorite Avenue Q songs (Schadenfreude). My mind tends to jump around a lot. Anyway, that's why I now have spaztacular "celebrity" quotes on my blog.
