Favorite Painting.

This is one of my favorite paintings made by Kozyndan. Kozyndan is actually a design duo made up of a guy names Dan and a girl named Kozy. The description from their website below:

Kozyndan are Los Angeles based mad scientists. They are working on a secret formula for controlled nuclear fusion, and are creating a line of edible chickens. For fun they like to take long deep breaths and dip their heads into bowls of raspberry jelly and lemon curd. They live indoors and don't paint on walls. The couple also moonlights as freelance illustrators.

You can find out more about their art HERE.

Happy Tang Yuan!

Today I'm talking about Tang Yuan. My favorite little white and pink balls. Nom Nom Nom.

Tang Yuan is eaten during the Winter Solstice. Tang Yuan literally means "round balls in soup." The balls, which you can buy frozen or make from rice powder. They sometimes contain stuff inside. My favorite are the unstuffed ones, but they could contain sesame, red bean, and other random chinese desert stuffings.. You know what they are. My grandmother always make this congee with Tang yuan in it an it's so delicious with Longan and peanuts and red beans. Today, I'm just making plain ones... still good. Here's how:

Ingredients:

1. 1 tbsn Sugar

2. 2 cups Glutinous Rice Flour (aka Mochiko Flour or Sweet Rice Flour) note: the box may say gluten-free flour, this is because glutinous rice flour doesn't actually contain any gluten.

3. optional: food coloring.

Combine ingredients in such a way so it makes a little ball of rice dough. I usually start with flour and slowly add water into the mix until it becomes moldable but doesn't stick to your fingers.

Divide into 4 balls and apply color then, break into smaller balls at about 1/2 inch in diameter.

If you make a lot, you can place the extra the little dough balls into a plastic bag and freeze them until use. I made mine fresh. Boil sugar and water an place the little dough balls into the pot. Like gnocchi, the dough balls are done when when they float to the top.

Done! and Enjoy!

Nom nom nom. Happy Winter Solstice!

Rilakkuma Bear

I think I want some Rilakkuma for xmas. you can never have enough Rilakkuma things. <<<-

Map of Tasmania

Have you seen my Map of Tasmania? prolly not because I don't have one.. but the song still rocks.

Amanda Fucking Palmer has seemed to go extra psycho for her new release in which she plays the Ukelele and is musically aided by The Young Punx (known for their dubstep tracks). She's totally gearing up for a crazy Australian tour which I'm totally jealous of everyone in Aussie right now!

And haha CHECK. OUT the Single release cover. It's so Gravy Train!!!!.

Total surprise to me 'cause it's so not girl anachronism anymore. Is Amanda Palmer going more cray cray than before? Check out the song for download HERE... and love it because Amanda Palmer is QUEEN.

Sunday Funday

This weekend, Ben took me skiing with two of our friends. Ben attempted to teach me how to snowboard (which I dutifully took to naming skiiboard all weekend to piss him off). It was kinda fucking cold but it was fun.

My Skateboard-Skiiboard-Snowboard thing.

We drove allllll the way to this place called Cascade Moutain in the mids of Wisconsin. It's full of people with too much time on their hands and way too much cold weather. First things first about snowboarding is that you gotta make sure you stay warm. I didn't get goggles 'cause I'm not hardcore enough. Ben is hardcore enough. He has goggles.

My refection shot didn't really work.. but that's me.. sorta.

I didn't get a good picture of the slopes cause my hands were too cold to use my iphone, but basically if you picture like... a big hill.. with snow and lots of skiiers... That's what it looked like. On the second day, I didn't really snowboard at all cause everything hurt from the first day of biting the snow. I mostly sat in the lodge and read Interview mag. Something I learned: snowboarding is mostly about keeping your balance so you don't fall down. Something that would have come in handy would be whiskers... or a tiny umbrella I could hold above my head like a wire walker. I wasn't reminded to bring any of those things so I fell down a lot and into a tree. Such is life.

Anyways.. next time, I'm gonna remember to bring warmer clothes and a lot more energy. Ben wants me to get good so I can snow board with him down double D's. I just wanna get good to justify an airbushed snowboard with a picture of spirit horses running though misty rainbows. Something reminicent betwixt a MLP DVD cover and those Indian spirit horses that run though shallow creeks.

And blend.

Starting my blog again!

so... ahahaha.. I've had so many reincarnations of this blog.. lol.. but I've kept the same name! anyways.. Due to the dizzolution of lafemmenotoire.com.... I've decided to start writing and documenting my own little life here at www.xiaobaibunny.blogspot.com again.. happy times.

Season Preview

-

So the Fall Preview 2010 issue of V is super hot. I've been super busy making blogs and whatnots. It's been super stressing me out.. but.. sigh.. it's okay. I just SUPER want a desk and room 2 work in.  Ordering.......... now.  Had a really good day today walking on the beach and just relaxing.  My feet kill but I picked up some super cute shoes. I feel like I can jump right into work tomorrow (after a big cup of coffee of course).  Sausage has been really sweet to me and we're gonna go snuggle and wait for tomorrow. Everything feels fine.

Crystal Castles - Not In Love

This is my fav song off their 2010 album. Crystal Castles is coming to Chicago the 3rd I think. wanna go?  I'd rather just see the dj set buutt.... Alice Glass just gets on my nerves somehow. She must be a Scorpio... nope she's a Leo.. that's why.

NLP

haha. I used to use this at the stripclubz but now I can build mad business rapports!  yaay. 

Very Becumming

-

Today, the internet guy came. yay.

I have guests in town this weekend and free tix to Lulzapalooza. Going to get in touch with my Vampire-Weekend-Empire-of-the-Sun side.. Neither which are playing this weekend.. but Gogol Bordello and Balkan Beatbox are playing. I'd like to see Eugene again and see how much more skinny he's gotten since I saw him @ the Newport.

I have major pet peeve when people spell come C-U-M.. like if they're suggesting something.. *wink wink*.. You're not clever.. It's gross and cum should only be used in sentences like "Wanna come over and see my Sausage cum cat?"

newaysss.. going to finish up my "work day" before heading out. l8rs

Kitty Trams

-

sigh.. everything is kinda going right in my life atm. I feel a deep sense of calm. Sausage came out of his litter box today. I think he was a little trams about the relocation.. now he's sitting under my couch. Nothing like the cat trams that Maite called me about yesterday.. LOL.  oh and I quit my job.. so I have indefinite time to blog and wonder about things. that's all.

Best Coast - When I'm With You

Unlackadayzesical

-

Only 2 more dayze...  I'm pretty much on schedule with my packing.. but enough about packing. It's mostly just deciding what clothes to bring and what to pack away to be sent to me come fall/winter.

Meeting the bff again today. Super exiting things are going on.. Can't really talk about them.. but yep.. I'm excited.

I've been talking to this super cute guy.. I really like him. He's seems really good for me and what direction I'm going in in my life. I'm planning to stop dancing. Should probably make a definitive date to work towards. Gonna go back to being poor.. Sucky.   There's just a couple more things I want to buy before I go back to having normal people money: S/S '10 Michael Kors snakeskin clutch (which should probably be on sale since I've waited so long to buy it), Jeffery Campbell shoes, and a metal detector for digging up old crap... among other things.

Think I will be interior decorating my apartment via BLEACH BLACK. I guess it's gonna have a lot of negative space.... designery. Haven't decided on if i want to paint my walls. I may do a large stencil mural with white black light paint.

Anyways.. interesting wikipedia article of the day.. M totally lied to me about that "biggest producer" fact.

Dreaming Cream

Don't know why.. but i listened to this song waaay to many times today. Inner faune punk gangster. 

Jealous Lurvers

-

Moving time is nearing. Officially moved out of Cbus today. I'm going to miss everyone.. but things were starting to turn sour at the house. Relationship jealousy is a total bitch. I know there's often a 30-70 split of people who like to remain friends with their exes compared to people who never see, talk, hear from their exes. Do you think that just because you break up with someone you should not be friends? I guess after a relationship ends someone is just too hurt to face the other. In that case, you probably shouldn't be friends... for at least a while. I guess that's kinda the state that M and I are at. Maybe I shouldn't reach out for him. He never had very many people to depend on emotionally speaking though so I feel I should make an effort to make him feel better. But maybe I'm the cause of the problems... I should probably just shut up. M did mention that he wanted to meet up for tea maybe (like we are in fucking England?) soon... So I'm leaving it to him.

I couldn't sleep at all last night. So I searched on Craig's List for a new companion for my new apartment.  I'm receiving a Black Maine Coon kitty cat on Monday. :) He's 5 years old and apparently comes with a jealous personality. Unlike my dog, he IS neutered and declawed. I think we'll have fun. His name is Sausage. Hilar.. but somehow fitting. I'm hoping he's all black so I will not have to deal with any white hairs on my clothes... but we'll see. I like surprises.

Crown On The Ground - Sleigh Bells

Loving this song recently.

Closing Doors

-

I've been SUPER busy cleaning and packing.  I made $900 on Saturday so I decided to pick up my new Macbook Pro so I won't have to pay chicago taxes. I received an ipod touch too as a "student" discount. yay. Super ♡ my new computer.

Fever Ray - When I Grow Up

This has been my favorite song going on months.. The Udachi remix is best.

Dog Days

-

Tonight's my last day at work. I'm going to miss everyone. Today I've just been hanging around the house spending time with my dog.  I think I'll miss him and the stupid anarchy symbol i bleached on his ass.. although, it is nice to not have him around. lol. 

Happiness

-

I'm super happy with my life right now.. Things that have happened within the last month have totally. I really can't contain myself about how excited about this move I am.  I love the people in my life right now and everything feels safe, secure, right.. Totally ready to ditch a lot of my "luggage" literally and figuratively.  And the fact that my computer is totally on its way out...  (i'd give it a week) is kinda symbolic of all the shit in my life i need to get rid of. Buying a new macbookpro next week tho.. Think I'll become a cat person...


on a different topic.. i got my taint AND bellybutton pierced yesterday. Let me just say, it looks hot as fuck.  The bellybutton piercing totally hurt more. My bff of 17 years and I are planning to go into business together. I'm super psyched for this. I no longer want to strip.. although I enjoy it very much, It's so taxing mentally and physically.  Although, I will be doing it until I can make real people money.

I saw my ex today. lol. It's just the same story. the only ex I've been trying to get a hold of is M. After blowing up his phone for 3 days.. he txted me this morning saying, "I'll talk to you tomorrow." which i don't believe for a sec. anyways.. It's been a year since "the separation," and I feel like I'm just now getting over it completely.  I'm totally ready to not date anymore psycho douche-bags and I want someone that has stability and is over 24.  Actually, I already have a date with this really cute guy in Chicago. Hoping it goes well.

Goth Star - Pictureplane

.1.

So.. I've decided to get back on my blogging wagon. Things are changing and I'm super excited about it. I'm happy to be closer to my 2 favorite people, although I'm leaving one behind. (Hopefully for not that long tho!)  I'm trying to redirect focus in my life and a move would be just perfect for that. So.. this is kinda going be my blog for my new life and all..  change of scenery and a change of attitude. Super excited.
