In which she says 'dang' alot

DANG, I'm tired.
Today I was going to try to find a portfolio.
My mom mentioned trying Michaels and I was all like "Michaels? Pfh"
But we tried anyway...and THAT was when the idea struck me.
INSTEAD of doing just a dopey dopey dough plain old portfolio why not put together more of a SCRAPBOOK type thing.
I mean....less personal then a scrap book but still...the idea of doing a little bit more of a SHOWCASE for my prints.
Super fresh.
So I got some really cool scrapbooking paper that I can layer and put together in this radzilla leather scrapbook I got.
It'll be much more interesting and unique then the plain portfolio I was planning on.
So...my mom was once again a sheer miracle worker.
I'm hoping to work on it this week and I hope it works out well.
Most obvious statement of the century, that be.
Anyhoo.
I finished reading the Mayor of Casterbridge.
I got really upset part way through the book...I won't tell you exactly WHAT in case you want to read the book but, seriously.
It was enough to make me want to chunk the book against some sharp many pointed object.
Like...a bed of nails, maybe.
Anyway, I finished it aaaand it actually finished WAY better then I thought it would.
I was surprised and felt all relieved, a huge weight is now off my back.
I have a literary crush on Donald Farfrae by the way.
I want to see the movie next but, I'm kind of bracing myself cause I know that the dude that plays Farfrae in the movie is nothing like the Farfrae I produced in my mind (my Farfrae being the true Farfrae)
But, the awesome thing being Ciaran Hinds plays the lead role, and he is PERFECT for the part.
I love him, he's a good actor.
At any rate, you should read it.

I also think I'll share, to finish up this super random post, my method for re-heating pizza so that it tastes yummy.
Cause sometimes your order pizza from the Caesar and then you try to eat it the next day and, it's just...not the same.
Well, what I do, is I put it on a plate with a wet paper towel over it and heat it up for like a minute at 30% power.
After that, I rewet the paper towel and heat it up for 30 seconds at 50% power.
It makes a difference, maaan.
It might even change your life.

This post is utterly life changing on many levels, I know.
It's like...the Barack Obama of all my posts.
It'll save your puppies and make you a mixtape.
DANG.

I said dang three too many times in this post.
Goodnight.
and God bless you all.

I don't have enough attention span to do that with my pizza. I just eat it cold and dip it stuff. Like dill dressing. :-D

What's...dill dressing?
Sounds like something that might be something I recognize, only you're from a different place and they call it something different.

i never have heard of using a wet paper towel.
i normally just throw a dry on over it.
i'll have to try a wet one next time.
im just glad you weren't like "just eat it cold"
*shivers*
