Make a bento for your pet!

May 29th, 2008 at 9:40 am (Cute Things)

See, I told you I would watch some. Here are some great tips for making a bento for your pet. Wowzers. That is a dedicated pet owner.

I’m tempted to start making bentos for myself, or at least sticking to the 4-3-2-1 rule. It seems like Bentos are really good for portion control; maybe I can convince my dad to make them. Except maybe without the cute stickers or panda-shaped onigiri. Side note: this is the creepiest bento ever.

OMG I want to comment on this so badly! Not only is it the most adorable bento, but it is dedicated to a person named Audrey Rose! Audrey Rose!

MORE BENTOS!

Kuririn Bento

So as we all know, I am a little Bento-crayzee. The food-cuteness combination puts me right over the top. So I’m a little excited that someone has made an Instructable on crafting a bento. It has great tips! Par example:

The 4-3-2-1 rule: 4 parts rice, 3 parts protein, 2 parts vegetable, and 1 part “treat” (Usually either pickled vegetables or something sweet.)

I never knew that. Now I feel like watching some Bento TV. More Links:

That’s a lotta semi-colons!

May 26th, 2008 at 8:28 am (Reading)

I’ve been going through some old blog drafts that I never posted and I found this passage I’d saved from The Mayor of Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy:

The sharp reprimand was not lost upon her, and in time it came to pass that for “fay” she said “succeed”; that she no longer spoke of “dumbledores” but of “humble-bees”; no longer said of young men and women that they “walked together,” but that they were “engaged”; that she grew to talk of “greggles” as “wild hyacinths”; that when she had not slept she did not quaintly tell the servants next morning that she had been “hagrid,” but that she had “suffered from indigestion.”

I want to read Harry Potter 1-3 now.

Yard Sale!

May 24th, 2008 at 1:22 pm (Life Lessons)

I’ve decided to have a yard sale. I want to get rid of my old bed from when I was a kid that’s currently living in our (second) guest bedroom (to be replaced by a space-saving click clack sofa bed) along with a bunch of broken computers and all sorts of crap that is sitting in my parents’ basement becoming mildewy. There is stuff in the basement left over from one of our church’s yard sales, and lots of old toys, and it’s all going to go.

Here are some comments I found here, here, here, here and here on how to have a yard sale:

I think I posted this red panda before, but I wanted to post it again just in case because it just showed up on Cute Overload.

Gold Nanoparticles Resurrect Failed HIV Drug

By hacking off the ends of a failed HIV drug and sticking the resulting molecules onto gold nanoparticles, scientists have stopped HIV from infecting lab-cultured white blood cells. It is the first time gold nanoparticles have shown potential in therapies for HIV.

Hmm… This sounds familiar.
