Dear McDonald's employee,

I hope you appreciated me calling you an asshole as much as I appreciated you calling me fat.



Seriously, I took my kid in for ice cream after dinner, and besides throwing around racial slurs and F-bombs, two employees had the nerve to not try to even hide the fact that they were talking about me. The manager was standing right behind them and did NOTHING. I finally looked at the guy and said "I'm not fat, I'm pregnant you fucking asshole."

Corporate got a really lovely message from me. Jerks.

Strawberry Lemonade Cake [pics and recipe]

My cousin found and shared this recipe with me. It sounded really good so I had to give it a go.
It turned out pretty well - especially considering I haven't actually baked a cake in a really long time. It's a nice balance of sweet strawberry and sour lemon, a great dessert for a warm day!

strawlemoncake2
strawlemoncake1

The recipe calls for
* One box of strawberry cake mix (and eggs, oil, and water needed for it)
* One 8 oz pack of Philadelphia Cream Cheese (softened at room temperature)
* One 8 oz tub of Cool Whip topping
* Yellow Food Coloring
* Two - 7 oz containers of Jet-Puffed Marshmallow creme
* One packet of Kool-Aid lemonade mix
* fresh strawberries

-Directions-
* Prepare the cake as directed and bake in TWO 9-inch round pans.
* While cake is baking, cream together the cream cheese, lemonade mix, and yellow food coloring until smooth and you've reached desired color.
* Mix in the two containers of marshmallow creme and mix until smooth
* Add 8 oz tub of cool whip and mix until smooth
** Refrigerate this creme until cake has completely cooled and is ready for assembly **

* Rest the cakes on a wire rack until completely cooled.
* Cut each cake layer in half, so you wind up with four separate pieces.
* Alternate layers of cake with layers of creme (I found about 3-4 big tablespoons was enough to do each layer) and end with covering the entire cake in a layer of creme.
* Top with sliced strawberries.
* Refrigerate and serve chilled!

Since the frosting/creme is made from cool whip and cream cheese it will melt if left out, so keep that in mind.
This was my first try at this cake and I think it turned out pretty well. Let me know if you try it, too!

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time - live action movie
jsketch
denilmo
So... being stuck in bed cause of my morning sickness-turned all day sickness has been hard (seriously, ginger doesn't help and everyone is swearing by it T_T). But I've had some movies to help me through. I watched the live action adaptation of Toki o Kakeru Shoujo - The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and it was pretty good. I can't seem to find a really good trailer, but here's one:

Time Traveller - The Girl Who Leapt Through Time


Riisa Naka - who did the voice in the anime - plays the lead, Akari. Attempting to leap to 1972, she accidently ends up in 1974 instead and sets out to deliver her mother's message with the help of her new friend Ryota. The time leap itself is a little odd, but the other effects aren't too bad. I really enjoyed the balance of discovery, drama, and comedy - I found myself giggling, aww-ing, and crying. It's a little over two hours - so be prepared to let the story gradually build. It's well worth it, in my opinion, and by the time the movie reached its climax and ending my attachment to the characters made it all the more bittersweet.

If you enjoyed the novel or the anime version, then give this a shot as well.
If you haven't leapt into the title before (see what I did there?), then this is as good of a time as any. It's currently available on Netflix.

Manga: Area D [Who's reading?]

The latest chapter began a new arc!! *dances*
I've been working on some stuff for Naruto, but fic for Area D is just poking at my brain and won't stop... the story, to me, has been really good and now a new arc and... I'm having naughty Asura and servant ideas all because of the page:
area_d

A star went supernova 430 light years away, and the light finally reached earth. As the first night ends a strange "phenomenon" sweeps across the world and people begin to change. These people - known as "altered" - have been round up and the story follows the ones currently heading to a prison island known as Area D.

If you're interested, you can check it out from the beginning at goodmanga
I think it's also on mangafox.

If you ARE reading, let's be friends!
Characters, pairings, or arcs you particularly enjoy?
Found any cool fan art or fics to recommend? ♥.♥

Hahaha this was awesome. Little Tsunade OMG!!

This chapter totally gave me some "Uchiha brothers" feels. The Hokage interaction was nice, too.
I wonder what else Orochimaru is up to. He's been playing too nicely and it makes me suspicious.

I am on a serious Kakashi kick right now... I'm not sure why (other than the fact that he is one of my favorite characters of any anime ever) since I have been kind of... I dunno "out of it" for a while. But now, I've been scouring Kakashi images like crazy. I really want... I crave more I'm-gonna-kick-your-ass, action-y, BAMF "shut yo mouth" images of him.

I'm reaching out to my flist, here. If you have any pictures of BAMF Kakashi please share? Pwetty pwease?

You'll be helping to scratch that itch and I will forever be grateful.
