Today I have... Thread.

Finally bit the bullet and upgraded to Windows 10. Set all the privacy settings properly, gutted some of the bloatware (OneDrive, Win Store apps, etc) and spent a while cleaning up things in the UI I didn't like.

Have to say, I'm a fan. Lots of little tweaks and modifications that I had no idea were an option...but now I don't think I'll be able to live without. I do miss Aero though. This flat styling trend can go to hell.
 
Got mistaken for a recovering brain surgery patient at Walmart today while out with my mother because the side of my head is shaved. I didn’t have the heart to tell the kindly older gentleman that I just have a weird haircut, so mortal_mombat and I patiently listened to his story about his own brain surgery and subsequent recovery. He ended it with “Don’t ever stop smiling” and gave me and mombat hugs. It was cute.
 
Finally switched from my default browser to Firefox. About time.
 
Today, I pretty much made the decision to go to law school if I don't find a job that doesn't completely blow by the Fall. I'm not thrilled at the thought of potentially doubling my debt, but, at the same time I essentially have two options: go to and finish law school, pass the bar, work a job that I'll probably hate for three or four years afterwards that pays $50K+, do my consulting on the side, and then be able to do pretty much whatever I want; or find a part-time job to keep my head above water while I try to find a job that doesn't suck, consider myself lucky if I clear $30K in a year, and essentially rely solely on luck and my network for anything to actually work out in my life (which is what I'm doing now). Admittedly, I'll probably get a huge windfall in 2018, just because of the sheer number of competitive elections that will take place in Alabama that year, but I can do that while in law school more easily than if I'm trying to work full-time at some shitty job that would pay less.

Today I worked on a recipe, cause I'm a faggot for cooking shit:

chorizo 6 3 inch links
dandelion bitters 3-4 cups
firm tofu, drained 1/2 block
garlic 1 tbsp
olive oil 2 tbsp
honey 1-2 tbsp
egg roll wrappers
cilantro to taste
salt and pepper to taste

Brown chorizo in pan on medium high until just done in 1 tbsp olive oil, remove retaining liquid. Ad 1 tbsp olive oil and diced tofu, cook through, when almost done . While cooking chop dandelion greens, add to pan and saute together until greens are tender.

Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl, add honey, salt and pepper and mix. Remove skins from chorizo and crumble, add to tofu and greens with 1/3 retained liquid and mix to even consistency.

Place 1 egg roll wrapper at a time onto work surface, with a corner pointed toward you, spoon 3 tbsp of filling into middle lower half of wrapper. Add sprigs of cilantro. Roll bottom, fold in corners and continue rolling, wet top corner with warm water to seal. Continue until chorizo mix runs out. Place rolls seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, lightly spray with cooking spray.

Bake rolls at 425 for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.


I still need to roll the shit and bake but the insides of my rolls are fucking nice. Even if I dropped my 1 litre jar of diced garlic on the fucking floor and had to spend 10 minutes getting the fucking garlic off the walls.
 
I woke up at 2 in the morning today since three of our smoke alarms abruptly went off. It was hell for us, but it would've been paradise for the autists who think those things sound delightful.
 
Visited my Russian neighbors who were so kind and sweet, they loved petting my dog and cat who were also visiting (yes, my cat goes for walks with us, haha).
They gave me some wonderful items from other countries, it was very unexpected and incredibly amazing of them, I was nearly moved to tears. I put the pictures in spoilers.
Plates were made in Denmark, Bulgari perfume was imported from Italy (smells amazing, by the way), and the wooden Easter egg was hand-painted and made in Russia.
 
I was watching some TV, and it turns out that Chris had a cameo on Drew Carey:

I finished a paper for my writing class and I finished reading a book series. I also helped my little sister trim one of my dog's hair since it get so long and out of control.
