the BEST music video EVER!

No really, this is the BEST music video EVER; completely deserving of the caps.



So take your pretty little selves to YouTube and you search for "Knights of Cydonia." Do it, and do it now.

quote of the day

for all those people I know who are so fucking special
""If you're one in a million, there are six thousand people exactly like you."

*edit: My PMS may be out of control this month, but I mean every word.

Jambalaya-ish

Fed 6 people
  • .75 cup brown rice
  • one large carrot sliced in rounds
  • .5 lb stir fry chicken chunks
  • one yellow onion chopped
  • two ribs celery sliced
  • .5 large red bell pepper roughly chopped
  • .5 large green bell pepper roughly chopped
  • .5 cup frozen corn
  • four andoullie sausages, cut into half inch pieces
  • .5 cup fresh basil leaves
  • one cup dry white wine
  • one can chicken broth
  • fresh & dry thyme
  • fresh & dry oregano
  • minced garlic
  • garlic powder
  • paprika
  • salt
  • cayenne
  • red pepper flakes
  • dried crumbled or chopped bay leaves
  1. layer first set of ingredients in order in crock pot
  2. mix spices w/ a small amount of the wine in large container to taste
  3. mix rest of wine & chicken broth with spices
  4. stir well
  5. pour spice broth over stuff in crock-pot
  6. set pot cook at high heat and walk away
  7. when the rice on the bottom is edible it's done! (3-4 hours on high, you could probably cook it on low while at work all day)
This was way better than I thought it'd be for a first try. Waaaay better, like I wish I'd actually written down what I was doing while cooking good. There may have been another vegetable in there I'm forgetting, and likely a few more spices, will update as memory serves.

I think the potential to recreate this many times over using seasonal vegetables is limitless.
