Wake me up when September ends

Fun fact: My original title idea was "The Productive Disaster in Kitchen" .... But then I realized that September had just started and that maybe I should make title out of it. And that my topic might not fit under my original idea.

I'd like to remind everyone that tomorrow is Monday (although in my head I'm feeling like Saturday today). So it's time for another Movie Monday! I still don't have any recommendations, so throw one for me?
I just today updated my Last Seen -list & Rent a Movie -page! After I have managed to write this entry I'll be watching two movies, The Soloist and Eden Lake :)
Again I'm gonna say that it would be preferable to pick one (or several) movie(s) out from either of those lists!

Oh god my attention span id like rodent's, it's not fun when you need to do something that needs your full attention. Like writing a blog. I just do shitloads of things at the same time, and aimlessly surf around my tabs and see if anything has happened. And then I come back and stare this. I know what I want to write, but I have no idea in what order and like .... ... what am I really gonna say. And I'm also looking the clock like "ooommggg I need to write fast so I can go to see the movie before it's like 4 am!" (It's 8:35pm atm)

Ehh, well I got into baking again. I love baking so much. But the problem is that I have no one who eats all of the things I make! Because I have these phases that I just bake and bake and bake. Also one thing that makes it semi hard is that me and mom can't have any lactose in our foods, well I try to avoid it, but I really don't care. But mom can't stand it at all, sometimes she does eat a little food with it and then her she's having hard time :s ....

But yeah, My GF had asked if I could bake Mocha cakes/pastries. Well of course I agreed, since she didn't allow me to make cake. So I told her that I'll do one sheet of normal ones and one sheet of my own adapted recipe.
Here's the result;













Hmm the pics are acting weird again. They should both be horizontal. Well, I'm not on a mood to fight with them!   

So the left one is my own variation. And the frosting didn't go the way I planned it to... I had never ever melted marshmallows so much and like made a frosting out of them, also there's white chocolate and strawberry flavored powdered sugar. I was aiming it to become bright pink, but it ended up being brown and hard... I think I accidentally caramel.. ...lisided (???) the sugar. I dun know the real verb and neither does the dictionary. But you know when you heat up sugar and it melts and becomes caramel, yes? Well yeah I think I did that, So it became super hard. I still need to clean the pot where I made this. Here have some visual. Srsl that brown stuff is stone hard! XD
And you can't even see the bottom, I poured some hot water and soap there so it'll soak. The bottom ot that is like pitch black and stuck in there! XD Well not the first time I've managed to make something sticky.
In the end it wasn't so bad tasting! It was like Slightly strawberry flavored Daim.
Next time I'll manage to make it better! XD

And uh in the right pic is the normal mocha cakes :3 I think I should make new sheet of them for us :) I enjoy doing them... And then I'm covered with icing sugar! Well I don't mind, I find if hilarious.

I also made some American pancakes, I just LOVE them! They are worth the work. I mean we have so much different version of 'normal' pancakes. I think they came out ugly looking, my previous ones (in my memory) seemed much prettier. But when I found the pic, they are quite a like. They're just piled up! And pf course they're served with maple syrup!













One day I'm gonna make pretty ones! One day....
I made these right after I woke up.
And I managed to fill the house with thick smoke. Srsl if you went to room that was closed and then came out, you could see that everything was grey XD!
I happens when you're using real butter to cook something and it takes longer than few minutes. Like if you're doing omelette it usually covers the whole pan, then there's no time to make smoke. But when doing these, there's space to form the "extra" smoke. I like doing these c: I just wish there would be ppl who eat these :<

I was supposed to make these on Friday, but I it was so late, and we watched The Last Song with mom. And I only managed to make Ham-Minced meat  -quiche. Idk I just feel weird to say 'pie'. Because you know it's full sheet of pie, so quiche sounds better. Well what ever, here:
This is one of those pies that when you eat one of those huge pieces you're instant bloated!
And I like how it's not so basic.
It also has one of the best crusts that I know. Since there's instant-mashed potatoes -mixing added to there. It gives a smooth flavor to it. And it's not so pizza alike that it may seem.
I was tempted to put the vegetable - mashed potatoes version in there, since I like it. But I ended up putting normal one.
Also I like how the topping is not just cheese. There's the mixing of eggs, creme cheese, milk and grated cheese.
I have done this exact same quiche once before, as in meat flavored.
Maybe next time I'll do 'sea' -version :) with tuna and shrimps!



I think the last one was that I made also a card for my GF. She always demands hand made card. So here's mine.

I hope that collage of photos makes sense.
First of course there's the front view, with Charlie the unicorn and Thor, he has pint in his hand!
And that number 20 is made out of tiny pieces of paper that I have cut myself.
Then the cat that says "BLÖ" It's just like "Blergh" kind of utterance.
Ummh the pic below the cat just shows the 'card' that was inside the pocket. It says (in Finnish):
"With this ticket you're privileged to: Movie night at the day* you wish in good company" (the asterisk has marked in the back and says "If it fits both parties")
And the lowest pic is obviously the inner look.
If you can't read the speech bubbles:
"This drink, I like it. ANOTHER!!" "I took the alcohol out if it" "WHAT?" "Brother, you've just been LOKIIII'D!" (ehehe -written with lighter green in the bubble like x100 XD) "LOKI!" 
And as you can see the bar's name is Laufey's, and there's Tony and The Huntsman in the bar ...

Okay now I can FINALLY go to see those two movies :)
Oh and My GF hadn't got a spider, I was like "NO FUCKING WAY!" when she told me that she had gotten "alive birthday present" for herself, I guessed it was the spider. But thank god no, it was the snake. AND MY GOD IT WAS SO SOFT AND CUTE AND ;;---;;  I WAN'T ONE! It was quite like this;
Ghost colored Corn Snake.

Doom of Laziness

Again I'm procrastinating the writing. I have like tons of things I want to write, but instead I sit still and surf on other sites waiting that feeling to go away. I doesn't go away until I actually write.
One step of that is that I actually write the 'headline' (or subject, whatever) and if I'm planning to add pics, upload/take them. So I've done those already. And then comes the hardest part:
Actual writing, especially the start.
But when I do it the sneaky way like this; apologizing the fact I haven't write or telling I want to write I get the kick to start. Then comes new hard part:
Continuing to the main subject I had in my mind.
How can you jump from this to like shoes and fragrances? There's no way you can just smoothly to slide onto that subject.
But as you can see I just did it ;D

So yes! I was about to talk partly of shoes and fragrances. Kinda. I mean I'm gonna do perfectly independent own post for both of them at some point. But now I'm just slightly hoovering on top of those subjects.

Today when I was going to get mail, I was hoping there would be nice package for me, and there was.
I had ordered 4 pairs of fancy shoelaces and they arrived! But I only have one pair of shoes! XD
I mixed two of them and I'm kinda satisfied to them, but one of the laces did not satisfied my expectation!
Here are all three pics, first one from the net site where I ordered the laces. Then how they really looked like and last my shoes with new laces :)

You can maybe guess which ones are the non-look-a-like-enough??
Maybe. Well the zebra ones, I mean they look pretty neat and bright colored. I think they are too dark and Idk. There's something I can't put my finger on that annoys me little on them.
But yes, I'm not saying they are ugly and blergh. I'm just saying that they aren't so fancy that I expected.

Also you may notice that I love animal pattern! :'D
My fave pattern is leopard. And then comes tigers/zebras and then everything else. I think there ain't not a single animal pattern that I dislike.
And I have quite a lot of different kind of things with all kinds of animal patterns. I'm wearing leopard patterned socks atm! XD Oh and yeah I have turquoise colored leopard spots on my left instep! Gonna add some lime colored spots as well :)
And if I'm shopping/window shopping and there's something with animal patterns I instantly (usually) want them!
But I'm against real fur. And breeding/capturing/hunting animals for their furs (or bones, or anything!)... Well.. Now that we smoothly slid onto here I'm against all kind of animal abuse and abandoning animals. But I'm not against human abuse, I mean it's never awesome if child get beaten. But if thee's 2 articles one telling that someone threw dog from a bridge and other one that child got threw from a bridge. I get anger for the animal abuser. And in movies/series if animal gets killed it's the most horrible thing that could happen :( Now saying that someone might expect that I'm some kind of animal activist etc. But I'm not. That's just my opinion and if someone asks that's it. But I'm not like force feeding my 'believes' to anyone.


So back to the shoes! Today in the mail was also Miss Mix -magazine (It's not as sex filled like Cosmo, but it's not like teen -teen magazine either.) so  as I was just going trough it and eyeing it. I bumped into these shoes.
They are just pure awesomeness, with I don't even know!
I just can't stop laughing while watching them! C'mon IT HAS A TAIL!
I kinda want these, but I don't think I would be bold enough to actually wear these in public... And well they don't fit into my style.
But these shoes are just ridiculously adorable :'D
Also when I was searching that pic from net I bumped onto same shoes, but there's not tail, instead of that a leopard head as the peak (like where's that Adidas -mark is, there's head).



And these shoes made me think of Puma, and Puma has new set of fragrances. For men and women.
Yellow (w) and Green (m).
I had a chance to go and try these yesterday when I was at movies (that's located in mall). And I think both of them are actually good. Usually just either one is good. So it's kinda rare that they succeeded to make both good! I think I might get the Green. And good think about Puma's fragrances is that they are cheap! I mean they are closer to 20€ than 50€... 
But it's not on my priority list of buying new fragrance! My current number one that I need to buy is Dolce Gabbana's The One (for men). But that one is too expensive, so I have to wait till I find it cheaper. I love the fact that on ships & airports items are tax free so they are so much cheaper! And of course it depends of the country and their currency. Like I would get that fragrance so much cheaper on States than in Finland! 

I think that was pretty much it for this post. I also took nice photo of Einari when he was sleeping on my bed today earlier. Well he's still sleeping on my bed, but just changed his position & placement.
