Cual es la fecha de hoy?

So this is a post merely to ask ChristyBu what her blog is, since potter is retarded and can't tell me what it is. So, what is your blog ChristyBu? I would like to comment on it every now and again.

Baked Goods Utopia - Chocolate Genoise Cake

Mmmmm oh man...oh man...oh man...just looking at that picture makes me feel like I'm running through candyland, in the heavenly cakes district, just south of the oreo milkshake cascades. That cake is the Chocolate Genoise Cake, and I made it. That is a picture I took, the only thing that didn't turn out the way it was supposed to was the chocolate mousse, which as you can see, is a bit runny. Nonetheless it was delicious. You soak the bottom half of the cake(can't see it due to the mousse oozing over it like delicious lava seeping out of a chocolate volcano) in an orange sauce, which essentially is just orange juice. It works out great, makes it taste like one of those chocolate oranges, the only fruit I eat. This cake was made from scratch, here is the recipe. I'll warn you in advance, it is quite complicated and the cake can be ruined if you don't know what your doing. If you compare my cake to the one in the recipe site, you'll see mine is much flatter and the mousse is runny. But my lessons were learned, and my next sponge cake will be better than taking ecstasy before running down a hallway full of rotating pillars made of feathers that brush against your skin ever so gently.


You gotta let the cake sit in the fridge over night, so this pic was taken the morning after. The EARLY morning after. I don't feel comfortable having any pics of my niece on the web so I blocked her face out. Shes in it cause she kinda help make it, but not really as I didn't trust her ability to bake. I mean, a woman's primary calling in life is to cook and what not, but when it comes down to cooking fantastic top-of-the-line meals and desserts, it takes the expertise of a man. Look at all the great chefs in the world, their guys. Rachel Ray and Giada De Laurentiis are only popular cause they're hot. But they're food is equivalent to that which you'd expect from a three star restaurant, not a four star one, the ones where a man is the head chef.

I decided that this blog could use a little bit of estrogen since half the posts have to with something along the lines a "special" present...ahem bru ha ha. The problem is that I don't really know what to write about. So I'll leave you with this -->



MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Happy Holidays

Gods of Parkour (in embryo)

Winter break is upon us, which brings multitudes of free time. Therefore, Aldana and I shall train to become the american versions of Cyril Raffaelli and David Belle. And we will accomplish this feat in the 4 weeks we have in between semesters, because anything is possible with the human spirit...especially when you fuse it with the christmas spirit and the no-school-for-a-month spirit to form the Voltron of spirits.

Basics of Parkour

К черту??

Я хочу писать по-русски в этом блоге. Почему? Не знаю. Завтра будет плохо. Надо...экзамены...но, я хочу пинать с моими друзьями.

Awesome artistic tshirts

Its almost christmas!! Tank Theory provides some awesomely psychedelic pop tshirts to satisfy your christmas shopping needs!! If you know someone whos like me(artsy fartsy and into everything), then this is just the place to get that person a gift. *hint hint wink wink*

Music Videos of the Week - The Knife

Apparently I'm really into electronica music right now. I love this band, especially the Pass This On song.

The Knife - Pass This On
Yes, thats a man. The actual singer is the girl sitting at the table, better seen in the next video. And Olof is the first dancing guy, the other person in this 2 person group. I love the way this video was filmed. This video reminds me of the farewell dinner in Russia, when me and the Russian girl I loved began dancing, then everyone else slowly joined in. It was awesome. Dancing is awesome. Even if you suck.

The Knife - You Take My Breath Away

My short term goal(anytime before I go back to Russia) is to have a glam rock themed party. Basically everyone would have to dress similar to the people in this video. It would be awesome. Man, sometimes I really wish my parents didn't wait till they were friggin 40 to have me, so then I could've grown up in the late 70's and 80's, the greatest time period of history ever. Other times I'm glad they waited so long tho, because video games really sucked back then, and I would've been labeled a communist traitor for going to Russia, and then have to be on the run from Patrick Swayze and the Wolverines, his crack team of high school guerilla fighters....yeah I'm feel extremely nostalgic of russia tonight for some reason.



I'm from Barcelona - We're from Barcelona
I had to post this video, as it is awesome. This inspired my "ridiculously festive christmas sweater" themed party that I can hopefully get enough people to do over winter break. And I'd make everyone do family portrait style pictures at some point...I worked at Sears Portrait Studio back in high school, so I am a pro at this. One of my fondest memories of working there was placing the apathetic or pissed off kid in the back in such a way so that the light just barely missed him, making him look like the unwanted step child of the family. Ah, such good times.

Idle Hand's Are The Devil's Playthings

So, while I wait for my computer to render my 2 sec long animation, I've decided to post some random thoughts. I have no idea why the title popped into my head but in trying to remember exactly what the phrase was I stumbled upon two things. First off was the movie Idle Hands. Its about so guy whose right hand gets possessed by the devil and he kills his two best friends and his whole family, but his two best friends come back to life (i.e. zombies) in order to help him. This movie was memorable because Jessica Alba was in it for her first real role, which consisted of looking smoking hot and having a few insignificant lines. Second, there is a futurama episode where Fry trades hands with the robot devil...thats about all i remember about the episode except its title was The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings, which is a clever twist on the phrase. So rendering the animation full screen was a bad idea since its taken this whole time to do 7 out of the 36 frames. Anywho, so this animation is for my graphics class. Instead of a final we get to make a 10 sec animation, which sounds kind of daunting at first but this nifty little program called Blender makes it super easy and actually fun. The models I'm using for it can be seen in the last couple of posts. I'm really having fun with this animation and I'm going to work on it over the winter break to make it awesome. If I find some way to post it I will. In related news I'm going back home to Maryland for the first time in like 5 months, so I'm really excited. Though I will be leaving behind my sweet girlfriend whom I love dearly. I was deeply saddened when she told me she wasn't going to visit me over the winter break. Because, you see, last year she flew up to Maryland for a week in January before classes started again. It was lots of fun, especially taking her skiing, even if a certain bald, Mormon backed out on us **cough, Potter, cough**** Holy crap it's still not done....what else is there to write about. Oh a good site to go to for you frugal shoppers is Woot.com. It only sells one item a day, unless its a woot-off, but the item is at an extremely discounted price. Sometimes they have crap on there but sometimes they have some pretty nifty stuff. What should I put up as a banner picture....
