themeletor | we've got a lot of time / and it sure feels right

so when I picked up this icon from

sampaguita_blue, I was not expecting to have the splendid opportunity to use it so soon! (oh, sarcasm, weloveyou). apparently someone in the Head Poo-Bah's office got on Sherie (the lovely lady who runs the campus store)'s case for letting students use their 'Polar Points' (flex points for the meal plan) - TO BUY FOOD - while campus is technically closed for spring break. no, this does not make sense. yes, I am just going to shut up and deal. in the mean time, HERE'S AN ALBUM FOR YOU! I like it.

The Juliana Theory - Emotion is Dead (.m4a, .zip)

also, for anyone wondering exactly how I'm dealing while not exactly shutting up?

need:
1 package Ramen. I'm using mushroom flavor.
1 electric kettle or other method of getting water as close to boiling as possible.
The top from 1 (economy-sized) CD-R or CD-RW spindle.

First-
wedge Ramen noodle block in CD spindle top. the corners may come off the Ramen. that's ok, it's just noodles.

Second-
fill electric kettle with 2 cups of water. heat it to boiling.

Third-
pour water into spindle top, over Ramen. the top will hold a little more than exactly 2 cups. it's very convenient.

Fourth-
wait for several minutes, poking Ramen every few minutes with chopsticks. when noodles are soft enough that the block breaks up and actually looks like noodly soup rather than a brick of wiggly extruded flour, water, and egg, add contents of flavor packet. poke some more, and stir, and such.

THE MEAL THAT COSTS LESS THAN THE NAPKINS! YAY!

Note: I have Sony CD-R, and that seems to impart no extra plasticky flavor (I say "extra" because well, this is Ramen).

-BON APPETIT!-

Gonna watch Swing Kids now.
