Recipe – The Perfect Omelet
December 31, 2006
Over the past years, I have been making omelets when I have nothing else to eat. Their cheap and taste really good. I have also developed what I believe to be the perfect omelet recipe.
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup lowfat milk
- 1/4 cup green bell peppers (red will also work)
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1 tbs butter or margarine
- 1 – 2 handfuls of grated cheese
- dash of salt
- dash of table pepper
- sour cream
- salsa
- avocado
Utensils
- medium sized mixing bowl
- small whisk
- 12″ cast iron skillet
- spatula
To start off, we want to take the butter and put it in the middle of the skillet. Now, turn the heat as hot as it will get. This is very important. Just let the butter melt in the middle, don’t touch it.
While the pan is getting hot, go ahead and cut up the bell pepper and onion. This will allow the skillet to warm up.
Crack all three eggs open in to the bowl. Whisk them until the mixture is smooth. Add the rest of the ingredients except for the cheese. Again, whisk them together, this time whisking them as fast as you can. What you are trying to do is make the mixture fluffy.
This is probably the time when you should grate the cheese if you need to. However, you should do it fast as the skillet is probably hot enough. If the butter looks like it is caramelizing then it is getting too hot.
Pour the egg mixture right in the middle of the skillet. This will push any extra butter to the edge of the pan coating it semi-evenly. Let sit for a few second then slowly shake the skillet to evenly disperse the eggs over the skillet. After a minute or two, the mixture should look almost cooked. Take the cheese and put it on one half of the omelet. Then flip the side with no cheese on it over the cheesed side. This is hard at first, but once you do it a few times it’s really easy.
Now, remove the omelet from the skillet and turn the fire off. The bottom of the omelet should be a dark golden brown, but not burned. Put the sour cream, salsa and avocado on the top and enjoy.
Major Blog Changes Coming
December 28, 2006
This blog will be taken over by the new blog over the next few days. I have grown past the point of needing to rely on wordpress.com to host my blog, and would like to host it myself. Not only will this allow me to have an awesome layout, it will let me do many more things that wordpress just can’t do.
There will also be other changes but those will be seen later.
Gamers Is Here!
December 25, 2006
The much anticipated film is here! Watch it below. But please note, this is not the final-final version. I forgot some people in the credits (sorry, really!).
Gamers – Coming Christmas Morning?
December 23, 2006
I hear rumors that I will be done with Gamers tomorrow, which in turn means a Christmas morning release (and also because my siblings wake up at the most early hour possible). So far the footage is amazing, and the editing is going better than the editing for Flesh. So, check back Christmas morning to see if I have uploaded the film.
As tradition goes, we will have a high def showing at my house later next week.
Facebook’s New Update
December 20, 2006
I just noticed that Facebook has rolled out some updates without posting on their blog. Strange. They have made the interface a lot smoother by adding in some AJAX to the poking action. I’m sure this isn’t the only thing they have updated, so I’m going to go fine out.
I must admit though, I love the small addition, it takes out a few clicks.
RIP: Nick – The Story Behind It
December 19, 2006
Ok, so as people guessed he wasn’t dead. It was a ploy to get his “Internet” pissed. Let me explain this girl to you all. SHe lives in one of the most hick states in the US. Where the legal driving age is from what I believe the lowest in the country. May this be good or bad, it shows how wrong the state is. It is also the place where houses are dirt cheap and rich people only have a million dollars or less. Likewise in California, Gas prices are incredibly high, housing costs are through the roof, and we are the 7th largest economy in the world.
Now this girl thinks that her state is the best, at least from what I can tell. She talks about her parents buying her a 30k dollar car. Wow, that impresses me.
Here’s the convo. Oh, and I am not a bad person for doing thi, just had to remove her from everyone’s lives like it should be.
[16:58] meeboguest145019: …
[16:59] dawnerd: …

[16:59] meeboguest145019: someone else’s site that says the same thing
[16:59] meeboguest145019: something more substantial than your word

[17:00] dawnerd: thought so
[17:00] meeboguest145019: he isnt dead
[17:00] dawnerd: no one else would really care
[17:00] meeboguest145019: don’t you dare fucking say that about nick
[17:00] dawnerd: why would I lie
[17:01] meeboguest145019: you’re just a piece of scum and it’s amazing he was ever even friends with you
[17:01] dawnerd: so is this what I get for rip’ing a friend?
[17:01] meeboguest145019: no, you talked about him
[17:01] meeboguest145019: he IS an amazing person, not was, he is still here there is no way you’re telling the truth
[17:02] dawnerd: you’re just going to wait until I have the pics
[17:02] meeboguest145019: he managed to get a girl 2000 miles away to fall in love with him for 2 years
[17:02] meeboguest145019: he is amazing
[17:02] dawnerd: until then, I think you should show a little consideration
[17:02] meeboguest145019: okay, well id love to see those pictures
[17:02] meeboguest145019: you’re the asshole saying id be the only person who cared
[17:03] dawnerd: you’re the only one who visits the blog on a daily basis
[17:03] meeboguest145019: yeah because it’s the only way I can hear anything about him
[17:04] meeboguest145019: how did nick kill himself then, if he did
[17:04] dawnerd: he hung himself
[17:05] meeboguest145019: no he did not
[17:05] meeboguest145019: you are going to hell
[17:05] dawnerd: it was after we did the last filming today
[17:05] meeboguest145019: how disgusting are you to make up stuff about your friend dying
[17:05] meeboguest145019: didnt nick flirt with katie all day? someone told me he did
[17:05] dawnerd: now here’s a question: How do you know that Nick, if he were here, would not be behind this for shit and giggles
[17:06] dawnerd: yea, Nick was in bed with her in the video
[17:06] dawnerd: probably shouldn’t have told you that
[17:06] meeboguest145019: told me what?
[17:06] dawnerd: nothing
[17:06] meeboguest145019: I know nick isn’t dead
[17:06] meeboguest145019: maybe he is playing with me
[17:06] dawnerd: in your world he is
[17:06] meeboguest145019: I know he doesn’t love me
[17:06] meeboguest145019: what does that mean?
[17:07] dawnerd: maybe the entire world is playing a sick and demented joke on you
[17:07] meeboguest145019: wtf
[17:07] dawnerd: maybe this entire thing was a ploy to get you pissed
[17:07] dawnerd: maybe I am telling the truth and Nick is really dead
[17:07] dawnerd: you would never really know
[17:07] meeboguest145019: it didnt make me mad
[17:07] meeboguest145019: I dont get “mad”
[17:07] dawnerd: never said it did
[17:08] dawnerd: no you just pms
[17:08] meeboguest145019: you dont even know me troy
[17:08] dawnerd: do I have to?
[17:08] meeboguest145019: yes, to assume I pms constantly
[17:08] meeboguest145019: you dont talk to me enough to know
[17:08] dawnerd: From what Nick told me…
[17:08] meeboguest145019: what did nick say?
[17:09] dawnerd: do you really want to know?
[17:09] dawnerd: I’m afraid it might hurt you
[17:09] meeboguest145019: I don’t mind
[17:09] dawnerd: ok well
[17:09] dawnerd: are you sure?
[17:09] meeboguest145019: yes
[17:09] meeboguest145019: I have to go soon, hurry it up
[17:09] dawnerd: really really certain?
[17:10] meeboguest145019: yes
[17:10] meeboguest145019: hurry up
[17:10] dawnerd: Nick said he only used you for nude pictures
[17:10] dawnerd: and he certainly got that, and he did share them with everyone
[17:10] meeboguest145019: that’s funny because I didnt give him that many
[17:10] dawnerd: I would say you did
[17:10] meeboguest145019: ok did he say anything else?
[17:10] dawnerd: many
[17:11] meeboguest145019: if he said anything else tell me
[17:11] meeboguest145019: I am quite interested
[17:11] dawnerd: I’m going to
[17:11] dawnerd: checking chat logs
[17:11] meeboguest145019: and if he isn’t dead, I got the joke, take down that entry
[17:11] dawnerd: what joke?
[17:12] dawnerd: now let me ask you something
[17:12] dawnerd: if you think you can actually fall in love with someone over the internet and maintain a full functioning relationship… how?
[17:12] dawnerd: How do you expect a guy to not become interested with more mature females and better looking ones?
[17:15] dawnerd: It’s ok if you don’t want to answer that, I already know the answer
[17:15] meeboguest145019: I look pretty damn good troy, better than anything you could get
[17:15] meeboguest145019: no offense
[17:16] dawnerd: Ok, you got me there. But I’m not after girls your age anyways.
[17:16] dawnerd: Or girls who live in hick states, but you know
[17:16] meeboguest145019: Right, and you’re jesus because you’re a year and a half older than me.
[17:16] dawnerd: actually, I’m a lot older than that
[17:17] meeboguest145019: I don’t really care how old you are troy, I know you aren’t anything remarkable or that much older than I am
[17:17] dawnerd: Age is a big divider in the younger ages
[17:17] meeboguest145019: your ploy to hurt me isn’t working; nick and I have been over for ages, I cheated on him way back in October–and even if he did use me, what’s happened is what happened
[17:17] meeboguest145019: I can’t take it back and I won’t regret it
[17:17] dawnerd: the difference between someone 16 and 17 is amazing
[17:17] meeboguest145019: I have no regrets
[17:18] dawnerd: then why do you check my blog everyday?
[17:18] meeboguest145019: I still care about him, I always will, but we are over
[17:18] meeboguest145019: we have been
[17:18] meeboguest145019: I’m with ryan
[17:18] dawnerd: I’m glad you realized that
[17:18] meeboguest145019: October 6th
[17:19] meeboguest145019: so can you admit nick isnt dead?
[17:19] dawnerd: November the fifth – DOWN WITH PARLIAMENT
[17:19] dawnerd: nope
[17:19] dawnerd: can’t do that
[17:19] meeboguest145019: Okay, I’ll be looking for those pictures
[17:19] dawnerd: oh and btw, this convo is going on the blog
[17:19] dawnerd: because you know, it really shows your character
[17:20] meeboguest145019: Okay
[17:20] dawnerd: I hope you show it to this “Ryan”
[17:20] meeboguest145019: it’s not like I said anything bad, or lied
[17:20] dawnerd: I’m sure he would agree with me
[17:20] meeboguest145019: I don’t think so
[17:20] dawnerd: well, then you are perfect for each other
[17:20] meeboguest145019: I was with ryan 3 years before I met nick
[17:20] dawnerd: you were what, 9?
[17:20] dawnerd: creappy
[17:20] meeboguest145019: nope nope
[17:20] dawnerd: creepy*
[17:21] meeboguest145019: 13, 14, 15.. nick .. and now him again
[17:21] dawnerd: nick isn’t a number
[17:21] meeboguest145019: that’s true
[17:21] meeboguest145019: maybe you aren’t intelligent enough to understand what I’m saying
[17:21] dawnerd: or maybe I am more intellegent that you think and am being overly sarcastic
[17:22] meeboguest145019: you can put this on your blog, as long as you put R***
[17:22] meeboguest145019: nick will know who it is
[17:22] meeboguest145019: if he’s the one you’re out to hurt after you failed with me
[17:22] dawnerd: is it ok if I post your contact info too?
[17:22] dawnerd: and your ftp password?
[17:23] meeboguest145019: no
[17:23] dawnerd: well, I am
[17:23] dawnerd: and Nick told me to
[17:23] meeboguest145019: there’s nothing on my subdomain
[17:23] dawnerd: [17:22] client.1: you know troy it’s kind of pointless to argue with an immature 15 year olf pmsing insane girl
[17:23] dawnerd: I wouldn’t know
[17:23] dawnerd: I’ve never used it, I just possess the information
[17:24] meeboguest145019: Okay, well, that domain isn’t mine so it wouldn’t be me youd fuck with
[17:24] meeboguest145019: youd be pissing Dianna off, not me
[17:24] dawnerd: And would I care?
[17:24] meeboguest145019: obviously, if this is an attack on me
[17:25] meeboguest145019: you’re not doing a very good job
[17:25] dawnerd: no one said I was attacking you
[17:25] meeboguest145019: and tell nick I said fuck you
[17:25] meeboguest145019: he’s just upset I got better dick than his
[17:25] dawnerd: you never got him so you wouldn’t know
[17:25] meeboguest145019: I could do much better than nick anyways
[17:25] meeboguest145019: he’s not that attractive by means of “hot”
[17:26] dawnerd: how, your a female, he’s a male
[17:26] meeboguest145019: I can get better looking guys than nick
[17:26] dawnerd: well, not in California, but whatever floats your boat
[17:26] meeboguest145019: Ryan looks a lot better, ryan actually works out and wears clothes that aren’t all FOX ZOMG
[17:26] dawnerd: I have to cut off here
[17:27] meeboguest145019: california has nothing to do with this
[17:27] dawnerd: I have better things to do
[17:27] meeboguest145019: you are so retarded
[17:27] dawnerd: such as laugh at how stupid you are
[17:27] meeboguest145019: actually, intellectually, I am a lot smarter than you
[17:27] meeboguest145019: you are average laced with sarcasm
[17:27] dawnerd: how? Your in such a low ranking state?
[17:28] meeboguest145019: My money is worth just as much as yours, TN or CA
[17:28] dawnerd: wow, talkign to you makes me stupid
[17:28] meeboguest145019: I still paid 30k for my mercedes
[17:28] dawnerd: who said money was involved?
[17:28] dawnerd: but if you want to go there
[17:28] meeboguest145019: um, you made it that way a couple days ago
[17:28] meeboguest145019: “yeah well you live in a hick state so it doesnt matter that you have more money than me”
[17:28] dawnerd: buying a car is great, however it’s value deprecated once you buy it
[17:28] meeboguest145019: So what if I live in the south? it makes me culturally diverse
[17:28] dawnerd: is your property worth as much as a shack in california
[17:28] dawnerd: I doubt it
[17:29] dawnerd: no, it makes you a hick, we all know that
[17:29] meeboguest145019: lolz you don’t know what you’re talking about troy
[17:29] dawnerd: you right, It’s not geek tlak
[17:29] dawnerd: sorry, hard to type while I’m laughing
[17:29] meeboguest145019: I wouldn’t get too confident
[17:29] dawnerd: am I getting to you yet?
[17:29] meeboguest145019: no not really
[17:29] dawnerd: well, then this is a waste of time
[17:29] meeboguest145019: I’m with one of my friends, maybe if I was by myself you would have annoyed me
[17:30] dawnerd: well, I hope your friend is laughing as much as I
[17:30] meeboguest145019: I am a very laid back person, despite what you seem to think with this PMS nonsense
[17:30] dawnerd: so you’re a lazy gold digger
[17:30] dawnerd: perfect
[17:30] dawnerd: goes along with your 30k car
[17:30] meeboguest145019: no no! I am not lazy.
[17:30] dawnerd: pos car might I add
[17:31] meeboguest145019: I’m sure it’d own any car youll have
[17:31] dawnerd: sure, I really don’t care
[17:31] meeboguest145019: I got it a week ago as a christmas present, it’s brand new, it has a supercharged engine
[17:31] dawnerd: I don’t feel like driving at 20mpg, I’d rather drive an efficient cheap car and save money
[17:31] meeboguest145019: it’s 29 MPG
[17:31] dawnerd: Ohhhhh look, my parents have money!!!!
[17:31] meeboguest145019: I know!!
[17:32] meeboguest145019: It’s so great@!
[17:32] dawnerd: have you actually tested it, because the rating are always wrong
[17:32] meeboguest145019: No, I haven’t, but even if it was 2 MPG i wouldn’t give a shit
[17:32] dawnerd: anyways, I must go, I have work to do
[17:33] meeboguest145019: right, well, get some liposuction. and tell nick not to cut his hair anymore, he already looks bald
[17:33] dawnerd: will do
[17:33] meeboguest145019: I must go drive my friend and I to chilis in my pretty, black, new, sleek, mercedes sports carta ta troy, you are such a sweetheart.
RIP: Nick
December 19, 2006
Today is a sad day. Our very own Nick has passed, for real. He left us with a message for Samantha:
Dear Sam,
I know I was an utter rude person the last few weeks of my life, but you should know that this will no longer be a problem. I just couldn’t take those pictures you sent me; the videos. They will all be made public upon my death. Just wanted to let you know. Time is over for me. Good bye…
I only wish I had the pictures and videos to make public as Nick wanted. His familycould use some support. If you want, you can send them anice donation. It cost to bury someone.
Nick really isn’t dead, but you are free to send him money.
Gamers – Day 2
December 19, 2006
We shot for two hours, actually just one. So it really wasn’t a day at all. Of course I wasted an hour because I left the tapes at my house. But we did get most of what we needed shot, and what we still need can’t happen because David never told me his schedule.
That’s all fine though, I have enough to start editing with. I would also like to give thanks to Kari for providing emotional support to Katie for the last shots (She really needed it. Nick was that bad in bed :O).
As for me, I sleep/eat/edit for the next day(s). When this is all set and done, we feast, or just party. It is winter break, and what’s a winter break without a party?
Gamers – Day 1
December 18, 2006
Well, shooting for today was a success, almost. The camera batteries ran dead during the last scene. We will continue tomorrow however, and re-shoot any needed scenes. Here’s what went down.
As usual, I showed up late, and took an hour or so setting up while everyone patiently waited. After a long wait, we finally get set up and shooting starts. Low and behold, David. He simply had far too much caffeine in one sitting and could hardly focus on the project at hand.
We struggled to get through the opening scene, but we did after an hour of fooling around. After realizing that time was running out we started to work a little faster. Once we got to Nick’s favorite scene, production went way down. All he wanted to do was lay in bed with Katie. The sad thing being, it will probably be the last and only time. He will at some point however be in the same bed with Tristan and/or Nassir. I must say, it was ‘cute’ seeing Nick cuddle with Katie. Actually, Nick and Katie have to get in bed again because Nick looked far to tense in the video. It’s actually somewhat funny. Video on Youtube sometime later.
After they made love in bed, Bryce and Katie started a boxing match; Katie of course won. To the park we went, leaving the equipment behind; which was later retrieved. It was cold. Really, cold. There were bums in the park, staring strangely at me like I was some famous director. Like I said above, we were so close to finishing the film, but the battery died.
I think the moral of the story is: “Always have a charged battery.”
Shooting will take place tomorrow at noon for Nick, Katie and Nassir. 1pm for Everyone else.
Wagner’s Plead – He Really Wants Me
December 16, 2006
So, I got the main today, and nothing out of the ordinary really. Bills, bills, more bills, aol cd, bills, lost children, renew your domain name now!, bill, to the parents of: Troy, bills.
Ok, you get my point, nothing special. I was expecting a letter from Wagner to move me into the place I belong, but I wasn’t expecting it to be a plead. So, why make you wonder what the letter says!
TO: Parent(s) of Troy … (Edited because I don’t like having my full name here :p )
FROM: Bill WagnerRE: Moving up to Wind Ensemble – 2nd period
Due to the improvements (if you want to call sitting waiting for the other players to match the talent of Scott and I) that Troy has shown during Concert Band and his level of commitment (I hope he knows marching band is over…), I would like to offer (bribe) him the opportunity to move up to the Wind Ensemble 2nd period (Save me from the hells of Friedman’s class). Because of the nature of the Wind Ensemble (Because I don’t practice), I would need Troy to play the school-owned euphonium (Because no one else will? I thought I already told you no!). The parts are exactly like playing trumpet (except not), just an octave lower (I knew there was a catch). I know he would do well (would? does he already know what my answer will be?) and I hope he welcomes this new challenge (if it’s like playing a trumpet, then where’s the challenge?).
This change would greatly benefit his playing (You mean your band) and also require a change of class challenge (no, not really. Video Productions is first period). This can only be done through the counseling office. I have sent them a copy of this letter (and they probably just filed it away…).
So, congratulations (thanks?) and I hope you will contact your counselor right away (I would, but I hear they bite) to schedule an appointment (during break?) to work Wind Ensemble into Troy’s schedule for second semester.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
(Scribble of signature)

So, what do you think? Should I take him up on this offer?
