Friday! -Hall-o-ween!

(It's like Halloween, but in a residence hall!)

I got my Hall-o-ween costume all ready for the weekend.  I'm gonna have t go by the Hokie Passport office at some point to see if I can get a picture there!

I also saw this guy  on campus today.  Juneau, beat that!

Wednesday - Fall is Here!

Its actually been here a while, but whatever.

Monday - A Still More Glorious Dawn Awaits

^I don't know what's up with that title.  Awfully dramatic if you ask me...

Cupcakes!

And cupcakes from a different view!  That's all I got! Maybe try again tomorrow?

Tuesday - I'm bad at schedules

I could claim I had problems reaching the site,
or that I just didn't feel quite right,
But that would we a lie,
I can't justify,
Why I didn't post 'til tonight.

Anyway, here we go!

On Friday, a big group of us went to The Homeplace Restaurant. 

Lots of good sothern food; fried chicken, country ham, macaroni, mashed potatoes, baked beans, and biscuits.

The view through the window at the restaurant.

The Dunkin Donuts in Hokie Grill is coming along nicely.

Thursday - Just Hanging Out

Terrible pun? Terrible pun!

Also, the sky from my window.

And finally, more pitiful, piss-poor poetry.

Wednesday - In which I wax lyrical

There once was a student at Tech,
smart as all get out and handsome as heck.
He writes a blog on the web,
which hundreds of people eagerly read.
(Okay,well its more like two,
but I didn't tell that to you)
He forgot to post last night,
but don't worry he'll make things right!
So if you want to know more about John,
Read on, dear viewer, read on...

Quesadillas and cookies and food galore,
I just keep making more and more!
My only worry is that,
I might start to get fat,
Cause cooking is never a bore.

I take a tortilla, some salsa, and cheese,
(Maybe some olives and chicken, too, please?)
Then I sit back and chill,
While my food's on the grill.
And best of all cleanup's a breeze.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Rhyming is hard,
Here's my Game Boy being powered by my Andyboard because I couldn't find any AA batteries

So now dear reader, we reach the end of the story,
the end of a day filled with honor and glory.
But fear not for the future: a new day awaits,
and whatever may come, it will surely be great!
As we depart, feel no sadness or sorrow,
for I will meet you once again on the morrow.

Tuesday - More Baked Goods (and some baked bads...)

That's right, even more baking! I actually did this over the weekend, but that doesn't matter in the slightest... 

I now present to you the wielders of the sugar-shurikens, the sole practitioners of tae kwon dough, the shadows who bake in the night...

Ninja-bread Men! (They're blurry because they're moving so fast...and poor lighting in the kitchen...)

Kroger just started stocking gingerbread mix in their seasonal goods sections, so I decided to purchase some and create the most delicious, and deadly, confections known to man!  Just look at that dough, so delicious! 

I got the cookie cutters as a gift, oh, about a year ago and I never got around to using them until know.  They come in three fear-inducing poses: flying kick, jab, and spinning kick!

On a completely unrelated note, I also made cupcakes!  In fact I may have even over-made them, with extra black crunchy bits on the bottom!  Oops.  But one they were iced, they were absolutely delicious (as long as you stayed away from the bottom part).

Monday - New Year, New Website!

You may have noticed that new URL up there, tfb.balefire.us.   I got a great deal on hosting ($10 a year) so I decided to get my own website, balefire.us.  There's not actually anything on that page, just a placeholder, but I have great things planned for it, great things...  Ha! I have no idea what I'm doing! Anyways, here we go!

I had an interview this afternoon with Kollmorgen, a manufacturer of motion systems and components for original equipment manufacturers worldwide.  I feel that it went pretty well.

They called me crazy, they said I was insane, they said Chocolate Chocolate Chip muffins were chocolaty enough already.  Chocolate Chocolate Chip muffins with chocolate milk; pure madness!

I mean look at that rich, delicious batter (and of course the special batter-stirring spork!)  Its practically perfect!

And of course, once I start making muffins, its hard to stop.  So I also made some delicious Wildberry muffins.

And here they are all cooked and delicious!  They looked fantastic and tasted even better!
