Day D... Dreadful

Today, we had a  masseuse course  classes, this time it was Protection At Work.

I almost   wished we had an Anatomy instead, because   the guy who   was teaching   didn't get the  things done as he should have.    First, if we have  Protection at Work, or better Workplace,  then he  darn should have been   speaking about that,   but instead, we got a glorified version of sports Medicine  two hours total, and most of us were baffled about his babblings.   I can say for me I  am relatively well educated -  somewhat of a jack of all trades, but this  class took the cake.   It didn't help that I am deaf, and the guy was yammering as if he  had a mileage to do with his tongue -  he was  apparently impatient to get out of the classroom - we did get some  examples of how to  test the reflexes, some do's and don't's but  when I asked  about  situations when   it's absolutely not advisable  to  massage the patient, then he began to blather something I am still unsure about, but   was not important, as he didn't talk about my   question in a clear and concise way.   And really, this guy is a doctor with some... what  40  years of practice under his belt?  I asked him  if  a patient with arthritis or  osteoporosis or  muscle atrophy was   a bad candidate for a massage, but instead of that I got a detailed  explanation of what were those things and some  additional holier-than-thou yammering that made me inwardly twitch  at the absurdity. And to the top of it all, the guy  ended  the class half an  hours before  it should have been ended -   well, that was  the only blessing  in the entire farce of a class we had today.

Really... I am wondering just how would we  get through the test on Monday....depressingly enough,  I am not confident we would make it  in one go. Thankfully,  I had invested in two books about massage and I would have to see  if I can mysteriously procure some scripts to get the holes done and over with.

And maybe .... kindly... suggest to our coordinator to get the  damn man to write some script for the poor us who take this class and save the next generations  the waste of time  that is called  Protection  at Workplace  class.

/Shakes head/ For crying out loud, the   man isn't even a masseuse.  What the actual   fuck was he doing  lecturing  to the future masseuses about the subject he doesn't know shit about? Sports Medicine is whole lot of a different bricks than  Protection At Workplace and even  a third-grader would have  conducted the class better.   To the top of it all, he didn't even have   lists  with  main points, Power Point  presentation....  he just blathered on.

Bright points of the day  -   Got  a good dinner in the shape of  French salad, toast  and  banana smoothie.  I swear, my  big bro missed his true calling.  Instead of  being an  electric engineer, he should have become a chef.  /mournful shake of head/.  Pity.   But hell, yeah got a good recipe outta this for the smoothie, so the day is not   lost  :D



BANANA SMOOTHIE  VUCKO STYLE

Ingredients:

2 bananas

2 kiwis

2 apples

 1 plain yogurt

Whipped cream -  for whipping (If you are lazy or don't have time,  the canned one is also good enough)

Milk

 The amount of ingredients  used is enough for  two persons... well, at least for  us two was enough.

Preparation:

 Peel the bananas and cut them in the pieces, do the same for the kiwis and apples -   with apples,   you also remove apple seeds before you  cut them in smaller pieces.  Get the  cut fruit into the food processor and add  yogurt.  Add   as much  milk as you want -  we used  for one  cappucino cup of milk - or  at least I think so.   If you want to have  a  thicker mixture, then you add   less milk,  and if you want more liquid one,  then you  add more milk.  It's all about  your preference.  You can also  switch milk  with yogurt if you don't have enough milk, and  if you are  fond of milk,   you can  let out the yogurt. if you are lactose intolerant, you  can left out the dairy products and  add plain water. You just have to add more fruit then to  achieve the  thicker mixture if you are fond of it.

Blend it together and  meanwhile whip the cream.  When the smoothie is finished, pour it in the cocktail  glasses or  cappuccino cups if you don't have  cocktail glasses,  decorate with the  whipped cream... and enjoy!

For  those who really can't  go without the choco goodness, you can sprinkle on  some grate chocolate, or, if you are really a health nut,  then you can also go with powdered cinnamon.   If you are a lover of spicy  things -  I know I am -  you can add chili. however, last variant is a little questionable -   I am a lover of  spicy  things, so my  taste buds can be a little skewered. 

The entire preparation lasts some 15 minutes,  10 if you  already have prepared  fruit and have a canned tin of  whipped cream handy.

 Bon Appetite!

Bitchitude Day, My Way

If there was  ever  a day, made soley for bitching and  pimp slaps,  it would be  right this day. sadly, as far as I know,  no Bitchitude Day was officially   announced as a national holiday, so poor little ole me would have to be satisfied with  this blog as to mark the momentous  happenings that is called  Bitch day, Bitchin' day  or, my  recent  reluctantly favorite, Bitchitude day.

Bitchitude. In urban dictionary it's defined as a bitchy attitude.  Meaning,  smart-ass personality,  general grumpiness with  a side dish of sarcasm  and general bitterness about the world.

Well, then, my bitchitude day  officially  begun  last night, when  some  snoopy parent entered my sanctuary called  a room  to happily announce  high score in solitary and in process interrupt my  Internet schmoozin'.   meaning, I was on Internet, happily reading, and lo and behold,  dear parent comes, against my express  permission, to   announce the silliness... and promptly forbids me  from Internet.  Bitchin'.  And yes,  for your information, that  was  sarcasm.

What the fuck does the  person have to do to get  some  uninterrupted net time without  happy announcement of  'I Did It-!"  from  the parents? Gee, at this rate, when I get a boyfriend  there is almost 95-percent chance I would be  interrupted mid-coitus  because of  one of   the parent's 'I Did It!'  moments, or even worse "Oops,  I Think I  Messed Up The  Laptop - Help, Pretty Pwease?'  Not helping that I did my  research last night,   and officially  getting through the day  with only two hours of solid sleep at night, and still having to listen  that  the dear parent in question   didn't sleep ALL  night  and   would you please be more gentle, polite, etc. 

Fuck no.

Didn't help I began the  masseuse course and  having  four  hours of almost uninterrupted lessons of  Anatomy, which is,  right along the  Math and Algebra the bitchiest  course  ever in the history of the  courses. And believe me, I  had my  fair  share of them.   And to top off this sour cherry,   one of the prerequisites for  actually  entering the course was....  whaddya know,   Anatomy again! or before, but let's   leave the semantics for now.   I was almost half brain-dead by the end of it, then waiting on  the  said parent to get off of the meeting,  and my bladder  was not very happy with me, and I was even less happy with  the parent..../Narrowed  eyes/.    Just peachy.

The next day -  today,   they delivered the repaired  washing machine, which,    my other parent in all of their  glorious wisdom, ordered to be delivered at the unholy hour of  7 AM.  So I was thrown out of my  so very comfy and warm  bed at 6 AM with the orders to get  going if I want to wash... and lo and behold, the  delivery guy  comes exactly at  6.30  AM.   Just bitchin'.   Luckily I didn't need to primp myself much, but really, would kill the delivery guy to be on time when he  is ordered to?   If it were me, I would have  told him to get going and come back at decent hour -  decent, for me,  means  some 10 in the morning when there's a weekend, and really,  this just kicked my Sunday morning into proverbial nuts.  Listening to the parent yammering about  achy back,  and other standard bits -  meaning I didn't listen  too well, as I was on my was for the new bout of torture session   known as an Anatomy.

Caught the  bus home,  and  later in the day, bitched at  brother because  he apparently needed me to get the French salad done.  Seriously?  if he doesn't like the lunch, he  is able to  get his food done -  bloody medium or rare,  I don't need to be involved in every little bit of it every time  he  concocts  the French salad.

Then, he bitched about  my other parent and silliness of having two  cars -  I admit, I agree  with him, but on the other side, the parent also is right, but  to see the  two to  acknowledge the opposite viewpoint is an exercise in futility, and I must be  insane to  still attempt to make them to see it.  /Weary  sigh + rolling eyes heavenward./  Jeee-zus.   How the  world even exists with the  two of them alive,  kicking and bitching, and in close quarters too, I will never know.   I just wonder if they would have survived on the lone island and cuffed together.

Dumb asses, the two of them.

On the brighter side,  I have an idea for the  ATHD, however it would involve the fair amount of work to be presentable.   And of course....  I gotta  learn all the  bones, muscles and what not.

Oh, Bitch.

 With that said, I am giving the the King of  Bitchitude.... Genesis Rhapsodos!

Genesis in all his glory... now the even the photo editor is mocking me.... Just bitchin'..

Will add the actual photo when the blog   photo editor will  quit his rebellious stage.... honestly, hormones.  Didn't know the technology had them. Well, whaddya know,   you  learn something new every day.

Work In Progress

Aw, hell. /Glares at the half-finished chapters/.

 Right now on Among The Hawks And Doves -  lucky chapter  seven.  Half-written already,   but seems I will have to add some things to round it up.  

One of the readers pissed me off with  remark my other  work, Crimson Sagittarius will be next updated in year 2013. Just for that, I am tempted to  delay  the actual launch of the  chapter, just to show the berk up.   Begun  the  chapter, but ATHD has  priority for now.

Fire and Ice  has the next chapter sent to the unmercy of my beta, the awesome MHB.  Seriously lucked out  with her -  thank God for her, otherwise my works would still be spastic little shits, riddled  with grammatic errors.   Now pondering just how the hell can I write her  HP/Firefly crossover she is so persistently hounding me  over for.  And yeah, she wants smut.  Sometimes I think the 'net is  other  name for Perverts Anonymous, but in the name of procreation of   human race and quality fanficition, I am willing to  overlook that fact. /Fake long-suffering sigh./ Yeah, love smut.  Shame it can be a bitch and a half to write without sounding too pornographic...

Off for now,

Eirenei

Reluctant RevUp

 Do you have the time
To listen to me whine
About nothing and everything
All at once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone
No doubt about it


('Basket Case', by Green Day)

Well, hell.  

 This is some kind of a  project for me to record my ups and downs, highs and lows and   be generally a loveable  basket case  I am  in my real life.    Because  every once in a while I am tired of being a nice person, but since  bitching is largerly  frowned upon in our society,  I am  undermining the rules by the means of creating this particular blog.

What will I  write about here?  Mainly  my writing projects, everyday occurences,  problems, the days when  it's  all  goes smoothly and  some days when everything  goes to the  deep end in a hurry. 

Who am I?  I am  tempted to   write that I am  just a kid, but that would be   outright lie, so...  alright, I  am half grown-up kid.   I don't  think  being between twenties and thirties  could count as a   grown up  years and besides,  the people still see me  like some  eighteen year old brat..../sweatdrop/ I am not helping my image, am I?

Likes?  Reading manga,  listening to the music, watching the stars,  snoozing in my  favorite sunspot,   sometimes talking with people. Also, my pet cat Riki and to a lesser  extent,  our German Shepherd, Sani.  Also... writing.

Dislikes?  Being woken up,  cold places, cold in general, with exception of  cold drinks and ice cream,   time of an internet curfew or when internet is gutted,  the notion I gotta be  grown up all the time and not understanding what  people are talking to me about.  I am deaf, so this is  really a problem for  me.  Oh, and  Math with creepy crawlies.  Yuck. 

Hobbies?  Um... Er....  do  any of the  past ones count?   Well,  currently it's  writing fanfiction,  I also had a short binge on painting and drawing, and I still have to finish the tapestry or whatmacallit is the thing with needles and  threads... hopefully I will  finish it soon, but I am not exactly counting on it.   And reading.   You can almost always find me  either  with computer or in a library trying to scavenge the newest books   for reading and  getting more  ideas for my own writings.

Nicknames?  Hm...  Depends on who  calls me.    Sometimes is  just  'You!', but that is when my elder brother calls on me for something.   In the beginning of my  penpal career I chose alias of Rain.  Still holds. My penpal  graciously  gifted me  the name of  'Rena, while my beta, when she wants   rile me up, calls me a bitch.  Charming, no?  But otherwise?  Dogsbody, Shika, Shikamaru..... but  usually, I am being  found on 'net under the name of Eirenei.

Fanfiction?   Hm... Hell,  yeah.   Present and reading since .... let's see,  that was still the era of Windows  '98.... 'scuse me, I am not very good with  years.   Hm....  Some eleven years and counting.   I stumbled upon it  by chance, as I was wildly curious of the pairing of  Vegeta and Bulma  from DragonBall Z, which later  evolved into being wildly curious about Vegeta and Goku from the self same anime.   And from then on,  as they say, it was history.   I swear, my first intentions were pure -  like not driven-yet snow - just improving my English, because I was  a horrible pants  with it, on  the point of being threatened to be actually thrown out of the school if I don't  improve it.   Hated the idea of learning all the verbs and  times and whatever else  English language consisted of.  I could read just fine, but   learning grammar was  torture.   Still, did it and  now it's my guilty pleasure to   drive my mom bonkers with it -  she  is expert in German,  while me and my brother  have dominion over English. Mwahaha.  /Ahem/.   Still, I wonder what would my  old  English teachers say,    what with me abusing their well-meaning teachings to write   smut -  and not only that, but a smut of  homosexual variant....? /Ponders/.   Well, Mum did threaten  me  to  get one of them  to translate one of my projects when she was  pissed off /sheepish/, but  let's not  even get there, yeah?     Now, I am proud owner of some  58 works  and counting with a plethora of plotdragons to boot.   I intend to write original works too, but for now... I am almost swamped with the little critters  I have to groom, feed and  write  out to readers' satisfaction.   And this  blog will document the process.

Brave enough to  accompany me on my crazy journeys? Then, dear reader, do go on. 

Signing off,
