thistlechaser: (WoW Thack)
Last weekend I didn't cook. I had too much stuff to eat before it went bad, so I didn't need to make additional stuff on top of that. This weekend not only did I cook, I did something I vowed never to do: Cooked without a recipe. OooOOOooooOOOooo! *spooky noises*

Amazingly, it turned out fine. Would have been great, if I hadn't semi-burnt it. Hours and hours of watching cooking shows sunk in! I made chicken cutlets: Cut the breasts thinner, pounded them (alas this was at 9 AM so I didn't want to pound too much and disturb the neighbors, so they didn't get as thin as I would have liked). Dipped them in milk, bread crumbs, egg, crumbs again, into the pan.

The first batch I made into chicken parm, but somehow the spices in the "Italian style bread crumbs" clashed with the spices in the jarred sauce. For dinner I ate more of them, but plain. Were very yummy, other than being burnt. (I let the pan get too hot.)

Bonus: I have enough for two more meals. Yay!

Stargate: Universe continues to be the best show on TV. Not only are the plots and characters amazing, they use the best music ever! This week's song. All this music I never heard before, but totally love.

The plots are sooooooo good. I'm getting close to the point of saying SG:U is better than BSG (basically they're the same though, really really similar plots and settings). The characters though! Rush is the best character on any show I've seen in a long time. Is he a bad guy? Is he a good guy? So complex! So interesting! :D :D

WoW: I can't say much about my current project on the game, other than it's killing my enjoyment of the game. Yesterday I was on the trade channel for about 14 hours. The day before, 10 hours. Gods above, this subset of WoW players are stupid. Stupid, spammy, awful little human beings. Mean, stupid, full of themselves, clueless and trying to sound like experts. I'd gleefully strangle 99.9999% of them. Ugh.

I suspect I may be recommending this series every time I see a new ep. *cough* It's just that good!

This week we started out with a wonderful band I hadn't heard of before: Flogging Molly! Odd, odd name, but cool sound (American Celtic). - The Worst Day Since Yesterday opened the show, and man wasn't it a fitting start for the ep! (And fit for the series as a whole!)

I'm always happy to see a same-sex couple featured in a show, though I do have to be depressed that it's always two women (OMG, two men as a couple would be wrong! Evil! A sin!). But man, same-sex-yay'ness aside, the two women were so sweet and so in love and so cute together! Eee!

Every ep my love for Rush grows. He's so morally challenged! Is he a good guy? Is he a bad? Is he neither because neither would be what's best for him 100% of the time? (Hint hint: #3.)

Like Battlestar Galactica had been, SG:U works because it's so darned dark that one little bright spot seems all the brighter -- how could just a couple-second moment involving a tiny little non-plotty thing be so heartwarming? Small spoiler for this week's ep )

I noticed it's following BSG's format as well. Ep starts with a plot bit, then a bit of credits, then another plot bit, then more of the weekly credits/intro before the ep finally rolls.

Really, really, really loving this show. It's so dark and satisfying, with interesting characters and just wow. :D It's my current favorite show on TV, by far.
