Day 376: Shrimp & Noodles

Today I pulled some stuff out of my freezer and made dinner.

First, I cooked shrimp.


Next, I added a mix of noodles and veggies.


Finally, I added some sauce and gobbled it up.


It would've been better with fresh veggies, but I went with what I had, and it was still pretty good. I even gave Guinness one of the little shrimps, and she loved it.

Day 374: Origami Improv

Today I tried to make a neat little origami box, but I think the cardstock I used was too heavy to handle all the folds. Here's what it should've ended up like:


Mine didn't quite get that far, so I decided it's a bowl instead of a box.


The underside looks good at least.


And mine's in color, unlike the one in the picture.

Day 373: All Kinds of Crazy Web Page Making

Today I have more web pages to share. I made these for my web design class, and they meet all kinds of crazy requirements.

First: http://senna.sjsu.edu/lmain/melleny/assignment5a.html
This page has been created using multiple style sheets so it can be resized all the way down to a mobile phone browser. Try it on your phone and see! Or just squish your browser down to phone size. It's only the one page, so none of the links across the top actually go anywhere.

Second: http://senna.sjsu.edu/lmain/melleny/assignment5b.html
This page was done using HTML5, and it won't look right to you unless you use the Chrome browser (which is awesome and I use it all the time anyway so you should too), because those other browsers are uncool and far behind the times. It also has a super-duper video that you'll miss out if you don't get with the Chrome program. Chromegram?

I'm running out of themes for my sample web pages. I've used martial arts, crafting, my favorite authors, and cheetahs. I guess I can still rely on sushi, bartending, and cheese.

Day 372: Poppies Will Make Them Sleep

Today I baked again. I was home sick, and mentally taxing pursuits weren't working out so well, so I decided to throw some stuff in a bowl, mix it up, and bake it in my never-before-used muffin tin.

I made almond poppyseed muffins, because that's the best kind of muffin. Here's the stuff mixed in a bowl:


And here's my muffin tin ready to go:


And here's the fresh deliciousness right out of the oven:


I ate two immediately, and then I took a nap. I can't say if it was the poppies that made me sleep or the vicious cold, but the flying monkeys tell me it was the former.

Day 370: Giraffigami

Today I made an origami giraffe using paper and instructions I got yesterday at Daiso, one of the best stores ever.


He's so adorable, with his tiny tail and perky ears and triangular legs.

I also bought Happy! Lovely! Socks and a Frog*Note. Everything $1.50 each!
