Good job, self

I've been a pretty decent absentee blogger lately. When I logged in today I even found a half-finished draft titled "Straight-to-the-Internet Post." HILARIOUS IRONY. Hilarirony.

I
am
done
with
classes
and I will be spending exponentially more time on the internet starting tonight after my dance show. That will be a video I can hopefully post!

Meanwhile, my foster dogs, who are totally lesbionic for each other, have stopped wrestling and are now currently on top of each other/the couch and silently biting at each others' open mouths. I didn't even think animals without lips could make out. I'm third-wheeling the hell out of this living room right now.

See you all tonight with the first actual shisha review in, what, months?
I have to go sort screws or something equivalently mundane at my drama dept. job, where I'm normally put to use playing with saws and telling other people how they are building it wrong. *gasp* A DOWNSIDE to the end of the academic year! Oh, Pessimism, I knew I could count on you.

Also, I applied to be a contributor to the website of the previously-extolled nerd, bloggist, and purveyor of sexytimes Chris Hardwick. Nerdist.com was once just a blog and will now soon be a blogging empire, the likes of which I would happily build pyramids for until the end of my malnourished, overworked days.
Wish me luck! Or, quite possibly, HI CHRIS.

Lap-Barf With Tea

You know, how, sometimes, you study REAL REAL hard on just a couple of things for an exam? They're the things you know you don't know and you devote virtually all your time and attention to them and after a while you actually feel really confident about them? And then you go to actually take your final and the prof asks absolutely nothing about those things and has, say, 2.5 pages on things you forgot about entirely?
Yeah, that just happened to me.
Ordinarily, I call that and other forms of ridiculously bad performance "barfing in my lap" on an exam, but ever since my friend Nathan had to take his finals with some sort of stomach virus and actually projectile vomited all over his lap/desk/test I have to watch my words. In my context though, I barfed in my lap. It's too bad 'cause I didn't particularly like econ, but the teacher was great and very helpful and I was kicking ass and taking names at the beginning of the semester.

Shooort review today guys, I have other things on my mind.

HookaH-HookaH - Chai

In the box: Well, it doesn't smell like chai. It smells rich, spicy, pretty minty as a matter of fact. but not like chai which I thought they could have gotten spot on.
In the bowl: Nnnngggg... Not a fan. The only herb I'm getting out of this muddled flavor is anise, and we all know how I feel about that. It's just not chai. It might be pretty nice for those among us that like licoriceyness, because I will say that the mildewy, unavoidable, all-consumuing vibe that anise-heavy flavors rock like their favorite pair of cutoffs is surprisingly absent. So 1, it took me some time to realize what I was tasting and 2, it was the most enjoyable black licorice encounter I've ever had to date. Still not good. Why couldn't it just be, oh, chai?

Hookah-Hookah Chai: 1/5 stars
Because I mean come on, guys. It's chai. It's right there. This tobacco wasn't on par in smell nor taste and it was nasty to boot. At least the smell/taste is there if you're feeling it.

Tra la la. There'll be a lot more of me falling in a forest with no one around to hear it in the coming week since finals suck and all, but jeez louise does it leave me with a lot of free time. TTFN.

Wanted: Snappy Title for smooth, Thanksgiving-ripe blend

TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESTSSSSSSSSSSS.

Jesus, it's as if I'm still catching up from having H1N1 or something. How gross.

Other than that things are good, and I've been spending time with lady friends instead of just the boys (and Stacey) in improv. It's surprisingly refreshing, given ow my entire childhood has led me to the conclusion that though boys are dumb, they're a lot easier to be around than girls, who are to varying degrees all batshit insane.

*rifles through notebook* Do I have any straight flavors for you today? Lessee... no! I've got some catching up to do it seems.

Becky's Shisha Kitchen!
Recipies of Delicious Smoking

I need a name for this one fellows! Yeah, you, the ones that leave ceaseless comments on every post. *sigh* I can dream, right?

_____?_____

Spiced. Chocolate. Rum. Is it a thing? No not really. But it's delicious in tobacco. Mix equal parts Chocolate, Irish Cream, and Pumpkin Pie and you're down for something Autumny, to be assured.
THE RESULT: Definite thickness to the taste. At first it's kind of like burnt chocolate or spiced chocolate which I'm a fan of. The Irish Cream is subtle, doing more for the texture than the flavor - and that is making it very creamy and even lightening it up. Chocolate and Pumpkin Pie kind of switch hit as the main component and that's okay.
It went over real well in my circle, if I do say so myself.

Chocolate + Pumpkin Pie + Irish Cream = ___Name me pls.___

Now get outta my kitchen.

Also! Just (i.e. while in the process of writing this) made an exciting purchase... snagged one of the finalists from the HookaH-HookaH [.com] Blend Off competition! Wasn't going to spring for the whole 10-pack of finalists (though by God you should if you have money I don't becuse they sound DELICIOUS every one) but I chose Mad Hatter for the sheer wet dreams factor of the ingredients/description. Also got a little 50g 5-er because they'd just sent me a 10% of coupon code. To include: Acai, Chai, Orange, Hazelnut and Spearmint. Whoo hoo! 6 guaranteed-to-be-perfect flavors for $25 including outrageous online shipping? I'll call it a win.
