Thanks for the recipe, but that's taking laziness to new heights. Please don't mug me.

oh no, i admit the depths of laziness to which I have sunk.

I just wanted to get it out while i was thinking of it and iddnt feel like trying to figure out what of his e-mails is the good one now.

Was considering leaving it as a comment to oneof his lj posts, but thought some other people might like it.

Gotta start wearing gloves when i spar with rant. got three scraped knuckles, bruised thumbnail-bed and a crazy-deep blister. makes the typing hard.

Those black kickboxer gloves: The Way of God. (And they have them for small handed people as well.) The only down side is they are kinda expensive.

Although the blister will get better if you just fight more. :-)

Most of the time when my hands get hurt it's on the last (unprotected even by kickboxer gloves) joint of my fingers. But yeah, this isnt the first time the actual knuckles have been bruised enough to end my day's fighting, so it's time to break down and get the big-cushy gloves.

And I've torn this spot on my hand too deep too many times to think it'll ever thicken up there.

You gonna be able to come out to the park on Sunday?

[nettle1981.livejournal.com]

Planning on it, but who knows? Sometimes I don't get out of work on Sat. until 9am.

What, precisely, is lazy about this? It's not even like she used the *canned* yellow curry sauce, like I would do if I tried this. (Because that poor little can has been sitting in my pantry since before I moved.)

[ladyjanelly.livejournal.com]

He's not chiding me for the recipe, but the using lj instead of e-mail.

I think.

Anyway, the curry paste is pretty much "canned," it just doesnt have the coconut to give it liquidity (if that's not a word, it should be). I'm working on making my own paste, but it's a hard quest for some of the ingredients.

[yonihamagid.livejournal.com]

I am.

It's a word, and while it means precisely what you meant it to mean, it is usually used in a financial context.
