La la la ...

I'm off to see Iron Man again with my brother. And this time I'm actually going to buy popcorn and soda and settle in and just generally have a good time since last time I didn't have anybody to geek out about it with. \o/

And now, word counts!

What should have been my Bigbang:

13,394 / 20,000 (67.0%)

Of course, that total's just a guess, because I know I'm going to get to 20k, it's only a matter of how much more words it takes for me to finish it.

Also, my novel:

39,454 / 100,000 (39.5%)

So my mom gave me her chow mein recipe.

Beef Chow Mein

2 hunks beef (My mom gave me a London broil to use as the beef, so I imagine that's about the size she means)
2 stalks celery
3 lbs. onions
1/2 bottle soy sauce
ginger to sprinkle
cornstarch
seasoning and broth (I assume she means boullion cubes here, since that's what she told me to get)
2 cans bean sprouts

( Rest of recipe )

I cut back on the onions if only because I don't like a whole lot of onions in anything, and the same goes with the bean sprouts. I'm cooking it now so we'll see how it turns out when I make it. I usually put it over those La Choy noodles. I could live off beef chow mein the way my mom makes it, so I really hope I can manage to make it without screwing anything up. :)

EDIT: Urgh. I just spent the past twenty minutes trying to clear smoke out of the kitchen because the bottom of the pan burned. Blah. I hate that frickin' pot. For some reason that one smokes the second you turn around.

AW.

Awwwwwwwwww.

Brothers and Sisters is KILLING me.

AW. Awwwwwwwwwww. D'awwwwww.
