“The Wheel of Time turns, and ages come and go. In one age, called the Blog Age by some, an age yet to come, an age-long past, a small wind blew upon a blog called Psychodaisy X. But the wind is not the beginning. For there is no beginning nor end to the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning…”

So I was looking at the history of this blog. Out of curiosity, I decided to check out what I wrote about on this day. I went back to 10/21/2002, since the earliest history I have is of that year. This blog was called Psychodaisy X back then. It was on the domain psychodaisy.com

I remember I was living in St. Louis, working hard because I think at that time I was the only available person to take care of the network. So I was on call pretty much 24/7. It was a time of Everquest, which pretty much took up a big part of your life. I remember I was playing with Tiggerprr and her (our) guild, Inner Chi.

Sometimes, I have to say that I miss those days. But I’m so glad I don’t play Everquest anymore, although I guess you could say that any number of games have taken its place like World of Warcraft or Dragon Age : Origins.

One thing I did want to point out about that post in the past is the link at the bottom to the photo at photo.net. It Really does touch you and please remember to hug your kids today.

OCDness takes over yet again!

Posted on by

First of all, I want to start out by saying I love you Food Network. Food network has provided many hours of entertainment and learning for me. I love it. My cooking has Really improved directly because of them.

On that note, I am going to use a bulleted list of things that Really annoy or make me want to fix it. My OCDness takes over and I can’t Really help it!

I’m sure there will be a number of people complaining to me about all this but I Really don’t think the 5 people who read this blog will Really care. :D

  • When I watch Ina Garten on Barefoot Contessa, I love it. I love her, the show, everything about it. Except for when she puts her utensils on her counter. I realize the countertop is clean and very beautiful. Why ruin the beautiful-ness by putting dirty utensils you just mixed something with on it? It’s Really small, and but honestly can’t you put it on say a paper plate or paper towel or better yet, the cutting board? Just wondering.
  • Giada De Laurentiis. Oh my, I love your show. I love your food. But I’m wondering if you could tone down on the cleavage. It almost seems like it’s on purpose. Now, I’m not complaining about it, I think you’re very beautiful, but I’m not watching your show for your cleavage. LOL I’m watching to see what kind of awesome recipes you got. Also, the camera seems to linger around it sometimes. I’m just saying.
  • The Neelys. First of all, let me say this. I love your recipes, even if they’re not exactly healthy. That’s not what your show is about. I understand. Your food is awesome and gives me great ideas. But Seriously? I know you guys love each other. I get it. But do you have to flaunt your happiness in front of everyone else? There’s no need to get cheesy. There’s a bedroom for that. It might be OK in your kitchen, but honestly, I’m trying to watch a COOKING show, not Loveline. You might also wanna cut down on the number of times you say “y’all”.

I’m sure I have more, but I can’t think of them right at this time. Those are the ones that are clearly on the top of my list. What do you guys think? Any pet peeves of your own?

Spam, the real Spam that is

Posted on by

First of all, this post isn’t about the spam you might get in your mailbox. It’s not about the amount of messages you might get overloaded by playing your favorite online game. I’m talking about the real thing. The Spam in the can and has some Really tasty goodness.

Why is it that people hate spam so much? Ok, so it’s not exactly healthy or it might not be what you think of as good quality food. But when you open it up, fry it up in the frying pan, or bake it, does it Really matter as long as it tastes good? There must be thousands of recipes out there with spam as the main ingredient. You can even find recipes at the official spam site. And for this, I’m going to open up a poll. This will be the end all be all. I’m thinking that most of my friends will not vote for spam. But here’s hoping they change their minds.

What is it about spam you don’t like? Seriously now!

Do you like Spam (the food, not spam the mail)?

Yoshi, the inventor extraordinaire! (NOT)

Posted on by

Yoshi has been trying to invent so many things, but has failed. Someday perhaps, his mad machinations will work and they will somehow make him rich. Yeah, don’t hold your breath.

I am gonna go supergeek and use star trek stuff. I would invent the Replicator. This would solve so many things, I can’t begin to talk about it. But I will, as you know. Perhaps you don’t know what a replicator is. Basically it’s a machine that can reproduce simple matter out of energy. It cannot replicate complex machinery like another replicator or anything that requires complex mechanisms, such as a watch. However, a replicator is mostly used to make food.

With a Replicator, you would never have to worry about food. Ever. No one would starve. Everyone would have some kind of nutrition. It may not be perfect at first, since most replicators might have to be programmed with all the food of the world. But it will help so many people.

With a Replicator, money would change in value. Because food is no longer needed to be sold, money can now be spent on other items. Money’s value would change. It may not be as drastic as I say, however, it will definitely change regardless.

The biggest problem of course would be the source of energy. Would it use simple electricity and plug it into a wall jack? I somehow doubt that. A whole new energy source would probably have to be developed.

All in all, I think inventing the Replicator would probably be as life changing as sliced bread. You can count on it.

I ain't Superstitious

Posted on by

Yoshi is still recuperating from his bad luck streak. But he’s not Really superstitious. Or so he says.

I’m not 100% superstitious. But I do have to say that being raised by a very superstitious mother had it’s influences. I don’t care about walking under ladders, the number 13 (although I admit I feel lucky about that number instead of unlucky – sometimes), or breaking any mirrors. I don’t believe in that.

However, I do avoid going out on Friday the 13th. It just seems like so many bad things that have happened to me happened on that day. That’s the only reason. Granted, it could be coincidence or it could just be I remember those times only because it’s a prominent day. I also am wary of black cats too. I have no idea what it is about black cats, I feel like they’re always watching me. Something about that is just so creepy.

All in all, I have to admit that superstitions might rule my life, but I Really hate to admit it. I’m not sure how many times I’ve said, “don’t do that! That’s bad luck!”
