    When I asked Snowy about making her own mochi, this is what I wanted to know if she was doing. My old Kendo club does this at the beginning of every year to celebrate the opening of the dojo. It starts as rice and ends up mochi.

    We do it a lot slower than the video but one folds while the other uses the mallet.

    I've been meaning to do that, actually. My best friend's temple has a mochitsuki every year. I should really go.

    I'm wondering how many times "Stop chewing on your brother" will come out of my mouth today.
    It's homework day. Whomp, whomp.

    I seriously need to start taking Gonkwon Yusul classes soon. It's basically hapkido's version of judo or Brazilian jujitsu. It's pretty much a night of sparring in grappling/groundwork situations. It'll give me a chance to figure out if I'm learning anything in that respect, and to figure out what I need to work on.

    Inspiration!
    I decided to give paleo pancakes another try. They're beautiful, but I still think they're too banana-y and sweet.
    But, I have a bunch to nuke for breakfasts this week.
     
  10. Following the snowiest January on record, February 1 brings--- more snow! 1.5 inches so far with 4+ predicted. Glad I have a lot of running around to do... NOT!

    We missed the snowiest January. But we did have the snowiest Jan since 1979, and the 3rd snowiest after '79 and 1918. We are in line for 6"-10" total. An hour or two the news showed my area with between 6-7" already down. But at least the wind isn't kicking like crazy this time.

    @noodle claims she's working on homework all day, but I keep getting Facebook game requests. GET TO WORK! :)

  13. The country trucks were out spraying brine at 6:30 am, before any snow fell. Now, with the roads a mess and cars going sideways, they are nowhere to be found. The only customers calling are the ones an hour round trip away on a clear day.
    After I leave work, I get to traverse the entire Metro northern boundary for an all nighter at the recording studio. Good times!

    I'm watching psychological videos from the 1990s to write papers on. Shut it, @geneticshift!
    They keep sending only on things you play! ;)

    I was explicitly told to play video games. So I am. But it's sunny and I'm sure we'll go do something else after a while.

    Bam, bitchy. 3 page review of Wolpe's video and chapters 1 & 2 of Craske, M. G. (2010). Cognitive-behavioral therapy, done.
    Get ready for more game requests, lol. Three more to go and bunch of research.

    My Muay Thai instructor just challenged me to increase my one-minute push-up count from 35 to 60 within three weeks.

    Challenge accepted.

    No, but he's on my council of spiritual advisors along with Tyler Durden and Conan the Cimmerian.
