And I got nothing for today.
Today I am going to the hardware stores in search of stuff for jewelry and Steampunk. Yes, I did say “jewelry”. But not for me. I have plenty. Well, ok…I do need to make some Steampunk style jewelry, so I should pick up more of these:
Oh, and I also have to cook something delish for Yabu. He has a fantabulous contest going on whereby we in the Blogosphere will be posting food pics and recipes!! It’s called the “NATIONAL IRRITATE A FOOD PIC HATER FOOD PIC POSTING WEEK” or NIAFPHFPPW for short. I shall be updating this blog with tonight’s feastology.
This is probably the most rambling post I’ve done this year.
Anyway, until then, have a great one, and feel free to join the foodie fun at Yabu’s!! 🙂
DELICIOUS UPDATE!!!
Slow Cooked Porkchops;
- Six thick-cut porkchops (boneless or bone-in)
- One bottle BBQ sauce
- One onion, halved and sliced.
Place porkchops in slow cooker, then layer onions over them, then pour bottle of BBQ sauce over it. Cook on low for 6 hours. Recipe stolen creatively borrowed from Laura a long time ago. Trust me, it is AWESOME!
Oh, and since I didn’t have any dinosaurs or fighter jets, I decided that Carl the Psycho Llama would grace the montage just fine. Tell me I’m wrong.
I dare ya 😉

Steampunk….dang, now you got me wanting to go home, dismantle my Nerf ™ dart gun, and Steampunk the crap outta it! Best part of Nerf guns, they’re already scalloped/molded enough to just need a heavy coat of brass/steel/carbon-scoring to cover up the usual neon plastic colors.
Now…to convince Mrs.Alien of the absolute need for such a thing around the house…:bangs head on desk:

Actually, you can just paint over it with acrylics. Then you can add findings like the copper stuff. Much cheaper that way!

Still have to pry the cash out to buy the acrylics. May try a Sharpie(tm), they used to make bronze/copper colored ones. I’ve also seen a really cool mod on http://www.instructables.com where the guy did some cutting and inserted one of those mini lightning-balls, which looked REALLY cool and highly Steampunky. Lemme see if I can find it…

[…] Miss Aggie spanked it with this one. Even has a Psycho Llama in the picture. Psycho Llama?, how cool is that? We in the Juju Crib loves us a clever woman. That would be fact. Hell, we like smart people, period. Fact! […]
