It's The Doc!

So I have some booze and I have some jell-o and I don't work for two days.

What am I supposed to do with all of this? Make jell-o shots of course! I've been mixing drinks for about a month now and I'm still pretty horrible so I have a good idea on how epically bad this will go down.

Oh well - here it goes.

Step 1
Find the flavor of jell-o you'd like to prepare. I'm preparing something that my boyfriend will drink without complaint so I am making a type of fuzzy navel. Peach schnapps and orange jell-o/juice. There wont be any lemonade but I don't think it would be that big a difference in such a small bit of jell-o.

Step 2
Make it stupid difficult to actually make. I decided to go with a jell-o mold that isn't a bowl, not a cup, not even a shot glass. I will be using orange rinds for my jell-o.

Step 3
Carve out the orange pulp and fruit, leaving the rinds in tact. Keep the actual orange fruit and stuff separate, you will want their sweet supple juice for later on. Make sure when you scoop it out with a spoon or whatever you keep as much as the rind as possible, you'll want a thick skin on the orange.

Step 4
Prepare the jell-o according to the directions, make sure that water is boiling HOT and you dissolve the powder 100% completely. If you do not then the liquor will collaborate with some enzymes and shit and it will not set. After you dissolve the powder remove the liquid from the source of heat.
The next part is important: let the liquid cool to room temperature. The reason is that the next step involves putting in the booze. And if you put it in too quickly then you will lose all the alcohol in the booze and be left with not much of anything except normal expensive jell-o.

So while you're waiting go over to that pulp, blend it up and then push it through a strainer and enjoy some 100% fresh squeezed orange juice. Don't drink all of it however!

Step 5
Mix the booze into the jell-o. Check the back of the jell-o box and see how much cold water they want you to mix into the mixture. Replace that number with some cold booze. I chose some cheap ass Peach schnapps as said earlier.

Measure it out.

You know schnapps taste pretty good.

Damn good.

I don't remember much about the next four hours.

At all.

After you get all that measured out collect yourself and add it to the now room temperature mixture behind you.

Step 5
Mix a bit of the OJ into the booze into the jell-o mixture, stirring while doing this all.

Step 6
Set up your oranges for liquid holding. This seems to be the easiest way, the muffin tray so far has been used 0 times in my house so I don't care if I spill all around it or catch it on fire.

Step 7
Pour. No really just pour.

Step 8
Refridgerate the jell-o for a few hours.

Also it may help to have some room before you do this.

INTERLUDE!
While I was waiting for the jell-o to settle I realized I cut 2 and a half 2 many oranges for the small 3oz box I bought. This left me with nothing to do with the rinds, and time to kill.

But I'm sure I'll find a way to pass the time.

I mean what CAN'T you do with 2 orange rinds?

INTERLUDE OVER!

Step 9
Cut the fuckers up! After a few hours they should be set. Because of the alcohol and orange juice added they are cloudy and opaque but they will still taste delicious!

Soon become!

Aren't they pretty?

Now the hard part. Finding some way to justify having these with nobody here here but myself, my boyfriend, and a roomie who doesn't drink a whole lot :(

Follow Up!

So I tried to get my boyfriend really drunk because I was bored. In the process I realized I could get drunk and magically mix drinks better!

I used a little from every column, and juices not seen in the fridge.

And I have to say, I can drink something with 151 way easier than I can drink Rockstar. Or any Red-Bull-esque energy drink. That stuff is weird.

After drinking in the kitchen apparently my shirt lasted a whole 3 feet before I needed it off. Right now.

Another couple feet was a shoe, then my pants and then... my other shoe. So I can only imagine how I got my pants off or how I kicked my shoes off.

I proceeded to sit in my computer room pretty much naked and surfing the internet. My boyfriend had gone to "lay down" and was awake/sleeping for the next two hours.

Also I got really REALLY hot. My face was red and red all the way down to my neck. All in all it was a really fun night.

So we've now landed at our new apartment. The only thing we have left to do at our old place is get a few car trips of miscellaneous shit out of there and wipe everything down. The new place we are at now is a bit smaller but it feels a lot nicer. Maybe because it's new right now. This place however has given us a year long lease - so we won't be moving anywhere soon. It also has a nicer complex - finally off the highway and includes things like a pool we can USE and a weight room which probably wont see much use.

I grabbed Eevee's camera, because mine is broken for flash and snapped a couple photos. In our little hallway there are only two doors, which is nice. Cuts down on the amount of people that will be walking around, just like the last place. Our "welcome" mat has followed us through times and is actually the coolest one I've ever seen.

In our front room the first thing you're greeted with is our same couch and crappy dumpster recliner. Over to the right is our "dining room" which isn't used for much other than holding crap or playing some cards on. Speaking of which playing cards on a circle table is pretty retarded, just a little FYI.

The view from our kitchen actually is a good view, it almost looks like a real living room. It also leaves plenty of space for playing the Wii and taking in the full cinematic awesomeness of our speakers. I wouldn't have believed it until I saw it myself, but I think we need a bigger shelving unit to hold all our video games and movies.

Down the hallway there are 4 doors, a 5th one at the end that leads into the closet. There is the smallest room, which Eevee took because he knew most of this time wouldn't be spent there.

There is also the master bedroom, which has a bathroom and giant walk-in closet inside of it. The closet is a good size. Such a good size I could afford to put my dresser in there and have it not be seen when you look straight into it. Just like the life-sized nerd in our hallway this room seems to come with a life-sized bed dweller. I want to get a real bedset soon, the boxspring on the ground like that isn't the most attractive looking piece of furniture we have - despite the bed being kind of expensive. The master bathroom is actually pretty big. The fan is a bit loud but unlike the last place it's just loud - not loud AND broken.

To top it all off there is the best room in the house: the computer room. In here we have set up our x-box set up as our media center. Because there is no cable box in here we cannot watch live TV, which means we will probably go back to torrenting a lot more stuff to watch in here. There of course is my computer and vee's computer.

All and all it's a pretty spiffy place. We're on the ground floor like I stated so we can DDR and stuff without too much worry - and I can turn up the base on my speakers just a small bit.

And no place is complete without the resident headcrab hanging around.

The worst part about having to move is that little blip we don't have internet.

And while I don't think I have an internet addiction, I believe I do have a heavy dependency on it for ALL my entertainment. This kind of sucks because I don't have much else to fall back on. I have consoles and stuff to play games on but they require me to be online for multi-player and all that fun kind of stuff.

We aren't moving far away this time - just 5 or so miles down the road. Costs a bit more but the complex is much much nicer, and this time we have a year long lease so they won't be putting us out onto condos any time soon.
