			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whoa, whoa, whoa!! 皆さま！皆さま！久しぶりね？  So it&#8217;s been two months since I&#8217;ve updated this site&#8230;I&#8217;ve been slacking in my other sites as well :[</p>
<p>Anyway, a new template was needed, thus I changed it.  可愛いね（・ω・）？  However, I need to go back and add bookmarking tools since the default template doesn&#8217;t have that.  Rather&#8230;Hmmm&#8230;Maybe I&#8217;ll just create my own damn theme!  I keep saying this, but I&#8217;ve yet to do it.</p>
<p>Okay, a priority list is needed:</p>
<p><strong>Masa Karasu</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Finish linking lyrics</li>
<li>Finish Spain Interview</li>
<li>Get the German version back in gear</li>
<li>Convert Spanish version to new template</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Online Portfolio</strong></p>
<p>I want to start an independent website development company.  Nothing big, just clients here and there, but clients who are willing to pay :P  Thus, I need to get my web-design butt in gear and start producing some stuff!  This will be the beginning of that project&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>Design template</li>
<li>Check with webdev friends and see if they&#8217;re interested in working together</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Cherry Blossom Productions</strong></p>
<p>My booking and promo company was finally created toward the end of last year and we have a website: <a href="http://www.CherryBlossomSA.com">www.CherryBlossomSA.com</a>.  There are a few things that needed to be added content-wise.  Also, <a href="http://zenverse.net">zenverse</a> created a nice template so I went with that one until I find time to redesign it.  However, that is not a priority at the moment.</p>
<p>I guess this really isn&#8217;t a priority list, just a to-do list&#8230;*sigh*  When tech week at the playhouse is done, then I&#8217;ll get started on the larger project on this list.  Now I&#8217;m in a talking mood&#8230;I might update my abandoned LJ.</p>
<p>じゃね。</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I decided to be adventurous and try out one of Weight Watcher&#8217;s recipes.  Now, honestly, I am <strong>NOT</strong> a good cook. I can microwave Chef Boyardee, but that&#8217;s about it.  Okay, so this recipe caught my attention because of two words in it: corn and bread.</p>
<p>Now let&#8217;s begin!</p>
<div id="attachment_167" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img src="http://www.kantansa.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/43127840-300x225.jpg" alt="To create this shape, I used a bunt cake baking sheet." title="Cornbread" width="300" height="225" class="size-medium wp-image-167" /><p class="wp-caption-text">To create this shape, I used a bunt cake baking sheet.</p></div>
<p><strong>What You Need To Know</strong></p>
<p>WW Points: 2 per serving<br />
Servings: 12<br />
Prep Time: (recipe says 10 mins, but I didn&#8217;t time it)<br />
Cooking Time: 20 mins</p>
<p><strong>Ingredients</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>1 cup uncooked cornmeal, yellow</li>
<li>1 cup all-purpose flour</li>
<li>2 tsp baking powder</li>
<li>3/4 tsp table salt</li>
<li>1/2 tsp baking soda</li>
<li>1 14 3/4 ox cream-style corn, canned</li>
<li>1/2 cup buttermilk</li>
<li>2 large egg whites</li>
<li>2 tsp corn oil</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Note: Baking powder and baking soda are NOT the same thing and you need BOTH for the recipe.  I learned this the hard way!</em></p>
<p><strong>Instructions</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Prehead oven to 400&deg;F. Coat cake sheet with cooking spray or available vegetable oil.</li>
<li>Combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl.  Mix well with a fork, then make a well in the center; set aside.</li>
<li>Combine creamed corn, buttermilk, egg whites, and oil in a medium bowl; mix until blended.  Fold mixture into dry ingredients; mix until blended.  Pour batter into prepared baking pan and smooth the top.</li>
<li>Bake until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.  Allow to cool in pan and then pop each one out using a fork.  Be careful, you don&#8217;t want to break the little bunts.</li>
</ol>
<p>Oh, and FYI, using a 12 bunt cake baking sheet, there will be a bit of&#8230;puffiness on the top.  And in the end, your creation can either be a muffin or a bunt cake, depends on which side you have it on! :D</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay, so I found a reason to create another website: It&#8217;s required for my Japanese class!  I have no idea what exactly we&#8217;ll be posting, but any professor who wants her students to make a website deserves an A+ in my book!</p>
<p>In case any of you are interested, please head over to <a href="http://www.kantansa.net/nihongo/">日本語―nihongo―</a>.  It amazes me that I&#8217;m able to read a decent amount of Japanese, yet my grammar and vocab levels are close to non-existent.  I plan to rectify this matter, which is why I&#8217;m SO thankful that Professor Yu has allowed me to take her class.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s not much to say about <a href="http://www.masakarasu.net">MK</a> at the moment.  I have a list of what I need to do, but I&#8217;ll get to it when I&#8217;m able.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not sure if many of you know, but I work with a group of peeps who bring Japanese bands to San Antonio, Texas.  Well, we finally figured out a company name!  So soon there will be a new website to add to my glorious collection!  However, I&#8217;m not sure if I&#8217;ll be the one to actually do the website, since one of my partners, Eric, seems to want to do it.  Though, I will definitely host it.  More info on that once it&#8217;s established.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, I finally got WordPress installed and a theme I absolutely adore for <a href="http://www.masakarasu.net/en/">Masa Karasu &#8211; English version</a>.  I hadn&#8217;t realized how many freggin&#8217; pages we have and so far only 63 of them are put online.  We have a TON of lyrics still to add, but that should be done sometime during this week.  Srsly, tedious work.  But someone&#8217;s gotta do it, and when it comes to my fansite, I&#8217;m willing to do anything!  However, by the end of the week, I might feel like this:</p>
<p><object width="445" height="364"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/iTX0zRiSWp8&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/iTX0zRiSWp8&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object></p>
<p>MWAHAHAHAHA!</p>
<p>After I gain some of my sanity back, I&#8217;ll start the German version.  Hmmm, I might start on it earlier since it&#8217;s all brand new content.  THEN, the Spanish version!</p>
<p>Another thing, Masa Karasu is also affiliating with a Russian fansite, so yay for expanding to fans around the world! :)</p>
