Enough time to throw in a quickie.
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know I'm still alive. It's the end of the school year so I've been bogged down with finals and projects. Tomorrow I have 2 presentations and next week I have to do finals in all four classes. Craziness but I've almost made it!
So obviously I haven't been broadcasting as much as I'd like to but I still think about you guys! Stay strong and keep up with me on Twitter! I'll see you once summer hits!

JBOC Numba Fough.
In 6 days, April 25th will mark the 2 1/2 year anniversary that I joined and started broadcasting as a lifecaster on JustinTV. Coincidentally enough, today and tomorrow are the birthdays of two important people that introduced me to lifecasting, Dennis and Atticus Jackson. Happy birthday guys!
Alright, well if you don't know already, I like to celebrate important events in my life by holding a JBOC contest. It's a little gesture to reach out to my fans and friends but also a way for me to clean my room out.
If you do not know where I got the "Box of Crap" (otherwise known as a "BOC") idea, check out Woot. They thought of it first. I'm just a fan-girl...and a copycat.
RULES!
1. Each entry is $1 USD
2. Up to 10 entries per person, please. If you WANT to give $100, by all means, feel free! You will only be given 10 entries though.
3. To enter, email me at jane.ds.tv[at]gmail.com telling me your screenname from where I know you, PayPal email address and how much you are entering. Entries due by April 24th, 11:59pm MY TIME.
4. PayPal payments only accepted.
5. Once payment has been received, I will assign numbers for each entry. This is why it is important you let me know your email address! These numbers will be put into a drawing.
6. Winner will be randomly selected live on JustinTV on April 25.
7. Need not to be present to win. Just make sure I have your email address!
8. Everyone is invited to win!
FAQ's
* By "crap" you mean.... - Well, its not literal crap. This box is filled with tons of things that I just didn't have room for in my room anymore. A lot of times I'll buy things specifically for the box so not all the time will everything be used. It is also not limited on things inside. This thing is filled.
* Where does the entry money go? It goes toward shipping the box out. Depending on how many entries I get is how fast I can get the box to the winner! If I raise $10 it might be 5-7 days. If I get $500 million I can afford a time machine and give it to the winner yesterday.
* Can you put [insert desired item from my room] in the box? Not unless I decide to put it in. I don't take requests. I am a firm believer in the element of surprise.
Any more questions? Ask them below! Happy JBOC'ing!
Also! Follow me on Twitter, add me on Facebook, my YouTube vids, and my website!

Early Morning, we meet again.
Woo! Another crazy early morning for me today!
I finally bought OK Go's new album "Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky". I love it! It had been too long since I heard anything new from them! Here's a couple of their new music videos.
And here's the 2nd one (embedding disabled).
Like I said, it's way early. 3:48am for me. My schedule's been changing around a lot so I've been broadcasting at different times. Counting down the days till Spring Break! I'm thinking there's going to be at least one game of HangMan during that week.
Oh man, I need to make Snickerdoodles again!

Doritos Casserolly-polly
This weekend was our Partner Appreciation weekend at work. Rules changed starting this month though and we are no longer allowed to wear jeans during this (as opposed to our black or tan pants we ALWAYS wear). This weekend we decided on having an ongoing potluck meal. Each day I chose a theme and we made food based on that theme. Yesterday was Mexico, today was Italy and tomorrow is America.
So I was in a predicament. I didn't want to spend so so so much time on a meal for yesterday. I wanted something quick, simple-ish, and big enough for everyone to share. That's when I turned to y'all. I asked my chatroom to give me suggestions of delicious dishes and that's when "Doritos Casserole" was thrown at me.
I had never really heard of a Doritos Casserole before but knowing that I love casseroles and you can't ever go wrong with Doritos, I knew it was a perfect choice for the potluck. I started my research.
I'm extremely picky when it comes to recipes. I Googled "Doritos Casserole" and tons of recipes popped up. I didn't want to deal with chicken bones so I chose beef. I didn't want a recipe too short because I know they left way too much room to "play around" with flavors. I finally found a good recipe.
Now, I'm not saying I perfected the recipe after the first try, but I believe with my little modifications, the casserole turned out tremendous. Everyone at work loved it, that is, everyone that eats meat. I even shared some with a couple customers who said they loved it. I was pretty impressed by how the flavors complimented themselves.
So here it is, make it, tweak it, share it, give some feedback!
The recipe originally said this dish serves 2. I don't see that at all. It's huuuuge and perfect to share with family and friends!
So enjoy and let me know how you like it! Link me to pics and give comments below when you make it!
