Cruel Black Doves

I cannot believe how much I love this song and I cannot believe that I hadn't caught buzz on this earlier. Time to quit living under a rock.

Ummm...2

Google doesn't lie...



Image search results for: "Sara Palin stupid."

Re-Fabled


Two hours, or so, in and I am pretty impressed, so far. Camera angles, blah-blah-blah and all of the things that you would normally take for granted in a high profile game...check.
So, what separates this from the rest of the "pack?"
You get a puppy.
Really.

Too much of a good thing...

For me, weekends are often about getting the chance to putter around the kitchen. Most of the time, I stick to small batch type meals. This weekend was quite the exception. Armed with a fundamental knowledge of split-pea theory, I whipped up a batch of soup. The kettle of choice was reminiscent of one that Klinger might have hunched over in a M*A*S*H* episode.

The final result was a little too salty (even after adding two whole potatos during the simmer), but still quite tasty.

Sadly, though, I do not think that I will be able to consume the entire batch (even in a month), without causing irreparable damage to myself or to my appreciation of William Friedkin movies.

How to annoy a melon...

MSG..or...Why does my head feel like it is going to go all Vesuvius?

Stepped out for lunch today and went to my favorite restaurant downtown. Ordered some Pho', which most of you may know is my all time favorite lunch. Rather than adding the usual condiments (oyster sauce and chili paste), I went for the beef flavoring instead. Not 100% sure that it is MSG enriched, but I am guessing that this headache is more than just regular sodium toxicity. Feels almost as though some 10 foot giant is trying to using my head as a bowling ball: index and middle fingers gouging my eyes and thumb hooked up through my soft palate into the back of my nasal cavity somewhere.

At least the egg rolls were good.

Okay, while the rest of the world is bitching about the new Facebook layout, along comes one of my dearest friends and says, "Hey give this Facebook thing a shot." I really don't have anything to compare it to, so I can't be one of those complaining about it, but I have to say, and trust me, I am no idiot, I will be damned if I can figure it out.

Give me blogspot, or give me death! Or a Peanut Buster Parfait...I like those, too.
