 I've been totally addicted to this site for well over a year now and it's really a daily must-read for anyone who's into cooking or likes to pretend that they cook. Go and check it out. It's totally food porn.
Some days I'll open it up and as I go through the pictures I find my self talking dirty to the recipes.
Yeah you like being dusted in cacao don't you? nasty bitch with all those strawberries......slut |

| Elbow |
[Apr. 29th, 2008|06:12 pm] |
This past friday I was chatting with the lead singer of this band called "Elbow" at work and he was very nice (and...British?) and I thought he had a pretty good voice so I was thinking about checking out some of their stuff.
Does anyone, by chance, have any of their CDs on their computer that they might want to share? |

My alarm went off at 5:45am. I got up at 6am. Went into the shower at 6:22am. While bathing I realized that I don't have to go into work until 4:45pm.
Who's going back to sleep? It's me.
rock rock on. |

| dos cosas |
[Apr. 22nd, 2008|07:56 pm] |
1.) I got three evenly spaced scratched on the back of my left hand from some sharp screws sticking out from a cupboard door behind the counter in my department. It didn't really hurt but ended up bleeding a lot and looks a bit nastier than they actually are. So many people asked me what happened that I started telling them I was attacked by a feral cat on the Q Train this morning.
So far three people have believed me.
2.) an old man approached me today before lunch and asked me where he could: "buy tickets to ride on Richard Branson's rocket ship to the moon." After asking him to repeat himself a number of times so I was sure he was asking what I thought he was asking, I told him that you had to buy the rocket ship tickets online and that we didn't sell them in the store.
When he first asked about riding the rocket ship, I thought he was hitting on me. Old people are scary sometimes. |

| Boston Brown Bread |
[Apr. 21st, 2008|03:14 pm] |
A number of weeks ago Brown Bread, for some reason, came up in conversation and I was looked at, as per usual, like I was crazy for mentioning the odd idea of Bread that comes in a can.
Well from what I learned from this Wikipedia article, brown bread and baked beans are very much a New England "thing" so ti's not strange it you've never heard of it.
I personally always thought it was rather disgusting, but people seem to have a nostalgic attachment to it. I couldn't find any pictures of it out of the can, but the picture of the bread ON the can is pretty much what it looks like.
And for anyone who loves it and hasn't been able to find it anywhere...Amazon sells it

| Suggestions |
[Apr. 20th, 2008|08:18 pm] |
So I just set myself up with a Netflix account because I'm tired of walking around work seeing things that I want to see.
So....does anyone have any suggestions of goof anime? I'm a big fan of Miyazaki and have seen most of his films. I also loved Cowboy Bebop (I've added Samuri Champloo to my queue already) and Ghost in the Shell....so any other suggestions? I think I'm not always a huge fan of the giant robot type ones, well...only if they're good.
Also any other general films or even TV shows I should check out? |

It's odd that this has come up in way too many conversations over the past week, but for those of you who believed their mothers when they were little....you were being lied to.
Milk and Dairy products do not increase mucus in your body, nor does it worsen congestion of allergies or asthma.
It might feel like it because of the viscosity of the milk...but it's only a sensation. It's all in your head.
just in case you were wondering. |

| | birds twittering | ] | Just to get a few more of these answered:
simple_defeat asks:"Just a thought. Isn't "Wanna fuck" a question?"
ANSWER: Yes it is, just often not a very good one.
burnoutfuture asks: "Why are you so cute?"
ANSWER: Genetics...pure luck...smoke & mirrors...?
Someone-Who-Wishes-To-Remain-Anonymous asks: "so...yes..how is it that your boyfriend, who seems as 'hot' as a half-fucked-fox-in-a-forest-fire, end up in a relationship with a (slattern? really?) chubby, big-haired boy?...and how did you meet? the infamous craigslist hook-up? a bmoco party? inquiring minds want to know..."
ANSWER:You know I actually had to go look up "bmoco" and my stars...the world is full of interesting organizations, isn't it? To make a rather involved story a bit more short and sweet...my delightful boyfriend started chatting with me on Yahoo. Or at least that's where I remember talking to him first. And when we first started chatting I thought he was someone totally different. So we chatted and he would invite me out places to hang out or get dinner and I would hem and haw and find reasons not to go and generally turn him down. This went on for a few months until he verbally cornered me and insisted that we go get dinner somewhere, which we did...at a place that serves good burgers and french fries that taste like bacon. We, however, didn't officially start dating until about a year and a half later because we're confusing that way.
So in essence, he found me. And I'm happy he's persistent.
boxtrot asks: What's your favorite book or graphic novel at the moment? ANSWER: At the moment I haven't really been reading all that many graphic novels. I do flip through the ones we have at work while I'm reorganizing the section, but otherwise I haven't really read anything new. My all time favorite graphic novels are the Sandman series (because Neil Gaiman really melts my butter), The entire Kabuki series (I love "Circle Of Blood" but I love David Mack's art work as it progresses through the series and slowly leaves his black and white ink work for more decoupaged/watercolor stuff. Plus the story is fun) Blankets by Craig Thompson is wildly amazing and very moving. His art and writing weave together so seamlessly to create this incredibly moving story to the point that you kind of forget that you're half reading, half looking at pictures. This one is truely a "Graphic Novel". I'm also a huge fan of all of the Flight trade paperbacks. I love those crazy kids.
I'll answer the book part later cause I have a larger list for that one.
we'll do some more later but right now I need to get my ass in gear and go get ready for work. |

sweetjimmyto asks: "When are you getting your hair cut?"
I got my hair cut a few days ago and GOOD LORD was it a long time coming. I hadn't gotten it cut since July and it was starting to drive me a little bit crazy.

But it's gone now and I can focus on being a teen heart throb again.
there were actually a lot more questions but I think I might post those tomorrow or later or...at some point that's not right now.
Dear Awesome Person Who Cut My Hair: Thank you :) |

| Questions |
[Mar. 23rd, 2008|01:36 pm] |

As March slowly draws to a close I sit and wonder to myself: "Are there possibly any questions that people would want to ask me in this 'ASK ME ANYTHING' meme that's been going around again?"
Is there? Hum....There might be. I've always found this one amusing SO: March, from what I'm told, is some sort of national "Ask-a Me A Questions, I Tell-a You An Answers" month. So Ask away if you so desire and I shall respond.
And remember: "You're not good enough for your boyfriend." and "I want to have sex with you." are not questions.
However: "How is it that your boyfriend, who is almost as hot and faultless as Jesus Christ himself, has come to be in a relationship with a slattern such as yourself?" and "If Matthew St.Partick were to approach you in a bar and ask you to return to his Bungalow for an evening of hot spooning action, would you say yes...or no?" Those are questions. |

Dear People Filming "Notorious", the Shit-tastic Biggie Smalls Movie, Please stop fucking stalking me. It's starting to piss me off. I didn't complain when you sat outside my work all morning filming, but really, when I ride the subway back home and am not allowed to come above ground because they're filming a scene and god forbid they catch sight of a white person on Fulton street.....come-fucking-on. You all fucking suck. Just because Mr. Rapper Fat-Ass liked to eat Cheesecake doesn't mean you have to rope off all the sidewalks around Junior's and not let people though. Some of us actually live around here and would like to be able to walk home and take a well-deserved shit in our own damn bathrooms because the ones at work are kinda frightening .
whatever. fuck you all.

| A Letter |
[Mar. 20th, 2008|03:33 pm] |
Dear hot guy standing next to me on the Brooklyn bound A platform @ 42nd Street, Just because you're super hot doesn't give you the right to smell so bad that it makes my eyes water. It's totally forgivable if you're trying out a new "natural" deodorant (maybe made from diatomaceous earth, pink Himalayan rock salt, rolled oats and a dash of lemon zest) and it stopped working 5 minutes after you stepped out your front door this morning. That's totally forgivable. But this...THIS wasn't an hour or two of man-muskiness I was smelling. No, sir, this was days...weeks...months...dare I say, maybe even years worth of unwashed, peppery, putrid body odor that had been percolating and stewing for quite some time so that your stench hit me like a cloud of small fish hooks struggling their way up into my sinuses to say "Howdy-Do!" to my brain.
I had to slowly move away from you, hot man, and that was sad because you were so pleasing to one sense, and yet so foul to an other.
I have a feeling that not just one bath and interaction with some sort of industrial cleaning solution will rid you of the totally malodorous situation you seem to to have found yourself in, so more than one bath might be something to look into.
I look forward to gazing upon you again when Hell's putrescence isn't seeping out of your pores.
Sincerely, Mike |

I don't really blame the girl. I'd have sex with Eliot Spitzer on a regular basis for $5,000 a pop.
Not that I find him wildly attractive, mind you. I just want the money. |

| 1001 songs |
[Mar. 10th, 2008|06:14 pm] |
While cleaning my department this morning I found a note on a pile of books called 1001 Songs: The Great Songs of All Time and the Artists, Stories and Secrets Behind Them.
The note was written on the back of a magazine subscription order insert from VIBE magazine and said:DON'T BUY THIS BOOK This guy has no real idea about music. Look @ his Sam Cooke Selection & Ellington And LEFT out John Mayer.
HE MIGHT EVEN BE BRITISH!
I looked it up and the author is actually Australian. I don't know if that would make a difference to whoever wrote the note though.
oh well. |

...speaking of Graphic Design, the new Justice video for DVNO is pretty fucking amazing. I didn't know all of them, but recognized a good handful of the 80's & 90's logos they were spoofing in the video. Check it out and see if they look familiar: Justice - DVNO (if that link doesn't work, try this one: dvno) |

Remember that Band meme that was going around? The one where you'd click on "Random Article" on Wikipedia and the name of the article that came up was the name of your band, the last four words from a random quote was the title of your album, and a random picture off Flickr was your album art?
Well...I never really stopped doing it. I found it way too entertaining. When I was bored I would click on the three sites and make little CD covers and leave them sprinkled around my desk top. I'm no graphic designer and my fonts and skills are rather lacking in most places, but I thought it was fun so I did it.
well I've apparently come up with a whole shit load of fake Bands. I wish some of them were real and I'm happy quite a number of them are fake.
I made a new journal and started posting them over there so I can visit whenever I want to. Go take a gander if you feel so inclined: 12kinkyfingers
and yeah, sometimes I cheat on the meme. When I'm going through Wikipedia articles if the one that comes up is something like "John Smith" I tend to just hit "random article" again until I get something that's not someone's first name, or something in another language. I also don't always take the 3rd picture from the Flickr page. Sometimes a different picture jumps out at me so I snag that one. That's just me, snubbing my nose in the face of the meme authority.
I'm crazy that way. |
