Cooking With A Waffle Iron
Erin and I love our new George Foreman grill. Last night was portabello mushrooms and tonight we used it to prepare tasty half-pound hamburgers.
Essentially, the unit is just a waffle iron. Why didn’t anyone think of this sooner?
The Honeymoon Is Over
Erin and I returned from our honeymoon on Sunday afternoon. I would have posted some info on my vacation plans ahead of time, but I didn’t want to alert the world that my apartment was vacant. I’m actually quite amazed how many bloggers routinely do this.
I saw State and Main this evening on DVD. The movie really seems to have a Robert Altman quality to it, with one noteworthy deviation. It’s actually enjoyable and entertaining.
Haircut Specifications
The haircut I received on Tuesday was not quite up to Erin’s demanding hair specifications so I’m going in this afternoon to have it fixed. This time I’m bringing a photo example. Afterward I’m going to pick up my tuxedo. We’re getting really close now. Just the last minute stuff.
Today I found what very well might be the most elegant use of flash on the web.
Straight Outta Cambridge
Just when you thought things couldn’t get any stranger, Cornel West has gone and recorded a rap album.
Why Didn’t I Think of This?
I’ll probably get flak for this but I don’t care. I think Jason Kottke’s scheme to get a iBook is brilliant. I would be doing the same damn thing if I thought I could there was any chance in hell I could pull it off.
There! I said it! Sue me.
Rushdie’s Right
I looked over the news a bit during lunch today.
Fatwah or not, I think Salman Rushdie is completely correct. This is about Islam.
In other news:
“Horne was one of Britain’s most notorious animal rights activists. In 1988, he was given a six-month suspended sentence for attempting to steal a dolphin from Marineland in Morecambe, in northwestern England.”
How exactly does one go about trying to steal a dolphin? Do traditional shoplifting techniques work? Can you just stick it in your pants and walk out the front door? And how can you actually expect to not get caught? Sometimes I think animal rights activists are less intelligent than animals.
If You Can Get It…
So my friend Mike showed up at my apartment today dressed in a bear costume. The get-up was actually pretty cool and very Pooh-like. Why, might you ask, was Mike wearing a bear costume?
Mike was wearing a bear costume because the shady guy he works for was paying him $75 to deliver a birthday poem to someone’s wife in the costume.
Nice work if you can get it.
