Delicious.

Beer!  And bacon!  An unstoppable duo of awesomeness and win.

Catching Flies With Honey

The Houston Chronicle has linked to my humble little blog in their Opinion section today, which is amusing to me seeing as how I’ve never said one nice thing about their paper or their journalists.  Quite the opposite, actually.  Hell, I don’t even have anything decent to say about them in my other blog, which [...]

Setting That Bar Low

An idea/meme cribbed from Margo, for my birthday:
Horoscopes!  The notoriously unreliable and far too broadly applicable self-indulgences we all know and love.  Here are mine, for November 11th:
From the Houston Chronicle:
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 11). Knowing where you’d like to be this time next year, you’re motivated to make the choices that will deliver you. You’re [...]

What’s With Today Today?

I’m having a very Empire Records sort of day, which is probably driving the temp insane.  Good.
Sometimes I get in these moods where all I want to listen to is music from my high school days.  As far as I’m concerned, this short era in music was the critical boundary between the last of commercially-viable yet [...]

Random Sunday Afternoon Post

From the delicious shrimp curry I made for dinner last night:
 
I served the curry over some brown rice with a little dollop of the mango marinade on top (didn’t have any chutney, so this worked quite well in a pinch).  If you’re going to make this recipe, which I highly recommend as an easy, delicious and very healthy [...]

Rubber Tree

Continuing today’s trend of short posts with links to some of my favorite sites, I am coveting this:

It’s a lamp that you wind up.  A wind-up lamp.  That works.  And it looks incredibly chic, to boot.  The wind-up lamp can be found in all of its glory here at Geekologie.
Other things which I am currently coveting [...]

My Inner Foodie

Where I work, we have a Breakfast Club, like so many other offices across the nation. And every Friday morning we are subjected to the unrepentant and unfailing cycle of bagels, donuts, bagels, donuts, bagels, breakfast tacos and more donuts. I don’t know why I used the word “subjected,” since we’ve all undertaken this breakfast [...]

The Evils of Fashion

I have big boobs. For those of you who know me, that’s as aphoristic as it gets.

Top Ten

Eh…everyone else is doing a year-end countdown of some kind, so here’s mine.
Top Ten Websites of 2006 (bear with me here…)
1.  Cute Overload:  Jacque turned me on to this one.  It’s your daily dose of almost unbearable cuteness in the form of tiny puppehs and kittehs.  See?  I have a heart.
2.  Go Fug Yourself:  I [...]

Virgil, quick, come see!

New stuff, new stuff…  Haven’t posted anything about music in a while and I’m feeling teh music juice today.
First up – Girlyman.  Very surprising band from San Francisco.  Couldn’t find any clips on YouTube or any of those other viral video websites, but Girlyman does, luckily, have a Myspace page (like every other person on [...]

Current Obsessions

Okay, so I’m getting back into Air (the band, not the mixture of gases we breathe) after a long hiatus.  I think I overplayed The Virgin Suicides soundtrack and then I couldn’t listen to them for a while…  So I’m rediscovering 10,000 Hz Legend, in particular this song:  “How Does It Make You Feel?“  I [...]

Poking a Badger With a Spoon

I present three websites of varying usefulness:
1.  Animals Have Problems, Too:  I normally hate everything that the Houston Chronicle regurgitates onto its pages, but I guess even broken watches are right twice a day.  This website redefines the word “awesome” (which is nice, since I completely overuse it) and, you know, other awesome words of [...]

Linkfest

You’ve had a long day.  No, really – I know, it’s been a hard day!  You don’t have to apologize.  Just sit down for a little bit and put your feet up right here.  You want a beer?  No?  Maybe some Fresca?  A Tab?  Okay, well, while I’m getting you that – oh, you want [...]
