My mood right now

Domo!

Just another LOLcat...in honor of going to a Japanese restaurant yesterday, Gyu-Kaku. Domo arigato Mr. Gato!

Merry Christmas!

Just a Merry Christmas to all of our friends. May you all have a Merry Christmas, a Joyous New Year and may this year upcoming be better than the last.

The tastes of the holiday season...

One of the best parts about the holiday season is the food, especially the sweets. One of the best parts about holidays sweets is getting to lick the spoon and/or the bowl...

Just 15 Minutes Can Save You...

Because I haven't posted one of these in a while...

Haven't done a LOLcat in a while...and this kitten is just too cute!

Just a wine connossieur...

Amanda and I can really relate to this...we don't actually drink wine all that often, but we love great wine and we love the whole business and art of wine tasting. It's one of our favorite things to do. The countryside, the people you meet, the different flavors and smells of the wine itself, the cuisine that is associated with wine, the whole thing.

It's Talk Like A Pirate Day!

One of my favorite holidays of the year...the day where it is proven, without a doubt in the eyes of my students, that I am not just odd, but freakin' weird.

So avast me hearties! Speakin' the pirate tongue for me!

I'm a moron

Or at least I pretended to be Sunday evening.

I was having a pretty decent weekend. Sleeping in, Amanda making breakfast, watching the Angels (even if it was them losing), going to Ben&Jerry's for free ice cream, checking out the Bass Pro Shop (holy hell, going to have to have a seperate blog entry for that alone!), great dinners, made my own blue cheese butter with Stilton, it was going great.

And then I realized that I have left my cell phone, a Motorola Razr, in my pants. Said pants had, by this time, gone through the wash cycle and were now thumping around in the dryer.

We are broke until the first and I just ruined a several hundred dollar phone because I frickin' forget to take it out of my shorts pocket.

I don't know what it worse, the feeling of being a goddamn moron, the feeling of being unconnected (first time without my phone in something like 10 years), or the feeling of knowing I'm going to have spend money we don't really have to just throw around.

Not cool.

Copy Cat!

Now that's just funny.

The heat is...

Oppressive. It really is. When it's climbing up to record temps of around 107 degrees, it's quite simply just not worth going outside unless you are going from one air-conditioned place to another. I can handle the 90's pretty easily. I attended the University of Arizona for five years, and while not there normally in the summers, it got damn hot. November and still in the 90s during the afternoon? Normal. When it got above about 102 or so, people just didn't go outside. I'm serious when I say that you could walk down the middle of the main streets back then when the temps got up to 107, 109, 113 and not need to worry about being hit by a car. Even if the car was air-conditioned, people just didn't go out. It was a part of how we adapted.

So 90's, yeah, it's warm and maybe even hot. I'll even take about 100, 101 or so. When it climbs to about 105 or above, forget it. Put the AC on full-chill, hand me an ice-cold beer, and let me sit in front of the fan.

Whut?

How I feel today...

Not enough sleep this week, and in 30 minutes I'm off to Comic Con...not exactly a place that is conducive to sleep. I guess that's what Rosarito Beach is for afterwards...

Chillin' like a villian...

Too good not to post
