Blender

My landlords snagged us a blender before it went into our neighbors trash. They are awesome.

For a blender that was second away from being covered in diapers and vegetable peelings, it is the sweetest blender I have ever used. It has made life so much better in the two weeks I have had it.

Chocolate Milk:

Skim milk, water, whey protein, a table spoon cocoa powder, a few drops of stevia. So deliciouis, almost no fat or sugar. WIth the cocoa I couldn't make this before because you just can spoon mix the stuff into anything.

Fruit and Vegi smoothie.

non-fat yogurt, skim milk, whey protein, celery, whole lemon, whole apple, parsley, spinach. Because it is a blender and not a juicer the mix has some bits of solid vegi, but is such an easy, delicious way to have a mess of raw goodness.

Tzatziki dressing.

non-fat yogurt, juice of 1/2 lemon, whole peeled cucumber, garlic, dill. I used to make a tofu-based dressing with many of these ingredients but was much more watery. This has the same amount of protein and is even more delicious.

I know these recipes aren't exotic or interesting, they are just things I wouldn't have been able to make without a blender, or a much larger food processor.

Thank you gods of the garbage for making tummy happy.

Doing my part

Races are fun.

(e:Janelle) was nice enough to drag me out to a race this Sunday. We both ran a 5K with 1,500 other people. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised.

My dad loves running. LOVES it. He used to run a couple marathons a year and would do 10ks regularly. I, however, loathed it as a kid. He was sign me up for a race so we could have some father/son bonding. But nothing pisses a 12 year old off like having to get up at 7 on a Saturday morning to jog.

But this was so much more fun. First, running with a crowd of hundreds is way more fun than doing it solo. I get to play little games, like running with someone for a few yards and then sprinting way ahead of them while making space ship noises in my head.

On the last mile I found the guy I wanted to beat. He looked my age and was about my build and we were making the same time about. He would pull ahead of me, then I would pull ahead, back and forth. Finally, I saw the finish and just gunned it and beat him by a few seconds. WOO HOO! Then I saw that a women in her 60's beat the two of us, giving me a lesson in humility, or something.

After, there was food and drink and a girl way too excited about pudding. But it was fun and I would do it again next weekend.

Thanks (e:Janelle) for inviting me.

Choose your own..... BRAIIIIINS!

Remember those choose your own adventure story books from childhood? They always had so much potential. One second you are having a perfectly educational experience exploring pioneer life, then the next you are drinking booze from the mouth of a whore. The greatness of the genera was never realized sadly.

But you can relive the wonder with The Outbreak an interactive zombie movie. It has surprisingly high production values and all the classic elements of a zombie flick. A sure crowd pleaser and a fine way to spend ten minutes.

Go get 'em.

How Long Can YOU Last?

See how long you can choke down this turd. I lasted two words before vomiting all over myself.

metalpeter writes at 07:23:06 09/23/08 - Comment #39178: Was that Josh Brolin ?

Yes I watched it all, and I give it to him he has guts to do that and here is why:
1)singing on tv shows is often bad and his talent is way above that
2) His singing style doesn't fit theme songs
3) Tv show themes are classics
A)People know them and have memory attached to them
B) Even if not known well the second it sounds a bit different people freak

That being said Animal was Awesome. He got South Park perfect. I wonder how much control he had over how the band played the song or if they had to fit it to his style. Yes he does have a lot of talent but most of the songs sounded odd to say the least.

morgan writes at 05:14:30 09/23/08 - Comment #39175: Seriously?!?!?!? I would be embarrassed to sing this song....

You need to look aroun 1:43 to see his interpretation of South Park's theme song.

OMG nows he's singing the theme to COPS - and he is way too white to be singing the theme to fresh prince of bel air theme.

Ok, so it looks like I'm going to be watching the whole thing, but someone had to do it. Surprisingly people actually clapped he was done. Maybe they are the real losers!

joshua writes at 03:38:46 09/23/08 - Comment #39161: WTH?

drew writes at 11:24:08 09/22/08 - Comment #39154: That was me. Janelle would never watch that much crap.

janelle writes at 11:22:43 09/22/08 - Comment #39153: I was glad to see animal, but it was bad as soon as he got to the friends song.

Bad. Very bad.

The choir, I thought would help, but it didn't.

Law and Order twice? What's up with that?

I made it to the bitter end though.

jbeatty writes at 10:14:24 09/22/08 - Comment #39150: I made it to the love boat, then quickly turned it off so nobody in the house would think I was enjoying it.

Furries, we salute you!

With Hurricane Ike causing disaster it is important that we applaud those brave souls who stayed behind. And most of all, the Furries who stayed behind.

Sweet, Sweet Revenge

The lease on the campaign office lasted only until city hall processed permits for redoing our space. They sat on them knowing the developer was an ally of Sam's. If only they realized that it was our office they wanted to rip apart. So, yesterday we packed up and this afternoon we moved into our new office.

Now, where could be the sweetest place to move into? Sure, there are lots of nice spaces in great locations, but that is not why this space is tops.

No my friends, this space is infinitely better than marble walls and a view. We just moved into Barbra Kavanaugh's old campaign office.

We captured her castle, we win.

The only thing that could possibly make it better is if it came furnished with a throne of skulls taken from our foes.

But we all know the real base of operation was city hall. Maybe next year will will take that base too.

You work at the pet store at the Eastern Hills Mall. You are very cute! I made eye contact with you today. I was wearing darkblue jeans and a black and grey striped hoodie.

Away

I will be downstate visitng my folks and friends for the weekend.

My youngest brother is going away to his first year of college this weekend. All the way in the middle of no-where Ohio, nearly a hundred miles West of Pittsburgh. So, it will be nice to see him off.

One friend has a huge party at his parents house every summer. I haven't been able to attend in nearly eight years. It will be great seeing so many drunken friends. So, no one is allowed to throw a party while i am out of town. Got it?

Jim will be all alone and carless. So, if you want to rescue him or break in and assault him this is the weekend to do it.

kisses,

-James
