Basra the tortoise eats a carrot in 3:30

Just watch basra take 3:30 to eat half of a carrot and try to imagine to tragic fate of the parakeet (e:paul,49948) Can you imagine being eaten this way?

One complete but unpainted window


I have to wait 7-14 days for the putty to skim before it can be
painted. This is an insane amount of work. I have a much deeper
understanding of just how complex windows can be.

Almost done with window one

This whole stripping, sanding, priming, cutting glass, reglazing is
time consuming. Especially, considering the window is really made up
of 17 panes.

Also just got done painting the dormer we primed last week. It looks
awesome in dark brown like the house is carved from a solid block of
dark chocolate.

I have the best job in america

Well not my job specifically but the job I do. It even has a projected 45% growth rate over the next ten years according to CNN money

it seems like there are lots of IT and medical jobs on there. I guess healthcare is where it's at.

Who eats this shit


Someone I know actually bought this. It kind of blows my mind that
anyone would choose this inedible looking pizza sitting in styrofoam,
wrapped in plastic.

It's just one step away from canned pizza as far as I am concerned.

Weird 24 hours

I was up late last night with the tortoise who was wretching up bird.

Then I went to work. I ended up getting into something that should take like 3 days but i didn't have three days so I compressed it into a 13 hour stretch with no lunch. In fact I just did not eat today and there is only a half hour until tommorow. I figured it was worth getting it over with so that I could actually have tommorow and the Monday holiday off without having to stress about it. That way I can work on the house this weekend.

Basra The sulcata tortoise eat a bird

Never having owned a cat this is the first time I ever had to deal
with one pet eating another. I just can't believe he ate the whole
parakeet. I took this picture at 2 in the afternoon today and you can
still see blue feathers in his mouth and arm scales.

It sos crazy because this kind of tortoise does not eat any meat. Well, to be honest I had one in the 90s and it ate a crow, so maybe they have a secret love for dead birds.

I can't imagine being eaten by a tortoise. What's worse is the other
bird in his cage 3 feet away witnessing the tortoise eat his buddy.

My theory us the bird didn't think the tortoise was a threat and got
too close.

Tokyo shanghai bistro lunch


I tried the lunch buffet today with (e:jon) and (e:enknot). It's only
6.95 and they had plenty if yummy choices. Most of them were meaty
although their are plenty of vegetarian options on the menu. I also
got the bowl of wonton soup again. I ate like 100 clams.

Tokyo Shanghai Bistro

(E:Terry) and I went to the new Tokyo Shanghai Bistro at 494 elmwood for yesterday for dinner.

image

They did such a fantastic job with the interior
design. Its hard to even believe it is the same place that was Rice
Paddy. The restaurant has a really extensive menu of Japanese and
Chinese food at really reasonable prices. They also have a sushi bar.

I ordered a piece of Saba (mackerel) sushi as an appetizer which was
delicious, well presented and had the beautiful skin texture I love.
It's hard to find it so pretty and at $2.00 it was a great deal.

image

Then I had a bowl of wonton soup with three wontons in it for $1.75.

image

(E:Terry) got c14 mongolism beef for $10.95 and it was freaking
delicious and well presented.

image

For dinner I ate c17 - seafood in sizling platter. It's described as
"lobster, crabmeat, shrimp, scallops sauteed with broccoli, straw
mushrooms, baby corn, and snow peas in a sizling platter." and cost
$15.95.

image

While the entree was delicious it had imitation Krab meat not
crabmeat. I feel like there should be a law against that. Imagine if
you ordered steak and got immitation steak. At $15.95 I think they
should either give you the real deal, call it imitation krab in the
desciption or leave it off the menu - it's such a shifty trick. It
made me not order the crab sushi I was going to get because getting
fake crab sushi would have sent me over the edge.

The other place that does that is Guercio's with their crab (krab)
salad in the deli.

The lobster was also overcooked and chewy as though it had been cooked and reheated. However, the scallops and shrimps were delicious. It would have almost just been better without the fake crab and just with more shrimp.

In general, it was great and I would definately go back again, just
don't order anything crab if you expect real crab.

I am very interested in going to lunch there and trying the lunch menu this week one day.
