I officially love my kitchenaid

The first thing I am made is coconut meringue cookies. I know it's
lazy but I really enjoy "just press" mixing. It sure beats the hand
crank mixer I have been using the last ten years.

Trip to Times Beach

We went to Times Beach this afternoon and spent time in the sun. I even took off my shirt for a while to maximize vitamin D production. The ice was still pretty thick, I walked out pretty far till I heard that scary cracking - the titanic hit an iceberg - noise and headed back in. It didn't stop me from skating around off shore for a bit which was so great in the sun. It made the very top very wet and slippery.

Tonight we are off to dinner with Robert and James. What a busy weekend.

The best birthday ever

The massage at The massage Studio on Allen was awesome. I never had anyone massage by butt or feet before, it was great. No, I know what you are thinking, but there was no happy ending.

Then I got lots of choxie, plus the entire O.C. series on DVD plus bonus material. Maybe (e:mike) will watch it with me.

Then, I got a new albino pet bird. I love it. I am going to name it albini.

Then we went to one of the nicest dinners I have had at Rue Franklin

. We were one of the first people to arrive. By the time we left it was packed. I had squab (Roast squab with Belgian endive, raisins, pinenuts and cardamom. Served medium-rare ) which is basically a baby pigeon

The weird part is that is was borderline raw but on purpose. I actually thought it tasted pretty great - I would get it again. I hope they are raised on a farm and not wild. Apparently, I like the taste of raw pigeon.

So the funniest part was about halfway through the meal in comes an 80 year old guy and his wife/companion who looked about 50. She had breasts bigger than lola ferrari. I know I exaggerate all the time but this was so for real. Everyone in the restaurant was staring at her. I wonder what that must feel like. They were literally larger than basketballs approaching beach balls. Basically just like this:

When we got home (e:terry) and (e:matthew) gave me a bigger box of choxie chocolates and one of the best gifts of all, the gift that keeps on giving - a kitchenaid icecream maker attachment

for the new kitchenaid mixer I got from my parents.

I can't believe it but I'm 33. Last night we had dinner at my
parents. Lamb, shrimp, artichokes and dandelion plus clams casino -
yum!

Then I spent midnight with my brother drinking which was fun. I did
not have 33 shots for 33 as he suggested.

We tried to go to ETS afterwards but they were closed. Their
drivethru continues to talk even after it's closed. It must be some
automated system.

Then I spent the day playing with my computer and we are going to Rue
Franklin for dinner where they have oysters in the half shell, yum.

In between I scheduled a massage over at The Massage Studio on Allen.
Should be a good day.

I'm still sad (e:hodown) ditched me for the baby. I guess I'll keep the
bag of hello kitty stuff my mom got for her.

The fucking dump is empty

That junk store gone junk yard was being emptied out into a dumpster.
Finally! Now maybe they can make some progress on allentown's most
ghetto block. It needs to be fixed or destroyed from there to the
next corner on north pearl.

Remember when I called the police about the plague of flies in there.
I still wonder what died?

Verizon Fios vs Time Warner

Unfortunately I have both time warner cable and verizon FIOS. One for home and one for the server. I have been considering consolidating but I love the upload speed of FIOS and its so hard to give it up. As for the download speed the cable modem is about the same.

Check out the speakeasy stats. Timewarner is actually faster for me in download.

Taking on the baconator

I am trying to pack in some extra pounds and decided to try it. I
didn't realize it came with no vegetables at all.

I seriously can't believe how many calories are in it.

Between this and my Gallon of Milk per day diet I expect to die before my 34th birthday big and strong

NO seriously i can't do the whole gallon a day. I am stick with a half which is only a little more milk than I drank before. Unlike the baconator, the milk I drink is organic and i wonder if it will work. Maybe the reason it is supposed to work is because normal milk has so many growth hormones.
