A Poem for Le Creuset
A haiku dedicated to my favorite dish:

Creuset casserole
A dish that I so beloved
Broken and betrayed

I was baking a piece of chicken and it just cracked in the oven. I had a hard time bringing myself to throw it out. This haiku is my way of dealing with the pain.

The Le Creuset pots and pans were on sale on Amazon's thanksgiving sale for $16 a piece.

Oh!!! that's so sad!!!! I love my Le Creuset saucepan and frying pan. I thought they were cast iron with enamel coating! Uh oh. I'd better be much more careful. (I got them at a Le Creuset outlet store in Maryland for about $45!)

opps...there goes $70 dollars down the drain.
matthew - 12/04/08 11:53

OMG, she looks awesome! :)

\m/ TinaTurner \m/

  • We used to say her name in one fast breath in a game we used to play back in the 80s... She was insanely popular in South India in the 80s. LIKE INSANELY POPULAR. EVERYONE and their grand-grandma knew her songs. My favourite is the Golden Eye theme! :)
jacob - 12/03/08 02:03
I think she's trying to attract Trekies.
james - 12/02/08 22:10
Tina, Tina, Tina. You know better than that.
mike - 12/02/08 18:08
how dare tina steal my christmas outfit!
iriesara - 12/02/08 17:18
in fact, she might be getting ready to belt out "we don't need another hero" as we speak!

Great, now that song's in my head.

Not the best moment for Tina, for sure, but better than getting beat down by Ike!
iriesara - 12/02/08 17:15
true, but it's not that far away from Mad Max Beyond the Thunderdome. That (or those, I don't know) were some seriously bad outfits.
hodown - 12/02/08 17:06
Agree about the bod- but the vulcan head piece? I mean they don't make one to match her skin tone? Ok and really just the head piece in general.
iriesara - 12/02/08 17:01
She's like over 70 and has a bod like that. As far as I'm concerned, she can do whatever the fuck she wants. Plus, she's Tina, ya can't mess with that.

I can not believe
that there is a human being that does not know about what happened in India over the holiday weekend.

I work with someone who had NO FUCKING IDEA about the massacre in Mumbai and any sort of background on the story.

One of my biggest pet peeves are people who are clueless about the world we live in and the political/social context that shapes it.

I know at times I come off a vapid or self absorbed, but I read up on politics/current events like a mo fo. It just blows my mind that someone who watches TV could have missed the news updates.

Alright, I'm done with my rant. I just had to get that out.

metalpeter - 12/02/08 19:15
There are some people who don't watch the news or read stuff other then sports because they don't care. Some of it is that they think all those other countries are god forsaken and no good anyways. But then there is the other view that all the news does is show the bad and not the good stories. There is also the view that it is all about money and that is all the news cares about so because of that you get tag lines and nothing in depth. Then some people don't follow the news because all it does is depress them. I will admit all of these are good reasons not to watch it, read it or listen to it. Besides if people talk about things at work then why not just get there take. I won't bring up the fact that maybe the person does follow the news but because of traveling or the holiday didn't see anything about it over that period of time. I know I don't like the news myself but I still expose my self to it anyways to see what I see that is interesting.
jenks - 12/02/08 15:23
yeah, I'm super clueless, and even I knew about this.

And a guy at work (a rabbi) told me that the rabbi that was killed was a good friend of theirs. :( How awful.

  • Am I a gay man? Why do I constantly question myself on this topic?
joshua - 12/02/08 09:39
JJJAAAAAAZZZZ HAAAAANNNDDDDDSSS!!
jacob - 12/02/08 02:45
I have to say she was so great on Arrested Development.
james - 12/01/08 22:00
DON'T SAY THAT PAUL!
paul - 12/01/08 21:55
Well, that and the fact that this is probably her last tour.
metalpeter - 12/01/08 19:13
Wow that is one costly ticket. But when I think about that it is most likely in some Old Fancy Place in NYC that might be a big part of the price.
matthew - 12/01/08 18:44
...and paul is LOVING it!
paul - 12/01/08 18:41
You are so gay. I was straight until I met you, lol. Right now (e:matthew) is making me listen to the Liza album.
matthew - 12/01/08 18:30
You and I both know it's not a matter of how gay you are, but a matter of how much taste you have. :) Gays have better taste! :) I am officially jealous. Enjoy!
