Ah-ha!

Thanks for reminding me of that Now I need to like get one of those videos. I don't know much about the country really. But some stuff is very traditional and then you also have animee and cosplay. Yet on subways no one talks and they had all these sliding phones years before they came here so they could text away.

Japan is so weird. In some ways they are ultra conservative and other ways they are just plain freaky. Bukake (spelling?) is all you gotta say.
metalpeter - 03/23/10 18:06
I'm going to attack America here instead of Japan. Yes it is a dog suite and yes I have no idea what is being said and if it is for treats for the dog or for the kid. Ha think about how excited scoby would get fro a scoby snack! Now is this really any different then the ads we have with cats who sing the Meow Mix song, or who's eyes get huge. As Much as I love them how about all those Bud ads with horses playing football? Out ads are just as wacky.

Sadly, this was a mug of coffee at my house that sat out overnight, and the pattern was cream separating and rising to the top.

jason - 03/23/10 17:51
I love coffee art!!
tinypliny - 03/22/10 00:18
1. Wow.

2. Wow!

3. Wow. How did they get THAT pattern - did they spray on the foam with garden hose? Were you all soaked in milk foam?!
jim - 03/21/10 15:19
That was quick: :::link:::
jim - 03/21/10 15:06
That's coffee with cream actually lol.

Actinoform is a type of radial cloud, that the cream reminded me of :::link:::

You were at a restaurant that makes you eat fungus - fresh from the culture plate?

The Cat Came Back, the Very Next Day
My cat snuck outside last night, and I couldn't find him. But he showed up on the porch this morning.

My cat is 50% evil and 50% cuddly and 100% awesome. I hate him sometimes but I was very sad not to have him sleeping on my feet last night.

tinypliny - 03/22/10 00:19
It was not that cold yesterday - I am sure he had a swell time tormenting bunnies in the hood.
jim - 03/21/10 15:05
If there was an awesome place for him to go to, I'd be OK with giving him away. I've dated a couple guys recently who were allergic to cats, and plus James sort of hates the cat :)

I don't wish the cat ill though, I was really sad when he snuck out and was probably freezing all night.
tinypliny - 03/21/10 14:41
Awesome picture btw. You make one cute pair. :)

I thought you were giving Otto away...

A++++++
Zetti's at 976 Elmwood near Bidwell. Pizza is awesome. Everything is
awesome. No reason to ever again go to Casa Di Pizza.

paul - 03/20/10 11:32
That penne looks yummy but I was torn on the pizza, we had it from St Patricks day. Maybe its just because we had plain pizza but I am more of a fan of thicker pizza.

As for Casa, I was done with that place after the sickenwings (e:39650)
tinypliny - 03/19/10 23:37
Um. Casa was never any good, at least according to me. I would go to Ambrosia across that street ANYDAY over Casa.
metalpeter - 03/19/10 18:44
Noodles Look Tasty, and before it was Sahara it was Just Pizza, I think when they really Just Had Pizza.
matthew - 03/19/10 11:34
I wonder if they make gluten free pizza.
jim - 03/19/10 11:28
I think it's better -- seems like Paul & Mike disagree :)
theecarey - 03/19/10 11:05
I saw they took up residence at the old Sahara Grill but haven't been in yet. Better than Casa, huh? Now I am intrigued..
jason - 03/19/10 08:41
Nice. Thanks for the tip
tinypliny - 03/18/10 23:09
Maybe you caught them on a wrong day? Because my was REALLY crispy with a light and refreshing smattering of cheese - almost like a light crispy cheese cracker with garlic, onions and peppers. mmmmm....
mike - 03/18/10 21:50
i know i am like the only person that feels this way besides (e:paul) but I do not like their pizza. It reminded me of putt-putt/the pizza they served at middle school. Wet cardboardy crust with government gluey cheese.
tinypliny - 03/18/10 21:21
Wow - they are HERE! I really like their pizza!

Category: work
Work is crazy. In the next two weeks lots to do but we launch the app we've been developing March 29th! Security audits, data integrity checks, integration stuff. Blah blah blah.

But soon -- very soon -- it will help decide which kids get into, or not into, colleges. Kinda scary to hold so many futures in my hands. This is pretty much the biggest thing I've ever done professionally.

One downside, it's making me look old and grumpy:

But I can live with that :)

I also got a really nice annual review, I'm pretty down on myself usually but feel awesome for a few days after something like that going well.

Back to work...
tinypliny - 03/18/10 21:21
Good Luck!!!
