Golden King Crab - Lithodes aequispinus

I would not wanted to have met this king crab when he was creeping across the bottom of the ocean.

Check out the size of these claws... and I don't have small hands.





I get them at Exclusively Alaskan Good in Eden like every year. The store seems to be less stocked than before and its cash only now but the crab still seems pretty amazing compared to anywhere else I have bought it.

Had a great Christmas morning, first at home with (e:joe) and (e:terry) and then afterwards at my mom's. I got some great kitchen stuff and serving wear including a whole leg of procuitto from (e:terry) which is like a dream come true. (e:mike) liked his unicorn. We even manages to turn the wrapping into a crown.

I went all out with paper cutting and the glue gun this year. This is going to make (e:mike) crazy because:

A. my gifts are wrapped better unless he really steps it up.

B. He isn't going to want to open the gifts because it will destroy the wrapping.

hahaha

On the way to shopping at viddlers in East Aurora we past a business that had this computer displayed in the window. I had an original Vic 20 and was obsessed with commodore for a long time after but I don't remember ever seeing this machine. Maybe it was part of some business line.

Back when I was 16 I had kind of long hair which my Dad was not fond of. At some point I decided to cut my hair shorter but left two longer pieces temporarily. Happend to be the weekend of the boyscout spaghetti dinner. At the dinner I was serving spaghetti when some guy who was a photographer from the Buffalo News asked if he could use my photo for an article he was doing about hair.

Later on it ended up in the paper and my grandma hung it in her fridge. I actually hated the photo. When she died it was the first thing I grabbed so I could destroy it. The other day my cousin Erica was at my great aunt's. Her grandma and found a clipping from the paper. Her grandma told her not to show my because I hated it so much that I even threatend to sue people over it.

And the strange part is thats true but not because I hated the pic but because I went to the galleria and De Bernardenis? hair salon had it blown up like 4ft x2ft and hanging in their store like they had cut my hair. I was so mad. I mean they definately never cut my hair and the pic was definitely the exact pic in the paper.

They ended up taking it down. Now I wish I had gotten the poster.
