Sunday Ass-Cookoff

It's Sunday and I cooked my ass off. Roasted chicken, au gratin potatoes and garlic green beans. I freaking love au gratin potatoes and I never make them. Mostly because they take like an hour and a half to cook and I don't plan far enough ahead. For the first time since I've had it (for like 8 years) I used the food processor to do something more than chop stuff. I used it to slice the potatoes and shred the cheese - and it was sweet! I long for more discs.

So since I was cooking like all afternoon it got a little warm running the oven for 2 hours and I was sweating my ass off. I'm sure you were dying to know that.

Finally watched 300, aka 2 hours of sweaty beefcake. WTF was up with all the freaky wierdness from the Persians? When the Spartans pushed the enemy over the cliff all I heard was this. I love the internet. Where else can you get such yummy goodness?

Okay, I Suck

It's been 10 days. I suck. I definitely need to try harder. I had a plan but I didn't execute on it - story of my life.

How Much Buttcrack Would a Buttcrack Show If A Buttcrack Could Show Crack?

Well, that's a mouthful. But that's nothing compared to the eyeful of buttcrack I got today from not one but TWO people. Here's a tip: Don't bend over at work.

Another Overheard In The Office Moment:

Visitor: I have a rather large package...
Me: That's TMI, man.

What does it say about me that I'm blogging at 7pm on a friday night? I could be working, I suppose. Is that worse?

Overheard in the Office

It went something like this...

roomie: Why didn't you change my calendar [to August]?
me: I didn't want to get near the underwear.
roomie: You can change my calendar without touching my nuts.

Speaking of nuts - watch this.

In other news...

I hit rock bottom this weekend for 30 minutes flipping between "The Two Coreys" and "Flipping Out". Oh yeah, it was bad. If it helps to think better of me I was sleep deprived and in desperate need of a nap. The guy on "Flipping Out" seriously needs to lay off the collagen in the lips. And "The Two Coreys" was nothing more than a train wreck. Dear Corey Haim, The Lost Boys was 20 years ago and it wasn't even that great. Get. Over. It.

So now I'm on a trek to watch 30 hours of Discovery and History Channel to break even.

Something About Me

I've been catching up on my music and listening to Arcade Fire's Neon Bible. I don't listen to music much at work mostly because I'm up and down from my desk so it's kind of inconvenient. Anyway... who but Arcade Fire can make the organ sound bad ass (at least I think that's an organ on Intervention)? Couple of the songs remind me of The New Pornographers, probably because of the female voice. Watch, someone will tell me that's her and I'll be a total dimwit. I admit, I'm not fanatic about my music. I like what sounds good to my ears and I don't follow the behind-the-scenes scene so I don't know shit about what I'm listening to, I only know it sounds good.

Some bands I like (and own multiple CDs of or would if I knew they had more than one):

Radiohead
The Arcade Fire (obviously)
Snow Patrol
Blue October (funny story - I also own a CD from the UK band and it's pretty damn good, too)
Alanis Morissette (takes me back to my 20s)
Coldplay
Death Cab for Cutie
The New Pornographers
The Shins
The Killers (I'm on a "The" spree)

I used to be a huge Tom Petty fan, even his late stuff. I assume everyone is a U2 fan. Does that date me? I'm old... but I'm worth it.
