There are some foods that I can eat infinite amounts of. Not because I love them so much, but because they seem to turn into air when they enter my body, or something, I dunno. Salami, for instance. I will eat any amount of salami you put in front of me. Ego waffles are an extreme case, but they don't really count because I suspect...

Today the UPS man came with a big box. Inside was a big blue bag with a big green ribbon tied around in. Inside the blue bag was a big black box. And inside the big black box was a little silver computer.
Oh yes!
I fucking love widgets.

Ah, yes, 'the other woman'. She & I are actually going to be living together next semester -- I almost relish the thought of his being that much more crippled with awkwardness. And now, of course, I'm just waiting for the day when I can tell his current paramour a long history.
The worst part is that she went on medical leave for 3 semester, and when she came back, he barely acknowledged her. Only after she told me about their weird and awkward history (after I'd broken up with him) did all of our mutual friends confirm exactly what had gone down. It doesn't help that both myself & his current girlfriend easily could have been replacements for her.
But I suppose it makes sense. There are certain personality traits we all share that certain men can recognize... and completely fuck up. Eh.
I'm so fucking full of sushi right now. I want to die reeking vaguely of nori. YUM!

I see that Al apparently thinks she's up to performing my usual work. I don't think she grasps the endurance and focus necessary.
Good job though, badass. And don't feel bad, I'm not allowed to drink coffee, either.

It's somehow very satisfying to squish a spider with a book entitled Animal Rights.

Oh wait, you can't say hi to him. He doesn't have a journal up yet. Well, go read his profile or something.

Life has been busy but not all that exciting lately. I've just been out and about a lot, drinking, seeing movies, whatever. I went downtown with Lindsey for breakfast today, that was pretty rad. Then we raced back to Hyde Park so that I could make it to my haircutting apointment.

Embrace the power tools. There are very few haircuts that cannot be radically enhanced by 1600 watts. I blow dry mine up into a glorious anglo-puff, and the pompadour that shit back with some american crew. My well-coiffed thick mane is the envy of all who witness it. The bigger the better.
Yesterday was pretty fucking rad. Rob and I went to the Bodyworlds exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry, which I've been wanting to see since it started touring Europe in '99. I examined everything very carefully, and barraged a very nice young lady at the medical information desk with questions. The only thing that tripped me up was the plastinated pregnant lady with...

Seriously, don't call me before 9 am. Especially if I don't like you.
So, my plan was to spend all of today doing homework, so that I'd have lots of free time next week to play with my beloved somelameo. And here it is, 16:30, and I'm about to get started on work...

I should be here all of august, though probably working. If you're here for my birthday (8.13) that'd be totally sweet.
Boise is fascinating.
One of the coolest things about digging through all of my old shit was finding love letters written to me by ex boy/girlfriends. I'm pretty hot shit, it turns out. Intriguing, mysterious, sexy... but of course you knew all that.
Another awesome event was finding a box of my parents' old clothes from the 80's. I can't believe how skinny my dad...

The recipe looks to be pretty standard... couple of questions for ya!
What kind of cornmeal are you using? If it's "mealy" I'm guessing you mean it's too grainy in texture? Either a finer grind of cornmeal, or letting the batter SIT and rest for a while should help with that... (probably try resting it, for like 30 mins-few hours in the fridge before pouring the batter.)
If they're flat, usually means there's too much liquid in the batter... or the batter is overmixed, or there's not enough air whipped into the dry ingredients 1st.
For example... take your standard pancake mix... if you whip and whip and whip up the dry mix before adding your liquids.. you can get them to be almost like little cake towers, in your griddle.
Try this (since I don't have any milk in the house to try your recipe tonight...)
Toss all the dry dry ingredients in a big bowl (cept for the sugar)... and use a whisk and fluff up the ingredients for a few minutes.
In a seperate bowl, whisk up your eggs nice and well, and mix in the sugar. To this, add your milk, and cooled melted butter.
When you've got your dry ingredients (minus sugar) all light and fluffy, and wet ingredients (plus sugar) all well mixed, pour the wet into the dry.
Don't overmix the two... just enough to get everything wet. (Little lumps in the mix are OK, and desireable).
Pour out a johnnycake.... cook it up... see how it is.
Hopefully they'll be thicker and more cake like.
If they're still "grainy" then set the bowl into the fridge for about an hour or so... this'll give the cornmeal (and flour) time to absorb the liquid and "plump" up a little bit.
Try again in an hour... and you should be on your way to success! If NOT... lemme know what happened, and we'll adjust your ingredients/cornmeal fineness/soak the cornmeal in the milk before making the mix.
Good luck!

i'll be spending my friday night with the lovely miss inbetweenpinki, oh yes! the rest of my weekend in potato land is going to involve unpacking and repacking boxes. on the bright side though, there will be many, many boxes of books involved, so it'll kind of be like christmas.

Aw, thanks for all the nameday wishes guys, that was real nice.

Your Saturday sounds a whole lot like mine except with less walking around and entertainment. I woke up Sunday morning with a terrible case of cold sweats and shaking limbs. I was so hungover I could barely stand.
Damn you tequila!!
Damn you tequila!!
But I've always kinda been partial to calling myself up on the phone and asking myself out, you know? Oh yeah, you call yourself up too huh? Yeah, well one thing about it, you're always around. Yeah I know, yeah you ask yourself out, you know, some class joint somewhere. The Buretto King or something, you know. Well I ain't cheap you know. Take yourself...

There was a time when I was fluent in German. I lived in Bonn for a few months in 1995, but that was pretty much the last time I spoke German to anyone but myself. I'm probably developing my own dialect.
