I making faux ribs tonight. By that I mean country style ribs. I know they lack the bone, but for less than six bucks I can get more meat than is on an entire rack that goes for over double the cost. I find if I rub them and slooooow roast they come out pretty much just as good. Just...no bone. Throw in some cornbread...

I made chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and cream gravy last night. I made the cream gravy with the drippings and fat from the previous nights' roasted pork, so it was extra good. That leftover pork will probably become enchiladas tonight. I'm such a fatty, but I can't help it. Food is good.

Cold is here officially. I like it/ hate it. The biggest...

I almost ran over a pack of scene kids on the way home from the sandwich shop. Little fuckers were all crouched down in the street writing with chalk. Probably bad poetry. I had to come to a complete stop after which they stared at me for a few seconds before even moving to get out of the street. Fuck. I should of crushed them...

I'm the epitome of a dork as I sit here in my room, trying to play the themes to Metroid, Castlevania, and Friday the 13th ala the NES. Woo me!

I got a 96% on my chem test! Woo hoo! I'm smert.

Also, the stray cat I'm homies with has been conditioned to come sprinting to my backyard when I open my grill to start cooking. Probably because I left the fat trimmings from my steak out for it last grill session. I decided to name it Steve.

Recently I began face douching. It's really cleared my sinuses out a lot and I can breathe much easier. Pretty much eliminated my need for nasal spray and whatnot too. So I've got that going for me...which is nice.

Today I make:

-Deviled eggs
-Turkey
-Wild rice and sausage stuffing
-Green bean mushroom casserole
-Mashed potatoes
-Gravy

Also, there will be drinking. A lot of...

The weather finally seems to be getting cold. That's ok with me because I enjoy it. I'd like a good heavy snow, but here it's probably too much to ask for. While I don't like scooping it or driving in it I do like the atmosphere of it. The quiet stillness that always seems to come about when the snow falls. I love it. Nothing...

My downstairs shitter backed up about ten gallons of grey water from the back neighbor's dishwasher and washing machine. That was pretty awesome. The landlord had to have his manservant snake the drain out to the sidewalk, which fixed things right up. Except for the small flood of evil.

Much bleach was poured today.

So this being a college town there are a lot of bikers. I'm always extra careful to keep an eye out for them and from what I've seen the vast majority of other drivers around town do the same. The town helps a lot too, even marking the major roads with lanes specifically for bicyclists. So why can't the bikers bend back a little and...

Sick blog: Day 2

Dear Robitussin:

You taste awful, but I love you.

Sincerely,

Snake


In other news, I want chex mix. Not the crappy premade bagged kind, but the homemade stuff we always had around the house during the holidays. And some of those ranch oyster crackers too. Both kind of make beer taste weird, but what the hell. It's delicious.

Am...

Wow. My first cold in forever. My nose is cloggy, my throat is raw, and I've got a cough. I just don't really get sick that often so when it happens it's an event. The longest span I went without a cold was the three years after I contracted Mononucleosis. Why, I don't know. I never treated the mono, so I theorize that my immune...

I had a strange dream I was with a bunch of friends exploring a weird old haunted / creepy house. It was very Session 9.

I also have a strange obsession with hot wings right now. Hopefully next week I'll have a lust for lipitor and Smart Choice margarine and it'll all even out.
