It is interesting how much my time spent on a computer has increased, since I am at a location with better access. Fortunately, it has not increased with surfing the net, and it would mainly be spent here reading profiles and writing various comments, with the exception of e-mailing friends and stuff.
Happy Mother's Day!

It has been a cool and windy day over here, which makes me more comfortable since I would rather be cold than hot. I had a surreal moment yesterday while I was grilling outside. The sky was covered by these deep black clouds which blocked out everything and the birds stopped singing. At one point, the clouds parted behind the house with sunlight streaming in...

I found some great cookbooks on Sunday, when I have not even finished reading some of the ones I currently have. It is so nice to get different perspectives about how to do certain things, and then to combine and/or change the differences to come up with something that works or is pleasing for you.

He and his audience are fucking annoying, but the food at that place is so damn good i sat at the bar and ate 2 nights in a row.
Working the election polls was interesting, but ultimately rather dull. It was easy money though.
I cooked for three large gatherings while family was in town. The meals turned out well, but I was unhappy with some of the results. I have been getting nice results from Amanda Hessner's recipes.
I got the new TOOL album 2 days ago. When the first song was against...

Oh dude. Believe me. It was...alright, it makes a fine anecdote. But at the time, I swear to god, I could hear the Jaws music in my head.

Robocop criterion collection? no no no. It's out of print, actually. Any time you find a copy to buy, if it's not over a hundred, it's a bootleg.
One of my fellow film geeks just happened to buy it before it went out of print.

Family is in town, so it is fun to be with them and catch up on events. I really enjoyed Memoirs of a Geisha. I am reading His Master's Voice by Stanislaw Lem and Shelby Foote's Civil War Trilogy; both are currently excellent!
Tomorrow is a primary election for Indiana, so all you Hoosiers get out and vote.

Just thought I'd say hi. I saw your slow food post from a while ago. Thanks for the post, I belive it to be one of the most important yet subtle movments of our time. Have you read any Wendell Berry?
I was at the Yeah Yeah Yeahs Wednesday concert in St. Louis and had a very good time. Got to hang out with good friends, drink good beer, eat good pizza, and see a fun show. This weekend, I will be doing wedding stuff since I am the Best Man.

I am still reading "Half Life" and it is a good read on the technical Sci-Fi side. I am currently reading 2 cookbooks off & on, which deal with gardening/seasonality & bones. I am trying to finish up "Memoirs of a Geisha" even though I pretty much figured out what is going to happen; I hate to not finish a book I have been reading....

Thnigs have been moving along, slowly. A family member died last week, so it has been an emotional situation crammed with a lot of activity; I did get to see lots of family though.

It has been an interesting time back home, and a bit of a culture shock after living in St. Louis for about 6 years. I have finished everything I set out to do, so now I am just sitting around and waiting. Fortunately, I will be going on a vacation to Sicily & Southern Italy, which will cut into my waiting around.
However, I did also find out today that the quick method for a new path will not work since I was not accepted, yet it was the option that I was the most unsure of. It is presently a true time of waiting for me.

The Italy trip went very well. It was eventful, insightful, and I was the only one on the trip who was not ill in some form.
3 nights in Palermo. 1 night in Agrigento. 1 night in Ragusa Ibla. 3 nights in Syracusa. 2 nights in Taormino. 3 nughts in Ravello. 2 nights in Napoli.
The food & wine was excellent! The sights were interesting, with many sections closed off for whatever reason. There was a cold spell, so the weather was not the best; there was snow and abnormally low temperatures for most of the time in Sicily.
