Enough Is Enough

by

There’s the fact that we move a lot. There’s that. But really? For me to tell you about the first two times a while back, and then for the fire alarm to go off tonight, well that’s just crazy. Twice as scary with all the fires actually happening in California right now. Three times as mad with MK sick in bed.

What I don’t understand is why the fire bells can’t ring at, say, 2pm. When we have our faces and clothes on, not our zit cream and pjs. This is the third time, all three at night. There’s only one explanation – someone is following us all over the Earth pulling alarms to check out our pjs. So please, stop it. We’re both kinda grumpy when we don’t get our sleep, especially when some of us think we’re on our death beds.

I also shudder at the thought one of these is ever real and we laugh and keep playing UNO.

If My Pandora Could Talk

by

Things that my personalized Pandora site would mention to me from time to time. It would, of course, be in a voice similar to Stewie in Family Guy.

“Oh, Spoon, huh? Well, that’s original…hmm. what else you got on there? Interpol? That’s rather similar to – well, Spoon, sort of, isn’t it? So, you want me to suggest something else to broaden your horizons, but probably not too much, since you picked such mellow bands, how about Cold War Kids? You like that, don’t you? I’ll just play a bunch of those songs then.

“Oh wait a minute, did I just get a little crazy and throw in some John Legend there? I bet you have no idea why. Oh, there you go, just clicking the little thumbs down before you’ve even heard it all. Well fine, excuse me for trying to send a little culture your way, what was I thinking? You go back to chilling, here’s some Editors and Iron & Wine. More your speed.

“What? You like Ladytron? And LCD Soundsystem? What am I supposed to do with that? You’re messing with me know, aren’t you? Couldn’t find the band you were looking for, I think it was Sunny Day Real Estate. No? You really want me to play this stuff? You have some friend over you’re trying to impress or something? Well, only once in a while, but mostly it’s going to be Radiohead and popular bands you’ve already heard of. Stop trying to test me for obscurity. Don’t make me come through the computer. I know where you live.”

Dieting With Your Eyes

by

These links are really great. They show you just what you get for you caloric intake.

What does 200 calories look like?

What do 300 calorie meals look like?

It can be tricky to judge whether or not a portion is too big. This helps!

Twenty-four Doritos contain about 300 calories, 16 grams of fat, 4 grams of protein, 38 grams of carbohydrates and 2 grams of fiber.

Is Bread Bread?

by

To tell you the truth, there are a lot of weird little ‘things’ I have. But I don’t think that this is one of them.

MK made me make him a Peanut Burger Jelly (my name, patent pending). This is a blog-worthy problem for me because, duh, peanut butter and jelly goes on sliced bread, not a hamburger roll, which the name clearly implies, is for hamburgers. To me, the shape of the bread changes everything. You can put eggs on a croissant and toast, but a hot dog bun? I wouldn’t.

We did however jump from French Rolls to Whole Wheat hot bog buns for my super duper best ever homemade Meatball Grinders. And that I can handle. It’s similar. But that’s where I draw the line.

So I’m asking you, is bread bread to you? Is anything a suitable sandwich companion?

This is totally the kind of thing we spend all day talking about. It’s fine.
