Brownie obsession

So I’ve been into brownies lately. Found this one while flipping through a magazine and think it could be possibly the best brownie recipe I’ve tried. So here you go, Lori!

She Who Shall Not Be Named

I never thought naming a pet would be so hard. A lot of names have been tossed around, but none seem to stick. I can only imagine what it’s like to name a baby human. We’re trying to find a two syllable name that doesn’t sound like a command, like “stay” or “no” or “stop [...]

I gave in

.flickr-photo { border: solid 0px #000000; } .flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: center; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } So yeah, I crumbled. It was stupid to ask for a picture, because there was no going back after that.

Better than Ikea

One of my favorite meals from childhood is Swedish meatballs. It was probably the creamy sauce, because I am all about sauce. I asked my mom for the recipe she used and her response was, “Swedish meatballs? I never made those.”Yeah, bullshit, mom. How she cannot remember this, I have no idea. My obsession for [...]

Team Hoyt

Team Hoyt – Dick and Rick Hoyt I challenge you not to turn to complete mush. Thought I’d read about them in Rick Reilly’s column, this is the first time I’ve seen any video. I don’t think it’s necessary to have completed any of the athletic events that they’ve done in order to appreciate the [...]

It’s a disease

There is probably something wrong with me. Yup, I’m signed up. Registration was over halfway filled after being open one day. I knew it was, as Scott says, a “shit or get off the pot” situation. Worst case scenario here is that I can’t find a place to stay that weekend, I can’t go, and [...]

Snapping back to a reality that only has one little shit of a dog in it

I got an nice yet unexpected e-mail from the couple who owns Newman’s parents. Turns out they’re having their last litter and have three female pups available. They wanted to give notice to all of the folks who have adopted dogs in the past from them. Kind of like being a Macy’s credit card holder [...]

No headphones for you!

From this month’s issue of Runner’s World: In 2006, USA Track & Field banned the use of headphones during its sanctioned races, a rule few races have enforced. Until now. Officials from Minneapolis’ Twin Cities Marathon (Oct. 7) scanned finishers’ photos — any runner in heaadphones was disqualified from the 2007 event and will be [...]

Cough drops, turds, it’s all good

I’ve been sick in bed with the flu since around 6AM this morning, leaving the bedroom only for emptying the contents of my bowels in a manner that I would not wish upon anyone, and to let the dog out to pee. At first I chalked the unhappiness up to a few days of eating [...]

Same crap, different year

I’m not exactly starting this year off with a bang, still being unemployed and bored. I considered making some resolutions this year, but they were the same as they always were. The same ones that I never keep, so is there any point in trying? Write every day, exercise more, eat less and better, be [...]
