You guys do realize that BL1Y is gonna have the last laugh when his roommates get him a CB Radio for his car bed
This seems like as good a time as any to talk about my cat, Tugboat. Exhibit A, a mostly black cat: BUT WHAT'S THIS? The roots of his fur are white?? Maybe this is common, but I've never seen it before. If I shaved half the length of Tugboat's fur off, he would be snow white.
To atone for my love of obliques, this is what I will be attempting to make for Memorial Day: Chorizo burger with manchego and a fried egg.
That doesn't sound bad. I decided that my hangover probably needed some protein and have no food in the house, so I settled for tuna. Can't say it was great. Tonight I have a margarita party. If there is one thing that I know cures a hangover, it is copious amounts of tequila.
I've eaten nothing but chicken in some way shape or form for the last week and I think my anemia wasn't taking kindly to that. I needed some red meat! I'm okay with burger patties dressed up in fancy clothes but I'm not really a traditional hamburger kind of person. And tequila? Icky!
Maybe Tugboat should be named (Uncle) Tom? Or perhaps he's just pulling a John Howard Griffin. For the record, Tugboat is an awesome name for that cat. He just looks like a Tugboat.
Holy shit, I still can't believe that I got permanent residence. This makes life so much easier. I am drained. Super successful yard sale, but it was tiring, and then the official decision coming through. My mother is not thrilled. On the yard sale front, holy shit people are fucking vultures. We were setting up at 7am and people were showing up. One woman was aghast that we weren't open yet.
I'm making burgers and brats on Memorial Day and hopefully finding a kiddie pool that I can fill with beer and ice. I've got a few friends coming over with their girlfriends so my girlfriend can meet some more girls around here and I can drink with them. Today I grilled something a little more refined to make for a nice surprise lunch for my girlfriend. I made Alton Brown's mashed potatoes and just spinach with balsamic vinegar and olive oil and I got big chunk of watermelon for a light dessert. She's from KC and is starting to like beer and prefers wheat beers so I picked up a Boulevard sample pack for her and a Schell sample pack for me (and whatever she doesn't like will be consumed by me). Spoiler Until today I'd never had lobster so I didn't really know how to cook it but it's pretty damn good grilled in a smoky charcoal grill and the flesh covered in butter and lemon. It was great outside for awhile today so I set up a small table out on the back porch. As soon as the last dish was inside it started to rain.
Can someone consolidate the shit talking? I'm sick of Bum's avatar scrolling by after every damn post... Here is an offering... Spoiler
Man, you take one nap, and you miss a conversation about a cat that uses Just for Men. Silly kitty, dyes are for guys! Comic related.
What a great day. Went and did some banking, then figured it was time to flesh out the tool collection a little bit. Went to Canadian Tire, and loaded up with a few new tools; drill press, wet/dry grinder, a few pneumatics, and some welding supplies. Get to the check out counter, and have a friendly chat with the cute chick at the till. There's some sort of kiddie playground promotion going on in the parking lot, and she was asking if I was going to go jump in the bouncy castle. "Pshaw... that's amateur hour. I have a trampoline on a lake". She laughs, says "fuck off", and I show her the pic. Next thing I know, she's grabbing some sort of "rip and win" brochures from a stack and ripping them apart. Took 5 minutes, but she comes up with a 50% off winner. GOLD! Then she gives me her number, and says she loves trampolines. Hahahahahahahahaha! Hilarious.
