Cleaning

While cleaning today, I came across a couple of lighting haiku. I'm sure they will boggle the mind.

You want it brighter?
It isn't funny enough?
Of course, I'll fix it

I know, they're stunning!

I love the cartoons with the big mean dog and the teeny kitten!

The clips could be longer, though

iTunes Essentials, under genres and history, has a playlist for every year since the 50's. It's surprisingly fun to go through the 90's lists and reminisce. Right now I'm looking at 1992, and I can remember loving this stuff when I was twelve. I still love some of it. I'm also constantly surprised that some of these songs are so old. It just doesn't seem like that long ago...

More melty cheese

Following the last post, Donald and Mike and I had more Mexican food. We went to Don Chilito's for the first time. It's a place that needs an introduction at the door, to tell you what to do. It's loud in there and a little mystifying for newcomers. You are first presented with a choice of doors to enter, one for take out and one for cafeteria line. Cafeteria line? After entering the cafeteria line door, we found that you are to look at the menu on the wall, then tell your order to the (white) person behind the cafeteria counter. Next you stand and wait to be handed a plate with food on it. While waiting we wondered about chips and salsa, and if they were complimentary. Then you scoot down to the cashier at the end to pay. As we headed to fill our cups at the self serve drink station, we saw what looked like a salad bar. Me being me, I went to check it out. Turns out that's where you get your chips and salsa, as well as sopapillas. The food was adequate, and pretty tasty. I'd eat there again if I was in the area.

Yesterday we made our own Mexican-style food. We made tostadas with beans, seasoned meat, cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, red onions and lettuce. Those turned out very tasty. We also tried making our own queso blanco, like the delicious melty white cheese you get in Mexican restaurants. That was less of a success. It was certainly melty, but not nearly as good at restaurant cheese. Probably due to the quality of melting cheese available at Price Chopper in KC, MO.

I am weak

Last night I told Donald I felt like something with melty cheese for dinner. We went to Manny's, which is a Mexican restaurant the size of a small city block. As I looked at the menu, all I really wanted was nachos- so I caved in to my cheese craving and had nachos for dinner. I still feel silly about it, but they were damn tasty. And it wasn't just cheese, there was beef and beans and tomatoes and sour cream and guacamole. (Mmmm, guacamole.)

I can has photoshop joke?

John Butler Trio - Zebra (Live at Wave Aid)

Damn- that's good stuff

Iron Man

Iron Man lived up to its trailer. This may be brought to you in part by the fact that I can't remember ever reading an Iron Man comic. So I don't know/care about anything they changed for the movie. Robert Downey Jr was terrific. The CG was just right, it didn't stand out too much. Go see it!

If you do go see it, stay until the end of the credits for a little treat.

Incredible Hulk looked okay. Ed Norton looks good. Hell, it's got to be better than the first one, which I thought was dull.
