What Is Happening?
Started the day vomiting my guts out.
Ended it by getting offered a new job completely out of the blue.
Halloween, amirite?

Halloween Costume
OMG, you guys, I’m so excited about my halloween costume.
I’m going to go out as a guy with mild gastroenteritis or some other sort of 24 hour bug.
This character I invented has the shits and was throwing up all morning, so he’s pretty haggard. He’s also achy and tired and is rocking a nasty headache, a headache that was quite enhanced when he got nauseous and dizzy after...

Case Studies: Lies
Yeah, this video pretty much captures my life.
Just replace all the ridiculously cute girls with spreadsheets and all of the outdoor time with sitting on my couch eating Chinese take-out, and it’s me!

Parmesan Belly Buster
I’m back in the States and I miss Parma already. And not just for the television:
While I’ve had some great meals in my life, I’ve never experienced a stretch of so much good food all in a row. It was three days of oohs and ahhs and holy shits.
Parma is most well known for its salumi, or cured meats. By far, my favorite thing was Culatello di Zibello, known as “the king...
Now he was stepping in front of the camera as Mister Rogers, and he wanted to do...
– Pittsburgh in Words - Can You Say … ‘Hero’? by Tom Junod (via themattsmith)
This is one of my favorite articles of all time.
Did you know that most of the Mr. Rogers episodes stream on Amazon Prime? I didn’t until a couple of weeks ago. I had been thinking of buying DVDs so my son (2.5 -...

Parma Feeding Recap
Yesterday, I ate wild boar.
Today, I ate rabbit.
Tomorrow, I am going to eat horse.
Maybe.
I don’t know.
What have I become?
EX-VEGAN ANIMAL REVENGE FORCE!
Seabiscuit ‘n’ gravy, please.
Actually, some places here sell a pesto cavallo, which is a horse pesto, and the horse is not quite fully cooked. A little tartare horse action?
I just don’t know what is happening...

mfred replied to your photo: So, erm, I bought $90 worth of internet cheese. …
SAVE THE RINDS. Next time you make soup, shave off the wax, chuck the rinds in, simmer. Melts into your soup, tastes like cheese heaven.
My freezer is 90% parm rinds. And 10% shrimp shells.

Came very close to getting a Zipcar, to find a Taco Bell, to try the XXL Chalupa.
Fat for life. Lord have mercy.
I am all for being open and honest on the internet, but some things should be buried deep deep down. Like a Sarah Palin Presidency or a Hulk Hogan-hosted reality show about wrestling dwarves, this scenario is completely outside my ability to imagine. I am only...

You can take the test at our party on October 14th or register online to receive a kit!

I highly recommend this browser extension, which blocks web trackers.
I’m not a privacy nut, but all things being equal, I’d just as soon not be tracked like a mofo. The new Facebook stuff heightened my concerns a bit — it never crossed my mind that that those Facebook and Twitter buttons were tracking me regardless of whether I clicked on them or not.
