MEAT!!!

About two days after Mardi Gras, I realized that I hadn't decided what I was giving up for Lent. usually I have this thought out in advance, but Mardi Gras snuck up on me this year. I thought it started March 11th, and I was off by a week. Then I noticed that I hadn't had meat since before fat tuesday, so that ended up being this year's sacrifice. It isn't a significant part of my food intake anyway so I didn't think anything of it.

Cut to three weeks later...

I want meat. I REALLY want it. Even though I didn't think much of it at the time I decided to forego it, making something forbidden makes it that much more tempting. I realized a day or two ago that I still have three more weeks to go before meat is back on the menu. That was a very depressing thought. I promised myself I would get a big, juicy burger when Lent is over. Of course that just makes me that less patient for this to be over.

Happy Valentine's Day

MyTunes Monday: Requiem For A Soldier

This might sound familiar to you. It's the theme from "Band of Brothers." If you have never seen that miniseries, I definitely recommend watching it. Happy Memorial Day folks.

Steak & BJ Day

Halfway Through

We're about halfway through Lent and...I'm starting to lose it. Every time I think of something I want to eat, I remember that I can't because I gave it up for Lent. There are still 18 days left until Lent is over and I might have to cut a bitch. I especially miss cheese which is one of my favourite foods. I miss chocolate. I miss so many things.

Hipsters On Valentine's Day

One Week Left...

It's one week before Mardi Gras, which means that it's almost time to start giving stuff up. Usually I give up certain foods to which I'm particular susceptible, which I'll be doing again this year. Here's the rub. Lent starts February 13th this year, i.e. the day before Valentines. I also have a tradition of eating ice cream on Valentines if I'm single...which I am, but ice cream (read: sweets) are also going on the chopping block for 40 days and 40 nights. DILEMMA!!! First world problems...

So here is what will happen. I'll probably suspend my Lent rules for this one particular instance. I know, technically it's cheating, but I'll find some way to assuage my conscience (i.e. with said ice cream).

Besides which, I have some lbs to lose. I'm going to a concert in two months and I'll be seeing a bunch of people I haven't seen in a while. Gotta look good for that. And with the big three Zero bearing down on me, I'm bound and determined to have an actual 6-pack before the end of May. This should all be sufficient motivation to eat right. Now if the damned weather would cooperate so I could run outside without freezing my kiester off...

P.S. Am I the only one who took forever to realize that fat Tuesday is the literal translation of Mardi Gras? Oh well, I don't speak French, so there's that.

Merry Gay Christmas!!!

Cyber Monday Haul

I despise Black Friday. I don't want to deal with all of those hoards of people fighting each other for this years' electronics which will be irrelevant by the same time next year. I stayed in and slept, then went off to work (ironically, I had to deal with hoards of people there). Almost 30 hours at work over the course of 3 days. Some bitches almost got cut.

I really don't like how the season of togetherness, good will towards men, and being thankful starts with ridiculous amounts of buying stuff on DAY ONE!!! How hypocritical.

Black Friday is terrible. I much prefer Cyber Monday. In fact, I just ordered a bunch of stuff from Amazon:

-The Vampire Diaries: Season One (one of my favourite shows)

-Fifth Element

-American Dad: Volume 4

-Serenity

-The Federalist Papers (which should be required high school history reading)

-A Team of Rivals (a book about President Lincoln's cabinet by the very awesome Doris Kearns Goodwin)

Just under $90. I would have also gotten "Soapdish" (one of my top 10 films) and "A Chorus Line," but they were out of stock when I made the order...but were back in stock moments later. Uhhh... (first world problems).

I'm excited for this arrival.

Black Friday, Should The Tradition End?

To Those Who Serve...

We will never be able to thank you adequately. What you do and have done is incalculably important and this country would not be what it is without you. America is the light because of the sacrifices you and your families have made.

What I Learned About Wearing Fangs (& Other Halloween Stuff)

When I was a kid I really wanted to be a vampire for Halloween. For whatever reason, vampires help a special fascination in my mind. I've actually had a pair of fangs since before last Halloween, but I didn't use them then. Well, I finally used them last night. There were some things about them I didn't really expect so here are some things you should know before using them:

1) They feel slightly awkward at first, but then you get used to them.

2) You will salivate more than normal.

3) You will have a slight lisp, but it was easier to speak than I thought it would be.

4) If you wear them for a long period of time and then take them out, it will feel like they're still there for quite a while (the phantom tooth effect).

While I was downtown last night, I hit the mother-lode. Not only did I find Waldo, I found seven of them in one place. There was also Quailman which always brings a smile to my face since it reminds me of my childhood. There was a girl dressed as a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, and her costume was legit, all the way to half of her ass hanging out of the...I guess I can't call them pants.

There were two things I found puzzling. One of them was that apparently some guys think that merely wearing a jersey (without pads or anything like that) constitutes a Halloween costume. Fail. The other thing is that I saw a bunch of guys throughout the night that were wearing flannels tops and short-shorts or cut-off jeans, the kind of pants most people would think gay guys wear in San Fran. I'm pretty sure most of these guys were straight (not that I asked), so...I just don't get it. Not that I'm complaining about that one, some of them had some nice legs.
