Good News!

No, I'm not going to tell you how your eternal soul is going to be saved. Got no idea on that one, no sir.

However, there has been too much navel-gazing negativity on here lately. So today we will concentrate on happy things.

The new cats are making slow but sure progress adjusting to their new home.

Curling season starts tomorrow for the Mrs. and I, it'll be good to see our curling friends on a regular basis again. The game itself will be even more of an adventure than usual since I haven't set foot on the ice in 6 months. Sorry in advance about that Aaron.

Fall is a great season. Good sleeping weather.

WFMU is having "Singles Going Steady" week to promote the record fair this weekend with many DJ's playing nothing but old-fashioned 45 RPM records. A lot of fun shows so far this week.

The Habs are off to a good start. The Rangers are up and down but not terrible.

See, there's plenty going on to distract or detract from the creeping doom. The ceaseless ticking of the clock. The knowledge of one's own mortality.

Aw see? I stop concentrating for a minute and this post goes all Goth chick or something. Let's try that again:

See, there are plenty of things going on to make life joyful and wondrous, filled with rainbows and unicorns. Wait a minute, unicorns don't exist. Better cross them out. Wait, how do I go back and do that? What's the HTML coding again? Dammit, why can't I get this happy crap right, stupid blogger templ...

Ahem.

See, there are plenty of things going on to take your mind of the slow decline into..

NOW CUT THAT OUT STUPID VOICE IN MY HEAD CONTROLLING MY HANDS TYPING ON THE KEYBOARD!!! As Homer J. Simpson once said, "Look brain, you don't like me and I don't like you. So let's just figure this out and then I'll go back to killing you with alcohol. Deal?"

Now.

See, there are plenty of things to fill your life with happiness and wonder. The furry warmth of a beloved pet, the joy of spending time with friends and family, and the unparalleled beauty of nature. So get out there and live, live to the fullest!

(Now where's my freakin' bourbon, fat boy? Hey, you weren't supposed to type that. Well I did, what are you going to do about it? Must hit "publish post" now....stop madness....)

If unicorns don't exist then where do rainbows come from? I was told that unicorns fart rainbows.

This is a Sweetmeal Digestive Biscuit . It is the finest cracker I have ever eaten. I love it with either a bit of mild blue cheese (which unfortunately for me they only identify as "blue mould cheese" on the buffet) or on its own. It is delicious, and I will be harassing my nephew who is currently in the UK for the summer to bring some back for me as I don't think they're easily found in the US. What else have I been eating? Well, finally had some reindeer filet last night. Looks like beef, is tender like filet mignon but has a slightly stronger beefy flavor. Still, if I told you it was cow you'd probably believe it. The difference is subtle. It was served with a "potato cake", really scalloped and gratined potatoes formed into a square and a berry (forgot which one) sauce. Enjoyed that dish at the Glenfiddich restaurant in Gamla Stan which besides obviously having a wide selection of single malts claimed to serve the largest variety of Swedish microbre

Wizard Of Oz-Dark Side Of The Moon Blog For Top Chef

Concept: since Bravo repeats every episode of Top Chef a kajillion times, you can have the experience of watching the episode with me any time by following along with this blog entry. Basically, it's a Dark Side Of The Moon-Wizard Of Oz concept. You know how you're supposed to start DSOM at the moment Wizard Of Oz goes into color and there's a weird synchronicity between the music and the movie? Well that's how this works. The numbers next to each reaction correspond to minutes past the start of the episode so even if you recorded you can "sync up" with me. Sound fun? Here goes: Top Chef Season 4, episode 2. (Spoilers ahoy, by the way) -1 yell at wife to turn off weather channel and put on Bravo 0 last week's recap. How come the winner of the challenge didn't at least get Padma's new cookbook or some autographed smack from Bourdain or something? 4 one of the chicks is wearing those 70s sunglasses. Does anyone think that's attract

Anniversary Day

Happy anniversary to my lovely wife. I like to think I've given her four of the happiest years of her life. Of course we were married on this date in 1990 so you can do the math on that one. But seriously folks....I'm very, very lucky to have her. I hope she's having as much fun as I am.
