yesterday while waiting for a cup of coffee at ING, saw a company advert for a money management seminar to be held at the cafe (free coffee) and the need to rsvp re: attendance. since I was there already, used one of their computers and answered 2 or 3 survey questions. They then let me know I was signed up for "families in disaster." will attend but will now *not* open an account with them. Wonder who was the corporate idiot that thought that one up.

saw a good show this past weekend. at first, thought you had to have the assistants turn the book pages but when walking back to the main floor noticed what I had originally mistaken (cursory glance) for a sculpture was a bowl full of surgical gloves on a pedestal. Next time, will look at the books.

snow pics from yesterday:












Hey I know you!

recognized a female barkeep (Bonner's Irish Pub) who was walking down the street this a.m. talking on her cell phone. Was listening to the cd walkman so probably spoke louder than usual (headphones hidden by knit cap). She seemed sorta startled, yet non-plussed, rolled her eyes, gave a half-hearted wave and kept walking while talking on the phone. don't know whether she was also chewing gum.

Hey I know you! (part two)

the last time I recognized/startled someone on the street was about a year ago. (was one of the guys in the band the clockcleaners.) happened in Chinatown. told myself, don't ever do that again... people think its kinda weird.

Yesterday, while on location, Allan Smithee was asked "Why are you living in Philadelphia?"

"Had been in Denver for about 10 days maybe two weeks. A large convention, pharmaceutical companies, came to town taking all the hotel rooms, literally. Didn't have a place to stay. So I took the shuttle bus to the airport not knowing where on the East Coast I would end up. On the ride to the airport there were a couple of attorneys sitting in the seat in front of me. They were talking about Philly. Had no destination so I thought "why not?" Bought a ticket, took the next flight, and here I am."

SNAPPY CHEESE STICKS*

1 stick pie crust mix
1/2 c. shredded sharp natural Cheddar cheese
1/8 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. paprika

Prepare pie crust mix according to package directions. Add cheese, mustard and paprika until mixture forms a ball. Roll dough on lightly floured surface to 12 x 8 inch rectangle. With pastry wheel or knife, cut into 4 x 1/2 inch rectangles. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake in hot oven (425 degree) for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 4 dozen sticks.

*note: this recipe is the closest one found that compares to the one that was used during holidays/for family treats. That recipe though used Cheez Whiz and a pastry gun. mmm, mmm, mmm... baked cheese sticks, a favorite.

obvious cooking tip:

when using frozen vegetables as a side dish, no need to defrost or nuke before cooking. just throw the frozen block/pieces into a pan and heat. while cooking, will defrost/thaw.

Sunday Sermon: text excerpted from an evangelical tract*

What about 666? Let's take a shocking look.

On the Pope's official mitre has been seen the title "Vicarius Filii Dei," which means "Vicar of the Son of God." The claim that this is his official title has been stated publicly through the years.

In Revelation 13:18 it says, "Count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six (666)."

V = 5
I = 1
C = 100
A = 0
R = 0
I = 1
U = 5
S = 0

F = 0
I = 1
L = 50
I = 1
I = 1

D = 500
E = 0
I = 1

Total = 666

long distance boomerang world record is 238 meters (1108.92 ft), held by Manuel Schutz of Switzerland. The boomerang's total flight path would have exceeded 500 meters (1640.42 ft). More boomerang info

records surprisingly not set or at least not found on the net:

can kicking endurance record
frisbee retrieving distance by a dog
yo-yoing marathon endurance record

addendum: in 19something or another, Ralph Malph, of "Happy Days" fame attempted the world record for "lowest jump". The Guinness Book of Records representative did not acknowledge it. Saw the episode. think he succeeded.

Dead Boys and Heavy Seats

I had just gotten home from a funeral,
one that I was notified of at the last minute
inconveniently. All selfishness aside, it was
for a dear friend's two sons, a drowning
accident I was told. The classic, one trying
to save the other and both die,
tragic situation. The two coffins were
side by side and the priest spoke
twice as long than the last
burial I attended.

Upon returning home, my wife asked me
if she could pour me a cup of soup. She
asked if everything was alright, and how
the funeral was. "Yeah, thanks, sure, I'll
have a little soup, I guess," I said. She
didn't take her eyes off me while I took my
coat off, put my keys on the table,
and breathed out that glad to be home
and unwind breath.

She started in about her awful morning
at work, and the stress caused by the
senseless and dull personal problems
of both co-workers and clients.
I couldn't help interrupting her.
"You know I hate cooked broccoli,
even in soup, you
know this. Why would you offer me
soup with that shit in it, when you know
that I hate it?"

I thought of the boys in their coffins
and the young deaths
upon which they were handed.
My wife apologized and started picking
the broccoli out of the near boiling soup
with her skinny fingers. I watched her struggle
for a few seconds and then
I pulled the bowl away from her reach.
I looked straight in her eyes
and said, "I'm sorry honey.
I didn't mean to take anything out on
you. It's been a long crazy day . Tell me about
your morning, and here's the new battery
for your watch, here, sit down."

Mexico vs United States -

think traffic lights* in Mexico are superior to those in the U.S. In America, before a red light, and after the green light, you have a solid yellow light warning drivers the light is about to turn red. The old joke... yellow light means floor it. In Mexico, when the light goes yellow, it slowly blinks four or five times then turns solid yellow for very short time, then red. think drivers would instinctively slow down for a blinking yellow light. When the solid yellow light appears, doesn't seem like driver would floor it but stop knowing the red light will quickly appear.

*traffic light invented by Garrett Morgan who also invented the gas mask. info via cartoon "Jump Start" by Robb Armstrong. note: there is some controversary re: that statement. google for more info

Food Stuff Consumption And Miscellany

Thursday, Feb. 1, 2007

sm coffee
bagel with cream cheese
4-5 cups of coffee
3 pints of lager
order of chicken wings (25)/mozzarella cheese sticks (10ish) split
lg coffee
2 pints of lager
2 cups of coffee

proposed thin volume - (self published diet book):

many blank pages with text --

Eat Less ... Exercise More

Volume Two (real life) -

cut down the amount of cigarettes you smoke...

hang out more in bars*

note: you will tend to drink more though cause you're hanging out in a bar (not talking about those with a well stocked bar/fridge in the home).

*Philadelphia no longer allows smoking in restaurants/bars

conspiracy theory (gov./rest. assoc./diet industry) -

since you can't smoke while drinking/eating, customers tend to eat more but still drink the same because there is no food/stomach settlement time.
