Sunday evening
While brushing my teeth I got distracted as I was thinking of a song title. And my new toothbrush fell into the toilet (apparently there is a reason to keep the seat down).
Fortunately, it was two for $5 at the store and I bought two.
I am such a catch.
Fun with veggies
A few weeks ago I signed up at Bostonorganics.com which to my total surprise was an organic foods company in Boston, MA. Totally not what I thought it would be but then I got a box of organic fruits and vegetables and it all started to make some sense.
As it is the winter I have been getting a lot of root vegetables like:
1. Turnips (always)
1a. Carrots
2. Beets
3. Potatos
4. Sweet Potatos

On a serious note
The USDA is about to approve Monsanto’s genetically engineered alfalfa. One of the biggest impacts of allowing the use of GE alfalfa is contamination of other crops, including organic alfalfa, which is used by most organic dairies. The USDA actually acknowledges the problem of contamination, but is moving forward anyway. Source:...

To the Raiders organization
Dear Al Davis:
On behalf of the rest of the league’s fans I would like to thank you for your continued and dedicated incompetent leadership. Between drafting third rounders in the first round, drafting/sticking with JaMarcus who had no business as a franchise player, to firing coaches every six seconds (including the first one who got you to .500) we all owe you a debt of gratitude.

Ponderances
Last night I watch This Film Is Not Yet Rated. Overall, I thought the movie was fine minus the parts focusing in on the Private Detective’s life because the blurred the lines (in my mind) between making her appear to be a simpleton and using her an instrument to discuss many of the social issues that were discuss in the film. And the film sort of beat the viewer over the head with the same...

T: The Pack and the NFL cheated the Giants bad
M: How did the nfl?
T: The Giants didn't make it so they were cheated. You know they deserved the playoff spot more than GB
M: They deserve it more than the SEA/STL winner but they had to beat PHL or GB and didn't
T: They deserve it more than GB despite GB beating them
The exciting return of the five day work week
I haven’t worked five consecutive days since November began. Between various holidays, friends in town, going away and what have you I have not been in my office five days in a row in two months. Which was awesome.
Now I am going back to the five day work week with no vacation or friend visits on the horizon and the only holiday being MLK day. Therefore, I will need to celebrate the shit...

I like that we both included fail.

a semi-pretend conversation between Brian and Ali
B: We touched guts
A: I hate when you say that about sex, we make love.
B: How about creating a double backed beast.
A: BRIAN! I hate how you trivialize what we share together.
T: This is making me uncomfortable. I am going to continue to be awesome
100% true side note, Ali made a lovely mexican style breakfast of poblano peppers with scrambled eggs and turkey sausage (not Brian's), the dish was paired with polenta (sweet) and a homemade salsa. She throws down in the kitchen.
