Monday Night Dinner


Mondays are my day for cleaning the house (well just the second story), cooking, studying for meeting, and then actually going to meeting.

Tonight I ventured out a little with my domestic duties and made a mean Vegetable Paella!

It was super easy and fast (and delicious...if i do say so myself)

Thats all. I was rather pleased with my culinary accomplishment, and I thought I'd share :)


What's you favorite meal? (to make or eat)

Re: Why not take a Mini Road Trip

I was talking to a patient today about our winter excursions.
Poor thing...I wholeheartedly recommended Costa Rica for his wife and his annual retreat. Lets just say, it wasn't all they dreamed of. I don't take back my recommendation at all, although maybe next time i'll be more selective in whom i tell. Maybe it's just for someone who is more in the mood for adventure, or someone who can deal with "bars on the windows" (oooo soo scary!). But I'm not here to tell you their story, or talk you out of (or into) visiting Costa Rica, rather I introduce him because I was talking to him about my next trip, well at least, 'an upcoming trip', and it led to all this...

My next road trip would include driving west through New Orleans and Arizona (i mention these two b/c I'd like to stop and enjoy the culture of these two places, but I know that more states would obviously be included). Then North to the Grand Canyon to do some white water rafting and hiking....and who knows MAYBE I'll end up in Vegas for a couple days. ;)

Anyways, he was talking to me about visiting California and the Redwoods. It's always been appealing to me but never at the top of my bucket list. But look at this...it looks amazing, and I know that pictures never do beautiful scenery justice.

Then he mentioned visiting Western Canada for the landscape and even a "Heli Glacier Walk"! Yes. You go in a helicopter, they land on a glacier, and you take a hike...ON A GLACIER!

So, I'm tempted to do some more research on what places, people, and parks are accessible by car (or helicopter)

Where do you want to go? What do you want to see? What do you want to do?

continuing nonsense

So not that it matters but it's been bugging me for the past couple days so I want to revise my "best of 2009" post




I have to say Ratatat was truthfully a better show than Girl Talk.
I was misled by the stories that came from the latter. Just because you have more to
talk about (or in this case more to keep to myself) didn't make it better, just more memorable.

So Ratatat takes the cake for 09 in 2010.






Then I've been trying to think of my top movie for 09'. After reviewing the year I came to two conclusions:
1) 09' was not a year for cinematic breakthroughs.
2) There are still a few movies I missed (up in the air, broken embraces, int the loop, and precious) so who knows perhaps this will be revised as well.

But it came down to two movies for me this year:

500 days of summer
and
Fantastic Mr. Fox

500 days was easy to watch(Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel), it had a really good soundtrack, and isn't a typical romantic comedy...so I could stomach it. plus it led to great conversation :)

Being Wes Andersons first animated film, Fantastic Mr. Fox was amazing. I was afraid the stop-motion feel would give me the creeps, by quite the opposite. I found the movie refreshing and it put me in a good mood.

So our winner is....

It's The Hard Knock Life For ME.

well, 2010 started with a bang...literally.

i wasn't home when 'the incident' occurred though, i don't believe anyone was.

i guess i should just tell you what's going on...


my house got shot up.


seriously.


ok ok. no, not seriously, but one of our sliding glass doors is all cracked because it got shot...by something. haha.

it obviously was a bullet but we can't find anything around.
maybe it was a sniper with high tech bullets that disintegrate once they impact, to avoid detection or tracing. yeah, i'm sure that's it. that sliding glass door has been getting out of line recently and i warned it that there would be reprucusions for its actions. it's just sad to see it end this way.


this is quite amusing, and i'm totally gonna play this out till it gets old.

i live in the ghetto.
