Taking a Break

April 30, 2008

After a couple of hard weeks of studying & work, I went to Vega$ with some friends this weekend to blow off steam…it’s amazing how much it’s changed since I was last there 8 years ago. The food is a lot better, for one thing; I definitely got to fulfill my foodie jones at a [...]

Current Obsessions

April 11, 2006

Nothing much to say except that I’m currently downing about 2 pints of freeze-dried strawberries every day (curse you, Trader Joe’s!) and knee deep in this alternate-reality card game. Oh, and loving Ask A Ninja—check out #17, the Ninja Omnibus, as a good start if you haven’t seen it before.

July 31, 2002

Reason #5,238 why I usually only watch FoodTV (besides the fact that I’m a food porn addict): On TV Tonight from The Onion. Of course, if they included the Food Network on this list, it would have to have shows like:

Emeril Live!: Buy My Seasoning Blends
Eat More Meat with Bobby Flay

Goin’ down to South Park…

June 7, 2002

Actually, I’m already there. As a total sucker for online avatar creators, I had to try out the South Park Studio. What you see is the result of my toonification. The odd thing is that out of all the others I’ve played with (like that StorTroopers thing everyone was passing around forever ago), this is [...]
