So.... Five reasons that I'm using to talk myself into buying a very expensive espresso machine with the money from selling the Rabbit on ebay. 1. The REALLY good ones cost $1000 bucks or more. This one only costs half that. 2. It's like free money anyway. I WAS going to get it towed away by the city for nothing. 3. I LOVE good espresso, but I HATE bad espresso. 4. If I get a cheap machine that doesn't make the good stuff or is a pain to use, I'll stop using it. So if I'm going to buy a machine, it should be a good one. 5. Toy! |
I kinda wish I weren't so spoiled, but I developed my taste for espresso on the art of some obsessively perfectionist baristas. . Anything that uses steam to generate pressure tends to make the water too hot for espresso. . I probably shouldn't spend so much money on a coffee machine, but I've wanted a good espresso machine for so long... . I'm conflicted. |

. I've got two of them. Somewhere. I like them for a cup of good, strong coffee, but they leave something to be desired in terms of crema and flavor in espresso. Or maybe I'm not using it right. . I also make an unholy mess when I open it back up. |
Aw, Kazu, that first pot is cute. |

1-they are filthy. they leave hubcaps, empty oil cartons, their dogs' crap, fast food wrappers and all kinds of trash on the sidewalk and grass. its disgusting. 2-they rely on their horns for communication devices at fucked up hours even though you KNOW they all have cell phones. 3-they let their children (like under 6-7 years of age play (and scream and yell) in the street till well after 10pm. 4-they don't understand that parking is a premium so on sections of curb where you have room, take it, so someone behind you can get in instead of taking up potentially two spaces with one car 5-they patronize annoying illegal vendors in carts and trucks with who utilize a vartiety of attention-getters such as bells, loud nursery chimes and they park outside your windown for minutes on end, making your eyes twitch. |
1. Their son is so completely ignored that he's desperate for any contact with people, so he begins talking incessantly to any stranger who comes within earshot. 2. They apparently have him run in circles around their apartment a lot. Often late at night. 3. They don't know how to walk without stomping their feet either. 4. They don't appear to have time to give their first child any attention, so they fucking have another one. It cries a lot. 5. Their ugly purple car has left lots of little purple marks in my paint job. They must door it regularly. |
1) he (of the he and she)isnt very friendly or outgoing. Not that i want him bake me a fuckin pie but at least say the word "h-e-l-l-o" when I greet you instead of grunting. 2) they dont realize that since they have hardwoods with no carpet (maybe 1 throw rug but thats it) that if you walk in anythng with a heel it will be loud to the people below. 3)&4) their two boston terrier puppies who like to play and bark late at night and who have very jangly collars and need their toe nails cut (apparently) 5) the dude never leaves the house is apparently getting fatter and walks the apartment with his heels and when he is not walking the apartment w/ heavy-feet is apparently at a desk (computer?) in a chair that has wheels of which he frequently slides to and fro. im seriously considering kicking his ass just to be a dick an dmake myself feel better. I reached out once about the floor noise but apparently it was lost on them and mostly him. |
1. "I need heeeelp!" 2. "It's too haaaard" 3. "You do it for me" 4. "[Teacher] isn't here today...we have a sub instead" 5. "I need heeeeeeeelp!" |

ME LAUGH! He is pretty fucking silent. It's kind of creepy. This weekend inspired several five lists, but I'm too tired to toil over them at the mo. |
except this: my mother told me that my father called my sister - who lives 200 miles away from me - to ask her when a good time to come to fort worth (i guess to see me) would be. (i haven't heard from him). he says he's shooting for november. we've had a cordial non-relationship for 20 years - we don't talk on the phone, write, email...anything. the fact that he wants to see me now makes me a little suspicious. |
1. i have the week off due to quitting my old job and lying to my new job. 2. my doctor said he has no problem sending me to get my tubes tied (:D!!!!) 3. we got a new fridge, one that works and has proper shelves and everything. 4.

Five reasons im in a bad mood 1.the ex has mindlessly refused my counter proposals, pushing us one closer step towards an expensive contested and most of all DUMB divorce, or at least the reasons for contest would be dumb, not the divorce itself. ive made progress in a year+ time 2. Said ex continues to rewrite history, avoid dealing with pain, and being honest with herself and everyone else about her immoral decisions she made when she left last year which subsequently allows for totally baseless statements to slip in which i completely lose it. 3. im still broke 4. my spaghetti-0s i had for lunch didnt really cut it 5. i dont know what I intend to do for halloween costume wise or ianything else. would be just as content not to think about it, concentrate on the baby girl, and stay home, which i know wont sit well with the GF which is already making me ansy anticipating a conflict. |
v has roses in bloom,something is wrong. |
|
1. I have still not received a credit on my charge card for the books which arrived trashed from Amazon last week, which is interesting, considering that I have the slip from UPS indicating that they were picked up right in front of my face. More curious still is that there is nothing in my account on Amazon to indicate that the books were returned and a refund is being processed, and there is no contact information on their site so that I can talk to a REAL PERSON. 2. The isp with which I cancelled service last month apparently decided it would be a good idea to bill my credit card for this month anyway. I fucking hate automatic payments, especially when executed by companies with the iq level of a rock. 3. Artichokes take an hour to cook. 4. It's freezing out. 5. I twisted my ankle quite badly on Tuesday, but I can't afford to call in sick to work, thus meaning that I am going to compound the injury by being on my feet for eight hours a day on a concrete floor for the next four days. Poverty is super-lame. |

i like office supplies. i like notebooks and writing pads in a wide variety of sizes. i like fine felt tipped pens in black and red. thin chisel tipped highlighters. smoothly contoured staplers. paperclips in boxes (not those plastic containers with the magnetic ring.) pushpins. the pop-shush of a pushpin going through paper and into the nylon-fabric covered styrafoam of a cube wall. i like drinking bad coffee from paper cups. i like the triangular stain that somehow appears on your chair; the shadow in the v of your legs cast by a year of eating lunch at your desk. i like chairs on castors. i like heavy vinyl pads that make your chairs on castors roll easily around your cube. i like sweeping badges across pads to unlock doors. i like badges to be on strings that automatically retract to your belt. i like confrence rooms full of bad chairs. i like computer displays projected onto white screens. i like project plans. i like milestones to track with percent-complete. i like to manage dependancies. i like lists of risks (and ideas to mitigate those risks.) i'd like to shake henry gantt's hand. i like engineers who procrastinate and hourly contractors who sandbag. i like to walk by web surfers and desk sleepers. i like spelling errors on websites. i like technical inaccuracies in installation guides. i like blantant fiction in white papers. i like my C-levels to be sales people. i like my sales people to be ethic void drunks. i like my drunks to tap me before heading out for lunch. i like that corporations are citizens without the responsibilities of citizenship. i like that our government is one hundred percent private owned. i like that as the gap between the haves and have nots grows, the need to hide evil loses its urgency. i like tv. i like post-it notes and sharpies. i like to draw smilely faces on brightly-colored squares. i like to cover my walls in color and joy. |

1. "We feed them ice cubes, and after they melt on the floor, both dogs bark at the wetness that remains. They slap at the spots with their front paws as if to say, 'Get up! Be ice again!'" 2. "People were selling my books online, collecting them, waiting for me to relapse with multiple drugs and then die. I'd make page 6, 'Scissors Author Dead, Apparent Alcohol Overdose.'" 3. "On top of these feelings, I wanted to ask Dr. Fard, 'Could you just turn to the side? So I can admire your profile?' I imagined his face on a coin that I could keep in my pocket and thumb for good luck." 4. "'I'm telling you, having a vagina is like having a pet. Like a dog that's always chasing cars.'" 5. "I looked at the mess in my hand and there, among the half-chewed square of potato, the sprig of rosemary, the other fresh herbs, was the pearlescent cusp of my rear molar." |

Nonsuch, XTC Shady Grove, Garcia & Grisman Jazz for the Soul (ballads), Harry Allen On Yoolis Night, Anonymous 4 40 Days, The Wailin' Jennys Agatha, your quote #5 happened to me a couple of weeks ago -- I was eating Chinese food with a group of people, and bit into a barely cooked piece of broccoli, and felt something hard in my mouth -- something like a bone fragment (which wouldn't have been out of the question, as it was beef & broccoli.) I spit it out, and couldn't identify it, but then something felt weird with my teeth. I ran my tongue against them, and I had broken the inside portion of a back left molar. Still haven't had it fixed. Seems to be holding on by the filling. |

i like all those. except maybe runny eggs. i don't like runny whites, but i love warm liquid yolks. |
You really don't like bleu cheese, Spider? Maybe the ones you've tried have been too salty and/or too pungent. There are some really nice ones out there. Ever tried it in a salad with just spinach leaves, bleu cheese and walnuts, with lemon juice and oil dressing? That's pretty awesome. I like cumin too, in chili, and Indian and South American foods. My wife's black beans and rice just wouldn't be the same without cilantro. There's another similar herb she buys called culantro -- seems to be a fatter leaf, with similar taste as cilantro. |
|
Bleu cheese just tastes like mold. It tastes like food you're not supposed to eat anymore. Seriously, whose idea was it to eat moldy cheese? You wouldn't eat moldy beef or moldy fruit; moldy cheese should also be eschewed, as should that Spanish cheese that has the little worms in it. It's just wrong, yo. Cumin I can choke down, but cilantro makes me want to die. Maybe it's a matter of learned aversion, since each time I've eaten it I've gotten nauseated. I've heard some people say it tastes like soap to them, but to me it just tastes...right, diseased. It tastes like it will kill me. Five cheeses I like: 1. Idiazabal 2. Manchego 3. Zamorano 4. Oropresa 5. Taleggio |
bleu cheese mold is a strain of penicillin. your inability to choke down runny whites will probably limit your cocksucking career. |
I happen to be a big fan of cilantro but for those of you who aren't...might I suggest a community of your fellows? |
I was at a housewarming and Clay said i HAD to try this cheese he had found. It was the best he had ever tasted, he said. And this guy has a cheese hard-on to rival my own so i trusted him. It was ivory coloured with a thin layer of black in the middle, which was mold. cheese mold cheese I don't remember what it was called but please do tell if you know. He gave me a pretty good chunk of it which i put in my mouth and he went on and on about how they make the cheese and where the thin mold line comes from and how great it is. All the while as i was talking i slowly leaned over the garbage and spit it out casually, never losing eye contact, then went back to smiling and nodding at his story. Then i asked him for some mouthwash. It was so awful, so strong and so so awful. I had blue cheese, once. It made me shudder and gag. It tasted like punishment :( Oh right, i really started typing this to say- stop calling it 'bleu' cheese, that's silly. Bleu *means* blue. If you want to use french call it 'fromage bleu' or something. Runny egg whites are sad. They have the same texture as snot (SNOT NATE, NOT CUM). If eggs still have that snot layer on top, i'll do just about anything to get rid of it. |

1. Farted and gave herself a fright. Then licked her bum. 2. Stole my bra and left it on the driveway. 3. Came up to me with big smears of peanut butter all over her mooshface (it was a treat related incident) 4. Just about folded her little body in half with excitment and waggled her nubtail hard out when I came home from work. 5. Curled up on the bed with me and snored all night. I fucking love my dog. |
But I think cilentro kind of smells like soap. I can't stand any egg runniness. I was watching top chef last night and Gail Meow Meow was going on and on about overcooked rubbery eggs and I was thinking "mmm, nothing beats a fried egg over super hard with bits of rosemary and thyme and black pepper in it on some toast with some still-cold extra sharp cheddar cheese and some salsa fresca." Then I tuned back in and she was still bitching about overcooked eggs. Then they kicked Frank off, which perplexed me...except I guess Sam is technically hotter. Then I did a bunch of different stuff and now I'm thinking about eggs again because of Arachne of Cymru. Oh, happy belated birthday Agatha. Last night for my birthday I had chicken fried steak and broccoli and mashed potatoes. Mmmm. I don't think I've had a cookie in, like, over a year. |

Shoot, I'm late for class! More on cheese later! |
How's this? There is an Italian cheese named Sottocenere al Tartufo, which means "under ashes [with] truffles," and it is both infused with truffle oil and preserved in ashes which contain the remains of a variety of herbs and spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, fennel, cloves, and (dun dun DUN!) coriander. You'd think this cheese would be good, right, with ingredients like that, right, huh, huh? Oh, wrong. So wrong. It's not sharp; it's acrid, and it tastes like poison. I blame the coriander (AKA cilantro seeds). I'm telling you, cilantro and I are natural archenemies. As are I and this perfume I sprayed on myself as I walked through the mall today. It's heady and cloying, and I hope it is not assaulting the others in this computer lab as ruthlessly as it is assaulting me. |

wonder how much the ticket was for? |
I haven't murdered/or done any bodily harm to the dog raper who is my patient. Went to the Hinder/Staind concert with my 17 year old daughter and 2 of her friends, so I could use my connections to get them backstage to meet the bands get autographs/pics. Also got them to the front stage for Staind. [But J and I are pros at concerts,we've had alot of practice] I got to enjoy seeing my 18 year old son try to eat a plastic candy cane."Dad, this doesn't taste right." Dad replied, "Put that down boy! It's a decoration!" This was most entertaining. My clever son,[as above], put a new cd player in our Avalanche. This was an acceptable addition. But, apparently it wasn't enough for him, because he comes home tonight very proud, because he's now added a new speaker system to go with it.I hear my daughter laughing hysterically, and when she could finally speak, she says,"You've gotta see this!" I open the back door and there is this HUGE speaker thing taking up 3/4 of the back seat. Its 12 inches, but the box is HUGE, you could see it vibrating. I asked him where we would sit, and he said 2 people could squeeze in back there! I couldn't wait for my husband to see it. This is basically the family vehicle we use to haul horses and go on vacations. Thank God we have other vehicles. I still have my sense of humor. |

we always have a batch of beans and a batch of rice in the fridge. gallo pinto is just a matter of frying a little onion with some of the rice and some of the beans. throw some cilantro in at the end. it is hands down my favorite non-meat dish. to make the beans, dried black beans are covered in water and brought to a boil. chunks of yellow onion and whole cloves of garlic are added. and salt. the beans are covered and simmered for as long as it takes. the beans are always kept in their fluid. they are served with a slotted spoon, so on the plate you just have beans. But if you are making gallo pinto, the fluid is used to add flavor and color to the rice. to make the rice, dry rice is put in a frying pan and fried in a little oil until it starts to go golden. boiling water from the kettle is added and the rice is cooked uncovered until done. sometimes 'caldo de pollo,' chicken bullion, is added. sometimes onion is fried with the dry rice. one day we were in a mercado latino and i happened upon a bag of frozen pito. to that point i'd only ever known pito as slang for dick, so i was more than amused at finding a bag of it in the freezer section. as it turns out, pito is some sort of flower pod (that happens to look a bit like a penis, but more like an inch-long cocoon of some sort). frozen pito can be added to the beans at the start of cooking. they add a subtle flavor and a little textural interest. we only ever used them that once, though. the night after i couldn't pass up the chance to buy a bag of frozen cock. for my spotted cock. |

I haven't been eating properly, or drinking enough water, or exercising, or sleeping, or breathing deeply, or opening my third eye for the past 3 months, and I need to get my self together. My skin is weirdly papery-looking, my neck cracks at random when I turn my head, the RSI in my right wrist is manifesting itself as a lump on the inner wrist bone, and I can hardly communicate in coherent sentences anymore. I still have one more class this afternoon (big project due, my partner did the last half because I couldn't think anymore) and then one more class on Monday night, but that's a piece of cake, so I'm taking my well-earned Sigh of Relief tonight at 5:30. But, holy shit, y'all, I'll be in debt until the grave consumes me. Five songs I love: 1. Phil Collins - Easy Lover (I'm not kidding. This song is genius.) 2. Parliament - I Bet You 3. Devotchka - Venus in Furs (this cover makes the song into some wild, Gypsy-esque dervish) 4. Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings the Flood 5. Sam the Sham & the Pharoahs - Little Red Riding Hood |

That's almost romantic. Or retarded. |
