old people veggies

I guess when you get to the golden years your appetite changes slightly. I have this friend....well no thats not right. Its actually Catherine's grandma's friend. This do-gooder is no stranger to a Catholic kneeler and she helps the world by offering choice canned-goods to needy people. When I first arrived in St. Louis, I'll admit, times were tough.. Her intentions were well and her groceries appreciated. For five months she has been my vegetable outfitter even though I have graciously declined the need for more food. My bursting cabinets are occupied by roughly seventy five pounds of mustard greens, sliced beets, new potatoes, yams, and hominey. Please forward recepies.

Oldies but goodies

When is it time to put away the old furniture? Over my college years I have collected bargin furniture to fill my apartments. These pieces really have alot of character, unfortunately thay have alot of stains (don't ask), aroma, rips, and tears. I love this furniture, it may survive as some basement furniture for a few years but as my cohabitation begins I will slowly lose the stinky things I love. So this is a farewell to you heavy puke green couch. I will miss your worn cushions, your paisely pattern. The way you slightly arc and "really tie the room together" Thanks for being forgiving of beer spills and welcoming all the asses you could handle at the loft parties in Springfield. It's been a good run, but I fear it ends soon.....Goodbye..."tear"

bumper stickers

Speaking infallible truths via tacky stickers; cheesy fonts, annoying rhymes, bumper stickers..."Abortion doesn't make you un-pregnant, it makes you the mother of a dead baby." This guy also did not like the idea of evolution and he wanted everyone behind him to know that. Introducing the new bumper sticker; Im not sure if this is just a soccer mom/ white trash thing but, what's with the ribbons? Ever since those two big buildings collapsed, Americans have felt the need to turn their vehicles into tackey billboards for either the religious, the political, or just to advertise the education they lack. These ribbons are getting as annoying as those flippin' yellow wristbands. Nothin against Lance but seriously.

Export to ipod

So I'm all geared up with apple's best stuff. I recieved a 40g ipod at Christmas from my loving mother. My wonderful, beautiful girlfriend Cate helped with my aquisition of the coveted 15in powerbook. Both machines are so lovely that when I use them a little bit of pee comes out with excitement. The only problem is, how the hell do I fill a 40 gig ipod, without flooding my powerbook with mp3s? Heres how. Doug has hooked us up with two delicious scripts. One (technically) rips CDs straight to your ipod without clogging up your hard disk. The other allows you to burn music from your ipod playlist. So if your like me and you don't want to pollute your laptop's precious space with you 40gig music library check this script out. thanks doug!

Stout Media. As the nitrogen cascades toward the brim of the glass it forms a bed of creamy satin head. Roasty and chocolate flavors flood your pallette with every sip. This is a Rich Strong and delicious brew. Stout Media coming soon

Mitch

Among the grim headlines of the past week I saw that funnyman Mitch Hedberg died yesterday of a heart attack. Those comedians have a short shelf-life, (be careful Andi) I caught Mitch's show on his first college campus tour a few years ago and at The Pageant just weeks ago, I'm glad I went to see that dude one more time. Mitch was hilarious and had a totally unique style. Here are a few of my favorite quotes from Mitch.
