Last night, Ani, Mike and I went to see Pete in the Hospital. For someone with the cancer, he looks pretty chubby.

Chino Latino is a wonderful style of cooking.

I wish I could sort my phone book by more categories than it already has, I'd like to have all the local eateries at a moments notice.

I can't wait until the weekend. No big plans, but not going to work for two days will be sweet. I guess my only big plan is having a Guinness on Saturday, perhaps with Kelvin the original "Black Irishman". It's really early so I'm a little goofy, but I think Kelvin should dye his hair blond. And he'd look like a pint of Guinness. Think about it.

Only three more weeks until opening day.

Real men of genius!

Hero
Forget Rosa Parks, or Joan of Ark or Abraham Lincoln. This young man is a true hero, a giant among men!

How many states can you name in 10 minutes. Remember spelling counts ... Fucking Conneticut! I was able to name 48, I forgot Kentucky and Nebraska (ok that is three for you) I was at 48 for the last 3 minutes of the game.

We are finally up to date on Battlestar Galactica, its going to suck to have to wait a whole week before the next episode. But alas.

We made some kick-ass wings on Saturday for lunch. They came out perfect. And what goes better with wings than beer. Red Stripe HOOORAY BEER!

Ani and I went out to dinner with my Mom on Saturday to the Spanish restaurant on Myrtle avenue. For a place that had been such a dump, they really fixed it up nicely. What is neat the owner must have some baseball connection, because there are tons of pictures of him with major leaguers. Highlights include, Carlos Delgado, Carlos Beltran, Jose Reyes and Luis Alicia (the Spanish language voice of the New York Mets). There are also some pictures with Yankees, including a very frightened looking Brian Cashman.

I still have a post "in the can". If the snow picks up and we can't get to work tomorrow, I'll post it early. If not after work.

The new Apple iPhone is awesome. I so don't need one, but i so want one!

I bought some wool socks for camping (at the urging form the book "A Scouts Honor"). I also packed my pack for a trip in two weeks. What the fuck? I'm trying to lessen my carrying load. I only need to put in my eating things and I'm done.

quick update

I am writing a full entry right now. But I just saw two things that I need to mention.

The first is a controversy about a movie that is premearing at the Sundance film festival where a 12-year old girl is raped in the movie. Dakota Fanning stars as the girl. This gets the Distorted View's seal of approval. DING! Read more here .

The other story is just baffling. Some dude (a pet store owner) brewed a beer for dogs. Sadly he made this beer to loosen the inhibitions of the dogs in his care. You sick bastard. I didn't read this article just the headline. Read the truth about the dog fucker
