Silence

I guess I should post some content soon. Damn I'm lazy.

New Content

Coming soon. I promise. I'm working on a post about food and restaurants. Basically the top 10 places I've eaten. It's not easy, so many excellent meals and so many excellent places. The list will vary from an amazing meal with drinks in Louisiana for under $25 to a $550 dinner in Las Vegas. I hope to have it done this week.

Dead Space

2 more days. I can't wait.

LHC down for 2 months.

Sigh. By now you've heard that the Large Hadron Collider suffered a fairly major electrical problem and will be shut down for 2 months while they make repairs. There was a faulty electrical connection between two of the magnets and they stopped superconducting. I guess they were regularconducting instead. Anyway, they melted and that lead to mechanical failure. Helium everywhere. Bad things my friends.

Or maybe that's what they want you to think....... maybe this story is a cover-up, and that the LHC was shut off because it created a black hole that ate part of the electronics; or their maintenance guy; or something. Anyone know where the G Man is these days?

The Candidates

I wish you'd stop sniping at each other and STFU for 10 minutes. All politicians are liars in the end. I can deal with that at this point in my life. Sucks, but I'll deal. Stop with the attacks and negative ads. Stop with the slander and libel and instead tell me what you want to accomplish as president. Then tell me HOW you plan to go about doing it? I don't care if someone's daughter is knocked up, that's not the point. Don't tell me you're going to change government and immediately drop the subject when pressed on the HOWs Tell me how you plan to implement these sweeping changes. Spend your energy telling me what and how you plan to run the country as president and STFU about the other candidate's shortcomings.

See, this is exactly why I always vote third party. I can't necessarily trust them any more than I can the other two, but at least some of them are telling me HOW and WHY. That's got to count for something right?

No Reservations

Ah, thank you Travel Channel for the NO RESERVATIONS marathon on labor Day. Somehow I'd missed ALL of this season. Yes, I'll hang my head in shame now. Watching the ever snarky Anthony Bourdain travel around the world and eat some of the best looking food I've ever seen was the perfect time waster. No, that's not right at all. It wasn't a waste of time, it was informative, awe inspiring, educational and even hilarious. Made me hungry every step of the way. Also strengthened my resolve to visit and experience Spain in the very near future. Time to start saving. Costa Brava here I come.

Also I'd like to add that I really really heart Anthony Bourdain. He's my culinary hero. I just gotta heart someone who seethes with hatred for Rachael Ray as much as I do. He may hate her more. Wow.

I need to post something

But I'm too busy to do it today. Gotta take the pup out to play :D






Good news though, all family and friends in the path of Hurricane Gustav are away and safe. Whew!
