You Were the First One (Oh, Oh) You Were the Last one, Video Killed the Radio Butt

10 Random Observations:

1) The OC continues to rock. The dude who they brought in to edit Newport Living was wasted in his open air living room wearing a Husker Du t-shirt and listening to the Pixies "Debaser." Ryan however, has been a little weak in relation to his bro. Come on, Chino, the Cohens gave you a chance.

2) Katie and I have been cooking like hella well recently. Mad props to Katie's experimentation with non-traditional Katie food. We ended last week with a sundried tomato and lemon bowtie pasta and last night enjoyed a spinach and goat cheese stuffed chicken and pan glaze with mashed butternut squash and zuchinni spoonbread. All around very yummy.

3) Hippo has been really playful, but I think she is mad at me, since I went all APK on the bit and stepped on her toy. I am going to buy her a new one along with a scratching post, since we decided not to get her declawed. The observation here being, our cat is the cutest. End of story.

4) We had thai food in Rochester this past weekend and I don't think I had a chance for curry since I've been in St. Paul. Thai food in Buffalo sucks and is practically non-existent. The place in Rochester is right by the house that we conceivably pay rent for. Much better deal.

5) The internet is developing into the "other cable tv" that I have always believed it should be. Gordie has the mlb.tv package and while I would never pay 100 bucks to watch baseball, the picture quality and speed is incredible. Why NFL? Why? Katie also watches internet talk shows specific to her fave reality shows, including House Rules for Big Brother and Survivor Live. Loves it.

6) Spring is awesome. Its beautiful here and has been pretty much solidly for a week. Sunshine in Bufalo is like prison moonshine: you don't get it all that often, but enough of it makes you forget the general assiness around you.

7) Playing catch (hehehehehe): when I was young I threw the baseball around for hours all summer, pretty much everyday. I haven't played catch in prolly 8 years, but I think a baseball glove would be a sweet investment. See the weather section above.

8) Toblerone appears to have the market for 3-d traingle shaped chocolate bars cornered. If I worked at M+M/Mars I would get on top of it before things were completely out of hand. What if our mouths evolve into a traingle shape? Snickers won't satisfy so much at that point will it now.

9) The NFL draft is so cool. It signals that the offseason is half over. I'm not extremely excited about the Pack prospects, but its fun overall. I think there are 4 stand out players and then alot of quality talent that could be either a bust or a ridiculous steal between the 5th pick and the 50th. Not to mention that there is a kicker who good legitimately be a first rounder. Maybe he's no Janikowski, but quality nonetheless.

10) Popular Mechanics is the most oxymoronic periodical title around. In second is the Wall Street Journal.

Peace,
