Holiday Dining Shame

The drive home was bad tonight. Not as bad as my friend Anti-Kristin had it but bad nonetheless. While I kept the road rage in check what spiralled out of control was my appetite. I got home and needed dinner now.

My cupboards slash fridge are not bare but they don't include enough independent ingredients to pull together a meal: egg noodles and cranberry sauce, cous cous and peanut butter, deli roast beef and yogurt... I think not.

Instead, I ate a dinner of Holiday rarities standing at the kitchen counter:

• Six pieces of headcheese with Saltines
• Two spritz (one tree, one wreath)
• One cut-out (Santa with red sugar)
• My last Harvest Moon ale

Truly a busy gal's dinner and the saddest part of all is that I love to cook and have mad skillz to boot. As soon as the roads clear I need a trip to the grocery store but until then I know I have enough for sustenance.

Thank God for the headcheese, just like in the old country.

Could this be...

...the most amazing celebrity comeback ever?

I just got home and saw the world premiere of Britney Spears' new video Circus and that tune along with Womanizer have me completely vexed.

Never a fan of Britney the teen years (version 1.0), disinterested during her rise to super stardom (v1.5), marveled at the grocery store headlines during the KFed and the crazy (v2.0), continued marvelling at the continued crazy and her downward spiral (v3.0) I am now shocked at the appeal of her tunes as she rises from the ashes--version 4.oh?

While not ready to commit the .99 cents yet, I may actually need a track for my ipod. I think they might fit right into my Girl Power Dance Party mix for when I boogie vacuum.

Peyton and I discussed it...

Not since the Samuel L. Jackson/Snakes on a Plane voice mails have I seen a personalized marketing message that made me laugh this hard.

Send some advice from you and Peyton to someone you love--or even someone you don't like.

The process puke in me especially loves Peyton's blocking in the video so that the variable words can run against one single video thread. Priceless indeed.

Fast fingers make for great typos.

We have an instant messaging system at work to aid in collaboration across departments and locations. As a championship multi-tasker this is a tool I love; I can have four little blinking screens going at once resolving four different questions or hunting down data.

But with increased WIP and speed, quality suffers but not without a chuckle. Here are the top three typos of the week including intended word and a definition for the new derivative.

• Antidepresents (intended word: antidepressants)
  noun: these are gifts that actually make the recipient sad/depressed.
• Retarted (intended word: retarded)
  adjective: mildly deficient dessert in the tart family.
• Brasiest (intended word: busiest)
  adjective: the fastest bra around

That last typo was the most indicative of the week.
