I will have you know that I followed up my 9/10ths of a bottle of wine with a shot of Jager AND I WAS FINE. Of course, I was completely exhausted and ready for bed by 9pm, but OH WELL!  How many times can you get trashed and then wake up by 7 the next morning, fully rested and not hungover?  It’s my new routine.   Unfortunately, my new routine will not come in any sort of handiness this Friday night, when my friends from work and I are going to watch another friend from work perform in the Rocky Horror Picture Show.  I have never been to a viewing, and I will admit…kind of nervous.  Also, it starts at MIDNIGHT.  Agh!  That is NONSENSE!

Anyway, I was up until 1130pm last night finishing last minute homework because I suck.  I just wanted to say hi.

Tschuss!!

Chuck and Sarah are the new Jim and Pam and I’m sorry, but I’m not explaining that.  Suffice it to say that this weeks episode was the fucking bomb.

However, what I will tell you is that I love Zachary Levi with the entire being of my…being.  SO HOT.  Taylor asked me why I thought he was so cute and!  Since I had already thought about this and made the connections in my head, I knew EXACTLY why I think ZL is so doable…think about it.  If you took John Krasinski and Zachary Quinto and blended them in a Vitamix blender, you would get–yes.  Zachary Levi.  I don’t care if you don’t see it!  I do and that’s all that matters.

I mean, I love The Office, for sure.  That goes without question.  But cute boys are definitely a draw, therefore Chuck and Heroes are my second favorites.  Actually, on a ranking scale, it’s #1-The Office, #1.1-Chuck, and #2-Heroes, but mostly because of Sylar.   

I got my new bite guard from the dentist today and although I really only need to wear it at night, I wore it for the rest of the day and it was seriously awesome.  It gives me the craziest lisp, and I LOVE IT.  Also cool at work today was…oh wait!  What am I saying, it’s work!  There is nothing cool.  Except that there is HUGIE SECRETS going on, with daily closed door meetings in the bosses’ office, and NOBODY IS SPILLING, no matter how much I bug.  It’s killing me.  Look.  I am not somebody who waits for information to come to me.  Snooping, people! Be the person WITH the information!  

However.  That being said, snooping is not getting me anywhere this time, and I hate it.  It’s about JOB CHANGES, you guys!  

Whoa.  Greg?  You are awesome.  Remember when you told me about Ctrl-Z?  I didn’t forget!  And it’s good that I didn’t, because I just deleted like, half my post.  Virtual drum off wins to you.  Also, one day I’m buying you a drink.  

Anyway, rumor is I am moving to a different job and while that is fairly awesome, I want the final word because if it’s true, I got some desk scoping to do.  What?!  I need the optimal desk space!

Did you know that if you have big red wine goblets, and eschew all wine pouring rules and just pour to the top, you can fit almost an entire bottle of wine in ONE GLASS?  It’s true!  I’m 2/3 of the way through right now!

Tschuss!!

I made homemade mac n’ cheese tonight.  Also, I made scampi, which isn’t normally something you have with mac n’ cheese, but I am telling you, that shit was super fab.  My Cooking Light cookbook is the bomb, seriously.  Why did I never like to follow recipes before?  You cannot go wrong if you follow directions, it’s a fact!  Experimenting in the kitchen is only okay if you have every ingredient and all the time in the world on your hands to make up for the inevitable mishaps that come with experimental cooking.  Like…you know how you always hear about ‘secret ingredients’?  Sugar in tomato-based recipes, or…unsweetened cocoa in chili.  Yeah, because secret ingredients are supposed to be the…oh, mayo in chocolate cake, or whatever–that’s another one, albiet disgusting.  I realize that mayo is eggs and oil and in theory those two things should work fine in cake, but in reality, it’s not like I would ever pair a slice of cake with a spread of mayo soooooooo…eww.

Anyhow.  Secret ingredients.

They’re supposed to bring out miraculous flavors or whatever, but.  I have tried sugar in my spaghetti sauce, and cocoa in my chili, and guess what?  Both of those dishes ended up tasting like a crap dessert.  

Now, I follow recipes to a T, with the exception of vanilla, of which I always at least triple, because VANILLA IS AWESOME, and everything always turns out yum.  Sometimes there’s a bomb, but only because the entire dish sucked to begin with.  One time, for example, I made African Sweet Potato Chicken Stew Pot Bake.  Not the real name, by the way.  I can only remember tomato paste, sweet potatoes, chicken, and peas, but there were definitely more ingredients–it turned out like super glue.  SWEET super glue.  Bleh.  Definitely not one for the keeper file.

Back to tonight, however.  I got a flu shot (a flu MIST, actually, the kind they shoot up your nose) today and now I’m tired.  Goodnight.

Tschuss!!
