Food for thought

This post is all about food. Well, it's not going to be a huge post that will answer all your edible item questions, but just a quick thought about a couple things I've eaten lately. First is a pic of my morning coffee. That's me pouring in the joe, on top of the creamer and sugar. A lot of times I pour the coffee in slowly, because it makes a cool effect. The powdered creamer is very absorbent or dissolves very quickly, depending on how you look at it. Either way, I can pour just a little bit of coffee and then watch as the liquid creeps across the powder mound, making little riverlets, twists, forks and turns as it goes, looking like a different roadmap everyday, giving directions from one side of the mug to the other. I suppose I think about stuff too much. But speaking of coffee creamer, I always used to use the liquid flavored creamer in my coffee. Then, when I went on a business trip in which I was working a lot of late hours and drinking coffee. At that office, they only had powder creamer. I was very pleasantly surprised that I actually liked it more than all those "foo foo" flavored creamers I had been using. I guess "coffee" is actually a "flavor" and I actually like it, not needing to add "caramel hazelnut sunrise mist" to it to make it good. Go figure.

Here's a picture of the new McDonald's Angus third pounder burger. Apparently, MceeDee's testing the burger in Southern California before a nationwide release. So, being the helpful person I am, I went and tried it (to the tune of three times now). It's pretty good, probably my favorite burger at McDonald's now, beating out the Quarterpounder. I really like the Carl's JR Six Dollar Burger though, the flame broiling makes the difference.

Bunny Lacerated

Yes, I'm finally back and this post is regarding a bunny lacerated, or hare cut, or more commonly known as a haircut. I did it. I haven't had a "real" haircut since before Halloween way back in 2005, so in almost a year and a half! What, you may ask, pushed me over the edge and made me do it? Well, two things. Cost...which this haircut had none, it was free. And second, it was part of a promotion by my favorite radio station and show The Kevin & Bean Show(K&B) on KROQ. K&B have a reoccurring personality named Sam "The Armenian Comedian" that they always make fun of and generally put-down (which he deserves, since his comedy is neither funny or makes any sense), but he seems to be oblivious and come back for more. Well, Sam happens to be a hair stylist as his day job, and he got the idea of setting the Guinness World Record for most haircuts in a 24hr period. K&B set up all the details for him, having a hair salon on the campus of CSULB as the locale and asking listeners to come out and get a free haircut and t-shirt being a part of this record setting attempt. So, on my way into work at 6am, I stopped off and was the first in line to be a victim. I actually was interviewed on the air and will try to make another post including the audio of it. Here are a couple pics of the momentous occasion....
