All Things Chill

*Ahem* Hypothetical, y’all:
So, if you’re a (drunk) guy and you’re trying to hit on a girl with a boyfriend… what kind of shot would you buy for her? Let’s assume said boyfriend is really handsome and smart trusts his girlfriend 100% and really wants to see if a line like “well, is it serious?” [...]

Since it was a beautiful day in Seattle (1st one since September 2007 lol), Liana and I hit up the farmers’ market in Ballard on Sunday to pick up a few things and soak up the sun. We picked up a canvas bag full of produce and before we left we checked out the [...]

I like surfing the Internet. No, I HEART surfing the Internet. But with all the time spent between work, talking about getting a dog chillin’ with Liana, I don’t really have the willpower to dig deep into the trenches of the ‘net to procure delicious nuggets of information for everyone to enjoy. [...]

Coco Puffs & Cap’n Crunch Peanut Butter Crunch. YAY. I’ve decided to abstain from cooking breakfast on weekends that I have off because it takes up so much damn time to make something good without making us OMGTUMMYSOFULLANDHEAVY. So, when I have weekends off, cereal is now a morning standard. I [...]

I found a post on Seattle’s Metblog about Molly Moon’s Ice Cream, a new ice cream joint a leisurely stroll from our place in Seattle.
Normally, when I experience something (brace yourself for the pun) savory or unsavory, I post about it in my blog… but since this post presented itself at the right place and [...]

We’re going on a trip in a few months to do some things that require… not being out of shape and eating GREASE. LOL. So, in the effort to not gain any more weight, we have cut out a few things in our diets:
Soda, Coke, Pop – whatever you call it
Fries, chips and [...]

I made lamb shanks on my day off for Liana, myself and my buddy Don today! EEEEEE. Just so we’re on the same geographical page (skip to the next paragraph if you *luvy wuvy* your petting zoo animals), the shank of an animal is the area below the knee and above the foot. [...]

Youtube link here. It’s late, but I thought I’d share some crazy footage of a new video game that’ll be released for the Xbox360 and the PS3. Apparently (and you can’t get more apparent that a video at the top of your post hee hee), Mirror’s Edge, a game by EA’s DICE division, [...]

The Seattle International Film Festival, lovingly shortened to The SIFF, kicks off on May 22nd and runs through June 15. I read a great overview of the festival on Seattle.Metblogs, which is really giving me some sort of a pulse on this city.
One of the movies that I *did* want to check out is [...]

Per Liana’s instructions, I made some Sangria for a get together at Deb’s house yesterday. Good times, good times! Quick recipe below:
Two bottles dry red wine (nothing too tannic, merlot works well – I used a cabernet sauvignon, will write winery later)
2 D’anjou pears
2 Fuji apples
1 16oz. can of lychees (with 3/4 of [...]

me: Hey, i’m gonna make soup tonite!
with crusty bread
Liana: i see..
mmmm….mmm
what kind of soup?
me: can you get bread on the way home?
Liana: haha yes
me: linguica & kale soup
it’ll be good
promise
Liana: no it doesn’t sound good
LOL. Back to the drawing board!

I’ve been a big Death Cab for Cutie fan since Ben Giddard’s foray into electronica with The Postal Service. Their last album, Plans, was actually playing on my iPod nano this morning on the way to work (while I hacked and slashed baddies on my Ninja Gaiden DS demo – more on that later). [...]

Just upgraded to the latest Wordpress stable build (upgraded the Democracy poll plugin too). It wasn’t as bad as I thought! Hee hee. Also, to kick of Spring (late, but it’s still kinda cold in Seattle)…

SPRING CLEANING! If you *HAD* to, which household chore would you choose to do?
