Google * infity + 1If you thought Google was the best thing invented since the written word, there is now one more reason for you to bow at its greatness. It’s the Google Calculator. You can go to Google and type something as simple as: But what else can we type? I was bored so I started trying different things. 1 gallon in oz And I’ll leave more experiments up to you, but just about every weird thing I tried worked. Take a look at the instructions I linked to above for even crazier examples.
Pesto, is that new?I went to the store to buy pesto sauce. It took me a little while, it was well hidden, but I found it. As I’m checking out, the girl at the register picks up the jar, looks at it, pauses, looks at me and asks: Overall it came out pretty good. Pesto has a strong taste, and so did the garlic shrimp. But I enjoyed the dinner. Who wants to do the dishes now? Chef David - The returnSince I continue bored and I don’t have anything planned, I thought I’d continue with my cooking experiments. I remembered that I have some garlic shrimp in the freezer. And since I still have some pasta left, why don’t I cook it with the shrimp and add some pesto sauce?
Chef David’s resultMy garlic chicken pasta made-up recipe came out fairly decent. The chicken tasted really good. The red peppers I cooked together with the chicken added extra flavor. I just wish I would have used a little more chicken as well as given the pasta some more flavor. How? I’m not sure. But if I’m bored again tomorrow, maybe I’ll give it another shot. Chef DavidI do odd things when I’m bored. Maybe not odd things, but my brain becomes hyperactive, and suddenly I get creative. The last time I was this bored with a lot of free time in my hands I ended up making art. Today I was about to fall sleep while watching George Clooney’s Solaris and I thought I’d get creative for dinner. Now, I’m not sure if what I’m going to make is going to be any good. After all, most of my cooking experiments fail. And they do not just fail, they fail miserably. They fail like Crystal Pepsi failed. For tonight I thought I’d make some pasta, with a light butter sauce and some red peppers. On top I will add some chicken breast that I am marinating in olive oil, parsley, garlic and cayenne pepper. Will it taste any good? I don’t know. To me, in my bored little mind, it sounds like it could potentially be good. There’s always Taco Bell if it all fails. I’ll report back later tonight.
Faaabulous showGet over your hang ups, and make sure you watch Queer Eye for the Straight Guy tonight. This show is normally on Bravo, but NBC is showing one episode tonight. It’ll be on at 9 pm central and trust me, it’s hilarious. I’ve already seen the episode that will be on tonight and it’s good. It’s not as good as others they’ve made though. Normally it’s fun when the straight guy is a slob and has back hair. But I’ll take what I can. I hope NBC is smart and keeps showing this show since a lot of people do not get Bravo at home.
IT Blonde MomentOur IT department just sent an email to everyone on campus, and it contains these words of wisdom: “If you cannot connect to the network today”. Hm. Okay.
TSA at the airportI flew out to San Diego last week out of the Wichita, Kansas airport. And like everyone else, I had to go through security. But the more I think about that security check, the more it upsets me. I forgot my car keys in my pocket, therefore I set off the metal detector and as expected, I was moved to the side to be wanded. Unfortunately the person with the wand kept mumbling his instructions so every time he spoke I had to say “excuse me?” and he seemed upset and edgy every time he had to repeat himself. And what’s even more fun, when he wanded my crotch area, he actually touched my crotch with the wand which was uncalled for and it made me feel rather uncomfortable. I will assume that this was simply an accident. I should have bent over and asked him if he wanted to try sticking it up my ass since he seemed so interested on my crotch. Obviously this is not serious enough for a formal complain, but it just bugs me.
I’m backI’m back from San Diego. I almost got delayed an extra day though. At the airport in San Diego they were asking for volunteers to give up their seats in exchange for a free ticket. I volunteered but unfortunately at the end, they didn’t need the volunteers, oh well. So I’m back, going through my work email and longing the days of last week. When can I go back?
The returnI’m scheduled to fly back to Kansas from San Diego tomorrow Sunday. Do I have to? I love it here in Southern California, and I cannot wait to move down here, as planned, sometime between December and February (if everything goes according to plan….)
