Just throwing in a couple of cool links and then I\u2019m off the rest of the holiday weekend. Have a good one!<\/p>\n
Oh jeez, I missed No Pants Day again! I\u2019m sure my fiancee would be all for that kind of day\u2026er\u2013scratch that. He\u2019d like a No Pants Year<\/b>, starring me. I\u2019m not so sure I\u2019d be all that comfortable. Of course you can wear No Pants Day boxers if you\u2019re really modest, like me.<\/p>\n
Digital Sushi is marvelous! If you like sushi, that is\u2026you should at least TRY IT. Start with something simple, like California roll, if you\u2019re squeamish about sashimi (raw fish). California roll is made out of pieces of cucumber, carrot, or avacado and tuna, crab or imitation crabmeat and sometimes cream cheese. Then it\u2019s all wrapped up in white rice and nori (seaweed wrap). I like to take a bit of wasabi and mix it with shoyu (soy sauce) and dip the roll into it. It\u2019s way too yummy to describe. You can get variations of California roll at many Chinese or Japanese buffet-style restaurants. In West St. Paul, Grand Buffet has some, but I prefer the stuff made and bought at the Byerly\u2019s deli. Anyway, Digital Sushi has a complete \u2018dictionary\u2019 (with pictures!) that lists all types of sushi and sushi ingredients, to get familiar with. Even if you don\u2019t like any of the food, there\u2019s lots of other cool stuff like photos of trips to Japan, cool desktop stuff like icons, cursors and wallpaper. So go!<\/p>\n
Riding In Cars\u2026With Boys<\/b>
\nOkay, so we have one car. He is the driver. So I spend alot of time in the passenger seat of the car. Sometimes more time is spent in the damn car, waiting for him to get smokes, gas, etc. All the while, I sit and wait. I\u2019ve noticed that gas stations do not really play any decent music. It\u2019s usually Backstreet Boys crap or old, rejected soft rock. Anyway, the other day I all but threw my hands up in rejoice and spewed forth shouts of \u2018hallelujah!\u2019 because as I\u2019m sitting in the car waiting yet again, they played Steely Dan! No way, were we at a gas station? I had to look around to make sure. Yep, we are. I had to pinch myself to be sure I wasn\u2019t dreaming. Nope. I thought that was pretty damn cool. I thought it outloud when he came back to the car. He supressed a chuckle. A \u2018OMYGOD, you\u2019re weird\u2019 chuckle.<\/p>\n
Okay, so you think I\u2019m a dork, and you\u2019re sure that Steely Dan is still crappy stuff to play at a gas station, or anywhere, for that matter. But to me it was fantastic.<\/p>\n
Since we\u2019re on the subject of music\u2026<\/b>
\nThis is a cool website that lists songs that have been played on TV commercials. If you\u2019re into that sort of thing. I just happened upon it while cruising Google (I\u2019m always cruising Google!). I was looking for an answer to the latest debacle over at my guestbook, about a Ralph Lauren fragrance ad. Yes, folks, the highlight of my day so far is arguing with people at my own guestbook about tv commercials. How pathetic is that?<\/p>\nSame day, different year..<\/h3>\n
