Randomness

  • So do you think its cold in our house? Normally the cats huddle under the light for warmth (you wouldn't think it, but those lamps give off a decent amount of heat), but it was too cold tonight, so they decided to sit on each other... The fourth and thankfully final cat is smarter than these three and she sits as close to the heater as she can..
  • Anyone else been watching the Celtics lately? For the most part, the defense has been there, but they're not rebounding well enough (frequently its only Garnett going for the ball, with the other 4 guys hanging around the 3-point line) and they're settling for too many jumpers..
  • Have you seen those new "productivity enhancer" commercials from Southwest Airlines? Great stuff. Whom ever thought up that ad is a genius.
  • CNN.com had this story today. Its about a couple of towns in Texas where people have been seeing weird objects in the sky lately. I love how one of the military guys says, no its not a UFO, its just that they saw two airplanes at the same time and got confused. Um, what? That's almost as funny as the "swamp gas" excuse used back in the '60's (people weren't seeing lights in the sky, it was the gas from a nearby swamp in the air, which the light was then reflecting off of creating the illusion of floating objects, etc.)
  • Busted out the new deep fryer last night. WOW. I make a pretty decent fried chicken, usually just by frying it on top of the stove, but last night, we made perfection. This chicken came out absolutely perfect. So thanks Jessie, thank you very much for the perfect xmas gift :)
  • If you haven't seen this video, I highly recommend it. This Australian kid throws a huge party (parents out of town, lots of damage to the neighborhood, 500 people show up, cops show up) and for some reason they interview him live on the news. The interview is really priceless. And you can tell that the woman interviewing him detests him...
  • I'm pretty sure this guy, loves Tom Brady a little too much.. pretty funny stuff though.
  • So the wife and I had to run up to school so she could buy her books. On the way home, we decided to stop for dinner at Margarita's (Mexican place, its a chain restaurant and I think there's one in Watertown for you MA peeps). Drinks, great; apps, looked tasty but didn't have one; chips and salsa, warm and spicy; dinner, completely tasteless. How does one make Mexican food tasteless. You have to go out of your way to do that. We agreed that we might go back, but only for the drinks, chips and trivia night.

Mexican food is actually hard to make. I've had trouble with it and I'm a decent cook. I've screwed up salsa (roasted the wrong kind of pepper and the taste was weird) and rice (probably didn't season it properly). My guess is that they forgot to season the food or didn't have enough of the correct fresh ingredients (cilantro, peppers). You do live pretty far away from Mexico and it is the middle of winter.
