Not bad…

26oz of Johnny red in about 90 minutes. Not bad for a Saturday night.

Good times

More than our fair share of alcohol had been consumed at that point.

How to avoid crying when chopping onions

Lifehacker reader and foodie Ian Beyer offers a helpful tip for how to avoid onion-slicing-induced tears:

Using a knife, cut a cone out of the bottom of the onion (where the roots come out). The diameter of this cone should be about a third of the diameter of the onion, and about 1/3 deep. Take this piece and throw it away (don’t put it down the disposal!). This piece contains the part/gland that makes baby Jesus and everyone else in the room cry when you’re chopping it up. Once you’ve gotten that piece out, chop off the top, peel, and slice the onion.

Been doing it for years, and it works like a charm. You know your cone is too small if it doesn’t work, because you’ve cut into that teargas grenade.

My kinda day

Almost mid-January, and it hit a high of 10 Celsius today. Now THIS I can get used to. Went down to Lonestar’s in the market today to have lunch with some friends, it’s getting increasingly easier and easier to make sure i’m eating right, as i’m to the point now where i’m almost disgusted to think about the amount of calories and fat are in a typical restaurant menu.

I’m also getting better at doing groceries. I’ve picked up food for two weeks, for about 100 bucks. Not bad if I do say so myself. Now I’ve just gotta re-commit myself to keeping this place clean. I guess that’s the next habit to break.

Happy new year, you sexy beasts

So yeah, i’m a few days late, but that’s because I was out saving baby koalas. Take that Angelina Jolie.

Happy new year’s everyone! May your cups runneth over, and may zombie stay away for just one more day.

New Year’s ‘06

Andrew’s place was cool…there were more than a few people there, and good times were had. I promised J9 that I would go there for New Years, and even though some people bailed on her at the last minute, I had a blast.

Dr. Peppers (Beer, coke and amaretto) goes down super smooth…way smoother than I expected. My only regret of the night was not having more of those. Actually that’s not true, driving home alone sober after a NYE party is definitely something i’m never doing again. Maybe it was the lounge music that was messin me up, but it’s about time I found a woman. Sorry J9, as much as I enjoy our Mario Kart battles, you’re off the market.

Anyway, here’s to a year of transformation.

Xmas ‘06

Well, it wasn’t an overly exciting Christmas this year. Pretty low key, nothing spectacular, (except for some choice photos of my niece) we just kept it a quiet Christmas. It would appear though that my family seems to think that I spend alot of time reading in the bathroom, (a trait that is shared by both my brothers and my father) because I have received 3 bathroom reading books.

What they fail to realize is that I’m the exact opposite.

So now i’ve got about 2000 pages worth of useless material that i’ll never read. I’ve passed it on to my roommate, who is more than happy to sit in there and fester while reading little anecdotes and random facts that have no impact in life. But it’s the thought that counts.

I did get a new electric shaver and some cologne though. I guess they were trying to tell me something.

Viagra for Women?

In its efforts to develop a new antidepressant, a German drugmaker has stumbled upon a substance that increases female arousal… booya.
