Ideas for a movie (not really)


The word 'steep' is much more fun when used in the context of tea.

I like how the word fiery is spelled.

List shows never come close to matching up with what I think about whatever subject they're covering.  Also, most of the people making comments on the shows are complete douchebags ESPECIALLY on VH1.  Or maybe it's just the clips that are edited for the show.  Whatever it is, I hate VH1.

Someone needs to make chips that are healthy for you while still being delicious.

You HAVE to try these chocolate tortilla chips.  Seriously.  They are amazing.  They're just like normal tortilla chips... crunch, chomp chomp chomp, yum yum yum... wait a second...  chocolate aftertaste!  Still grossed out?  Well, you're wrong.

You know what?  We didn't need that xbox 360 that was on sale during Circuit City's liquidation closing. 
But we should have gone to that furniture store when they were going out of business.

TMNT.

If you asked me what I'd be doing five years from now, five years ago, I'm not sure if I would have immediately answered 'having a baby.'

I am STOKED to be having a baby with my awesome wife.

FOOD

East:  Go out for lunch everyday at work.  Get lots of takeout at home.  (Papa John's online ordering is AMAZING)  So is that place that way down on 116th st that had all of those delicious drinks.  If we didn't find that loose insert that had all the drinks on it, ordering from there or one of the closer chinese places was a toss-up, but once we had that drink slip, dinner was going to be awesome.  Gourmet chips!!  I had a running taste test on basically any and every bag of gourmet chips that I could find.  Or it didn't even have to be fancy just as long as I haven't tried it yet.  Results:  Cape Cod lightly salted potato chips offered the perfect crunch and saltiness; FoodShouldTasteGood's previously mentioned chocolate tortilla chips wins the novelty award; and probably tons of other good chips that I forgot about by now.   
The bad news of my food eating habits out in NYC was that I was definitely starting to gain a bit of weight.  The good news of living out on the east coast was that there were a bajillion awesome places to eat...     actually that's probably a good idea for a whole separate blog!  Moving on...

West:  Cooking.  Julie works hard teaching high schoolers and she gets mega tired at night.  It's up to Nate to make some delicious meals!  Basically there is ZERO takeout.  We never order anything for delivery because: One, you're going to have to pay for it, and no establishment is right around the block; Two, if we're going to eat out we're either eating at the place or taking it home in the car.  The good news of less take out and splurging on whatever gourmet candy or fattening crap I got from the corner deli is that I'm probably a bit healthier.  Also, not wasting tons of dough on food all the time, being pissed off at poker and ordering Papa John's on the internet because I'm too lazy to cook something.  Also, with roommates, the kitchen was perpetually dirty.  Now that I have control over this area, the place is usually clean for me to work my magic.  Tomorrow it's some ice cream (thanks to Hass for the maker), cookies, and pizza from scratch.  

Question I couldn't immediately answer of the week:  What's the coolest thing you've ever done in Montana? (Lee asking me during a conversation about MT)

Answer to the question after thinking about it of the week:  Battlesledding.
