Fun in the kitchen! And other places!

I had some leftover red bell pepper from my last cooking marathon, so I played mad chef a bit and cooked it up with diced onion, carrots, and chicken in olive oil, chucking in just for shits and giggles (more the latter than the former *crosses fingers*) oregano, garlic powder, some butter, and Lowry's salt (I pray at the altar of Lowry's salt, sprinkle it on a shoe and it'll taste good). I didn't measure anything, I just went for it. I mixed the whole mess in with egg noodles and the result is... well, still nothing that would've come out of my mom's kitchen, but not bad either! Honestly though, the idea of making a meal and just throwing in spices and stuff I liked and coming up with something tasty and interesting has always been kind of a dream of mine. I envy really good cooks the same way I do musicians.

Anyway, it was a long, frustrating, tiring day today, but it's almost over, I've got an episode of US Top Gear to check out whenever I feel like it, and tomorrow there is Rifftrax Live! Whooo! Jack the Giant Killer, which looks like someone trying to carry on the old Jason and the Argonauts style when that was still cutting-edge. It's really nice to have something special like Rifftrax Live right in the middle of the week, so rare that that happens. The day after I'm going to be enduring a seminar on payroll law... mostly for the brownie points and the possibility of going home early, but hey, especially considering what went down today, maybe I'll learn a thing or two. And then the day after that there's a comedy show sponsored by Planned Parenthood! Should be good times- I had no idea there was like an arts community maybe half an hour from my apartment. So, I've got a busy second half of a week, is what I'm saying.

Okay, I feel like US Top Gear now. Although, really, another "what's the toughest truck" challenge? Come on, guys. That other episode where you tested all of your first cars was great, I had never seen UK Top Gear do that! I don't need more friggin' trucks.

One of the old Cow Nipple writers (no one you've met) did standup, and he invited us all to go see him perform at some college-sponsored thing or another, but I never got a chance. For the better, probably. I'm sure it would've been...awkward.

Heh, is it backwards, then? Well anyway, that's why I could never travel with the Doctor, time zones alone confound me.

It would be strange to watch someone I knew do stand-up. It has been interesting listening to Nerdist, though- they have a lot of really amazing comics on talking a lot of genuine theory and stuff.

Yeah, we're something like five hours or so behind. I have to avoid the live-posts for Top Gear and until someone posts a download.

To be fair a lot of the Cow Nipple meetings tended to devolve into bad (sometimes cringeworthy) stand-up. But in public is just a whole different level. We were going to do podcast-ish things way back when, or basically just record meetings, but then we realized some of the stuff we said would totally get us banned or protested or both.

Yeah, that does make sense, because it's the same with DW; they see it before we do sometimes a week beforehand when BBCA screws with us.

We-ell, you slap an explicit label on there when you put it on iTunes and you're golden, more or less.

It's a weird experience to see those posts and know something is airing right now, and yet, you're not missing it.

P.S. Dangit, I wanted to go to sleep at 10, but Carpe Brewski updated. *desperately tries to skim and not skim at the same time*

Well, I'd still be worried about how that'd be perceived by the public university that funds our existence. I say, like I'm still running the damn paper. I miss running the damn paper.

I still feel like I'm missing it, sometimes enough to try and download it once it's available.

Pffft, I'm reading about assets and liabilities of the Federal Reserve System, which is just as exciting as epic bromances.
