Betty Crocker anyone?

More and more everyday I turn a little bit more into Betty Crocker. I still havent figured out if thats good or not. Im assuming since I love food its probably a good thing. On that note...Im going to a fondue party tomorrow night. It should be a really good time...i mean how bad can it be? Good food + good wine/beer + good friends = Good times! Im stoked. And in true Betty Crocker fashion I decided that we couldnt just have cheese and chocolate to dip our food into. No way...too boring. So I decided to make some fun sauces from scratch. 2 Hot sauces: a Peanut Butter sauce and a Sweet and Sour sauce. 2 Chilled sauces: a Dill sauce and a Horseradish sauce. Hopefully they will taste good and noone will become ill ;)

Jukebox Off 2005

Last weekend was an adventure to say the least. I made yet another trip from Beantown to the Big Apple. This was no ordinary trip, for no ordinary visit made by no ordinary girl (yes thank you to those who know what movie that is derived from) I made the treck Fung Wahless...yes you heard me correctly, no Fung Wah! I did travel with some friend this time, which made the drive seem alot shorter. Purpose of this trip you may ask? Our friend Chalrie was part of a Jukebox Off. The 1st Annual "Bubble" Jukebox Off 2005 NYC. So heres the deal two crazy kids, Charlie and Raj, battle on the jukebox in a tiny pub, Bailey's, in the "Bubble". The guys have 3 alternating rounds of 5 songs. Goal: impress the crowd, make em dance, make em sing, make em have a good time even if they dont want to! At the end of each round score sheets were tallied and a round winner was announced. After three rounds...well no suprise its a tie. So tie breaker is this...gentlemen choose two songs to be entered into the jukebox by the MC and the crowd will choose blindly on their favorite set. And the winner is.....Charlie! WooHoo!!! But we already saw that coming now didnt we ;) It was an absolutely fantastic time. Good beer, good friends, good times!
Check out the small sampling of photos that I put together in this album. For those of you who went and would like any of these pics either leave a comment here or get my email info from Charlie. We should do this every weekend!

Yeah I realize I havent posted in a while, I just finally met my the last deadline for project A, took a mini vaca to NYC over the weekend (which i will comment on and post pictures from in a later post), just actually filed my taxes last nite and have been training at the gym like a fiend! I should be getting back into the regular swing of things by the end of the week. Two things I would like to mention....
1. Im going to be sappy for a moment and say that I heard the sweetest thing the other day. Yeah sure maybe Ive heard it before but it gets me everytime. Someone made a comment about their significant other being their "cool breeze". Hot summer day, along comes a nice cool breeze, its one of the best feelings in the world and to have that feeling about another person is just awesome.
2. And this one goes out to ChaCha....i was watching tv the other nite. That new dating show Next on MTV. Yeah Yeah I know, but it was the first time id ever seen it and it was pritty funny. Point of story is...there was a girl who made a comment that eating is a chore. She only eats because she has to. ChaCha your not the only one, there are others...do you think she may be a long lost alien sibling? She did have red hair and was a little bit wacky.

So what do The Crow and Sin City have in common?

• Great graphic novels
• Great Directors
• Great Actors
• Great attention to detail
• Great movies!

So I just went and saw Sin City on Sunday and it was absolutely fabulous. The whole movie was done in black and white except for certain times when a splash of color would be added in for emphasis. Just like The Crow, the details of Sin City were pulled from the graphic novel to a T. There was a lot of voilence but because it was all in traditional comic book form it wasnt the least bit violent. I higly recommend this movie. Im definitely grabbing this one on DVD.
