You are tricky, I give you that. What if no one who was at that ACL was sober enough during the experience to actually know What Happens At ACL well enough to convey it to anyone else? Huh, Ms. Smarty A. Pants? What then? Perhaps it stayed at ACL???

Hey
 

Hey. You people. Are you talking in code or something? Because it's annoying. Trust me. I'm speaking for the viewers out here who do not know the code. So, take that for what it's worth.

A Little Help?
 

I always knew there was a great guy in there. That's why I'm so hopelessly devoted to you on the Internet. :kisscheek

My old Lands End stirrup pants are relegated to wearing for cleaning house and yardwork. But they are soooooooo comfortable.

ETA: I was walking along the sidewalk this morning behind a trio of very young, very tall & very skinny women. Any of them could wear the Audrey Hepburn skinny black pants.

So
 

I hope that bnb was on a plane or something instead of watching that Giants-Eagles game yesterday. There was a lot of screaming and jumping around during the 4th quarter and overtime at Casa SensiMan. Also cupcakes. Now I am eating the leftover cupcakes one by one.

Fashion Observation
 

Not exactly (see this post and the one following).

So
 

What the hell happened? It appeared to be a rout and then, not so much. Too much confidence in the second half? I was not able to watch the game seeing as I was at another game.

How many turkeys did you sodomize to prove this theory?

So
 

CUP-FUCKING-CAKES? What flavor?

Though, I went to the local alcoholic beverage place to get dinner, and American football was on, and it was really annoying with the clock stopping like every 6 or 8 seconds. WTF? That's stupid.

The guy who seemed to be the coach of the team that was losing, which apparently is also the team that won the bowl that is superb last year, looked pissy.



ETA the gruyere and ham pizza (for those who eat the pig) is really fucking good.

A Little Help?
 

You know that that is not what Less does when you kiss him on the cheek, right?

So
 

I make a modified version of this pizza every few weeks - http://www.sysco.com/recipes/recipep...4&mealtypeid=8

I don't use the Sysco brand (not even sure what that is - just wanted to make prosciutto and gruyere pizza so Googled exactly that), but the basic premise is wonderful. The Trader Joe's premade pizza dough works well.

Napoleon Dynamite is going to reproduce. You heard it here first.

I watched Studio 60 last night. I was a bit worried as the avalanche of press that the show was getting made me think that the press was trying just a bit too hard to sell it. I was pleasantly supprised. The writing was tight and Matthew Perry was actually pretty decent in an almost non-Chandler Chandler role.

I believe that I will watch next week as well.

He [Matthew Perry] looks very handsome in the ads in Times Square. Non-Bloated-Bloviated. He's a good looking kid and he's aging okay. I think even Chandler maybe he was a tad too pretty boy maybe now after 10 detoxes or whatnot he looks okay.

new t.v. shows
 

Yup. It's early, but this show has real potential.

Accordingly, I have reinstated the Nice Job, Aaron Sorkin Altar* at the Gattigap household.

Is Aaron Sorkin the one with the pricey call girl and the coke habit? that one?

Sure, though there's an entirely separate altar for that stuff.

That must be the "offerings on his behalf to the pagan gods" subsection.

L'il Ty, who has watched more than his share of baseball and soccer, couldn't agree more.

easy lunch tip
 

I bought some packaged Indian entrees in a pouch from Trader Joe's. I'm trying to eat lunch in, but putting a lunch together is too much. So I see these pouch things, assume they'll be horrible, but buy 3- eggplant something, lentil something and a paneer and spinach.

they were quite good, considering pouch to microwave to Hank.
The paneer was not firm like in a restaurant, and the vegetables are too mushy (close to baby food)- but the flavors are fine. It's like, if this were a restaurant it would go out of business, but it sure is an easy way to get a quick lunch.

easy lunch tip
 

At this very moment I am eating a TJ's broccoli quiche, and I often rely on the roasted vegetable burrito or the less healthy chicken chimichanga for those days when I can't stand the thought of a 10-minute walk to grab lunch.

easy lunch tip
 

Whole Foods frozen Indian Food I bet is better. just a hunch

easy lunch tip
 

Most days I can't stand the thought of not walking somewhere outside the office to get lunch. I don't mind the idea of bringing lunch at all, but when I do I get a little nutso unless I contrive some other errand to get myself outside.

easy lunch tip
 

me too. I always go out midday, rain or shine. It's like a sanity break.

Speaking of which, today I woke up in a very.bad.mood. I don't think it is hormonal. I am just getting annoyed and frustrated with everyone around me. What can I do to cure these blues?

I have tried masturbating, eating chocolate, and working out (not all at the same time). I threw a bit of a hissy fit at my trainer for which I am quite embarrased, so that didn't work. I would like a massage but I don't think I can leave here early today. Sex would be good but I don't want to pick a fight with my boyfriend. Right now I am squeezing the crap out of a stress ball.

easy lunch tip
 

Why would this cause a fight?

easy lunch tip
 

Not cause and effect. I would just actually have to talk to him as well as have sex with him and the talking might lead to fighting because I am in a fighting mood.

easy lunch tip
 

You could edit your ignore list.

easy lunch tip
 

Done properly, this can be a stress release as well.

easy lunch tip
 

I fight with him a lot though, for legitimate reasons. If I start fighting with him for stress release on top of that, he might dump me. I don't want that.

easy lunch tip
 

Perhaps you should have sex with someone else so you don't have to fight with your boyfriend.

easy lunch tip
 

Oh, not verbal fighting. Wrestling. Which could also obviate some of the need for the verbal ones. Unless you're much stronger and he's insecure about that, in which case it could end things altogether. It's a tightrope.

easy lunch tip
 

He will not wrestle with me. I have sucker-punched him way too many times.

But all this talk is making me feel better. So thank you for indulging me.

easy lunch tip
 

email him that you want to meet and do a "Helen Keller and stableboy" fantasy?

A gal with her credentials would have no problem finding some willing volunteers.

This sounds like a good plan.

Sex usually works out of all those.

Perhaps, but we won't ever know. A variant on the tree-falling-in-the-forest-but-noone-around-to hear-it conundrum...

I had forgotten until this morning that . . .

easy lunch tip
 

I do have this crush on this one guy who is quite possibly the hottest guy in the universe -- I wish there was a picture of him on google image search so that I could share his glory. Unfortunately I think that sex would screw up our friendship. That, and it would not help my reputation.

But thank you.
