I felt like chicken tonight.
Tonight’s dinner was a home-run. Seriously. It was utterly amazing.
And simple to boot.
I had some left over veggies I wanted to use so defrosted some chicken to go along with it.

Not many people know this, but I’m a huge fan of the Back to the Future trilogy. I own the special edition DVD of the three movies and I’ve been known to just hunker down and watch them all – including with the bonus pop-up trivia feature. I’ll often quote it or throw out a random reference to something from the movie. I’m always happy when I find a kindred spirit who not only gets the reference but also enjoys the movies as much as me.
I’m still waiting for my Hoverboard and Mr. Fusion. If someone could get on that, I’d appreciate it.
Don’t judge – we all have guilty pleasures.
Earlier today, my friend Emily unknowingly sent me to the blog Cake Wrecks, not knowing I would stumble across this most excellent cake:

I’m totally debating if I should have something like this for my 30th birthday.
Or perhaps this one:
I also came across this on my friend Adam’s Twitter:
14 Things from Back to the Future II That Actually Came True, and 5 That Haven’t… Yet
I really hope they are wrong about the whole Cubs winning the World Series thing. I mean – it has to happen eventually, right?!
I think in honor of this post, I’m going to watch BTTF2 tonight. Or tomorrow, since Glee is on tonight. Decisions, decisions.
Let’s be honest, I’m easily amused
On my Google Reader (which if you are not using you need to start ASAP) I have a bunch of feeds in a folder I call Snark. Included in this collection are such sites as Regresty, You Suck at Craigslist, Passive Aggressive Notes, TFLN and I Can Haz Cheezburger.
Today, I was cleaning out my feeds and decided to take a look at some of the suggested feeds to see if there was anything I could or should add. While scrolling through various suggestions, I stumbled across this gem:
I can haz change?
I’m braving a trek to Minneapolis today to go to the U to see President Barack Obama. This is the 1st of his 4 most recent visits where I get to attend as me. Not a staffer, not staffing my boss, but as an individual.
I’m kind of excited about this.
I love doing things were I get to go as me and enjoy it for myself – no responsibilities, no stress – with some friends, my camera, and I’m sure, tons of laughs.
Expect a photo post about this event later today.
Exploding the Pony vs Box o’ Kittehs
Florida Bomb Squads have had a rough few months.
First we had the great Explode the Pony incident of 2010.
Now we have the Box of Kittens Scare in Orlando.
What’s next? Troll Dolls shutting down a major interstate?

I’ve always been a big fan of animals and have had pets most of my life. When I was little there was the standard string of carnival goldfish, a parakeet, a gecko (that phase didn’t last too long), hamsters, in addition to Snickers the cat (that ended up living for 20 years!) and Comet, my Golden Retriever. As I grew up and eventually moved away from home for college and then later to start my career, I knew that I would always have pets.
