Katt Williams was arrested for burglary? What the hell?

Anyways, my old phone is but a memory and a hunk of plastic sitting next to me on my desk. Hint for those looking into SmartPhones: Avoid Windows Mobile like it’s Windows ME.

I get why people like touch screens now…They are easy to love when yours isn’t cheap an ineffective. No real complaints so far. Here’s some photos I took with it out and about around Madison this past weekend when the weather was INCREDIBLE. It was in the 70s this weekend and I was in heaven. I haven’t worn a sweater in days.
*Be warned, they’re small as I uploaded them to Twitter….

Downtown Madison from Olin Park:

Awesomely still Halloweeny house way out on the east side:

Awesome record store:

So yeah, varied results. but that first one is damn good with a Camera phone. The second I took while driving…thus moving. Weird. Anyways. That record store is home to MANY awesome used records. My record player should be coming soon, which is great, because I already know I’m going back for even more… yeah, I bought some things. Most notably U2′s Boy. Great album. And the prices are insane. Lots of awesome records for $6.50.

I also saw ‘the Men Who Stare At Goats’ this weekend and while reviews are saying it’s not so hot, I really enjoyed it. It was really entertaining and kept me hooked in throughout. And there were a few REALLY good looking trailers beforehand. Notably Brothers and the new Mel Gibson as an actor flick. I know Mel’s kinda’ gross these days, but I’m hoping he’ll be able to shake the image and get back to making awesome movies I want to see. Not Jesus pictures and weird movies.

Also peeped out Taken on DVD this weekend. Solid movie, well told, well acted, and another one that had its hooks in me throughout. great rent, definitely worthy of a quick Netflixing.

So I’m at target this weekend, perusing, deciding what groceries to buy when I see the Vegan section. Fucking vegans, right? I’ve never been fond of this garden burger, soy burger nonsense and am rarely quiet about it. I’m rarely quiet about anything. Unfortunately for me, though, I’ve never actually tried any of that stuff. I am a red meat consumer. What the fuck am I going to do with soy? But I figured I might as well bite the bullet and at least try it so it’s an informed opinion.

I picked up a four pack of Boca Burgers and declared (internally) this this was FOR SCIENCE. I also picked up some whole wheat ‘sandwich thins’ which are like really think hamburger buns. Might as well commit. Tonight was the night. I read around online and found that grilling Boca burgers often leaves them dry tasting, which I don’t want. Everyone suggested microwaving them, which…Really? All this concern about health then nuking the thing? I instead put the smallest amount of olive oil in a frying pan, put it on medium heat and cooked them for about 10 minutes until they looked ‘done.’

Damnit were they good. Tasted like a burger. I’m sure this was because I got the ‘flame grilled’ seasoned ones, but I absolutely plan on continuing to purchase these. All the goodness, none of the fat. Win. And since there’s a Kraft company store here in Madison, I might have to go down there and see what kinda’ deal I can get.

Now I did throw some condiments on mine. A little spicy brown mustard, and a tiny bit of BBQ sauce. That’s how I tend to dress my burger. I wanted to toss some veggies on but I didn’t have anything burger-worthy in the fridge and didn’t stop at the store on the way home. Dress this up with some lettuce and some chopped onion and damnit…Success.

It’s 11…When did that happen? I need to get to getting to bed here pretty soon. I’ve been slowly trying to make a habit of getting to work early…Because that means I leave early and I’m trying to get into that habit by the time snow star starts to fall cause I know it’s going to take quite a bit longer to get there.

As was seen in my last post I can update from my phone, which is kind of a nice touch. Being run on a Google OS I’m also tied into Youtube, so I’ll be able to upload direct to YouTube from the little bastard. Hopefully this’ll lead to more video posts soon. And eventually the videos from moving. Jesus have I ever dropped the ball on that. It’s alright, it’s what I’m good at. AND this has been a pretty substantial update, no?

Moving forward… goodnight.

**Edited to add:
Within five minutes of posting this I got THREE gay sex spam comments I had to delete.

I wonder which part of the post attracted them to my site. Vegetarians or cell phones.

or a George Clooney movie.
