I love chicken wings… I also really love the buffalo chicken sauce. So since I’m the ultimate sucker for advertising as soon as I saw the bottle of Franks Redhot at the Giant I heard the commercial in my head. “It’s got more taste” “Those other sauces suck balls” It’s amazing what they can get away with on TV these days. So I picked that up right away. What a coincidence, it was sitting on top of the chicken wing cart… long story short.. I destroyed about a pound of chicken wings for lunch and may have licked the plate. With a Coke Zero of course, I’m not an animal.

No commentsSince I’m trying not to push my high weight record of 227 I have been trying to eat in the office more. I’ve always had tv dinners because my mom cooked with the microwave more than the oven. I’ve had both the good and the bad tv dinners. The consensus is that whenever you put heatlhy food into the microwave what comes out is some kind of sludge similar to Krusty Brand imitation gruel. But seriously, this has to be the best one of these healthy lunches that I have tried for lunch. I dont’ really remember all the flavor adventures I have been on, but here’s what I do remember. Weight Watchers (Red Box) sucks. All of them are like cardboard with water and mayo. Lean Cuisine is not that bad if you stick to the asian stuff. But these Healthy Choice ones are big and awesome and delicious

Before I start on the Purcell Reunion that I just got back from I have to say something about this picture I found on the Bar N0ne website. Does anyone else remember the waitress being this hot? even the beer goggles I had on didn’t make her look like this. Call this girl next time we go to NYC B!!
So anyway I just got back from the family reunion in Kansas City Missouri. nice place I guess, though I can’t see how it supports two one and a half major sports teams, the Chiefs and the Royals. This reunion was for my Grandmother’s brothers and sisters and their families, therefore I hardly knew anyone. It was at my Great Uncle Al’s farm/ranch in St George.
Al is a really nice guy, and also a very rich old guy. I remember visiting his house in Fairfax Station when we first moved to Virginia and playing bocce ball with Todd, I think, I was only 9. He’s an executive with Xerox (among other things) and he’s been there long enough to afford 160 acres of Missouri farmland and a house fit for a king. I don’t want to drone on about how cool the house was, cause that’s not what this trip was about, but lets say that it had enough walnut trim to fill an entire forest. And a wine cellar… and a sauna… and a bar… and what seemed like a little restaurant. I would swear I saw a Starbucks in there somewhere.
Apparently the Purcell’s make the Tuley’s look subdued… but that’s all relative (oh god what a bad pun). And because of that I knew that they were all right and all family. I can’t do the snooty family thing. All my relatives are real people with real problems. That’s why we get along so well and why we fight, cause that’s what people do. But we always seem to find a way to forgive each other (or at least not talk about it, too much)
There were so many different careers and locations to keep track of I tried to remember it all, luckily there is a excel spreadsheet for addresses and phone numbers. I want to try and turn that into some kind of database driven system to keep track of those things and maybe some other information. I guess I’ll get to put my programming skills to the test! And I have a cousin that works for Macromedia so maybe I can get some coldfusion help from him.
The three days were full of things to do, softball game, hayride, FIREWORKS, and lots and lots of eating. This was my first time at a family reunion and I would definitely go again. I had a great time talking with cousins and uncles that I didn’t even know I had. I think the planning committee has decided to get this together again in two years, so 2007 I’ll be there again. via 7 most recent MOblogs are from there
Moved out, Moved in, Cleaned, Cleaned, Barbcue, Cleaned, Got the shaft from boner, Back to work. Lets hope that I can put this all behind me. New house new roomates, lets make this the clean (er) house. I’m not trying to lose my security deposit this time.and I’m also not trying to ever hang out with our new jailhouse tattooed neighbor ever again, he needs to stay on his side of 8 mile.

So the great migration to Vienna has begun. We actually got much more done last night than I thought we would have. Most of the major furniture is done. But tonight we tackle THE BAR, dum dum dum. This should be entertaining. I reallllllly dont think it’s going to fit down the stairs in one piece. But you never know, we lifted the tv over our heads and I didnt think that was possible. I’m really excited about the house, not only is it bigger than the apartment but it’s cooler by a long way too. There are some things that may have to be fixed and other things that need to be improved but I’m sure that it will be a good time living there.

I think maybe I had heard of this story before today… But she was on Elliot this morning so I really heard alot about it today. I’ll give you a short summary if you have no idea what I’m talking about
She works on Capitol Hill in some senator’s office, or did… she got fired for writing a blog. Much like this one except I would say not as cool and filled with just a TEENY bit more sex. Actually a LOT more sex. That’s pretty much the only thing on there. She used initials for the men she was involved with so nobody knew who they were. So I think the big deal is that when people found her blog online they assumed she would be the new Monica Lewinski… but it turns out that she didn’t sleep with anyone that powerful. So WTF, why is she still around? Why did she get a book deal? Why is Elliot so interested in her?
I have no idea!
People on the radio kept asking her if she had a problem dating married men, and she would casualy answer “that’s not MY problem, as long as I’m having fun”. My favorite part of the story is that she would go on a lunch date with these guys, F them , and recieve an envelope of money. But NOOOOOO she’s not a *cough* slut *cough* whorebag *cough* prostitute.But I don’t give a rats ass about this sleeze, I’m just confused about why she is famous now. Cause she works on Capitol Hill? Bobby works there and he’s not famous, Unless you count the infamous ability to steal things. There are reasons to care about famous slutty women… here are some…
- They are hot and rich (Paris Hilton)
- They are hot and semi-talented (Pamela Anderson)
- They are hot and pornstars (TOO MANY)
- They are hot and actors/wild partiers (Tara Reid)
- They are hot and HOT MODELS (random model name here)
- They did somebody really famous (Monica Lewinsky, that girl from Colorado-Kobe)
Maybe I should start writing about my sex life on here. I live pretty close to DC right, the book deals will start pouring in! But I did like one quote from her on Elliot. “Any guy who tries to have anal with you while you’re sober, dosen’t really love you.”
No shit.

I figure I’d better write about this before I forget.
Guys hate shaving, that is pretty much a universal fact. The only reason most of us shave at all is that we have to go to work and look somewhat professional. Also that Unabomber look dosen’t really attract the ladies. I recently took some time off from work and went on vacation. I came back with the requisite “vacation beard”. I was off for a little while so it had grown in pretty well by the time I came back. Now I must admit I’m not Teen Wolf or anything, but I’m not the “Mexican Hairless” that my dad is. So there is SOME skin showing through no matter how long I let it get. So anyway, when I got back I just let it grow. Grow you little bastards GROW! I’m always a fan of facial hair experimentation, except for neckbeards… WTF is that!?. So I did a little trimming, and went with the rough, I may be dating Britney Spears look. Made popular my trendy celebs like the infamous Kevin “Mr. Spears” Federline. Or to a lesser extent Fred Durst. While this look does require less shaving overall, thus making my life 5% easier, I have one thing that I’m taking away from this… beards itch! It took me about at week to find this out and get sick of it. So I shaved it off the other day… well most of it. I’ve kept some sweet burns goin. They may come off soon too. But I’ve always been a fan of giant sideburns.
