Food Porn

So I may have mentioned previously that although I don't cook, or even want to cook, I am hooked on The Food Network. I can watch for hours. I have all my regular shows and have learned lots about cooking. I even know what deglazing a pan means.

So anyway, point of my story is that when Meghan was staying with us I got her a little bit hooked too. We now refer to the shows on The Food Network as Food Porn. So totally appropriate.

Perhaps one of these days I will actually cook something. Stay tuned.

Wisdom of Meghan

Gay guy: How do I make my friends more accepting of me?

Meghan: If your friends don't accept you maybe it's time for new friends. Dump them.

I know I keep telling him to eat a sandwich...

Tim: I'll try the Slamwich.

Denny's Waitress: Would you like bacon on that?

Tim: Will that increase my chances of having a heart attack?

Denny's Waitress: Probably.

Blogging from Starbucks...

...Does it get any better?

The wonders of modern wireless technology. Speaking of technology; I have finally moved into the realm of BlackBerrys. Well that is a bit inaccurate I guess. I do have BlackBerry data services attached to my account. I do not have a BlackBerry yet though. If ever there was a man who hated the word "backorder" right now it would be me. I ordered a BlackBerry Curve just over two weeks ago and last I heard it won't be in stock till the 15th of this month. I am hopeful that it will be here before Christmas at least. We'll see I guess.

More technology news. I bought a new Sony VAIO Laptop. You couldn't tell by me there is any economic crisis going on. So back to the laptop. I went with a 15.4" for the sake of portability. Basically I sacraficed the number pad and 2" of screen. I think it works out okay. Now I just have to have my most awesomest IT guy (you know who you are, Bryan) come and figure out why I can hook up to wireless at Starbucks but not on my own home wireless network.

So after Starbucks today we are off to Ottawa to check out The National Gallery. Ikea, need to find a bed for Lil' Timmy's room. We'll hopefully fit in a few friends as well though we have not firmed anything up really. We'll make some calls when we get there.

Hey, if any of my readers are hot lesbians. I am trying to get Meghan laid. Inquire.

That about does it for today.

Mr Lonely?

So I am back on days. I have my evenings free. What a perfect week for Dan to be in Banff. NOT. Oh well, I will get through it. I have QDG tomorrow. QDG is the new name for COLA in case you didn't know. Tim is staying here after and has designs on the last of the apple pie. Meghan is moving in on Friday for a couple weeks since she is homeless untill she can get into her apartment. That should prove entertaining. Having her cat here certainly might provide entertainment.

Well thats about all I've got for now. Pretty boring. I'll try and come up with some crisis to entertain you all as soon as possible.

Oh and Andrew is awesome and apparently above average. You wanted me to mention you...

Here's to Tracy and Dan Wood

Well last Saturday was the big wedding of the season. Tracy and Dan finally made it legal. The ceremony was brief and to the point. The reception was a great time.

I was a bit sketched out by the whole Trenton thing. Holiday Inn is a bit like camping for me after some of the places I have stayed in the last few years. Surprisingly the hotel was actually quite nice. The room was nicely updated and oddly the towels were nicer than some of those other hotels in that they were quite soft and did not smell of industrial bleach. Also, it seems we were the only ones who's reservation didn't get fucked up. I love having good travel karma.

The event itself started off quite nice in that when we got to the church we were greeted by Dan's mom, Janice. Janice has never met us but she knew exactly who we were and told us she has heard so much about us. That scared me for a bit but she seemed to have only heared the good stuff so it was okay.

The reception, at the Trenton Legion was a blast dispite the venue and the surly, dried up old serving ladies who always wanted to take everything away even if you were not finished. When we don't know many people in a group Dan and I tend to be wallflowers but Tracy's mom Brenda was very quick to drag us away from the back wall. Brenda is awesome as is the entire family. I can really tell where Brandon, Tracy and Margaret get their sense of humour.

I just want to say that I am so happy that Tracy found Dan and vice-versa. I am pretty sure Dan is the only straight man who can really appreciate Tracy's epic sense of funny. I love you both.

Recycling the past...

So since nothing really interesting happened today let me dredge something up from the summer of no blogs.

The 3AM border crossing on the way to Pittsburgh...

Looking back I guess I should have known that 4 guys crossing the border on their way to a furry convention are going to get pullled over for sure. At least we had the big fursuit dog head in the trunk to back us up. Well after a half an hour answering random questions we were back on our way to the land of Anthrocon. Anthrocon was more fun that I ever expected. It kind of reminded me of the Star Trek conventions I attended in my younger days except the Anthrocon attendees were much less serious. Let me tell you that you have not lived till you have seen 30 furries do The Time Warp. Ego Boost: Mikey was hit on by a "straight" boy (and a 6 foot skunk from South Carolina). Good times.

I have to say that Pittsburgh surprised me. It was so very much like Chicago but with less art. It was reasonably clean, at least the areas we were in were clean. There was lots of good architecture and some good museums, most notably The Andy Warhol Museum. There was also no tax on clothes and shoes. Gay heaven to be sure. Mikey came home with a new pair of Pumas.

I am definitely looking forward to going again next year. At least next year it doesn't happen on the same weekend as Toronto Pride.

PS: To whoever found that lost SD Card outside of The Warhol Museum. I was not defiling that teddy bear, we're just close that way.
