Show and Tell: Blog

I heard about this blog courtesy of Elliot in the Morning. Of Meghan's G-town experience fame.
As I near my bellydance performance, I am ever aware of my belly. More to the point, how it looks in the costume. Some days it's ok, other days I wonder it they make at-home liposuction kits! I just hope this guy doesn't show up to the show.


FUPA Hunter
What it a FUPA? A FUPA is a Man or a Woman so afflicted by obesity that their pubic area is used to store patches of soft fatty waste. Often sighted at work, the food court at the mall and Walmart, they can be spotted in families, or occasionally traveling in groups called 'schwaggles'

Confessions of a quiche whore in a bad relationship.

I’m a quiche whore in a bad relationship. Since the 3rd week of class I have been whoring myself at the Xs counter in hopes of scoring. It started innocently enough. I went to Xs for a Mocha-Snooty-Latte and a muffin. While I waited...I began reading. After catching up on current events, I started on the menu. Suddenly those magical words appeared: QUICHE!!!

They had three kinds: Broccoli and cheese, Italian Sausage and Red Pepper and finally, Spinach with roasted Garlic and Goat cheese! I was in heaven. I immediately ordered one. They didn’t have my first choice of the Spinach, so I went with Italian. Bellisimo. That quiche was all I talked about for two days! I couldn’t wait for our next class, so I could go to Xs.

Sunday. Once again, Xs didn’t have my spinach quiche, but it was ok. I was still in my honeymoon phase with quiche and this letdown didn’t bother me. I went with broccoli and cheese.

Yet another week went by. Once again I whored myself at the counter. And once again they had no Spinach. I was mildly annoyed, but accepted the behavior. They had a bad day, I’m sure. It won’t happen again.


Oh, but it did! And it’s still happening! These are pre-made quiches people! Order a box and stick it in the fridge. It’s not rocket science. It’s food item made in bulk from reconstituted egg product! There is no 5-star French chef tucked away in the back slaving away over ANY of the menu items, so it can’t be that difficult to actually HAVE the stuff you promise!

Three months and no spinach quiche!!!! Take it off the damn menu if you’re not going to serve it and stop toying with me!

On Saturday I will be going to the counter, hoping for my quiche. And once again the goth-hipster wannabe will tell me that they are out of quiche. YOU CAN’T BE OUT OF SOMETHING YOU NEVER CARRY IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!

I realize that is just a quiche and that there are far better things I should be worrying about, like passing Words and Images. But I do worry about those other important matters a lot. I just want a little reprieve in the form of a spinach quiche. Is that too much to ask, Jay?

Description-Show and Tell

I found this book while I was an undergrad. I was browsing around Barnes and Noble, no doubt reading magazine I had no intention of buying while drinking coffee and somehow saw this book. The cover caught my attention first. I'm a sucker for B&W or vintage looking covers and since this was a collection of newspaper stories, I couldn't resist. (Besides, Cosmo had no good sex tips that month!)

The stories have a wide range of topics. There are light-hearted stories like the rivalry that is the Univ. of Florida/Florida State football games (nothing like 8th grade and GED degree-toting Rednecks getting into a frenzy about UNIVERSITY sports) and the incredibly sad series on Susan Smith who drowned her two little boys in the early '90s.

The bulk of his stories are Southern-fried, so you'll either nod in agreement or roll your eyes in exasperation. I do both!

Typography-Show and Tell

Publix is a Florida chain of grocery stores. They have a line of quick-cook meals and cooking classes called Aprons. The designers for Publix have won awards for the store brand packaging. The actual logo for Publix hasn't changed in over 20 years.

Bad Blogger

I suck at this blogging thing! I kept up pretty well until Spring Break. The wheels sorta fell off after that.

My new job is refreshing after my previous stint at the Center for the Ever-So-Slightly-Fucking-Insane(CftESSFI). My boss and co-workers seem rather sane, or at least take their meds regularly! I have less responsibility which is nice.

And the best part...only having to gas my car ONCE a week!! At CftESSFI I was rocking a habit of three times a week!
