Right now I'm ... Janine awesomeness
i just threw up in my mouth [looking for gum or tic tacs:]
Okay, let's talk about SOMETHING ELSE now! Please?

Denver airport is quite busy today. But I've seen it worse. Gotta watch for DIA sneezers, since I'm just getting over the last viral infestation.
Oh, happy day! Somebody just brought in Girl Scout cookies! Dulce de Leche, which must be new, and do-sodos (peanut butter sandwich cookies). I shall make it til the end of the day after all.
(peanut butter sandwich cookies = yum).
I watched Vicky Cristina Barcelona recently. Javier Bardem is HAAAWT in that movie (back off... MINE!)
I just watched that this past weekend! What a difference between Javier in that and his bowl cut in No Country for Old Men. Hubba hubba indeed!

Well, since No Country for Old Men wasn't my first introduction to him, I was already a fan. He's superb in everything he does, IMHO. Standouts include: Before Night Falls, Mar Adentro (The Sea Inside), Goya's Ghosts, and Love In the Time of Cholera. Of course, I returned to the theatre 5 times just to see his performance as Anton Chugar... creepy, vivid, and still intriguing - it was unlike any of the other movie roles he's had... and easily just as intense.
Heidi can talk about this guy for hours. Trust me.I hate that "threw up in my mouth" taste.
Larry, hope you make it home at a reasonable hour...that Denver airport can be a killer...
Right now I'm watching Cal/Maryland. Today has been a good day...any day I get a chance to read in a coffeeshop usually turns out to be a good day.
right now i'm: playing with my new iphone. man i love gadgets and technology
Eating lunch. Leftover homemade pasta salad made with tomato, carrot, peas, mozzarella, olives, artichoke hearts, and radiatore pasta. Love that shape, like little radiators. : )
I love radiatore - those and the wagon wheels were my favorites as a kid, especially for my mom's extra mozzarella-y mac n cheese.
Ooh...I could practically start a thread about pasta shapes. I know some people would probably think the topic boring as hell, but I have been known to stand in front of the different bags of pasta at Trader Joe's for a disturbing amount of time before I make my purchasing decision.
I've started using campanelle for mac and cheese. Their bell shape holds the cheese sauce really well, and their thicker texture adds a nice chewiness.
We've been making a lot of Vietnamese food, and buying yummy little noodle "nests" -- that's the shape they come in, and it's easy to guess quantities, like bundles of soba noodles.When I say 'we', I in fact mean that I provide dish-washing, entertainment, and moral support.
RA, you're only outing me as a Javier fanatic because you have the hots for his girl.
I've been reading a v. interesting book over the past couple of weeks (DEFINITELY not on Goodreads). It's about medicine and superstition in the Ozarks and was published around 1940. I can buy the whole bit about watching animal behavior to predict the weather, and even sort of buy the witch wigglers bit (water witches), but I'm having a hard time with wearing-underwear-soaked-in-the-medicine-person's-urine as a viable treatment to for pleuresy or feeding sowbugs in pancakes to treat bedwetting in kids. Man, there were alot of charlatans roaming the rural countryside back then!
Okay, I'm going to get Robby from the vet now. It sounds like the vet treated him and is sending him home with some meds. He's gonna be okay. :)
Yay, Robby! Who's a happy dog?
Well, he's not happy quite yet... 2 weeks of antibiotics and doggie pain killers (for the lancing). He is tired, and likely relieved to be at home with me after spending the day at the vet's office.Mommy's gonna go to bed EARLY tonight. 4 in the morning came too early and unexpectedly after 3 hours of sleep.
I'm aliiiiive! :D And I am full of spicy curries. Heidi: I'm sorry about your dog, but I'm glad to hear he's doing better.
Yay for Robby, here's to a fast two weeks of recovery.
Yay Robby!! I heart Robby, BTW. The pictures you posted are adorable. I'm glad he's going to be okay. Give him a scratch behind the ear and maybe an extra little treat from me. :)
I wasn't gone long, heh. But thanks, RA. : )
Made it home nice and early today. So far, no travel next week! Woot!I like bowtie pasta. Macaroni Grille's Pasta Milano really hit's the spot pour moi.
Yay being home!
Our Macaroni Grille went out. Bummer

That is sad. I often go to the one in Salt Lake whenever I go there for work. Or, Biaggi's. One or the other.
We still have our Biaggi's, love that place.
I'm back home after going out for curry (someone was talking about curry earlier, and it sounded really good), and some cat supplies. I'm stocking up the house on kitty litter and cat food so the pet sitters will have everything they need, in preparation for my trip next week.

I'm chatting my sister and my dad.. i think he will never realize that i've grown up.. that's his job, being an awesome dad!. My sis is crazy. Oh i'm also chatting with my ex neighbor he is like my brother.

A lot, I bet, if you're hitting the green syrup like Larry.
Sally wrote: "Doesn't it weird you out to go to a restaurant in Salt Lake and not find any alcohol on the menu? It does me, but I'm a lush."There's plenty there. The mixed drinks are bad, yes -- but wine and beer are just as good in restaurants, I've found.
I'm going to Buenos Aires next Thursday. Chris has a medical translator's conference there, and we're making a vacation out of it. I've never been to South America before, I'm pretty excited. I think I'd like to take a tango lesson. :D
That would be tricky for me, multi-chatting that way. Yeah, especially in NyQuil land.

*scoots ficus in front of self*
I heard they changed some of the crazy liquor laws in Utah. Like, you used to be able to get alcohol only in those little bottles like on airplanes when you went to a bar for drinks.Now, they can have full-sized bottles! But the bartender can't serve you across the bar. They have to come around the bar and hand it to you.
The laws are certainly bizarre. I usually stick to wine by the glass or micro-brew beer on tap.
Last week on Big Love they showed what is believed to be one of the secret ceremonies of the LDS Temple. It was shocking, in a way.
What did they do, Larry?

My sister used to work as a dog groomer. She would express her dog's glands every time she'd bathe him... a rubber glove and a squeeze... and the stuff would run out in the tub. It was disgusting and intriguing all at the same time - I never had any idea that dogs could have so much gunk hidden up there, waiting to be popped like a zit (a v. stinky zit)!
