Doc Perez the lost cat I posted about is back and safe!

t-shirt ideas from things said while waiting for a train: 1. “don’t go chasing waterfalls” and 2. “stop ignoring me with your iPhone”.

Oh, I like Tortas. I had no idea.

July 14, 2008

I just ate an apple and a banana, and a bag of baked Lays for lunch. These things are free at work— “I Bought an iPhone Diet”.

July 13, 2008

I bought one of those ceramic cups with a rubber coffee lid. Despite reviews, I like the iPhone camera. http://twitpic.com/3ykt

Skokie cat missing

Stuffed kitty, originally uploaded by yoosed.

Ok, my friend’s awesome cat, Doctor Perez, got out of the house the other night and is missing. If you live in Skokie, IL, please keep an eye out, and if you know anyone around there, please spread the word. He’s male, black and white, super furry, friendly. No collar. Thanks. If you spot him: nerdpita@yahoo.com

What I use the internet for

I’m reading Margaret Atwood’s “Cat’s Eye” for the first time—I know, so late—and she mentions a dessert I’ve never heard of called a “Junket” involving tablets:

“Perversely I long for the desserts of my childhood, the desserts of war, simple and inexpensive and bland: tapioca pudding, with its gelatinous fish eyes, Jell-O caramel pudding, Junket. Junket was made with white tablets that came out of a tube, and served with a dollop of grape jelly on the top. Probably it’s vanished by now.”

let’s go back in time and be in this room

sour toe cocktails donotwantomfgwtf?

Did you guys hear about actual toes in cocktails on KCRW’s Goodfood? Human toes. Severed, human, pickled toe. And someone watches you to see that the toe touches your lips. Seriously. And you thought the bacon martini was gross.

I’d like some female comic book superheros to look like this

Nancy Cunard

Instead of, say, Power Girl.

Pimm’s Cup no.1

My summer drink right now is the Pimm’s Cup. With cucumber, please. I’m still trying to figure out what variation tastes the best. I think I’ll try adding orange slices and mint along with the cucumber.

Best of Chicago

I like the 2008 Chicago Reader’s Best of list. If you don’t live in Chicago but plan on visiting sometime soon, I’d bookmark it. Oh, and for me, I liked the Chicago Reader’s picks more than the readers’ picks. I think it’s usually that way in best of lists.
