.........On Wednesday. Should be a fun trip. I like CHicago and I am excited to see Steph's blanket in the show. Also we got dining table finally. The Gnome loft is starting to take shape. It's tough because neither of us think of ourselves as having any kind of interior design skills as evidenced by the mini couch thing we got for our bedroom and it's sole purpose being a bed for the dogs. Sure it takes up a liitle bit of space, but hey they seem to like it thus far. ............ This just came to me, and I don't know why I'm entertaining this idea, but I'm thinking I'll start a new blog, called the Gnome Loft, and I'll take a bunch of pics of our place and we'll let rando peeps give suggestions about what would look good in our place. I dunno, I'm insane, I have all of the following on tap to work on:
a. Chef on Occasion
b. Spice Odyessy
c. D-I-Guy
d. Fondu Victory
e. Radio Show
f. Music.

Bro-deo
Why does the Marina have to be so like it is sometimes? I have no objections to "bro's" and their ilk having the freedom to wear all the striped shirts and boot cut jeans they want, it's their lives. However I must object to the offerings of Saturday night. Steph's friend was in town from L.A. and we went to pay her a visit, at the Mrs. Doubtfire house no less, but that's another story. Actually it's not really a story at all just a matter of fact. Anyway we went to the the Blue Light, and after a few rounds of drinks we were leaving in an orderly fashion. All of a sudden a brotastic dude comes walking through and purposely pushes into one of our entourage. There was no reason to do so other than to basically pee on some peeps and show everyone how "totally ripped" he was. Ugh!!!! ANyway, what a dick! Excuse me is an appropriate courtesy to extend in these instances, a common sense of decorum would dictate as such.

New Dog
We got BiBi a new little friend. She's a dachshund and pincher mix. Her name for now is Bunny, but I'm no really into it. That will need to change. She's very cute and all that, but I seriously was on the proverbial fence about it. I honestly didn't have an opinion about it either way. However, Steph's comment "why the fuck not?" seemed pretty much to hit the nail on the head. So, a little dabbling with the fates, and here she is. Um, she doesn't seem to care for BiBi's playful advances at this point. This must change if we are all to get along. Anyway, pics to come.

From the forthcoming Blog
Spice Oddessy: Exploring the burning tounges of Saturn.
There are four stages, if you will, in the Spice Oddessy. These four stages represent haow many Scoville Units will either send a person to the Spice Moon and beyond or will have them burning up upon re-entry.
1. Spice Camper: Unflinching in their resolve to never leave the safe gravity of ultra-mildom. Should a fleck of of Cayanne pass the frontier that are their mouthes it could set off a wild fire that can only be quenched by loud complaining and derision of those who put forth this ungodly heat.
2. Spice Cadet: Ever the adventurer in their own minds. Spice Cadets although ill-equipped to handle the rigors of Spice Travel they will venture with you to the moons of Thai-Food. You'll make certain to ask for robo-mild curry, but it most certainly will still be beyond thier levels of Spicy-G Force tolerance but god how they try. They will seldom leave orbit and will always attempt to find a spice helmet that fits. The SPice Cadets spirit is to be commended.
3. Spice Invader: A spice invader will pillage and plunder the Spice universe at will. Their reckless sense of adventure often gets them in over their heads. A spice invader may for instance, insist on venturing too close to a habenero black hole from which there can be no return. You will find them in zero gravity restrooms blowing out o-rings.
4. The Overlords, Masters of Spice and Thyme: These creatures are not of this universe. They have Spice Madness and will stop at nothing to doiminate and conquer all things spicy. They have completely oblitereated their pallete. Curiously, they do not flock together, no they are far too competitive. If two Spice Overlords should occupy the same space a great Spice battle will ensue until there is noting but charred wrekage and a single true Overlord. You will notice them by the sweat streaming from seemingly endless pores, and yet they will insist that they are just fine.

Chicago...ing
So we're off in June to see Steph's blanket in Chicago. Airfare is fucking retarded right now. It was really difficult finding a good price that fits in with our plans, but we managed. Seriously though who comes back on a Saturday afternoon? I guess peeps that want to save like $200. Namely us. Now we just have to figure out where to stay in Chicago. Steph has a client who can possibly get us a good deal. We'll see. Steph and I were saying that if the good deal is even something like $600 off an $800 room, well that's still not a good deal for us. We'll figure it.
Also, I hate to think it but my new Chef partner is mildly flakey. We're supposed to meet up later but we'll see.

Oy Vey!
On saturday I spent the better part of my early afternoon getting some work done on my arm, thanks holly. It's a funny thing to hear "wow on your skin taht color just looks awesome!" and then it's funny to show Steph and she says "Man, that color your skin looks good, it's not fair!"
Anyway, I digress, as I had to fit my newly tattooed arm into a dress shirt because we went to her Boss' kids Bar Mitzfah. I alos wore a sweater, which lately was a really crazy idea since it's been blazing hot, but I needed to cover up the big blue bandage showing through my white shirt. Anyway the weather cooperated with my sweater. It was fine. Also, I have never been to a Bar Mitzfah before, and I'm told this was not your typical affair. It was quite lavish indeed. There was a giant tent, with a sunken dance floor and a stage, concert lighting and sound, a fully stocked bar with top shelf liquor as well as nice margaritas and delicious chateau neauf de pape(sp, because I'm too lazy to google it right now). The food was tasty, consisting of different buffet stations with things like sushi, lamb chops, ribs, pizza and pasta. Keep in mind this is essentially a kids function, but they made it fit for fancy palates. The best part was the boy band with cheerleaders for back up dancers. One of the male back up dancers weaved his way through the masses and attemptd to hand me a glow stick, which I declined, and his response was to pop and lock away from me. WOW!!!!! Also we heard a rumor that the bar mitzfah boy gets a BJ. What? I feel like I want a Bar Mitzfah. Sheesh!
