Jurassic Park on Pandora

So I decided to take a small adventure away from my normal Pandora stations that I listen to at work and try something a bit different. Movie soundtracks. What movie should I base this station on? Well, I wasn't really sure what Pandora was going to give me, but I put in Jurassic Park.

My favourite movie from 1993, with a lively score by John Williams.

The station has taken me on an journey back through the 1990s and early 2000s, revisting such great soundtracks as Back to the Future, Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings. A few strange ones came in, like Harry Potter, but luckly there is the dislike button. Not that it's a bad track, but not what I want on my selection of movie scores.

Unfortunately, it did take almost 2 hours before I heard Jurassic Park at all. Thanks for making me wait, Pandora.

I want to go home and rewatch that and the second one. The second one was great, as far as sequals go.

Okay, I ran out of things to say.

Y R U no post?

So I haven't been posting for a while. I'm going to try to get better with this.

You may see some craziness going on, like new gadgets, text fonts that are out of wack, or random pictures popping up.

i.e:

Nativity in meat form.

I'm still trying to play around here in this blog, and have a more structured, fluid one for my races and training. Pretty much, this one may have more excitement :)

I still have things to figure out, like what the fuck is a 'jump break' that I can insert? How do I make tabs like in other blogs? What are labels? I'll just figure them out here.

If you have a cool idea to have in one of my blogs, let me know. Or don't.

Eat it.

Metro

It's hot as balls on the metro during the summer, even when there aren't brigades of mouth-breathers on the train.

Oh, and just for Dan: fuck shit ass hell damn cunt bastard dick taint bitch arse head in hole.

There. Open season.

Fiber bread

Not a great idea to consume two sandwiches at 5g fiber per slice. Makes for an interesting afternoon at work...

Word of the Day: Hashtags

It may be because I don't use them, but seeing these random #s show up all the time in blogs, facebook, or other media sources is kind of annoying. Like peanut butter on the roof of your mouth. It's there. Can't get it off for a while. But once you finally get it off, you take another bite (or go back to the same site) and it's there again. Fuck.

It's mostly annoying when people tag multiple things in the same sentence. Seriously. Make a clicky for your friends. If you want some random dood coming across your tweet when he searches for #OmgzThisBovineIsCute, you better have something to say about it. Otherwise, udder disappointment.

If any of you use hashtags, a bear will maul your aunt.

PeasantMan 2011 - Bike course 20K

PeasantMan 2011 - Bike course 20K on Garmin Connect- Details

I'm mostly posting this as a test, in case I feel like sharing the course information from one of my recent races. I did this one this past Sunday. This is, however, only the bike portion of the PeasantMan training triathlon. More on this later.

Thank you to my two readers for bearing with me as I get these things sorted out.

I'm sharing this from my Garmin Connect account, which I use to analyse my data from my races using my Garmin Forerunner 310XT. Maybe I should have a clicky to show what that looks like? Hm, dunno. I'll figure that out later when I need something else to do during billable hours.

Mint

I consumed a large amount if this today. Mostly in the form of mint juleps. While donning my seersucker suit and bowtie, I took down a number of these with a handful of other southern foods for the Derby.

Here's a recipe:

4 fresh mint sprigs
2 1/2 oz bourbon whiskey
1 tsp powdered sugar
2 tsp water

Muddle mint leaves, powdered sugar, and water in a collins glass. Fill the glass with shaved or crushed ice and add bourbon. Top with more ice and garnish with a mint sprig. Serve with a straw.

Pair this with bowties and big hats and you'll have a beautiul spring day at the horse races. Enjoy responsibly!
