I don’t game. I’m no good at it. I die a lot and swear like a sailor as I go down in flames. But I like looking at the world of gaming from afar. I’m totally into gamecakes and Heroine Sheik and now Sexy Videogameland which has a post about the theme bento community at LiveJournal, including a game character theme. My favorite kicking ass bird of all time, Chocobo, is posted there in bento box form:

Today I am sporting my LURKER t-shirt underneath my Williamsburg t-shirt. Talk about a mixed message. And a klass akt. Who decided to promote me to the senior level of my position? I’m such a bum… I even have holes in my socks (but not a beard, and my pinkie toe is cuter :P ).

Would you like to eat a beer-battered bacon double cheeseburger?

So that Crys will continue to grace me with her presence I have changed how comments work on my blog. There is no longer an intermediary screen between clicking on comments and actually getting to post a comment. Please inform me via e m a l i :) if it’s broken. Works for me.

Slashfood reports:

The third season of Bravo’s Top Chef is slated to begin on June 13th, this round to be held in Miami, Florida. Chef Tom Colicchio will be returning as head judge, as will host Padma Lakashmi and judge Gail Simmons. The panel will be rounded out with the addition of Ted Allen – of Bravo’s Queer Eye for the Straight Guy fame.

In case that just isn’t enough culinary madness for you, Bravo will also be broadcasting an “all-star grudge match” between four Season 1 contestants (Harold Dieterle, Stephen Asprinio, Tiffani Faison, and Dave Martin) and four Season 2 contestants (Ilan Hall, Sam Talbot, Elia Aboumrad, and Marcel Vigneron ) to be aired on June 6th, culminating with the teams serving their meals to the new chefs of Season 3.

*Sometimes I think I’m being obvious but others don’t catch on, so I’ll deconstruct: chef + bitches = chitches. Chit is also what my grandmother says instead of shit, so that makes it even funnier for me.

Gone are the days of the 99 cent song. Now get DRM-free iTunes for just $1.29 per song. Yah. Huh. No. Granted, the songs are “256 kbps AAC encoding for audio quality virtually indistinguishable from the original recordings”, but I can get DRM-free songs from Russia that sound just fine for 2 cents a song, so why mark up my songs 30 more cents and push me to that market?

Why is it that I’ll lie in bed wondering what time it is because it must be time to get up already even though the alarm didn’t go off and instead of just looking at the clock I’ll toss and turn and wish I was asleep and think about work and think about unresolved life issues and think about what I might want to have for dinner three days from next Monday and when I can’t stand it anymore I’ll look at the clock and see my alarm is going off in 7 minutes and then I’ll shut my eyes really tight and fall back asleep and then the alarm wakes me up and I’m grumpy and won’t get out of bed for 20 minutes?

I posted this on CheezyCatz but I love it so much that I need to post it here too. So:
