The Analog Grownup

I'm gathering a bunch of friends to go see it next week

You know those days when you make that perfect meal? Well, yesterday was one of them. Fresh pasta with homemade tomato sauce and meatballs. The tomato sauce was made with canned and puréed tomatoes (couldn't get fresh ones with good enough quality), with basil and thyme from my little herb garden. Some garlic, chopped onions, bay leaves, salt and pepper. The meatballs was minced meat mashed together with one egg, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and graded parmesan cheese. Thank God I have leftovers for days :D

I love tomatoes as long as it's not raw. There's something about raw tomatoes that makes my stomach spin, but fresh chopped tomatoes in a homemade sauce or soup is wonderful. The taste and the sweetness comes out. Homemade salsa is also great. I really can't stand raw tomatoes of any kind. When I was a kid I ate cherry tomatoes like candy, but that changed as my tastebuds developed.

Curdled milk (some thick kind of yoghurt. Am not sure about Google Translate on this one) with sprinkles. The sprinkle is made from leftover rye bread mixed with brown sugar and some cinnamon. Bake it in the oven and put it in a blender afterwards. Healthy and nourishing. Next time I have leftover rye bread I'll make porridge of it with white bear and whipped cream on top. Yummy!

You look a little like the drummer Chad Wackerman. http://cdn-x.drummerworld.com/pics/drumpics2/chadwackerman.jpg My jaw is not quite as small, but I see some similarities. They end pretty quickly when you look at the hair

Drivers looking for the traffic the wrong way before they pull out at an intersection, and then forgetting to look for traffic where it's closest. Today's mainstream pop music. Tomato in a burger. Europe's defaitist way of upholding its borders. Feminism. Algebra. Anything requiring high intellectual power.

In Canada refugees is worth more than its own citizens. Say you're a refugee and all the SJWs will fall on each other trying to help you.

I will watch it too. As a WWII history nerd I have no choice, and I like that it's a story that has been somewhat forgotten.

The story is tremendously captivating and works on so many levels. This movie is very good, however, I wonder if they could have cast someone more fitting than Chris Hemsworth. Someone who doesn't look that much Hollywood.

The acoustic and electric guitars in reverb, the singer's voice, which is somewhat like a less coarse Dido, and the whole vibe.

You do look great, I have to say. :D Thank you :). I do feel great.

An honorary niece of mine, to whom I'm very close, fell for a guy a few years back. He told her that he worked for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and that he was giving it up so that he could stay in the Cincinnati area, with her and their 2-year old daughter. I met this guy once, and he seemed like a really good young man. It was all a lie. Not only did he never work for the Buccaneers, he had never even left his home in Cincinnati. He was still living with his mother. His entire life was a lie. When my niece found out, she dumped him without blinking an eye. As far as I know, he doesn't even come visit his daughter. Morgan, my niece, is so jaded. I don't think she will ever trust another man again. :( :( I think I can understand her. It would take the courage to be vulnerable again, and thus risk being hurt all over again. To me the risk is worth it. I hope she does find a man worth trusting because both you and I know they exist. How one can keep lying like that is beyond me. I of course lied when I was younger to get out of trouble, but my conscious has always been strong so I felt bad about it. Besides it's very telling when I'm being insincere. My face and body language give it away quite noticeably. I don't know if this is silly but I have this psychological litmus test I perform every day: Can I stand looking myself in the eye while in front of the mirror. I can quickly feel if I'm not aligned.

This years Tour de France is great. But when they attack Froome they better follow through and not throw it all away.

Some years ago at a party me and some others were talking with this guy, who told he just came home from Afghanistan. Soon we found out he was lying, when someone said "you've been at home the whole time, I've seen you every day". Another one, who I've actually shared an apartment with along with another friend, was caught lying too. He was caught lying fairly often, quite pathological. When he was living with some other friend this happened: His hair had been cut really bad so his friends asked what had happened. He told the hairdresser had done it, and that he had refused to pay. One of the friends went to the bathroom and found a hair trimmer and cut hair everywhere. He refused to admit he had cut his own hair. When you run into pathological liars it's kind of scary, because they're so clearly detached from reality.

Had lunch with my mom at a boat café and took her to a museum and saw the history of mankind through ancient times.

May I suggest Flickr? It's free, you can make it private, you get oodles of space and you keep the copyright.

Enjoying beer on tap and gazing contemplatively into the distance :D

If you need a new place to host pictures then I can recommend Flickr. It's free of charge, you get 1tb of space, and you can set the pictures to private. That's what I use. Works like a charm.

Dressed like a gentleman :) Why not a v-neck pullover? That way the tie comes more into its place, I think. Just a suggestion to an already proper style.

Tropic Thunder. Love it.

The part with the steamroller still makes me laugh no matter how many times I've seen it. "Shut up! We did not lose Vietnam! It was a TIE!" :rfl: Samurai Cop (Rifftrax Live) Just like the aforementioned Troll 2, one of those bad movies you have to see to believe like The Room, Manos and Birdemic. "You're tearing me apart, Lisaaa"

How about those who grab their nose shut while they sneeze? I tried that once and nearly blew my eardrums out. And then we have those who make little laser sounds when they sneeze ... peew peew peew :D

My sinuses clears out too. After a good sneeze it's like I can breathe much better.

I love sneezing. The more violent the better. Unless I have my allergies. Then I hate it. Edit: Remembered when I was younger I got the marvellous idea of putting a peppercorn up my nose. I had the sneezing of a life time
