Quarter Past Wonderful

The music's pretty awesome too. Check Oren Lavie out on his MySpace. I'm developing a bit of a crush.

123 People

In a very roundabout way I found this site... 123 People, which is cool, but definitely a little creepy.

It started with a post-it. Or a very cute post-it video.



Thinking it was cute, I forwarded it to my boss. Her reply: "Yes it is cute, think you can track down the contact info for the guys who created it?"

In my google-quest I discovered that the guys who made it Si&Ad or Simon Atkinson and Adam Townley are actually quite amazing directors. I'm certainly a fan. You should check out their other commercials & music videos, I especially like the McFly one. Tho I am weirdly a McFly groupie, having been dragged to Just My Luck by my grandmother...

Anyway, one of the websites I stumbled across was 123People. You know when your parents tell you to be careful what you put on the internet? This website is one of the reasons why. Google I'm feeling lucky has nothing on these guys. Email addresses, phone numbers, pictures, links to news articles. Creepy.

Or educational? I definitely found out some things I never knew about myself. For one (and not to be completely roundabout) my favorite writer Heather McElhatton wrote up a very nice review of my blog, blogging about her book!

Author's note: This blog came out two weeks BEFORE the book was in stores! What a nice blog to break your blogging-cherry with! Thank You Nicole! I went and checked out the site and it is hysterical. Among hot trends and funny musings, the girl has a killer recipe for BACON CINNAMON ROLLS. Check it out!

Also I have a NY Times Filmography page? Empty yes, but still cool. It hopefully won't stay that way forever.

And perhaps my favorite part is the Tag Cloud. I highly enjoy that "Gay Man" and "Bar Patron" are both in my tag cloud.

So in conclusion, if you're feeling a little stalkerish today, check out 123 People and see what dirt you can dig up on your loved ones. That and it's a quiet reminder that maybe you should figure out how to delete your friendster page from like 1999.

New Slang: Burgs

Burgs: That bar was great! Hot boys, cold beer, and great burgs! or Let's hit up Father's office and grab some burgs.

~ Thanks A for my new word of the day. Gotta love the abbrevs.

Oh we love you Martha!

I want to make these too!!

The OC Super Fair

First of all... I am a huge proponent of County Fairs, as they promote the understanding of agriculture and it's effects on our environment and health at large. That and my dad's department is in charge of the LA County Fair.

With that in mind 75% of the things that happen at the OC Super Fair have very little to do with environmental education...

The Food
Pretty much everything that's consumed at County Fairs are things you could easily find on This is why you're fat. Here are some highlights.

Corn on the Cob
Amazing. Simply one word. My favorite thing at the County Fair.

Chocolate Covered Bacon
At $5 I could easily make this at home. So alas we did not try, but for anyone not crafty enough (or adventurous enough) you can buy this delectable delight at the county fair.

The Zucchini Weenie
A zucchini that's been hollowed out, hot dog inserted, dipped in batter and been deep fried. Plus I just love the name!

Deep Fried White Castle Burger
Because you can get almost anything deep fried at a county fair.

Giant Turkey Legs
Always a fan favorite, as big as your head I'm impressed P actually finished hers.

The Animals
Everything from little lapins to gigantic elephants (which aren't really found on farms) you can see at the fair. Interestingly enough, this year there weren't cages built around the cows which was slightly alarming as you walked through the midst of them knowing that easily one wrong move could take you out with a swift cow kick. I guess it's more horses that do that kind of thing, but still...

Alaskan Pig Races
Yes, you read that right. And the best part? It's sponsored by good o'le Ralphs, so after you watch the adorable mini Babes race around the track, you can get coupons for free bacon to complete your experience.

The Exhibits
By "exhibits" they mean shopping! That's right, you can find everything you ever wanted from a late night infomercial (including the Sham Wow Man) at the County Fair. They even do pretty impressive knife demonstrations.

The Rides
I won't even go into these. But picture every "high school fair" especially the one at the end of Grease and all those rides and games and you can find them here. Sing a little "You're the one that I want" while going through a fun house, or ride the huge ferris wheel, but just make sure to part-take BEFORE hitting the food booths.

And finally

The Wine Garden
Perhaps the best part, they sample all of their favorite wines in a fun and enlightening environment. Granted it is a little pricey, after a few glasses you won't care anymore.

There's just so much greatness out there...

Here's a few gems from the past week.

I fear the bacon may be retired for a bit...

After trying the Bacon Chocolate Cupcakes, Bacon Cinnamon Rolls, & Bacon Vodka, it's time to move on to another one of my favorite meats. Pulled Pork!

Yes you heard me right... next thing on my list? The Pulled Pork, Cornbread Cupcake!
