Super Bowl Par-tay

For the second year, my boss hosted a Super Bowl party at his house. This year his wife made it a duo Super Bowl/Birthday party for my boss. I didn't realize this, so there were a bunch of people I didn't know, but I didn't really care I was focused more on the game.

I was pleasantly surprised that the party was catered. The highlights for me was the pulled pork barbecue and the grilled beef tenderloin. The venison chili was ok, and the dumplings were sub par (Dumplings have to be pretty damn good for me to rate them high though).

They also had what I was told are "the best cupcakes you'll ever have." What were they? Fucking cupcakes. Maybe the best bought cupcakes I've ever had, but not even close to the best ever. Plus I had an Abbott and Costello routine going because I was confused:

"They're Sprinkles."
"Yeah, I can see they're sprinkles. Who makes them?"
"Sprinkles"
"No shit, I said I can see the sprinkles on there. Who makes them."
"They're called Sprinkles."
"Yeah, they have Sprinkles on them, thats what I would call them too."
"They are called Sprinkles."
"Ooooh."

I am not smart.

Goings on

Last week, two things happened to me that are fairly rare:

First, I had a Big Mac from McDonald's for the first time in 10 years? 12 years? It was still about as average as I remember it. But it did fill me up, and it served its purpose. So, "Yay?"

Secondly, for only the second time since I was 12 years old, someone besides my regular lady cut my hair. The last time was a total disaster. This time went swimmingly. I went to Sports Clips.
Besides getting my hair cut by a pretty hot girl: I spent about the same amount I usually do on a hair cut, got all of the bells and whistles on this haircut (neck and back massage, and some other stuff), it was also a hell of a lot closer. So overall a great experience I may even go back..

Dating advice from who again?

Seduction dos and don’ts - MSN Dating & Personals


Follow that link and you will get an article from Carmen Electra on "dating do's and dont's". I wonder if one of them is "Don't marry Dennis Rodman"? Considering her track record with men I wonder if I should consider her advice more or less?

Radio Line of the Week

A new one, and it really made me laugh, "Debauchery is really underrated in the world."

It is. It is.

Hmmm

An interesting article on the UK government's attempt to stop file-sharing:

and who knew Ben Stein was a member of the UK Parliament?

Good Eats

One of my problems with the great city of Frisco is that there is a dearth of decent restaurants here. Well, not only have I found a good restaurant, it is a seafood restaurant. Which is a true rarity in the landlocked DFW area.

It is the great Bay Grill.

I have been there a couple of times now, and it has been pretty awesome both times.
I've seen Manhattan Clam Chowder get a lot of bad pub over the years. I had a cup of it from Bay Grill, and I found it to be pretty tasty. Plus with all of the creams and heavy sauces in everything else, it was nice clean tomatoey taste. Also a nice change of pace from all of the New England Clam Chowder I have had.

The calamari was also excellent, nice soft rings with an excellent sauce.

As for the entrées, I can't recommend the trout almondine enough. Trout is a fish that seems to get dry pretty easily if not cooked right, and this is cooked perfectly. It has a lemon butter sauce on it, but it isn't smothered in it, so it keeps its fresh taste. You get a choice of a side with your entrée, and I've gone with creamed spinach there. This is probably the BEST creamed spinach that I have ever had. It is a great, gooey glob of spinach and cheese. I could almost make a meal out of that. You also get a small bowl of corn relish, but that I didn't like. Just not me I guess.

I have not tried any of the desserts either, but some of my friends have, and they say those are delicious as well.

Paired with an attentive and personable waitstaff, if you find yourself in Frisco, TX you could do much, much worse that Bay Grill

Dreaming again

So, I had another dream that I remembered again, and the only reason I mention it, is because David Bowie makes another appearance. Last time I had one of his songs playing throughout the entire dream. This time...well:

A friend and I are going to watch a Dallas Stars hockey game. We get to our seats, and begin watching the game. Who would show up to the seats next to mine? David Bowie and a friend of his. And it just isn't David Bowie, he is in his "Ziggy Stardust" getup. And so is his friend. He has his toddler son there as well, but he isn't dressed up.

The funny thing is, is that men and Bowie talked a bunch during the game, and it was just general hockey talk. Nothing about his music, why he was dressed the way he was, anything else really. We only talked hockey, and the game going on.
