September 2010 – Wyszdom

As part of my Saturday ritual, I go to Quiznos, pick up an Italian hoagie, bag of Cheetos, and a bottle of lemonade and bring it back to my apartment, and eat it while I watch one of those cooking shows which features Gordon Ramsay yelling at people. I eat the hoagie first, so by the time I’m into the bag of Cheetos, my TV is usually showing a segment where there’s some competitive cooking going on. And so every Saturday, I have these two simultaneous thoughts:

I can’t believe he’s using frozen pasta! (or similar)
These Cheetos are delicious.

Oh, and after a long hiatus, I have two new cooking shows in post-production. I’ll be releasing them as soon as I get around to doing that.

Before my trip to Ireland (yes, I went to Ireland… blog post coming soonish), I mentioned my trip in a meeting. Of course it only took a few seconds for someone to mention how green the country is. That prompted this paraphrased portion of a conversation:

Coworker: I was in Pennsylvania recently. It’s also very green.
I think to myself: “Thanks for noticing!”

Coworker: (continued) And there are trees everywhere.
I think to myself: “Yes, it’s awesome!”

Coworker: It’s almost claustrophobic.

I still don’t know how to react to that, so I’ll just end this post with some photos from my most recent trip to the claustrophobic commonwealth.
