(bun) monday night, again



Obamanos! i pass this mural every day on my way to work. and thats my little sis. Bee says he dreamed that someone painted a mask on him. but truth be told, no one has touched this mural the whole time its been there, and in a city like this, i find that incredibly hard to believe. i wish i had had the chance to get one of the original shepherd fairey prints but now they're like 800 bucks, so whatever. we already have a couple of his prints that have yet to be framed, so i guess first things first.

just wanted to pop in and say that this was the first election that i've voted in (i know, i'm such a slacker of a citizen!). and seriously, mood: patriotic. and tomorrow while i'm listening to the inauguration live, i'm thinking mood: *misty eyed*

(bee) retiremint


My friend just got a car with a tape player and i relized its hard to find tapes. I almost forgot how to ff and push both , flip move. the tape selection is dwindling my friends...we actually had almost a full converstaion in the car between ffing the tape to see what the next song would be. All film is going digital, obama,s president shot was the first digital. So i found a floppy disk looking for a tape for my friend, but i have no flopy disk drives! what secret treasures do you have locked on you little disk... :( We use to wait for the movie to please rewind while we made pop corn. now we watch tv. and type blogs while ffing the dvr..Good bye my anolog friends...

(bun) monday night

so aside from my obsession with delicious food like hot dogs, i'm also addicted to DesignSponge. one of these days i'm going to do a killer Before & After and get my own post on there. also slightly obsessed with my kitty cat:

thats him in the spotlight when the power was out during hurricane ike. it was hotter than hell in our little apartment and the wind was still howling like mad, but the cat was chill as ever. like he was on vacay. like he was saying, see yall, its not that great being stuck in this matchbox of a house all hours of the day. indeed, Mr. Bo, indeed. which is why you're now allowed on the balcony whenever Bee goes out for a smokey.

Spelling Bees...

If referred here start at #1

Oh,K,.. so weve tryed every other profile of the wide world of webs: Myspace, Facebook, handfull of email accounts, old Icq, jott, twitter(still havn't actually visited the site to figure it out, but have an account), random viral sites, DIGG (my personal fav.), Ted, who knows...So its time to start a blogger account. Yes i will try and entertian you threw my typing skills wich are not as good as my nunchucking skills, but hopfully better than my myspace skills or digg story submitting skils. So i'm assumeing that your first blog should be about laying down the ground rules. wich brings me to the title.

#1.....SPELLING,


I suck at spelling and i do not care!. No you are not smarter than me because you have perfect grammer double and triple and quaddroople spell check,, every .T and fucking prefix, if you have a comment, debate, or ""clever" comment about the content of the story please i'd love to hear it,(some one actually read my Blog!!! :0 .),,but this is not tenth grade english class and you are not my teacher when it comes to how to express myself,, this is not the next great american novel. But just in case i hit the internet lottery and more than my friends pretending to read it, read it, i had to rite this as the first.., to refer every asshole that is mind fucked by a misspelled word or a run on sentence.(Breath) ok i understand some people prob. have a pet peev with bad spelling and punctuation. Sorry, I'm lazy and find it more important to say somthing rather than to nit pik how some one else says it. I see the spell check button and i say ,BORING. Every time i leave a comment on digg or any other site, some sorry fuck thinks its great to be the spelling nazi. How cleaver you are!!...u clearly win this lame internet debate.

H to the O to the T

in response to a celebrity's New Years diet that consists of LOTS of water and cabbage soup, basically, i'd like to share a bit about a staple in my diet. maybe overshare. while everyone else was eating bbq and burgers when i was growing up, i just had to have a HOT DOG. and it just reeeeally stuck. so much so that there are now five things i judge when having one and rank them all accordingly. for instance...

1. the dog skin. sidenote, already: people rave about Nathan's famous hot dogs, and granted, i've only had one in the NY, NY hotel in Las Vegas, but i'd like to think a place like Nathan's would pride themselves on consistency. regardless, a hot dog's skin should NOT remind me of trying to bite through a meat-flavored balloon.

2. the dog itself. beef or turkey, i kinda like them all. but i hate when they're so hot that when you bite into them, scalding hot hot dog juice squirts everywhere. thats not cute. i also hate sausage disguised or billed as a hot dog. ew. dont even get me started with corn dogs.

3. the bun. i'm always up for a deal like the 50 cent hot dogs at Ikea. but no so crazy about the day-old buns they come on that just crumble away as you eat. LAME.

4. bun to dog ratio. this is vital!! ballpark dogs and movie dogs are usually too much dog, not enough bun. JCI is the opposite. Sonic comes close. i could go on, but maybe thats for another post.

5. accompaniments. i have this thing with textures. soft on soft would be like eating pancakes with scrambled eggs. thats kinda gross to me. with hot dogs, fritos work best; fries, not so much. i also take my dogs PLAIN and DRY. most things, really. i think there's a certain integrity to be met when eating just the meat and bread. i've tried the cheese-injected ones before. quite possibly the worst. idea. ever.

and so, IMHO, the best hot dog i've ever had in my life was at Cedar Door in Austin (2nd and San Jacinto, i believe). perfect ratio, bun ever so slightly toasted and buttered, and with a mexican martini on the side, it was just *heaven*

he-roh

first post. a little intro. the Bee and i (the Bun) met, fell in love and live in houston. as our hometown, there's that whole love/hate thing, but i'm still a fan of the HIWI movement. so yes, its a couples' blog, but no, we will not be doing any shared posts. well, maybe once in a blue moon. we're quite the Opposites. he's a scorpio, i am a taurus. look it up, we're both perfect and terrible for each other. we share the important stuff tho. i'm in the architecture field, but we both had our start at an art consulting firm. we have more art than wall space at the moment, AND I LOVE IT.

so we started this relationship three and a half years ago. however, i came with some baggage. he's all white with blue eyes, a constant 10 pounds, and my landlord refuses to come into our apt unless That Naughty Kitty is behind closed doors where he wont attack. his name is Bo, and i've had him since i turned 21. pretty sure he'll make an appearance on here too.

btw, our profile pic is from Halloween 08. we adore Halloween. Bee went as Michael Jackson from Thriller and i went as one of his zombies. classic.
