Mobile Post

Yup I am back playing tap defense on my iPod. The silver spoon setting makes everything so much fun. I remember days past that had zero options and of course I was terrible. Look at all those politicians.

Paint it Black

What's that story about painting the metal picc black & calling it wood?

De-Lish Pizza

My White Pizza Recipe:
1 8" Whole Wheat Boboli Pizza Crust
Light Mayo
Grated Parmesan Cheese
Shredded Chedder Cheese
Ricotta Cheese
Mushrooms
Onions
Hot Peppers
Bacon Bits

I preheat my toaster oven to 450 degrees.
Then I spread a thin layer of mayo on the pizza crust.
I sprinkle the parmesan, mushrooms, onions, peppers, bacon, and whatever else is around and then add a little more parm.
Finally I add some cheddar and top the pizza with some ricotta.
The oven should be hot by now, so I toss it on the rack and wait until I smell it. Maybe 10 minutes? I don't know. I just know it's finished with I smell the cheese melting.

The prep time is about 10 minutes, so it's a quick meal.

Coffee at my neighborhood DD.

Flight of the Conchords DVD wrapping. This is now in my practice room. It's very motivational.

Movie trailors in front of our building.

More movie trailors.

The light fixtures in the lobby of the new music building at UDel. This was taken just looking up. Very cool.

So THAT'S Where I Can Buy VESTS!

Went on a road trip and ended up at Blair factory outlet store looking for coats in Delaware. Actually I was just tagging along. I was astounded at the amount of vests with "things" on them. So this is where a certain type of "woman" does her shopping. You know, she has cats, is sweet as cherry pie, and probably a bit psycho as well. Many things were answered that day about type of shopping/personal style dynamics. Wow. Actually, my grandmother would be very comfortable wearing stuff like this. All I could find was a robe, but it was a great long robe. perfect for winter. Hey, Delaware is TAX FREEE!

My Sea Monkeys (The Start) and Pets That Are Not Mine!

Bought some sea monkeys and they hatched in their funky little metro! Um, just wanted to say that after being away for 4 days, I am left with 1 monkey. Booo. What happened???? Update: they died! Super boooo.







My sister and her boyfriend have a large family of pets. I didn't take photos of the 3 ferrets, but here are the others.

This is OJ the fish. He's large. He won't eat while you look at him. He freaks out.



This is Petey the turtle. He lives in a "tabletop" aquarium. He will follow you around begging for food. I guess that's strange because I've never seen a turtle beg for anything. He has personality...or so they say.

Finally this is Ella, the newest member of their family. She is a 7 week old English bulldog. Very cute.

Passive Aggressive Me

This woman is talking too loud and too long. Her voice is very high and child-like, but I guess she can't help it. Actually, Dr. Drew would ask if she was molested as a child. Do you guys remember that stuff on "Love Line?" I do. Some woman would always come on with some problem and if she had a high voice, he would ask if she had some past issue of abuse. 99% of the time they said yes.

Interesting. Anyway, I think she may have noticed that I snapped a picture and settled down.

Etiquette people, etiquette. And I am quite passive aggressive. Have I had the "ear spray" conversation yet? Where's my tape recorder.

Just Another Train Ride

As you know I ride NJ Transit a lot. Not as much as those who go back and forth for work, but I do have a somewhat regular schedule. Here I am riding the train back to NY listening to Studio 360 on my iPod. What would I do without it. My favorite podcasts are This American Life, Good Food, Splendid Table, and Wait Wait Don't Tell Me since I can leave them on and usually get to my destination by the time the show is over. HOWEVER, I am a fan of David Musto's podcast, La Dolce Musto. Short and sweet.

Unfortunately I had to turn the volume way up when that annoying woman came and started talking on her cell. In aggravation I played Cubis 2 until I felt bad that my click wheel was making too much noise. I love Cubis. I used to be into Vortex, which is what I switched to when I started feeling guilty, but if I had a choice, I'm all about those little colorful blocks.

Lego, Cupcakes, Catholics, and Goldfish

A snapshot of Lego Star Wars II...they are in disguise. Funny, right? Yes, I am STILL playing it. Slowly but surely I will finish it.

I had a birthday. Good god. My mom asked what type of cake and I went for cupcakes. It was a good choice!

A Catholic? procession on 51st between 8th and 10th on October 14th around 8pm. Lots of guys hauling this down the street with a full brass band. I watched for awhile and thought it quite interesting.
