I'm Back!

So after over two weeks of vacation, I'm finally back to work and settled in at my new home in Hawaii. But enough about me, let's get to some brogging (that's Chinese for Blogging). So let me jump right back into it... for the good news: Proof that G-d exists. Prepackaged Lasagna sandwiches, could anybody ever ask for more? I love how the basis of comparison for how terrible awesome this sandwich is, is that it rivals even the most fatty American treats... I'm glad we're the standard for deadly food (here is where I insert a plug for my favorite food-porn website: TIWYF). Speaking of deadly yet awesome food, Hawaii has a local delicacy called the Loco-Moco that I have yet to try, but I greatly anticipate eating one. It's a hamburger patty served on rice, topped with eggs over easy and gravy.

Loco Moco-y goodness.

The future is here: Invisible mouse for computers. I welcome all sorts of computer-sciency progress, but I wonder if this invention will do anything to cure what I have dubbed the "Cold Hand Phenomenon." What is the CHP, you might ask? Well, normally, when gaming, surfing the web, or beating off to some insane fetish porn, one hand is often on the mouse and the other is often on the keyboard (when not on the nards). In the winter or in an overly air-conditioned room (save energy for Gaia!), one of your hands gets cold, and it's always the one on the mouse. Nobody knows why it's colder (somebody probably does), but it is, and it's annoying and unavoidable. I could go into more graphic detail about the cold hand, but I'll spare you all for now (Hint: the cold hand is the one that doesn't need to be washed after a quick viewing of 2girls1cup). I guess I didn't spare you, sucka!

Well, as I just proved, the future is coming sorta (it'll really be here when the cold-hand gets fixed), but are we sure that's such a good thing? The future is scary, what with global warming, the depletion of the O-Zone layer, the creation of super-bacteria, the population explosion, Iran with nukes, Kanye West doing something funny on live TV... the past just seems so much safer. To which I refer you to one of the best articles I've read in a while that really puts it in perspective, with a hat tip to the Dad. Via the HuffPo, Matt Ridley tells us to go Down with the Doom. We survived lots of shit before, and we'll certainly survive one Barack Obama presidency, so quit freaking out, racists (we survived Carter, right?).

Newsflash (to those who haven't been thinking critically for the past 50 years): Sorry Asians, you're not the right type of minority, and you don't count towards diversity. Nothing new to see here, just making sure you know that affirmative action works against you, good luck on your SATs. My advice to you is to learn how to do something unique (not unicycling, that's just gay) but useful, like inventing a tree made from money.

During my leave time, I had some great conversations about the most 'Mrrrkin guy in the world, who ironically was born in Ireland... yes, you already know who I'm speaking of: Liam Neeson aka Schindler, aka Taken aka Qui Gon Jin aka Aslan aka Ras Al-Ghul. His greatness needs no explanation; I once proclaimed that having sex with Liam Neeson isn't gay, THAT's how great he is. Taken was an awesome movie about beating up, torturing and maybe killing Arabs, Albanians, and the French all in the name of protecting your daughter's delicate, untouched flower. With a premise like that, you can't go wrong, right? Well the instaprophet linked to an old post about Taken today called "Taken: The World's Oldest Profession is Father." The article is pretty "meh" but the title reminded me of that episode of How I Met Your Mother when Barney posits that prostitution is the oldest profession. I figured, any link that can give me an excuse to talk about how much I love Taken and at the same time provide an opportunity to link that scene from HIMYM is a link worth linking to.

Lawyered! Well that'll do it for me today, but I'm back for good until further notice, so I hope you all come back to reading what I write and hopefully you enjoy it too (but if you don't, read it anyway because I like the traffic).

Loco Mocos are amazing; the wife still makes them for me sometimes. I think they're best served in a bowl to make sure the rice, meat, egg, and gravy all get mixed up well together. Beef's okay, Spam's actually not bad, but corned beef hash is far and away the best (scientifically proven).

Also try Spam musubi when you get a chance.

PS: Wife reminds me that the best sources of Loco Moco are going to be little local diner-like places. Our favorite was a place in Hilo that had many pictures of The Rock on the wall...I figure you're probably on Oahu, but see what local places you can find, and explore until you find who has the best Loco.
