PT da cook

Well, I was pretty stoked about writing a REAL ACTUAL BLOG (zomgzomgzomg) Friday that I'm writing another one (wheeeeeeeee). But, I don't really have much time to do up a content-heavy one.

I played some pokah last night with my buddy Cha, MikeMcQ, and Onnyn at a home game in Blaine. Cha was the host and he has a retarded super awesome beer fridge. BEHOLD SUCKAZ:

So that was a lot of fun and I even won a v small bit of money. Still, it's always nice to shipawin!

Ok, then yesterday I made white chocolate almond bark with my super-fine gf. It called for double-boiling but we don't have a double-boiler or w/e so one of us held a smaller pot over a bigger pot with boiling water while the other stirred the white chocolate. I really haven't cooked basically at all in the last few years. The main reason is I don't like cooking alone, or just for myself. I really enjoy cooking with someone, however, and it's so fun to be making delicious meals again! So far I've helped make blueberry wheat pancakes, couscous+feta stuffed peppers, and this delicious treat!


Up this week I will make delicious home-made pizzas as well as some sweet cupin' cakes! (well ok, cupcakes, sweet cupin' cakes may be something different, I dno)

I'm going to play some poker tomorrow but with no strings attached. I am a bit apprehensive that it will stress me out and I won't want to continue. So I'll start of slow and ramp it up when I'm feelin' the challenge and competitive juices flowin'.

Hrrrm, ok, that's it for now. This blog stuff really isn't coming to yet like it did last year.

Now coming to you from Minnesota!

Ok, ok, you must all know that I was planning to move to Minnesota. Well, I finally did! Wooooo!

I've been here a week after a SHIPalicious 4 day drive with my pops last week. It was his idea and the highlight of his year so far I'm sure, ;). The drive was fun and leisurely (as much as driving 500 miles a day can be) yet it wasn't until mile, OH, 1950 (out of a possible 2000) that he started asking me stuff like "so what kind of career do you want," "what are your life dreams and goals," and other such nonsense. Next time we do a 2k drive I'm going to suggest that we write-up like 5-10 questions before the trip and discuss them for hours and hours and . . . or I could just listen to Harry Potter like I did this trip, lol.

Speaking of awesome somewhat-children's stories. My main midget, the Big Seany K, Uncle Kilroy himself, has started and successfully out-blogged me in 2008 thus far. Seein' him pwn and prosper and shoot vultures from his back porch has inspired me to get back to teh blogasaurus rex.

So, right, I'm here in MN with my awesome lil' cute, sexy, smart, funny, 'whelming, gf. But, a few things are missing:

1) a job. yes, prolly time to "get a job young sir"
2) 75% of mah stuffs -- most notably my legendary Q-sized bed and mesmerizing plasma tv
3) all the homiez I made in the OC - <3 all over

Well, today I got something from the unemployment ppl saying my application (which I filled out a week after I stopped working, doh!) was approved. Wheeee! FREE MONIEZ GOGOGO BANANA! So that helps with #1. Furthermore, I really want to find my inner purpose, with or without a new job. I was making tons of progress early last year abut kinda got off track when I jumped on my pwnasaur sometime after my Europe trip.

I have to admit I'm kind of waiting for the rest of my things, which will be a big project and also help me feel like I really do (pinch pinch) live here back in MN now. Oh, but I've been exercising and belong to Bally's here. So that has kept me grounded and gotten me out of the house every day.

Hrrmmm, I am completely rambling but it's my blog and I have 234234234 months of rambly rambleson to get rid of.

Oh yah, since I've spent much of the last few months in a v transitional mindset, I stopped making short-term and long-term goals. I will lay some of them out (and/or come up with some) via this blog.

I just read "The Intergral Vision" by Ken Wilber which is all about AQAL and IOS and your mom, my mom, elephants, and the Universe. Something about it seemed kinda forced but I can't explain why yet. I'll write about that later.

Btw, I'm bolding all future blog ideas to help stay on track and actually keep posting. Oh and so my blog is interactive, here is a poll:

Should PT Smooth:
a) get an AE job in advertising
b) lock-in to poker for 6 hours/day
c) seriously consider going back to the academic world
d) take a bunch of 'shroom laden along Minnehaha Parkway and swims in Diamond Lake
e) oh wait, no one is going to read this entry b/c I haven't blogged in 234235235 times
