Blog Con Queso

Having been stricken with a savage craving for Matt's El Rancho queso this afternoon, I proceeded to google it and stumbled  upon a most serendipitous discovery.  How I thought a google search would satisfy my fierce jonesing, escapes me.  I presume that in my queso craving haze I must've momentarily believed myself to be Jane Jetson - thinking a molcajete of queso was going to pop out of the computer. (Google Labs, get on that)  But the Google gods had something almost as good as instant food synthesis: the best blog ever...

Blog con Queso. Okay, so maybe not the best blog ever - but absolutely the best blog title in history. Blog con Queso is only like 5 entires, the most recent post being from July of '07 - but I think its name alone pretty much makes up for its lack of content.  Have you ever heard anything so brilliant in your life.  Shit, I might name my first born child Blog con Queso I love it so much. I am a little disappointed that these self proclaimed 'queso lovers' are holding hostage such a fantastic  name and have failed to deliver on its false promises of 'quesopertise' (word coinage fail). This blog is like one of the Octo Mom's poor babies that desperately needs to be reclaimed by someone who would give it the proper care and attention it deserves. If I ever get back to Texas, I'm going to hunt down this 'Mean Rachel,' challenge her to a duel for this blog's honor then show Blog con Queso what it's been needing/wanting all along. 

Man, I would do many terrible things for some Matt's El Rancho queso right now.   

Oh My Rockness

yes!

Favorite new discovery: Oh My Rockness

A kid after my own heart

I love this kid.  He is awesome. This is like senior year in high school when KB and I thought we were sticking it to the man when we snuck fake names into the yearbook index (oh yeah, they were published, go have a look) I still well up with pride at that little act of rebellion.  Being sneaky just does it for me.

Calling all Sugar Daddies, I need this Headphone Necklace

I was browsing Fred Flare to use up an old gift certificate that may or may not be expired. I set out determined to not spend a dime over the $25 gift certificate, but in typical fashion, I manage to fall in love with the most expensive item on the site.   Ahhh...the road to credit card debt is paved with such good intentions.

F**k Me

Well, all my attempts to avoid this delightful bulletin are officially futile after a fear mongering coworker has forced out of my comfy bubble of denial.   

Apparently, based on historical records and analyzing the current flurry of sesmic activity in SoCal,  there is a high probability that a 7 point Earthquake will rock the LA area within the next 3 days. To put it in Hollywood natural disaster terms -- an earthquake of this magnitude would be the equivalent to the type of tornado that Bill Paxton in Twister describes all ominously to everyone as the 'Finger of God.' Awesome - literally and sarcastically.

(i spent like an hour looking for the right clip -- it happens about 2 seconds after this video ends -- sooo close)

As much as I want to load up my car and high tale it back east where a 120degree heat wave and the occasional flash flood warning are Mother Nature's only devices...there is really nothing I can do about this impending calamity.  I was aware of this possibility when I moved out here - just like I was well informed about the shitty pay, high rent and fantastic weather (plus!).  So, in order trick myself into feeling like I have any control whatsoever, all I can do is be as prepared as possible. 

Some things I learned today in my quest for Earthquake survival skillz: 

1. Indoors: Do NOT seek solace in a doorway. (What?!) Yes, this is the oldest myth of earthquake survival.  Seek safety under a desk or table.  It may protect you from falling objects and debris.

2.  In bed: hold on and stay there, protecting your head with a pillow. You are less likely to be injured staying where you are. Broken glass on the floor has caused injury to those who have rolled to the floor or tried to get to doorways.

3. Driving: Pull over to the side of the road, stop, and set the parking brake. Avoid overpasses, bridges, power lines, signs and other hazards. Stay inside the vehicle until the shaking is over. If a power line falls on the car, stay inside until a trained person removes the wire.

4. Near the shore: Drop, cover and hold on until the shaking stops. Estimate how long the shaking lasts. If severe shaking lasts 20 seconds or more, immediately evacuate to high ground as a tsunami might have been generated by the earthquake. 

oh holy shit. and looks like I'm due for my reoccurring tsunami nightmare tonight. maybe it'll happen during the earthquake and i can just have a heart attack and call it a life.

P.S. If anything should happen to me -- I love Jesus and hope he forgives me for the title of this post. I love you family and friends. Lil, remember to clean out my side table drawers and burn the contents of my trunk. Keep what you wish.
