Autumn is Upon Us!

Friday, September 9th, 2011

Ah, The passing of Labor day - which leads us to the unofficial start of Fall!  How wonderful this time of year is - when we cross from unholy, volcanically face-melting temperatures to merely 'hot and muggy,' a change I've been looking forward to!

Fall also means lots of other changes! In September, you can buy Oct. 31st Halloween costumes.  In Oct. 31st, you can buy Christmas and Hanukah stuff.  And in late December, they put the Independence Day stuff out for purchase.  Truly this is a great time of year, and I love that the holidays are starting earlier and earlier!  I fully expect Santa to visit my Christmas party dressed as Dracula.

The best part?  Fall themed everything!  Autumn Forrest Candles! Peppermint twist car fresherner! Pumpkin Pie! Pumpkin Lattes! Pumpkin Muffins! Pumpkin Pancakes!  Nike Pumps* and Pumpkin Spice Muffins!

In celebration of this unofficial climate cooling, I have placed MUFFINS of every variety out - but especially PUMPKIN SPICED MUFFIN!**  Sing a song*** Do a dance!  Enjoy the sights and smells of autumn, and the cooler, crisper winds breaking off our coast! And snow crunching beneath your feet! And if by some off chance it doesn't snow, you can still feel the crisp crunch of stepping over crumbs of cinnamon crunch muffin goodness!
Enjoy everyone!

*Orange Pumpkin-colored self-lacing ones!
**I bring pumpkin spiced muffins now.  Pumpkin spiced muffins are cool.

Star Wars Celebration Orlando 2017, or What It's Like When a Nerd Takes Acid

Image
I went to Star Wars Celebration, and I feel the need to tell you about it and provide you with an honest, clear review of this event. You have been warned. Firstly, are you a fan of Star Wars ? I don't mean "Yes, I saw some of those. They were good." I'm not referring to the people who have seen each and every single film, some more than once. I'm not even talking to people who have a plush taun-taun, or that 'one really rad shirt from the first film in Japanese.' If you are one of these people, congratulations, you are well adjusted, have a strong appreciation for a culturally significant movie, and probably go to therapy for other reasons. Also, if you're a casual fan and live nearby, sure, give it a shot, maybe take a day trip to check some stuff out. If you wake up every morning in Star Wars sheets and eat Kellogg's C-3PO's  from a vintage 1997 Special Edition Re-Release Box with a light up lightsaber spork, DO I H

TESLA REVIEW PART II: THE ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

Image
PART I: THE BASICS Now we're on to the ACTUAL REVIEW! What's it like to drive a Tesla, for the average joe? I'm not a man who drives a BMW 3 series, or a Mercedes, or an Audi. Or a Lexus. Or an Acura. I don't have the latest Mazda 6 series. I have a FIFTEEN YEAR OLD Honda Accord. I imagine a large number of Tesla drivers will be coming from a similar experience - so I want to share what it's like moving from a car to an electric-powered rocket with wheels, airbags, and the most advanced cupholders I've ever seen. Here's the car. It's smaller than I thought, has no power, and I can't get the trunk open. A model Model 3. If I paid it to wear clothes, It would be a model model Model 3. As for the ACTUAL car: First, you gotta get INTO the thing. You walk up to it with cellphone in pocket, push in on a block bit which pops the handle out, pull the handle, and climb in. So far, I've noticed that this works 95% of the time. 5% of the time

Spanish for Donut

I'm BACK!  After several weeks of long, long hours at a fun, but unfortunately short term position, I have returned to my roots! Unfortunately, I can't tell you where I was working, not because of the project I was working on - because the position I had (special kind of Production Assistant based around intellectual property security). I CAN tell you that it was in Miami. And I learned some things there.  Something important and breakfast related.  Churros. Those are delicious. It's like a single donut stick - a Mexican donut-saber.  It's an oddly long and amazingly delicious treat. Churros are served hot - the outside is awesomely crispy, covered in a stardust-type sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar, and the inside is a melty, doughy blend of amazing deliciousness. You should go get one of these right now, for two reasons.  Firstly, because based on their addictive nature, I have to at least guess that somewhere in that cinnamon sugar mix is crystal meth or some other
