Needles is handsome

Needles is handsome, our cat of 6 years. His birthday is next week and he's excited for a party (which he likely won't be getting). In any case, I figured I'd keep the Catbox going.

Directions please

Today Chuck called me with his crazy Estonian phone number cellphone. He was lost and trying to find his way home. I was in the workbox and naturally willing and able to help. Isn't technology wonderful sometimes?

It's time for a new post

Another one will come shortly, but it's been awhile since the last post. We are still alive :) This weekend, we're going to DC for my college friend Andrew's wedding.

Lasagne Night

It's been awhile since I made a good lasagne. Admittedly, I haven't yet tasted this one, but tonight is lasagne night once again. This particular batch has a mix of colby and mozarella cheese, along with the usual ricotta, cottage, and parmasean cheeses. There's also a full pound of ground turkey in there, as opposed to the typical meager half that I add.

I'll let Al comment on whether or not it was worthwhile, but it seems to be a pretty tasty picture to me so far.

Pillow Fight!

In honor of World Pillow Fight Day, Downtown Los Angeles had its own once again in Pershing Square. I believe this is now 3 or 4 years strong as an event at Pershing Square, but this was the first chance I had to see it in person (admittedly, I wasn't too keen on losing a nice feather pillow to the war, so I was simply a bystander taking a gander into the madness!)

Attached is one shot... more to come. All of those feathers... so ruffled!

Spring Street Smokehouse

I've heard my co-workers mention the Spring Street Smokehouse a number of times as a lunch destination, but have never had the opportunity to join them. Tonight, they made it a dinner occasion and I happily joined. The photo above isn't actually me or my co-workers... just a steal from the Smokehouse's web site.

All in all: delightful food, great prices, cool space. Oddly enough, located in Chinatown. I highly recommend it and will be back again.

Outdoor Cat Enclosures

I love when random ads come into my Gmail AdSense. Attached is a photo from the ad for Cages by Design, including a lovely model above for Outdoor Cat Enclosures. The kittens pictured are just adorable.
