Gettin’ a little stale
Filed under: Food, General — nobrainer @ 10:59 pm

…the blog — not any food in my apartment because there is none that can really go stale. Work is piling up, thus the lack of blogging.

I’ve gotten to the point where I’m not nearly out of food, but nothing really seems to make a meal.

Nothing makes a traditional breakfast either. Case-in-point, this morning I had a couple spoonfuls of peanut butter and a hot dog — no bun, just the dog — covered with a slice of cheese.

What’s for breakfast tomorrow? Tuna? Chili? Soup? Cheese — shredded or sliced? Fake spam?

I think it will be something exotic: fake spam & cheese… and peanut butter?

There are things called grocery stores. They carry exotic products such as apples which make a great breakfast. Also they have granola bars which stay good for-ev-er. For dinner, chili, mmm. May want to hang on to that for this weekend though, supposed to get cold again. I will admit, that Cincy chili you guys get is damn good.

I’m familiar with the grocery concept. But there are 2 problems this week. 1, I’m very busy. The homework due yesterday remains unstarted — and I haven’t even been slacking off. 2, the Korean comes to town Saturday, so I’ll be going to the grocery with her then and I want to cut down the # of trips.

I’m glad you mentioned the Gold Star chili. I can mix it with some spaghetti or ramen noodles. Plus I’ll be home in a couple weeks so I can pick up more. Ex-cell-ent.

No. I ate the last pizza a few days ago.

There will be no charcoal frisbees in the near-term.

out of all the nicknames that have been appointed to me throughout my 24-year-existence, this is the first one to not only blatantly refer to my ethnicity but to also downright declare it so matter-of-factly. not complaining, though. matter-of-fact, i really am korean (to clarify for you slow folk–ahem, wha, ahem–my family is from south korea, not north korea–south korea; my parents are not communists nor did they float to the u.s. on a rubber raft). i happen to be very proud of my heritage, so yeah, i think this title fits. i therefore give everyone permission to employ “the korean” term when referring to me–unless you use it in a derogatory manner, and then i’m gonna have to go kung-fu on your ass.

*just kidding around wha; no malicious intent involved :)

Actually I’m not a huge fan of the nickname. The Korean is every bit as American as the rest of us. It’s not like I refer to myself as the “35/64ths German, 5/64ths French, 24/64ths ‘I’m not really sure’ European mutt.”

But it was either the Korean or the girlfriend of nobrainer, which I would have subsequently denoted as TGON. And that, to me, just sounded like I was way too into the Ghostbusters and computers — it just isn’t sexy.

Tokyo huh…way to know the motherland. I think Seoul would have been better terminology. Keep making Wha cracks, go ahead. You and Trickey both know what you got commin if we are gonna play that game. Just because you haven’t experienced something in like 3 years, doesn’t mean it’s dead. I can wake up that figitidy beast on command. It’s just well rested now and has had the dust knocked off from time to time in case a return to the glory days was ever necessary. Keep it up and your Korean ass is gettin humped all the back on that raft.

hey agent orange–you got somethin’ against koreans? you don’t think we’re *cool* like robots? well let me tell you somethin’: we’re 10 times cooler than robots. no, more like six hundred billion times cooler. that being said, “the korean” is a much more appropriate term to use when referring to me; and if you’d rather call me “tgon two thousand” or whatever, then you’re a racist b/c you’ll essentially be saying that robots are better than koreans (which they’re not) and that i should thus be a robot instead of a korean. ha!

hey wha, you touch me inappropiately, i will physically remove that part of your body that allows you to hump people.

Robots aren’t technically alive so they can’t really be a race, can they???

I don’t know what’s funnier, the idol threats or that they took the hump comments seriously. And I know one of the boyfriends finds the action humorous and given the opportunity and the chance to get to know the Wha, the other would see the humor and not have any problems. I mean really, what guy doesn’t find the Hump one of the funniest things around. I know no less than three boyfriends that have seen the act committed and laughed heartily. Poor girls, lighten up, grad school doesn’t make you that pretentious, surely.

hey wha, “idol” is a noun and is defined as a physical representation or image of a deity that’s used for worship; i think what you meant to use in describing these threats is the adjective “idle.”

Congrats on identifing my lack of coherence in spelling. Shall I start the “It will serve you well as a H.S. English teacher jokes?” Nah, I know better. The Korean would rather burn in hell I do believe. I have faith that she will hit some random ass inspiration and write something so completely profound half the damn nation (or at least Hollywood) will embrace it. TGON will then “blow up” and we will all read about it in some crap mag like Entertainment Weekly and drool over her new pad. Trickey as for you, well, I’ll need a damn lawyer at some point, everyone already knows this. Hell, I needed one a while back but that is really minor in the grabd scheme. So I call truce now and reserve the hump only for an extreme incident. Besides, at the rate my copany moves on anything I’ll need someone to actually get our crap solved and as I expect to be mgt before may more years, will have a say so in representation. Can’t we all jsut get drunk, talk shit and get along?

Let’s fact it, we all get an A+ in shit talking. And a few of the best in my class will be working at the big firms in Charlotte,so next time you need a lawyer I will give you one of their cards.

Hell, we’ll just give you the #1 person in the class. I have a feeling you’ll need help straight from the top. :)
