Eat Me! Sautéed or Barbeque...

Ah, Sweet November! The leaves are turning, the air is getting nippy, and the heavenly scent of turkey will soon fill the air. I love that bird! Roasted, smoked, grilled, fried, ground, sautéed, or BBQed! However, there are just some things that shouldn't be turkey flavored or shaped.Yes, you read that correctly. Turkey and gravy SODA. Truthfully, I haven't tasted it, but unless I had no teeth left or my mouth was wired shut, I don't think I would drink this stuff.

As for the above, this is an Ice Cream Cake from Baskin Robbins. Um....not so appetizing. It looks plastic. That's probably the first time I wouldn't eat ice cream. Well, actually, I would totally eat it, but I would eat it in the dark.

Accent Appeal

I have been watching the HSN* in the mornings before work...and sometimes after work.... They had some Christmas items on sale by Colin Cowie. I don't exactly know who Colin is, but from what I can gather, he is a male version of Martha Stewart. However, I enjoy him immensely because of his accent. I love it! Take a listen.



I had trouble placing where his accent is from. Is it European? Australian? Austrian? And then it hit me! The Saint! He has the accent of Val Kilmer as Thomas More, the martyr, the poet.

And all this time I thought Val was making up that accent! Au Contraire! Val is an excellent actor. Heck of a job Val! Heck of an accent Colin!

* HSN - Home Shopping Network
And no, I haven't ordered anything on there...yet.

More like Gold Lining!

Things are looking up!

This week at work I get to work with rat brains!!! I am soooo excited! I get to homogenize the brain tissue (grind it up) and then aliquot it! Yay! Brain tissue! Can you believe it? (Much more exciting than plasma, urine, or feces.)
I even emailed my sister to inform her of my good fortune, "I am working with rat brains today!"
She replied, "You get all the breaks!"
Indeed!

Hair

I was told years ago to go into the hair-transplant industry. Hair plugs are looking more natural every day. Revolutionizing hair products in the form of pills and shampoos are being introduced to the masses: Hair Club for Men, Rogain, Propecia, Revivogen, etc.
I am in favor of any miracle cure, but I am also in favor of rugs, toupees, hairpeices, and wigs because sometimes you just need...more.

For Halloween I dressed up as a doll this year. (I know, you are thinking, "Jay-dub, where is the stretch in that? You could have rolled out of bed and wah-lah! Doll.") But to make Halloween a little more special, I made my own wig out of yarn and a beanie.

It took quite a while to make. I had to sew like the wind to get it done. It was an extensive procedure.

So I wanted to say THANK YOU to all you wig makers out there! You are a cracker-jack group of people! Thanks for making people feel confident about their heads again!


Here is a picture of me, all dolled up.
