This Week's Sign of the Apocolypse
The Oral Disco
Not just a great name for a band, the Oral Disco is a light show for your mouth. How have you gone this long without blinking lights in your mouth?

Down to 205 lbs.
So I've dropped 37 pounds since August. And that's even though August will always be remembered (or not remembered) as the month of beer and I also gruesomely tore my groin and couldn't really exercise for 8 weeks.
My secret, one coke a day, and insane amounts of hockey.
Lucinda Williams
So I've been listening to some Lucinda Williams. She's my favorite chick artist of the moment (high praise indeed). Her song Righteously really does it for me.
I Welcome Me Back
After quite the hiatus I welcome myself back to my web log. I have no huge goals for this. It will probably be self-medicating but maybe it will make sense to an outsider. Or scarier, will let you see into me.

Owwwwwww!
Well it's almost been a week and my pulled groin has really come into its own as just a hideously discolored injury. I may have outdone myself this time.

Dumbest Criminals EVER
CNN.com - Powerball winner recovers lost $545,000 at strip club
Someone broke the driver's side window and took a briefcase containing $245,000 in cash and three $100,000 cashier's checks belonging to Whittaker, who hit Powerball's richest jackpot on Christmas Day, police said. The briefcase, cash and checks were found behind a nearby trash bin.
OK. So what was so valuable that the thief(s) threw away $245,000 in cash plus $300,000 in cashiers checks? Man I cannot wait to see what they actually walked away with. Oh the irony that they left with just a Yanni CD.

Curiosity Clogged the Arteries
At first I thought McDonalds' new McGriddle sandwich was a bad joke. How could a company that just a few months ago was spouting about its new healthier menu be coming out with a sausage egg and cheese sandwich served on something called McGriddle cakes with syrup baked in? It seemed to me a big middle finger to anyone who might be looking towards McDonalds for a healthy breakfast.
But having actually heard a few people rave about them, including on the Howard Stern Show, my curiosity got the best of me. This morning I went out and tried a McGriddle. And to try and give my heart a break I skipped the Sausage, Cheese McGriddle (550 calories, 33g fat, 260mg cholesterol, 46g carbohydrates) and instead chose the "lighter" 450 calorie Bacon Egg & Cheese McGriddle.
Sure sweet & savory can work, honey baked ham, honey BBQ chips, etc. But this McGriddle.... Upon the first bite, cavities you didn't know you had scream out in pain. And when you get past the overwelming baklavian sugar rush you descend quickly into a typical processed McDonalds bacon, egg & cheese. Having completed this gastronomic catastrophe I do have to admit, I don't want to eat anything else. So with 1/4 of my daily caloric intake out of the way I just have to figure out what to do with this sugar high.
