Clean Living Experiment

So I started a Clean Living Experiment. I wanted to make a change for myself and I figured why pay for a program when all I need to do is go to bed early and exercise. My theory is that doing those 2 things should, in and of themselves, prevent me from other vices. So I've been forcing myself to go to bed early which means 10:30 on most nights. And I've been walking every morning at 5:30. The hardest part has been forcing myself to go to bed. I am such a crazy night owl it's not even funny but within a day or so I saw the benefits such as increased energy and sounder sleep. As for the exercise, I can honestly say that I'm a little addicted at this point. I've been walking about 5000 steps each morning which is roughly 2 miles. Below are my observations:
  • Many people spend many hours perfecting their lawn. We are not one of them;
  • I pass by one of these every morning. I'm thinking of changing my route;
  • Apparently I'm in the minority of not liking gazing balls;
  • Lawn hobos are the new lawn jockey;
  • Instead of Mary in the half-shell there's Mary in the half-tub; and
  • Shin splints are the devil's handiwork.

Willy Wrapper Wednesday

I'm guessing they smell like bananas?

The Faster The Beat, The Sweeter The Meat

I could be wrong but something tells me that this won't be making it to PPAC anytime soon. Just a hunch.

The horrible games on their site did make me laugh though, especially this one. My beat was totally fast yet I still couldn't make my meat sweet!

Drat, Drat and Double Drat

On Boing Boing today there was a post about Stephane Halleux's awesome robot characters.

The robots are really amazing but I think what I dug most were the cars. Although they're not flying machines, they totally remind me of something you'd see in a Dastardly and Muttley cartoon. Definitely check them out.

Another Wednesday, Another Banana

For all you dom's out there, here's a nice leather one for you:

What a Maroon!

Another Wednesday, Another Banana

Today I present to you the ugly-speckled-ceramic-banana. Not every banana that I have is cute - in fact, the bulk of them are quite "special". This one looks like it's suffering from some type of disease.

Food Glorious Food

I usually don't write about food, which is surprising since I love to eat, but I made this over the weekend on the grill and it's too easy and yummy not to share:

Herbed Balsamic Chicken with Blue Cheese


And if you're not a fan of blue cheese I think it would still taste great even if you skipped that part.

Pictures at Last!

Absurdity Knocks

In honor of the Humpty Dance guy at work and because it's the hump day of the week I bring you the absurd a la banana:
