Brownies

My friend brought up an interesting point last night. Walking towards me with a questioning look just as I was taking some brownies out of the oven, he asked if I thought the term "brownies" was a bit racist. Considering I had never thought to stop and think about this, I carefully looked at the brownies and decided that, yes, it was racist to call brownies "brownies," and thus we should begin to call them "chocolate squares." Honestly, I'll never be able to actually call brownies chocolate squares, because I've called them brownies for far too long. This is not to say that I shouldn't try to change my ways... but I won't. I just think its important that people be aware that calling brownies "brownies" probably isn't the most politically correct thing to do.

Still looking out for you,

Across the Universe

See the movie if you want, but it should be a law that you have to download the Delux Edition Soundtrack because its incredible. Thats all I've been listening to for the past 48 hours. Remember... its the Delux Edition. Not the regular one. I know its $15, but I promise you its worth it! Get it.

I created a new month today.

It's called "Garrens (Gah-renz)." I'm still debating on what two months it falls between in our current calender, but the spaces between February and March or September and October are obviously the most popular so far. I'm thinking that the 12th of Garrens should be a national holiday. I'm open to suggestions on what this holiday should be in honor of, so leave some ideas on the comment board, and they'll all be heavily discussed.

Happy 12th,
Robby

Oh... and I bought a McDonald's cookie tote tonight (13 cookies), which makes this the 7th time that I've purchased this incredible item since it was created. I know. I'm a hypocrite (reference blog entitled "McDonald's is fat").

Dutch Baby

If you've been to "The Original Pancake House" at Five Points here in Birmingham, AL, then you might have noticed the restaurant's specialty called the "Dutch Baby." Contrary to popular belief, if you order the Dutch Baby you will not receive a tiny fetus on a plate wearing wooden shoes. You can imagine my disappointment upon discovering this fact after ordering the Dutch Baby. If you're not going to bring me a fetus with wooden shoes, then don't call your dish a "Dutch Baby." This should be common sense, right? I mean... who's going to expect a bowl shaped, egg tasting pancake covered in powdered sugar when they order a Dutch Baby? Not me. I wanted that tender baby with those shiny little mahogany clogs. Needless to say, I won't be ordering the Pancake House's specialty anymore.

Now getting the background on my food choices,

2 Minute Song Review - Britney Spears "Gimme More"

Rolling Stone review:

"With the release of her new single "Gimme More" one can't help but believe that Britney is finally on top after all these years. No song since "Blue (Daba Dee Daba Die)" has demonstrated such diverse and emotionally engaging lyrics. The song effortlessly glides along as it forces you to slip into a tight pair of black panties, a sparkly bra, and a trance while stumbling around aimlessly. Ranked the #1 song in America based on iTunes sales, "Gimme More" (More commonly referred to as "Gimme, Gimme More" by true Britney fans) is a perfect example of how refined our nation's musical taste has become. Give us more, Britney. Please Lord, give us, give us more."

It's October

You know what that means...



Dragon season.
