Lately I have had more than my usual share of failures in the kitchen...
I need some disipline too:>) I have been distracted, stessed, and not paying attention to detail...
Now that spring is here I am getting back on tract, try this adaption of a dish from Diner (I got this from thier excellent food mag called Diner Journal)
Pan fry prosciutto and ramp greens (only), set aside.
Blanche asparagus lightly, throw above on top.
Fry a (Flying Pig Farms) egg on top of that.
A dash of Celtic salt, olive oil, and a parmesan shave.
Crake the egg and let the yoke run, YUM!!

Lately I have had that Failure As A Dad feeling....
Not in the love/fun/spirit/etc dept where I feel I am a few notches above par but in disipline, sure I had no idea that my boy was a Strong Willed Lux Model, and that I was also the same and my parents prob had a tough time with me but still its been hurting lately....
The books have helped to understand the underlying psychology and I am using them to get some stuff done, but he's also moody and he's got some other issues too (like not wanting to poop, daddy cant poop enough and he wants to hold it in), anyway I would not want him any other way, he's awesome, even when he wakes up 9 times out of 10 cryingh/moany/moody, if he see's me before mommy in the morning he slams the door to his room and throws a fit, but soon its "Daddy Can You.....??" and were off....
The daughter looks like she will be easy but I am smarter now too...

Hippies get the History Channel treatment tonight at 8. Will they use re-enactors, like in the barbarian docs, or just show the same old clips over and over?
The 9-screen cinerama in downtown Santa Cruz is going nuts with the advertising. Lots of TV promos before the trailers. They had an oh far too long promo for this train wreck of a travel show. It was so full of "OMG these foreign countries are not only different from the U.S., they are different from each other" that I had to openly mock it -- and I don't do that sort of thing in theaters.
gilliard not doing well.

someone mentioned this place to me recently. union hall in park slope. 5000sqft bar/music venue with two indoor bocce courts. is nothing sacred?
Jersey City tree killers strike again
Forested swath between liberty harbor (Celebration type development) and the concrete plant: gone. The trees were mostly new growth trash trees and bushes sprung up over the last couple decades but they weren't hurting anybody. Bulldozed now. There's hardly a tree left in that vicinity, just acres of fake period townhouses.
Fuck these people.

jim are you on a diet??
building a mico salad table
somewhat humorous richardson campaign ad. if he were a detergent, i might wash my clothes with him! actually the blasts of music makes me think of a travelocity ad. maybe he needs a troll.
Tim Bray just posted about an online survey he filled out for the Economist (which, btw, I've been reading lately too, for the first time, and I have to agree with Matt Yglesias' description of them as a mix of "interesting reporting and bizarre editorial judgment".) Anyway, one of the questions of the survey was, sort of strangely, What do you think is the Twentieth Century’s most iconic piece of design; write in your answer and an explanation.
I've thought about this for about 1 minute so far and I'm not sure anyone can really answer. I thought of the original Volkswagon Beetle, but that seems like more of a contender for 2nd half of the 20th century design, so I'm still working on it.
Any takers?

I've been against HIllary from the beginning, so this is no big news or anything, but still it has occured to me that the Republican field is really hurting her chances at getting the Democratic nomination.
Imagine if Bush had a really strong popular VP who was a clear heir apparent (I said "imagine.") Someone the Republican machine and the rank and file were really going to get behind in lock step. If this was the case Hillary might have an advantage in the primaries because she could say (although not this directly,) that she is the only coldly calculating Dem candidate who has the professional (think "hit man") team behind her to take on such a challenger in the general election. Like: "You might think I'm a cold hearted bitch who only cares about getting more power, but at least I can take the fight to them. If you want to get your ass kicked again just nominate some pussy like John Edwards or some pie in the sky big picture guy like Obama and watch what happens when they run up against the Republican juggernaut."
That might have been effective. But because the Republicans have fielded the three (or four, five, or six) stooges I think she has lost a lot of tactical ground.
Not sure that makes sense but thought I'd just blurt it out since I'm a little bored here.

Accompanied by six graphs, two tables and equations whose terms include “bologna” and “carpet,” it’s a thorough microbiological study of the five-second rule: the idea that if you pick up a dropped piece of food before you can count to five, it’s O.K. to eat it.
A GALLON jar of pickles sits near the register at Lee’s Washerette and Food Market, a mustard-colored cinder-block bunker on the western fringe of this Mississippi Delta town.
Those pickles were once mere dills. They were once green. Their exteriors remain pebbly, a reminder that long ago they began their lives on a farm, on the ground, as cucumbers.

5/8/07 is Grateful Dead Day in Ithaca NY
Proclamation from the Mayor of the City of Ithaca
Whereas, the Grateful Dead have been recognized by many highly credible organizations, individuals and entities including the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as significantly important and integral to the
musical and social fabric of our contemporary culture, and whereas, on May 8th, 1977 the Grateful Dead performed in Barton Hall on the campus of Cornell University in the city of Ithaca New York, a concert that is widely acknowledged and regarded as a defining and transcendent occasion and example of the art of contemporary musical improvisation, collaboration, musicianship, and performance, and whereas, many tens of thousands of individuals who were not in attendance that night in Barton Hall, have become knowledgeable & familiar with the extraordinary nature of the performance on May 8th 1977 through the trading and sharing of recordings of the show, and whereas, the cultural identity and perceptions of Ithaca as a community, have been informed and bolstered by the widespread acknowledgement of the magic of May 8th, 1977, and whereas, it has been said many times by many people that, “there is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert.”
Now therefore, be it resolved that as Mayor of the City of Ithaca, and in heartfelt recognition of the thirtieth anniversary of the May 8th 1977 concert performance, I declare May 8th 2007 as Grateful Dead Day in the City of Ithaca.
Dark Star Orchestra will perform the set list of 5/8/77 on 5/8/07 at the State Theater of Ithaca NY.
