photobooth friday



this is the first of the "found" photobooth pics that i picked up at a local antique store. my excitement when i came across this in a large bowl full of pics from someone's family history is indescribable. i love the look of indifference on this boy's face, almost as if someone forced him into the booth, and his nautical-inspired shirt. these details and others make it my favorite of the vintage found photobooth pics i have.

i like to think he grew up to be a nice guy, one of those quintessential all-american 50s leave it to beaver letterman jacket wearing guys that drank martinis and said things like, "hi honey, i'm home!" without any hint of irony and had a house full of furniture i'd drool over.

trolling craigslist, i came across the following in the "free" section:

wtf, netflix?

first you no longer support hd-dvd, now you're suggesting MXC because i liked the bridge? something seems fishy with your recommendation algorithm.

super fat tuesday

super tuesday + fat tuesday = super fat tuesday.

i'm watching "eddie murphy raw" right now. i remember it coming out in 1987 and knowing i wanted to see it, if only because my parents said i couldn't.

i'm pretty sure lewis black ate at one of my restaurants today. i mean, the guy looked like him, sounded like him, so it must be him, right? sadly i didn't have the courage to ask, and neither did the person who pointed him out to me.

i did recognize ronnie lott when he came in just before christmas to a different location of mine. that was cool, seeing a childhood hero, in the flesh, downing a corona light with his daughter.

the cake decorating class is over. it turned out to be lots of fun, i only wish the "final" was on a weekend so i could have dedicated more time to making sure my cake looked as good as possible.
the decorating process:





official frosting tester


i absolutely love that shade of blue

it looks easier than it was
finished product


speaking of food, i cooked a mean dinner last night: pasta with goat cheese and asparagus. i used the last of the white elbow macaroni, but i feel like it would have been better with whole wheat. next time!



to be put in the oven

pasta with goat cheese and asparagus
ready to eat


i like eddie murphy ("trading places" is one of my favorite movies) but i'm pretty sure i've only managed a chuckle twice during the past 40 minutes of this routine. let's hope the second half is funnier than the first.
