Apparently, Rachel Ray can make this black bean salsa in 10 minutes.
It took me 60. I doubled the recipe, but that doesn’t make me feel any less incompetent.
I even used her knife.
Update: Crap…I just realized that I forgot the garlic.

I think I’ve officially put Heroes on probationary status. After the two weeks it’s been on so far this season, I’m just not anticipating watching it like I had been. It feels like we are starting from scratch with new, slowly developing stories, and they haven’t captured me.
And besides, I don’t really need a new […]

Todd Hiestand tagged me. I’m going to play along, not only because I like Todd, but also because I want to encourage him to keep blogging so I can read about fascinating things like his hair growing.
This is the first photo in our iPhoto library (I say ‘our’, because we keep all the photos on […]

It’s been quite some time since I shared my opinions on good coffee shop etiquette. This morning gave me a reason to gripe.

If it can be of any comfort to you, I’m pretty excited about the iPhone. I think […]

How many seminaries are there where you can look out a classroom window to see Puget Sound, a cruise ship in port across the street, and a faculty member smoking a pipe down by the train tracks?

Some random thoughts that went through my head while watching Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End late last night:

“I wish Captain Jack would get some kind of ointment to put on that sore on his cheek. It hasn’t healed for three movies now.”
“Was I supposed to take LSD before watching this scene?”
“I want more […]

Throughout the TV season, I’ve had a growing affinity toward Heroes, even letting it surpass Lost at times.
Well…all I gotta say is that Lost knows how to put on a finale way better than Heroes!

Zach has tagged me with a meme of the Perfect Song. Here’s the rules:
1. scan through your itunes or cd library. refamiliarize yourself with the nooks and crannies of your musical options.
2. identify five categories — genres, if you will — of music. these should be as obscure and finely-articulated as you’d like. feel free […]

Looks like I’ve got some iTunes cash coming my way courtesy of Zach’s silly faith in the Cardinals. Anyone have good recommendations on how to spend it?

I’m not sure why this is so fascinating to me but it is. I set my iSight to take a picture every 30 seconds over about a 90 minute period this morning. This scintillating set of action packed photos documents me reading, following up on some email, and doing a little design work (see […]
