if you’ve ever been to a diner with me, you know that nine times out of ten i will order a platter of chicken croquettes. i know, i’m disgusting. anyway, with all the leftover turkey in my refrigerator i decided to put together a turkey croquette recipe (this makes 4 medium croquettes, serves 2):
2 cups [...]

you guys are too much! here’s a list of some of the great stuff i got for my birthday:
r. kelly - trapped in the closet: chapters 1-12 from mike. one of these weekends i’m going to have a trapped in the closet dvd viewing party. it’s truly one of the greatest stories ever told.
EBgames [...]

my birthday was on saturday and we opted for a more low-key day than monica’s night of roller der-bauchery. in the morning i worked on a print server problem at tortilla press while monica got her hair cut, then we went to the cherry hill public library book sale. that place is like the freaking [...]

for monica’s birthday, a bunch of us went to scenic carman ave. in camden nj to check out the philly roller girls‘ first exhibition match sunday night. i’ve never seen roller derby before so it was a new experience. a TON of people came out and it was such an amazing cross-section of subcultures. punkers, [...]

mary timony had a different drummer [...]

my initial exposure to M.I.A. was critics’ darling arular and despite having utterly no sense of funk or rhythm, i fell in love with that record. a bunch of remixes and mashups later, i finally got around to checking out the M.I.A. / diplo: piracy funds terrorism, vol. 1 mixtape and it’s awesome, if only [...]

picked up total overdose: a gunslinger’s tale in mexico last week. taking the free-roaming nature of GTA, the shootdodging of max payne, combo-encouraging gameplay reminiscient of of tony hawk, as well as the feel of robert rodriguez films. i have a number of issues with the clunky driving, unmarked save points and the gratuitous use [...]
