sabritas habanero limon chips

i work in a predominantly hispanic neighborhood, which is so refreshing given the whitey-whiteness of most of orange county. today i ate lunch at probably the whitey-est of all establishments, subway. but even they have managed to work in some flavor. nicely done, local subway. nicely done. these chips are reeeeeeallly good. i'm sure frito-lay has tried an american version, but it probably failed some lame focus group. plus, no crazy smiley face on the package, so what good would it be? if you can find these, try them.

lessons from he-man

while we're on the topic, why not. he-man was my favorite cartoon growing up.

lessons from GI JOE

i went to a midnight showing of harry potter last night. first off, it was incredible. i was very, very pleased, to say the least.

but since everyone is going to be talking about THAT, i decided to talk about this: the upcoming GI JOE movie. now, i have no faith in michael bay, so i doubt this is going to be any kind of cinematic masterpiece. but it does make me nostalgic for the good ol' life lessons that could be summed up in a matter of seconds, and tied up with the neatest bow, "knowing is half the battle."

if you visit this website, you can see the complete catalog of joe lessons (unfortunately, no video, but if i find a video repository, i will post it too)

this is by far my favorite piece of advice:

Scarlett- You can learn to water ski if you keep trying.

haha. also, let's not forget about this joe. click on his picture to re-remember his unfortunate name.

boccalone

tasty salted pig parts. need i say more? last week my good friend scott cooked up a feast with his boccalone order. he found the recipes on their website and i'm kicking myself for not taking pictures. he served pork belly with canteloupe melon as an appetizer, made pizzeta with soft salami, pasta with giancale (cheek), and brussel sprouts with pancetta. it was amazing.

treasure island festival

if my good friend weren't getting married in virginia that weekend, the treasure island festival is surely where i'd be. [ i've already reamed her for it; direct quote: "you better fucking love me." ] the line-up is absurd, and tickets go on sale this friday. hurry. go, because i can't.

LATFH blog

this is one of the funniest things i've seen in a very long time. this, and STFU, PARENTS, make me wonder if i should make the switch to tumblr. thoughts?
