just saw an awesome T-shirt on a guy on William St: “SCIENCE – It works, bitches.”
is waiting for my “Pizza Bianca with Goat Cheese and Greens” to come out of the oven. (Base was storebought.) http://tinyurl.com/c3azh8
really isn’t feeling very well today at all. Was it the pizza? I hope not; I brought the leftovers for lunch.
We watched the premiere episode of Wipeout Australia tonight. It was great! They did an excellent job of capturing the fun of the original: stupid telestrator jokes, mockery, silly puns, visual gags, and people getting punched in the nuts. I was curious about the course, because it looked exactly like the one in America. To my surprise, it actually is the exact same course… and it’s in Buenos Aires! Who knew? But the only disappointment of the show was the prize: $20K. Man, the Yanks get $50K! That sucks.
@lotsofco Yep & evidently serving time for selling bongs doesn’t preclude travelling to Australia! (Tho they banned Snoop a few years back.)
@heroespodcast Awesome. Thanks from a Heroes fan in Sydney who’s stuck at work on Monday and can’t see the game!
trying out RunKeeper on iPhone. GPS quality ranged from poor to good, but resulting map is pretty darn accurate! Just a short one, 2.73km.

If any of you have Guitar Hero: World Tour, be sure to log into the Music Store ASAP. There are two new downloadable Bruce Springsteen songs (including “Born to Run”!!) and they’re free for two more days…
The Smell of Summer
(This one’s going to make my Mom and sister go nuts.) We planted two containers full of basil this year, thinking we’d compensate for our perennial inability to grow it with sheer volume. Instead, we must’ve gotten something right as it basically went berserk. It’s been trying to flower for the past month, so every couple of days we’ve been going out and picking off the flower buds to keep it producing. We’ve got more than we’ll ever be able to eat before it wilts though, so yesterday we decided to do a big harvest and make some pesto.
I basically ended up picking about 2/3 of what you see there, which filled a huge bowl to the brim. Snookums then washed it and chucked it into a blender with olive oil, garlic, pinenuts, and parmesan. Mmmm. He made half a blender-full, so we froze it in ice cube trays in the freezer.
My hands still smell good today.
@greggrunberg YOWZA! (From Down Under.)
has just picked a metric ass-ton of fresh basil from the garden. My hands smell So. Damn. Good. The Snook is pestifyin’ at this very moment.
@randomknits I don’t normally watch it, but I caught a few minutes. What did Em think about that weird “Forever” person??
is trying to decide if the fun of impressing my Dad is worth paying, like, $80 for Cheech & Chong tickets. http://tinyurl.com/dh2evn

The official Bureau of Meteorology forecast for Melbourne today: “You’re going to be living in a Tennessee Williams play, basically.”
