I'm sitting in an audition. Some of these parents skeer me, y'all.

Haka is the awesome! I love the youtube of the All Blacks vs. Tonga, because Tongans do something Haka like. [link]

And I think UH's football team (undefeated until bowl time) did a Haka at the beginning of each game.

Oh yeah, NZ v Tonga was the one that made me think West Side Story: "We will FUCK YOU UP... with DANCE!"

It was here we were talking about lobster, right? I just had a hilarious conversation with my grandmother about (a) how she and my parents divided up a Legal Seafood lobster and chowder meal for two among the three of them (she takes the bodies) and (b) how she likes her lobster roll -- in the real New England hot dog bun, not too much mayo, no other crap. Apparently Jasper White had celery AND cucumber AND lettuce AND too much mayo in his, and she was NOT impressed.

I freely admit that growing up on the New England coast has made me a lobster snob. My favorite little lobster dive is this place on a back street, down an alley, and across the railroad tracks in New London. They have the cold lobster roll most people know, but they also have a hot lobster roll, which is my favorite thing ever. Choice lobster meat with drawn butter drizzled across it in a hot dog bun. Hell yeah.

We went there the first night we were in CT last week, which turned out to be a good thing since the trip got cut short. I would have been bummed to have missed out on my yearly lobster fix.

(I refuse to pay $40 for a lobster, flown across the country or not, so there's no way I eat it in LA.)

Just watched Dr. Horrible Act 3. Hee funny to see David Fury, Marti Noxon and Drew Goddard in it.

Do you change and/or clean your filters, Jesse?

Read this, pulled off the front of my unit-- unbelievable. I never thought about cleaning the filters. What a mess.

Sort of like me and Cuban food. I refuse to pay gobs of money for what's essentially cheap-ass comfort food, most of which I can make myself, prepared by some fool who thinks adding a demi-glace is a good idea.

Feh.

Back from audition-- looks like Abby might have a good shot at making the parade ensemble.

Sat afternoon boredom with a child "trapped" inside because we are waiting for laundry to finish. I think mac was considering calling the authorities. Poor thing /sarcastic

Sniff. I was all excited the other night, with teh Girl, apparently there's this "Cuban" restaurant across the street from her, the last time I was over it was closed, and it has lines out the door, becuase there's only like two tables. So I'm thinking awesome things. Little dive joint, two tables, lines out the door? But dude. It was not really Cuban food. I may try the sandwich, next time (I was too hungry to wait, and it said it took extra time), but...sigh. And there weren't even any plantains anywhere on the menu, which also made me sad. I was hoping for some plantains. I love plantains.

Mmm... plantains. Loves me some maduros.

ETA: I have come to the inescapable conclusion that Bobby Flay may be an ass, but he's a very talented ass.

Goat cheese fundido and smoked lamb Cobb Salad at Mesa Grill on Thursday at lunch. Gotta love when editors take you to lunch, man. :-)
