Model Girlfriend

This is Kiki. She models for me. Not very frequently, but on the occasion.
Ok... she has never really modeled for me persay--more or less she just laughs at me.

This picture is very dark, and b/c you may not get to meet her, you will have to take my word that Kiki has a contrastingly very bright and warm personality and attitude toward everything. I think I must have tricked her into dating me (shush, don't let her know).

Probably a better picture is the one below. But I'm sorry to say I kinda dirty up the photo with my goofy face and Curious George t-shirt (do you see why I'm lucky?).

Well, I'm sure that mainly my friends from back home will glance at my Blog and then glance again to make sure I haaven't tricked them as well. Check away! It's a real picture. No, I didn't take a photo out of a magizine or pay a cute girl to sit with me. Although I will admit I have considered that in the past.

BTW, Kiki is not available. And she does not model, although I believe she would do well in the business. She is very happy to just be herself and I think that is awesome.

A Little Helper Over Here

You should all look forward to a new Blog on the nutrition and taste reveiw of various Hamburger Helper box dinners made by the Betty Crocker corporation. I take great satisfaction in devouring these tasty meals, but have found that the description on the label lacks the luster that some deserve. Conversely, other packages should contain a warning to disuade consumption.

Until then, cheers!

This Gas is Really Uncomfortable

I frequent the PDQ (for non-Midwesterners, that's a gas station). And I like to chat it up with my buddy Ed, who is the manager. He for-warned me that prices would sky-rocket... duh. But the better part of his knowledge was that he knew how high the prices would go.


"This morning it was $2.39, tonight it'll be $2.93, and tomorrow $3.20."
"$3.20!!! That's outrageous..."
"What?! It won't stop there... in a couple days it'll be almost $4.00."

Right on the money Ed. When will the prices go back down? Ed predicts that they won't. His theory is that the tragedy of hurricane Katrina gave the US oil companies a reason to finally raise the price to where they wanted us to be. Now..... some of his theories didn't exactly pan out, we're still waiting for those martians to bring his dog back, and it turns out pubic hair does grow back thicker after shaving it off. But I still wince at the thought that he may be right.

My friend Gavin from MD (check out his band The Making and Three Track Mind) has a great online photo album recording the rising price, it's called "Price per Gallon" its sad and hurtful to see, but interesting to watch such an abrupt climb.

Does anyone have a suggestion?
