The Rhythm is the Bass and the Bass is the Treble

I may have mentioned this before, but I'm really pissed that stores stop carrying items that I like to eat. Can't they take away the pigs feet in a jar, how many people really buy those? Today I'm angry that they don't have Fruit Wheats anymore. This was a cereal I ate a lot when I was a kid and it was just basically shredded wheat squares with strawberry filling. They tasted so good with milk!! Now they're gone. I'm really craving this cereal right now for some reason. I found a picture of the raisin ones, which were not the ones that I liked. Strawberry was the way to go, but for the curious:


I have also recently started buying popcorn with "shakeable" cheddar pour over. It is like popcorn that came with a powdered cheddar packet and it was really good! This still exists (it actually just came out) but the East Ave Wegmans where I shop seems to have something against carrying it anymore. Amazon.com says that it's the #1 selling Orville Reddenbacher variety. Soooo East Ave Wegmans is stupid and I'm gonna start shopping in Pittsford.

There are other products that have disappeared from stores, and from my memory apparently, because right now I don't know what they are. But when I remember, I will add more!

In other news, this weekend I went to a party hosted by my co-worker's girlfriend. Actually my co-worker, Andrew, is turning into an actual friend, of which I don't make many these days. He is now working with me every day and we share an "office" so I guess it was inevietable. He's also goofy, which is always good:

Anyway his girlfriend Julie is an amazing artist, one of the few who have graduated from RIT with a fine arts degree. She is a potter now and she makes the most awesome looking stuff. I bought one of her bowls for my mom for Christmas, and had wanted more of her stuff but it was too expensive. Well....she decided to have an open house for her old pottery, and made it 50% off. This was the perfect opportunity to get more! I didn't want to go overboard so I just bought a mug and a serving bowl. This is the bowl:

And if any of you reading this likes this stuff, her name is Juliana Drumheiller (perhaps spelled wrong) and if you let me know, I can pick up stuff for you.

Other than that, I've just been sick...like all of April....which is annoying. Lately it's been a stomach bug, which has caused me to lose 3 pounds in 2 days and shrink my stomach to practically nonexistant. (I ate a muffin this morning and was full until about 6pm, at which point I ate 2 hashbrowns and was full again). But I think I'm almost up to full speed, I'm just gonna avoid dairy for a little while. It was fun almost throwing up/passing out at work though...

And now for more Puzzle Quest....best. game. ever. (orrr just right now)

The Deal with Kevin Spacey: Part 2

Image
I figure I better finish this captivating cliff hanger before 2013, so I'm writing this just under the wire. Starting from the end of the previous blog entry, here we go: A little over a year ago now, my best friend Angie posted a link to my Facebook page of a trailer for Kevin Spacey in  Richard III . The thing is, this was not a movie, it was a stage play. And the even better thing is, he was performing at BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music). Mike and I had already moved away from Brooklyn at that time, but I had gone to BAM before, and it happened to be a quick walk from our old neighborhood. That got me thinking that it would not be difficult to get there. I looked on the BAM website, and saw that tickets were affordable. Also, Bank of America members (which, regrettably, I am) got early access to tickets. I believe the tickets went on sale in early November 2011. I called BAM the minute the box office opened that day, and ordered 2 tickets for Mike and I to attend in February

Celebrities May Be Smaller Than They Appear

Image
If there's one thing I learned since moving to NYC, it's that celebrities are tiny people. Usually both thin and short. When I met most of the cast of Ugly Betty , that was what I noticed first. I met Amanda, Mark, Hilda, and saw Betty (I don't know their real names, I don't even watch the show actually) and they looked like the littlest people alive. America Ferrera (I lied, I know her name) must be like 5'0. Last week I went to a broadway show called "Spring Awakening" that starred Hunter Parrish (Silas on Weeds ). On stage he looked thin but tall. Once we spoke to him afterwards he was shorter than me (I was leaning back in the pic) and definitely thinner than me. The day after meeting Hunter, I found "no parking" temporary signs on my street. These signs are posted all over the place when a filming is going on. I looked at what was filming, and lucky me, it was Flight of the Conchords , season 2! I've mentioned here before that

Reflections

Well once again, I'm getting a post in just under the wire. It's been about 8 months since I last posted, and that makes Simon 11 months old right now. I looked back at my last post, and many of the "bad" things have changed. We can go to restaurants now, and we can even bring Simon if it is appropriate! I don't have to run around like crazy trying to get things done, because Simon will sit and play by himself for awhile if I need to do something. Likewise, I can take my time eating again. After about the 4-5 month mark, things got progressively easier. He learned to hold and play with objects, then to sit up, then to crawl, and now he stands (holding on to things). This makes him more and more independent. He has 8 teeth now, and eats most of what we eat, but in tiny pieces. He can wave, and clap, and say little words like mama, dada, baba, hey, and yay. He is tall for his age, but slim. He looks like Mike from the front and me from the side. He hugs and danc
