Writer's Block: Wake up and smell the coffee

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Sleep, sleep, sleep! Granted, the best breakfast I've had in recent times (relatively speaking) was one I ate at a hotel I worked at after a night shift. Before that, it was at a hotel restaurant during a vacation taken back when Ford or Carter was President. (I got the splurge deal. I could handle it back then; I was a growing boy.)

Simple matter: food is a chore; sleep isn't.

Stevito Try #2

Re: THIS POST

Since I have a meeting in Knoxville tonight, I had to take a late lunch/early dinner and that called for a Stevito. Again, the dregs of a beef roast and a tortilla shell. This time I dialed back the sauce...only a couple teaspoons of pizza sauce and a dash of soy sauce. And Mozzerella cheese instead of Colby Jack because of time restraints.

The sauce perked up the meat (I thought it could have gotten dried out, but it didn't) but the soy sauce made it a bit salty when what I was trying to do was make it smoky.

Someday I'll arrive at a recipie that works 100%. *shrug*

Random Stupf I'm Having Stupf-Lust For These Days

*) The Hot Wheels Batwing from the 1989 Batman movie.

*) Scenemaster/Life-Like HO Scale "Coupe Cars", "Pickup Trucks" and "American Autos" so I can equip my "Billy Joe's Boys" militant force for Flames Of War/I Ain't Been Shot Mum. I also want scans of Battlefront's vehicle assembly instruction sheets so I know what "bits" I should buy to properly homologate my machines. And proper rulesbooks for the games of course.

*) The book about early Spitfires I saw at one of the hobby stores I shop at. The owner/manager of the shop is offering me a 30% discount as a local IPMS club member, so the deal looks pretty enticing...and I have the Spitfire project to build for the Reviewer Corps very soon.

*) A pair of normal walking-around shoes and a pair of steel-toe shoes for Tech School.

*) New longjohns.

*) A video camera...Radio Shack put a circular out today and one of the compact ones looked very reasonable. The public TV program Make has plans and instructions for a DIY "steadycam" rig. Very intriguing.

*) DVD four-in-one cases. All the better for consolidating my collection and replacing broken cases.
