Blog: The A-Team Tribute, plus other nonsense
June 24th, 2016 · Comments
Cable and Satellite TV presents the option to run into forgotten shows, and of late, I don't remember a lot of talk about the "A-Team." I bounced around the dial finding this on a weekend and watched a few episodes one week. A fun, silly, light hearted show full of personality is what A-Team was. Tons of action, some corny humor, and all that. You can see why it was popular for a few years.
It's terribly dated -- the obvious point is that nothing carries over from one episode to the next and what really got me was the ways which the show defied physics. Every episode, all of these guys are shooting serious guns, like machine guns that can shoot thousands of bullets... and the enemies were shooting thousands of bullets, and there were explosions at every corner, but NO ONE GOT HURT. How the hell does that happen?! 80,000 bullets and not even a flesh wound? Man all of these dopes must be terrible shooters, what are these jackasses aiming at?? Clearly they were trying to shoot one another, yet, magically, Baracus could just drive a convertible, a freaking *convertible,* through the 80,000 bullets and 15 flaming explosions without a scratch to the CAR let alone their faces.
The plot for every show was the same, this was the design: some underprivileged person was getting jobbed over by someone, they'd find the A-Team, Face or Murdock whoever it was would try to drug Baracus into a coma so they could take a plane because B.A. doesn't fly. Face would find some random girl on the street and get his mack on and con people along the way. They'd build some wild contraption to defend against invisible bullets, giant ass 80,000 bullet fight scene, explosions, Murdock does some silly thing at the end, FREEZE FRAME.
It was ridiculous, but that's the charm... it owned its own silliness.
There's a burrito place run by this meat market in Santa Barbara... it is amazing. I used to go there often when I lived up that way. It's called "Super Cuca's." If you get their Super Carne Asada Burrito prepare for greatness. So good.
One of my buddies is going to New Orleans this weekend. What a time to be alive! I told him to bring beads. Beads are a must. It would be a great achievement in life to bring beads to Bourbon Street and put them to use. Soon!
I thought of going to Vegas during 4th of July Sunday, or however you'd say that, Independence Sunday? Sure - you'd get to stay a night sunday and you get the day off on the 4th when everyone else is pouring into town. two problems -- too hot and too much money as of the moment.
Peach season hasn't been that great this year. The drought is finally hitting us where it hurts.
In its place, strawberry season is really on fire. I am consistent with my pick of Driscoll's strawberries when I'm not in my home town of Oxnard. In Oxnard, the best places are the local roadside stands. But anywhere else, I go with the Driscoll's. It continues to be the best quality most consistent strawberries around. This particular batch was amazing. Melt in your mouth good.
I've been on a bad soda kick lately. I need to dump that habit. I went over to the Coke Freestyle machine twice this week already. Not good. but man! You tell me where else you can get peach sprite and grape Fanta. Or cherry sprite, or multiple flavors of ice cold Hi-C. I want to go see an AMC movie, so that I can use *their* freestyle machine.
On this week's Spilled Milk podcast, the fellas were talking about convenience foods in the deep south. One that made no sense to me: putting peanuts into a bottle of coca cola. I... I can't. I'm perplexed. You put peanuts into the coca cola and drink it? It seems so dissonant. What would be the end result here? Has anyone here tried it?
You ever see those new cars with the LED lights? They can make the head lamps so narrow now, it's like all the new cars are squinting.
Got two tickets to see Weird Al Yankovic at the Hollywood Bowl with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, do the dance!
That's all for now. We have cooled off in California, let's enjoy a great weekend everyone.

Blog: Chocolate Donuts & Milk
June 17th, 2016 · Comments
It occurred to me that I really enjoy milk best with chocolate donuts more than glazed donuts. I had a nice plastic cup of milk and it just went together so well with the chocolate. I tried a glazed donut with the same cup of milk and it wasn't quite there. The Chocolate donut nailed it though!
Do you have those moments when you are just so out of it you can't drink coffee? It happens frequently after I have a particularly strong beer. Last night I was at Tony P's and had a giant double-pint of the Grape Ape IPA. And would you believe, IPA's were not in fact invented in India?! I was blown away at that. The process is actually invented by the British who used to have to use a form of IPA in order to preserve beer on the way from the UK to the India colonies. That's good stuff.
Anyway, the Grape Ape was *awesome*, and I went after that pepperoni, bacon, and garlic pizza. So good. But the rest of the night I felt off... and it carried over into the morning. I didn't sleep well. My stomach was having an adventure, and a trip to the bathroom put it at ease. Later in the morning, I went to the cafe still out of it and with an unsettled stomach. I knew coffee was not going to work today, so I got the milk. But I also thought -- this would be a good time to try a chocolate donut. But just to make sure I had some variety I added a glazed donut to the order. I eat donuts probably 3-4 times a year, and this time around everything felt right.
The milk was pretty cheap too -- and it was great! I get 2% milk for drinking. It was sublime. The chocolate donut was on deck... took a bite, and *wow.* That was epic. With an unsettled stomach this combination really hit the spot. I can't think of eating much right now. I just need time. Tonight I'll reassess. I have a hello fresh veggie pasta thing to cook for the weekend.
Warriors will win it in game 7. Something's gotta give, right?
