After thinking way too hard about things, and then completely putting it aside. My Summer mix CD finally came together this week. Actually 2 CDs because there was some Noisy, Harsh, and "Cursive" music that I really wanted for myself in the van. So that freed me up to not worry about cutting the good stuff that only I would like in favor of special requests from EAR, HPR, and the XXRs to keep their fave songs on, even if I don't like. Thanks to those here that provided suggestions. Final results after the break. Continue reading Friday Music Day: July 12, 2013 →

2013 Twins Game Recaps

Game 88 Recap: From the Livejournal of Cole DeVries

July 11, 2013

Mood: Humble 😐

Music: Bruno Mars - Treasure

Well, I finally moved out of my hotel room in Rochester and signed a lease on a pretty good apartment. Dad and Janelle rented a U-Haul and drove a bunch of my stuff from my old apartment in Minneapolis all the way here, so I can finally be comfortable. I didn’t realize how much I missed my Xbox lol! I've been playing COD a lot again, but I'm a total noob now after not playing for a while. I guess I just have to accept that maybe I’ won’t be as good as I used to be. That’s a lot easier to do with COD than it is with Baseball.

I might be running out of ways to say I'm sick of watching the Twins be this bad, guys. How did I ever get through 1993-2000? Well, I know how I got through those years, but college is over and I can't really go back to all that again. I'm glad I've got a few other obsessions.

Given some of the culinary smart-people we have running around this site, I hardly feel qualified to put up a recipe.  But I'm just so darn happy with how dinner tonight turned out (no recipe, this just made sense to me! I'm sure I've had something like it somewhere else before, of course. Still...), that I figured I'd put something together.  Also, many of these ingredients came from our CSA this week. Also, I want other people to put up recipes more often, in dedicated Nation Has An Appetite form, so they're easier for me to find when I want them.  So I'll lead the way.
