Dinner for Poor People

I was supposed to have plans tonight but they broke and I was stuck in the house with like $5 to my name, frozen meat, and nothing coherent to make a meal with until I found brown eggs and made

eggs with salsa arugula and some cheese and peanut butter and jelly. I saw it on the food channel.

Anyway my plans tonight were supposed to be with my friend Mike so in his absence I decided to finally process the photos I took from our trip upstate to take photos. He let me use his cool lenses and filters, so this was an exercise in experimentation both in shooting and post-processing so it's not my fault if they're just boring pictures of waterfalls, I'm showing them all to you anyway.

First some IMPORTANT FACTS about Kaaterskill Falls.

What this deluxe information plaque doesn't tell you is that if you have to pee 5 minutes after you got there because you didn't go at a sensible time, you have to climb this huge hill to hide behind a tree and you'll slip and slide down the entire thing on your butt along with like 3 huge rocks that your friend will have to avoid so they don't kill him like in some Atari 2600 game. Ok time for nature.

That pic turned out more purple than I'd like but I already closed Photoshop.

Sorry hobo I didn't see you there trying to shower MY TOTAL BAD!

Babbling brook: "Blah blah blah."

That one would be my favorite if I framed it a little lower.

Anyway that's all and also it wouldn't be a photo trip if I didn't secretly photograph some straight guy I thought was hot.

Here he is looking to the future.

Here he is breaking up with his future because she is a nag and he wants to be with me.

I'm Back Hi

Happy Monday, kids! Guess who's blog sabbatical ends today? Here's a hint: he's tall and boring and looks like that British rock star he's never heard of.

You've missed much, and by that I mean nothing. I moved, which is cool. I live in a lovely new one-bedroom apartment now that's actually person-sized and has a grand kitchen that has helped me learn that cooking is actually kinda cool! I'm now a student of Giada de Laurentis' "Giada at Home" series and have mastered the preparation of ricotta parfait, asian chicken salad, and ravioli with arugula and pancetta. Also, last night I made Mac and Cheese with Tuna 'n Stuff, which is my lifetime speciality, and then I pan fried it to see what would happen, and test audiences loved it.

Oh and I went to the beach a week ago and got sunburned lobster red, though it's faded to a nice tan that's quite a-peeling. Then I locked myself out of my house, which was shitty, but I got better.

And lastly, I'm SWMing again, which is.... fine.

More recent highlights include being totally broke, not leaving the house yesterday because of laziness and a headache, and watching Dementieva beat Sharapova for the Rogers Cup instead of cleaning the bathroom.

Anyway I'm back hi and did you miss me yes or no?
