Went to Atlanta this weekend (or Fatlanta, as a local paper dubbed it) for the SE Reigonal Emmys. I wasn't up for anything. I just went to lurk.

Moving on...

Prada Robot Trick

Earlier this year, several people told me (Dinah being the first) about the lovely Prada Robot Keychain-thing. It was gonna get one for my lady-friend, but they're rather expensive. Even on eBay they're like $150 or something. I'm not cheap or aything, but (as much as I love my girlfriend) I can't imagine dropping a few hundred dollars on a stupid purse charm/keychain. However, I found and awesome $10 knock-off in Atlanta. Woot!

bbq chex

Some of you may know about my Chex Mix obsession. I'm not talking about the stuff that you buy in the bag at the store. I'm talkin' about the junk you spend an hour making, and costs you twice as much. I spend every weekend making 2-3 batches of that stuff, so I can gobble it all up by Wednesday of that week.



I've started off with the simple basic recipe, and then I modified it. I keep pushing the envelope on Chex Mix technology, and I'm currently well into Robot's Chex Mix Version 9.3 or something.

Well, Kyann gave me a recipe for BBQ Chex Mix. And, since I live in the South now, I thought, "Right on. I'm gonna make me some Southern BBQ Chex." Anyway, I should've been suspicious when the only real ingredient was BBQ sauce - not the 15 other things that make Chex Mix so delicious.

Anyway, my point is: It's rather disgusting. It tastes like AIDS. Don't be fooled.

[update: I made like 2 big batches of BBQ Chex before I realized it tasted like a moldy sandwich fucked by a hippie bad. But, I decided that I'd give it another shot after letting it sit overnight and "settle" or whatever. It's not as bad as I initially thought, and now I'm kinda gettting weirdly hooked on it. I keep eating it. Does that means it tastes good? I'm still not sure. I haven't given up on it yet.]
