So in my daze of the inevitable writers block. ( Hey, it was Destined to happen... ) I For once had to actually search out of my normal dwellings on the interwebs and find something to entertain me while at work. In these shortcomings of entertainment/boredom cures I did find quite a few things that i thought i would pass on! so if you do find the little things in life "interesting" as much as i do... by all means, further your useless knowledge file in your brain, and read on!

Rotten tomatoes : 50 movies/50 states

Rotten Tomatoes - it's a website i visit very seldom. But usually if i give it a few months between visits, i might find something interesting enough to share or use as a conversational subject to anyone willing to listen (besides my mirror after a shower). Now this one i thought was quite fun and quite true. Click the link above and follow around to whatever state you want! Now, the reason i got so excited over this was because one of my favorite movies, along with what started showing oregons absolutely stunning coast off to the rest of the world. GOONIES! thats right! out of a few movies i could think of (hunted, short circuit, free willy etc) i'm not too shocked but a little bit surprised! have i seen most of the places in the movie? yes! I Think i need to find a copy of this soon to relive some of my old coastal dwelling days back in the PNW!

CONAN coming to a town near you.

Short, Sweet, but it is true! Conan o'brian is coming to a town near you! if you live NOT where i am currently.. sadness! Basically it is his tour because he does not just want to be sitting around while he is banned from TV. I Heard a story from conan himself. He got down on his knees at the end of his bed and prayed to the lord above. Lords answer? a flying tour poster that once hung on conans wall from "a flock of seagulls" tour of 1984. Holla! he said. and thus, the tour was started.

FOODS!

Now, my Girlfriend and i were watching andrew zimmern tonight for a bit. And as usual, she seems a little bit grossed out by most of it. Which! is completely understandable, shes not a carnivore like your host! cow? chicken? lamb? gator? some bugs? bison? yes please! kangaroo, ostrich? all those werid ones i still have to try. ONE DAY! but it also made me think a bit about some stuff i've always enjoyed and cooked and experimented with.

for 1, Cabeza! it's delicious! basically the boiled head meat, shredded. Along with, i'm pretty sure, Some brain, it's so tender, wonderful and amazing. pair that with some street taco styling and you have me a happy man!

for 2, Lengua, another delicious tender meat (if done correctly) and in basic terms? it's cow tounge, or any tounge for that matter. Still amazes me how many people are scared by things like this! if i didn't say anything and had them try it. They would be stunned at the cut that it was. Then i would tell them, and they would most likely vomit quite a bit. sadness.
