Beach season is coming to a close for some folks. How did this summer fly by so fast without my going to the beach more than a few times!? The shame. Whether you’ve been a beach bum or a sun-fearing hermit this summer, you know what I’m talking about when I say that drip sandcastles […]

Videogames and food seem to be parallels in this blog, and for good reason. These two avenues provide some of the most wicked satisfaction available. Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the delight and privilege of making my acquaintance with the new PS3 videogame Soul Calibur IV. “Ugh, another arcade style fighting game?” you […]

My best friend and I have this theory about how the deliciousness level of food goes up significantly when it’s not yours. This manifests itself in two ways:
1. You’re over someone’s house and they have/their family has cooked you a meal. This could be something as simple (yet monumental) as a grilled cheese sandwich, and […]

I’m not the only one that likes elevator buttons!

Honestly, the reason I’ve been putting off writing an entry about elevator buttons is because every single time that I remember that I want to write it and I’m in my office building, I’ve forgotten my camera.

There comes a time in your life when you get a bargain - a really, really good bargain. The best bargains happen when you weren’t expecting them at such magnitude. Old Navy is famous for providing this unsuspected wicked satisfying experience.
I’ll admit, I don’t really shop at Old Navy that much. Their clothes tend to […]

There are few satisfactions in videogames equivalent to that of the Tetris. I went most of my life not even knowing that this magical culmination of perfectly aligned, geometric goodness was actually referred to as a “Tetris”. I thought that was just what the game was called for whatever reason, didn’t question it, and said […]

You know all of those grilled cheese commercials tout how good cheese is for you, particularly if you’re a kid because of all of the calcium and vitamins, and whatnot, and as they’re telling you how great it is, they hypnotize you with that much anticipated shot of someone holding the steaming sandwich, pulling it […]

Peeling a vegetable or fruit with a peeler is wicked satisfying for a lot of reasons. First, you have your whole item that’s just waiting to be peeled. It’s best if you have a nice dirty potato because you can fully appreciate each swipe of the blade as it exposes the shiny clean potato underneath. […]
