We hit a team goal last night, so my boss took us to Seattle to celebrate with one of the most high-felutant dinners, ever: Raw Oysters, Escargot, Foie Gras, Tarte Flambé, Salmon Coulibiac, Mini Croissant au Jambon, Moules Marinière, Belgium Fries, Goat Cheese and Garlic Mousse, Fromagère, and Fermiére.

Enjoy your Googling.

Received this little diddy last night:

Please tell me you’ve been to Cowgirls Espresso in Seattle? I want a blog post with pics.

You know who you are.

No, we haven’t. With a Stump down the road and Victrola around the corner, it’s hard to justify going anywhere else.

Mind-blowing secret: I publish these throughout the week on my twitter account as I stumble across them.

Ok, Jasper folks. Tell me about this restaurant. God knows that any business with down home cooking and an uneccesary misspelled name has great potential.

How in the world is this TV going to completely wrap-up in 9 episodes?

Anyone have a theory that you’re still confident about?

Growing up in small town Alabama, one learns to appreciate old stuff with character. Two guys who dig through old collectibles and memorabilia? Yes, please. On the show two “pickers” dig though junk in people houses, paying cash on the spot.

There are two types of people in this world: those are addicted to Diet Coke, and those who are not.

The Diet Coke ad which ran during the Oscars (with incredible music: Sweet Disposition by The Temper Trap) panders to those of us who are addicts, and I’m alright with being pandered to.

The weather was beautiful.

There was plenty of proof at Thursday’s city council meeting that several citizens are upset about a local businessman’s plan to sell alcohol at his store, which is adjacent to a school.

In Seattle many coffee shops offer wine and beer as options. Though I’ve never partaken within a coffee shop, seeing the options on the menu has never phased me. And it doesn’t even slightly offend me.

A business person who wants to sell alcohol close to Carbon Hill High School? Please. Those high school kids will get more Bud Light and Jack Daniel’s from their fathers on any given night of the week than they ever will from a corner shop in Carbon Hill.

Is Carbon Hill just that podunk, or have I grown numb to the alcohol conversation?

I got ill Monday and Tuesday of this week. In my sickened state, these are the movies my clouded mind chose to select via Netflix Instant Queue. I love them all.

Pee Wee’s Big Adventure
The Labyrinth

How many of you alumni would actually be able to pick this out of a lineup?

Any other LOST fans agree?

This is hilarious, though the language won’t be safe for the kids.

Walker County ranks as state’s third unhealthiest in national report.

Kinda makes me proud. Viva la Victoria’s!

Oh, the World Cup is a measly 100 days away, but I’m going to have to spring for this soon.
