Everything Tastes Good With Sugar and Ice Cream. Especially Babies!
First things first, please observe my sidebar carefully and visit KizzyKim’s diary and xanga. She has a passion for theater which shows in her entries and her stunning personality. She entertains me, in a dirty way, during my long hours at work. Visit her, bookmark her and thank me later.
After class on Thursday, I headed over to my boyfriend’s house to cook some dinner and watch a movie. A next door neighbor had invited himself over to chat and help out with making french fries and burgers. After peeling the potatos, he picked up the skin and told us that frying the skins and covering them with cinnamon and sugar would make a delicious addition to ice cream scoops. He had seen the trick on Iron Chef and insisted that he couldn’t have ice cream any other way. This sounds understandably gross but we decided to trust our new friend (who is quite the cooking enthusiast) and fried up some skins for the eating. It turned out very well and was a unique way to dress up vanilla ice cream.
My boyfriend’s blue cellphone cozy is complete. I made the huge mistake of binding off too tightly which resulted in an uneven edge. It could definately look better but it serves its purpose (other than forcing my boyfriend to exhibit my knitting skillz, I’m not entirely sure what purpose that is).
I spent Saturday with a friend at Tampa’s Bodies exhibit. The Museum of Science and Industry hosted the exhibition which displays cadavers in various forms of dissection preserved in a type of polymer. This sounds gross and, indeed, it looks gross but the results are fascinating. The exhibit is so extensive that it’s almost overwhelming. There’s a body on display for every system: circulatory, muscular, skeletal and respitory. While I have no objection to bodies being used for scientific purposes (despite all the hoopla), I do object to bringing babies into the Fetal Development section of the exhibit. Somehow carrying in your 4-month-old to check out the other babies who didn’t make it seems, oh I don’t know, creepy. That’s like making a cow eat beef.
Cappycom is starting to warm up his domain with his latest entry on the Playstation 2 game, We Love Katamari. Cappy’s entries make you want to play and more importantly, you will want to play with him. He recieved Guitar Hero for his 24th birthday and will surely expand on its addictive gameplay.
As part of a field study for my Peru As a Global Culture anthropology course, I will be leaving for Peru on Friday. My classmates and I will be staying in Lima for the better part of 10 days and traveling the country side to places like Machu Pichu, Lake Titicaca and Cuzco. If all goes well, I’ll return with 4gigs worth of Peruvian photos and maybe a little llama spit in a jar.

Q: What kind of nut job would bring a 4 month old to look at chopped up corpses of other children?
A: Me.
. . . but we’d get potato ice cream afterwards.
Please be careful in Peru, Mari. Don’t become a drug mule.

As a half-Peruvian I have to say that you will only love Machu Picchu… enjoy the cocoa leave tea and the high altitude. Lima is nice, but Cuzco is awesome.

Really? About the potato skin? O_o Hmm. I dunno, I guess it might taste great with the cinnamon and suger…
And yes, that does sound disturbing, bringing a baby to the baby part of the exhibition. xD Although, maybe they’re too young to recognise what the things are. Heh, I dunno.

Hmm, that bodies exhibit is done by that creepy German guy and his frightening wife, yes? I watched a documentary on NG a while ago where he explained the whole process. He’s seriously in love with his work, I’ll give him that…
Methinks you ought to be back right about now, right? Plz to be sharing those Peruvian pictures as soon as you recover from jetlag and other travel-related discomforts.

Potato skin? That guy has some problems, hell make sure you don’t take him to a bar mitzvah. He might think sugar and cinnamon taste great with any left over skin.
