OH BTW I GAVE UP MEAT...

well, umm just red meat + chicken. still down w/ the fish + crustaceans. going out to eat + coming up w/ dinners for brad and i has been kind of tough, since he hasn't given up anything and i don't want him to suffer + starve, but we've been able to manage. hopefully, this will reduce the amount of junk food + greasy goodness intake so 1) i eat better + lose some of this chub, 2) i pick-up some much needed cooking skills + 3) save $ by not gorging ourselves via the drive-thru.

trader joe's has made the transition from meat-eater to veggie/pesce-lover pretty easy. so far so good.

last night's menu included blanched asparagus (lightly dusted w/ garlic salt) and garlic shrimp sitting on a bed of baked sweet potato fries. not bad, eh?

ANGRY BEAVERS BEARS! RAWR!

apparently, they're bears... i'm sure tyler f-ing hates me for calling them beavers, but they're pretty awesome either way!

DON'T LET THE BASTARDS WEAR YOU DOWN!

saw this as someone's signature on one of the forums i follow:
01001001011011000110110001100101011001110110100101 11010001101001011011010111010101110011001000000110 11100110111101101110001000000110001101100001011100 10011000100110111101110010011101010110111001100100 011101010110110100100000011001010111001101110100


saw all the 0's + 1's and knew it was binary so i went to http://www.roubaixinteractive.com/PlayGround/Binary_Conversion/Binary_To_Text.asp to get it translated....

ends up it says:
illegitimus non carborundum est


...had no idea what it meant so i google'd "illegitimus non carborundum est" and went to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegitimi_non_carborundum to get the skinny!

ends up it's a ballsy phrase:
don't let the bastards wear you down


...but whomever came up w/ it was shit-tacular @ latin! read the wiki. it's good shit! i love it when people try to use big words OR say things to make them sound smart, when really they're ass-hats b/c they didn't use the word or phrase correctly.

*a-hem!*
