One More for the Road

is good. 

I'm briefly coming out of my Vox cocoon to proudly exclaim that today in Virginia it is 80 DEGREES! Tomorrow is my 25th birthday and the beautiful and record breaking weather is present enough. Well, besides the drinkies :)

On a side note, I'm reading that Dirt book about Motley Crue and to tell you the truth if I wrote a book about my life it would far surpass the craziness in that book. I know I'm a very private person, but its difficult for me to open up about my life experiences. The pain has been suppressed, but the happiness is what really matters.

Cheers!

They suck.
Suck
SUCK
SUUUUUCK

Somewhere, someone is thinking of every other girl in the world except me.

Its 11:11
Make a wish!

Watched the first episode of Heroes last night and I can definitely see why people love this show. Its insane. It makes me wonder just how many people really and truly feel the "I'm special and meant for greatness" vibe running through their veins...

Who's the coolest culinary celebrity?

My dad. Okay, so he's not a celebrity per se but he's such a great chef. He comes up with the best recipes or alters simple ones to make them tastier. He graduated from a culinary school in Austin when I was younger and ever since he's been cooking away! He tells me he wants to publish a couple of books- one a recipe book and the other his cooking autobiography if you will. He was always the one who made me taste things I was too scared to try on my own when I was little, which is why I love trying new things all the time. One of my biggest pet peeves is picky eaters. He's also the coolest because well, what chef in his 50's has gauged earrings and tattoos and a big biker moustache? My pops. Love him.

Now for the "real" answer: I love love LOVE the Food Network- like I said before its like my own personal porn that I oooh and ahhhh over. I've always loved Giada De Laurentiis. She's cute and makes authentic Italian food. Plus, if you've ever watched her show- I just adore how its filmed. I dont even know how to describe it other than sumptuous.

Nigella Lawson is my second favorite. Her books are gorgeous and I love her show (when I used to have cable). Not to mention she has a beautiful figure. I like how she sneaks into the fridge late at night to eat what she prepared that day.

I'm big on late night snacks ;)

Do professional athletes make too much money, or do they deserve every penny?  Why?

My guy friend is really into sports so we have this discussion quite often. I believe yes, professional athletes make too much money. But I also believe that celebrities make too much money. In a perfect world teachers would make more money than athletes. But, sports are huge here and its part of "Americana" so to speak so really no one can bitch because its us who watch it, buy the merchandise, place bets, etc. I think professional athletes work damn hard to get where they are in most cases so their payoff should be big- just not what its at right now.

What's the greatest video game console on the market? Do you own it or is it on your wish list?

I like the old school video game consoles, but I'm REALLY wanting a WII because I want that damn Cooking Mama game!!

I'm still drunk from last night.
