Shape up or ship out

I've come up with two new rules for myself today. I have some bad habits I need to nip in the bud. So, I commit to you blog readers that....

1) I am only going to spend one hour on the internet per day (half an hour in the morning and half an hour in the evening)



and



2) I will not taste the sweet nectar of Dr. Pepper (or any other pop substance...sweet sweet Cherry Coke) unless I have had a full 8 glasses of water to drink for the day already. I am crying right now just thinking about it. This particular rule won't take effect until Tuesday September 2nd, because what's the use of a road trip if you can't wear sunglasses and guzzle cherry coke all the while. I have my standards you know.



More rules to come.

Food Fun with KFC?

I've discussed KFC before, regarding what their name and slogan should be. Not gonna do that today. Instead here's the story from Mediapost about the latest KFC marketing campaign:

KFC Embeds 'Secret Image' In TV Ads, POP Posters

by Nina M. Lentini, Friday, Apr 25, 2008 5:00 AM ET

KFC is at it again. The fast food restaurant with a history of getting consumers to slow down and take a closer look at its ads is launching a new way to engage them. In national TV spots and in-store POP posters promoting its KFC Snacker, the company has embedded a "secret" image. Each day until May 3, the first 1,000 of those who spot the dol ... er, image and go to KFC.com will get a $1 KFC gift check which may be used toward the purchase of a 99-cent Snacker (tax may be extra). So much does the company want people to win Snacker coupons, it gives them the following to choose from when entering the contest online: The Colonel; KFC Bucket; Four Quarters; Dollar Bill; State of Kentucky. In the :30 spot, a trio of young adults discusses the value of a dollar and how it can buy a KFC Snacker. The Snacker is a chicken breast strip with lettuce served on a sesame seed bun that comes in four versions, including BBQ, Honey BBQ and Ultimate Cheese. "We are an innovative, fun brand," spokesperson Rick Maynard tells Marketing Daily. "We like to engage with our customers and get them involved in our promotions." KFC is spreading word of the promotion by emailing its Colonel's Club, which has nearly 1 million members, Maynard says, and at KFC.com. The effort is directed at new customers as well as at fans, he says. "KFC is a dinner brand, and the Snacker line is a lunch item. We want to give people a reason to have lunch at KFC." Previous campaigns, since early 2006, include KFC becoming the first brand to have a logo visible from space, freeze-frame ads that prevented viewers from fast-forwarding with DVR technology, ads embedded with high-pitched ring-tone technology and KFC aroma placement in the halls of corporate America.

AFTER SKOO'

After school was great, and really fun. We went to KFC (maria, stephanie, deborah, and me.) and then deborah got some popcorn chicken, which had a few pieces and we kept laughing at how much the chicken was. XD it was $3.24 while stephanie's kfc snacker was 1.07 and maria's was somewhere in that range. i got a big meal worth $8.00 and we kept laughing at deborah. like, teeheeing. it was great. then after kfc, we laughed at deborah because it looked like she was wearing a dress and it was hilarious. really.

This is just gross

Confessional tripe



My jeans are digging in more than just a little bit after a day-long eating binge. I get like this about three days a month; it takes me the other 27 days to work off the pounds I pack on during these caloric rampages.



Adjectives fail; only a catalog can fully describe my shame.



Today, I ate:



4 Balance bars. I have to quit buying those in bulk; the bag lasts only a couple days, at best.

A regular Coke. I keep them for freinds, but it's a special day.

About four gum balls

4 or 5 steamed dumplings

An ample lunch of fried tilapia and Asian risotto. I cleaned the plate in like five minutes. Wasabi-miso sauce, yum.

An 8-ounce frozen yogurt

A Reese's Cup ice cream bar

A whole bag of black pepper Doritos. A big old bag. It said "No Trans Fat," so what the hell.

4 antacid tablets

A small Cold Stone Creamery sweet cream, with a brownie thrown in.

2 KFC Snacker sandwiches

A piece of Cappuccino cheese cake

An order of pancakes and eggs. Actually, I didn't finish these - they were not good, and even I have my limits.



My repentance begins tomorrow, when all I'll have to eat is a Big Salad for dinner.



I am so ready.

Food Review: McDonald's Southern-Style Chicken Sammich

Hatesexy: eating weird-ass food so you don't have to.



The Southern-Style Chicken Sandwich is the first time in a looooong time I was completely swayed by awesome advertising photography to devour something I normally wouldn't. The billboards and bus-kings are all over LA. I wish I could find an example, but this photo from PR Web is pretty close:







MMMM. Doesn't that look good? That crisp, fluffy bun...that delectable and juicy-looking hunk of meat...those amazing, crunchy-looking pickles...man, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. For weeks now I've been telling Trix that I just had to have one, like immediately. Sensible girl that she is, she told me "Dude, there's no way those things are as good as the photographs."



Last night, though, we found ourselves starving at 10 PM after a dance recital, and so , culinary experimenters that we are, we decided it was time to give 'em a shot.







So how are they?



Well, frankly, I had no idea what "Southern-Style Chicken" was, being, y'now, from about as far North as you can possibly get. Apparently this sandwich was invented to compete with a popular Southern restaurant chain. But hell, when I think Southern Chicken, I think gravy and there's no damn gravy to be seen.



What we have? A buttered bun, two pickle slices, and some chicken. That's it.



It's tiny. Seriously. Its really small. The bun is crisp and fluffy, I suppose, and the meat is juicy. But c'mon, juicy meat at McDonalds? You just know those bastards injected a portion of Mashed, Reprocessed Chickeny-Flavored Meat Goop with 2 gallons of water to make it juicy.



No gravy. I swear, I wanted gravy.



At any rate, end result? It's fairly yummy, but its really just like having a McNugget sandwich, which, y'know, sounds like something you'd concoct if you were really high. "Oh, dude, we have those leftover McNuggets from last night, and a couple buns from the grill-out last weekend. I think there's some pickles. Oh, and margarine!! Let's throw it in the microwave and eat the shit out of that stuff. Puff puff pass, dude, puff puff pass!"



I give it a firm 6 out of 10. Its on the good side of good, but it sure ain't nothin' to write home about.

Like a Rinestone Cowboy

This weekend was fun; on Friday Hooman's family came over, we played 1 vs 100, I was in the mob for a round but I got eliminated on a question about mayonnaise (if I had gotten it right I would have gotten a free arcade game and some ms points), the whole guest stars on 1 vs 100 is anticlimactic -- it would be cool if the final round they were 'the one.' afterward Hooman and I took turns on sets playing some All Pro Football 2k8 online (surprisingly people still play). Even though Madden is arguably a better football simulation, APF2k8 is original in that it attempts to create balanced teams with legends. Here's a related ironic picture:





The next day, after a friend's going-away party we went to Alladdin Gyrocery, I ordered a Jumbo Pita Zaartar even though it was a little expensive for what I received ($5) it was tasty, 8.5/10, I still stand on my point that their gyros aren't very good.



On Sunday I played some Pro Evolution Soccer 08 on Hooman's PS3, fun game but repetitive (but that's typical for soccer / sports games in my opinion). PES08 is very easy to learn to play and the character creation was really detailed; the biggest drawback of this game is the ease of getting red cards (that might say something about how I play.)



Unrelated Sidenote: The title of the post is a song that has been stuck in my head, here it is.

Shelter Updates and Blue BRATT Saturday

Peaches

Jake

This weekend Jake, our longest resident in the shelter thus far, was adopted. His new family has already sent pictures and an update about how happy they are with him. Jake is a black lab mix with lots of energy and sweetnes. They are a very active family who have already gone hiking and fishing with Jake so it sounds like a great fit. Now the dog that has been at the shelter the longest is Peaches, and she will be our new featured dog. She is a sweet dog but a little lively in the kennel and tends to scare people off when they are looking at her. Hopefully, some extra exposure will get her adopted quickly.

This Saturday I snuck away from the house while CornyT and Mame were sleeping and did my morning shift with the doggies. The shelter was a little light on volunteers and I was the only blue BRATT their. I did feel like I was more helpful as a blue BRATT because there were a lot more blue dogs than green dogs. I tried to get as many dogs out as I could in the short 2 and 1/2 hours I was there. However, by the time I left a lot of dogs still needed to get out of the kennels. The whole time it was pretty obvious I was working with a different level of dogs. The most obvious difficult dog was Gypsy, a blonde, six-month old pitbull. She immediately tried to push her limits in the run, she jumped, nipped and ran around like crazy. She ran so much she kicked up a rock that flew back and went straight down her throat causing her to sputter- kind of funny in a sad way:). She was really getting out of control until I remembered another volunteer had walked in her space- kind of pushed her away without giving her any good attention. The results were amazing, she immediately stopped jumping on me and calmed down enough to get her leash on and get her back to the kennels.

The biting and excessive jumping is more of a yellow behavior and I won't be surprised if they do change her color.

Nice try Rocketman

Yves Rossy is some swiss dude that gets thrown out of planes with a backpack on that looks like he has wings. With these wings he can increase his time spent in the air and his ability to cover great distances in a short amount of time. This past week he was able to cross the English Channel with his special wings. I really don't know how I feel about this accomplishment. The amazing thing is that this man is flying, which is tremendous. The boring thing is that his wings aren't real and the person flying isn't me. I am not saying that I don't respect what he is doing. This type of thing reeks of adventure and I bet chicks totally dig it. I am just saying that maybe we should all hold off on giving him handjobs until he does it with naturally grown human wings. Now that would be impressive. I am currently working on growing mine right now.
