Originally that song was going to be called "addicted to drugs" and be about Palmer's addiction to drugs but he decided better of it and toned it down some.

As for the facial hair thing, I get carded no matter if i've got facial hair or not so I don't bother with shaving very often. I did shave a bit a while ago and now have some stubble.

Just had a great Cuban sandwich from the local Cuban resturant. It's the bomb I would have eaten 3 of these monsters if I could afford it.

I've never eaten at a Cuban place, but I have had the Cuban Chicken Panini from Panera and a Cuban Chicken sandwich from Cheesecake Factory and both of those were delicious.

I've been in a Panera ONCE, and it was only for the wi-fi. Is it any good?

I like it. I know people that don't.

It's overpriced, definitely, but I love the half-sandwich/cup-of-soup combo.


On the Twitter front, just got one of my suggestions retweeted by one of my favorite new authors, Joe Hill (author of Heart Shaped Box and Horns, and 20th Century Ghosts...Stephen King's son). Woo.

It's good, but ridiculously expensive. I haven't eaten it since I worked there and got a 65% discount.

Re: Off Topic 2011

I was watching an Argentinian soccer program to know more about the Copa América games and suddenly they began talking about if Argentinian families eat pasta or asado on sundays' lunch. At the beginning it seemed stupid to me but it made me think. Here (Argentina and Uruguay at least), Sunday is the family day of the week when many members (or the closest ones) of a family join together on one of their houses and spend from midday up to the evening eating (mainly pasta or asado) and sharing some quality time. It's a tradition that came with the italian inmigrants that came here during the first half of the XX century, and I thought about how much it impacted to our society the things that foreigns bring with them.

Do you have any type of tradition on Sundays?

Sunday NFL when football season is in. That is all.



Really though, Sunday is our relax day. I usually BBQ (depending on the weather) or cook some large type meal. But either way I'm the one doing the cooking. I've done everything from sushi and tempura shrimp to Chicken Mole or even Salmon Florentine and Angel Hair Pasta. Whatever I'm in the mood for. After a fairly early dinner it's a walk around the niehborhood and then bath's for the kids, simpsons, and well...bedtime .

That's out typical Sunday. Not really a "tradition", but we've been doing the same thing for many years now.

Isn't Joe Hill a pesuedonym and he is actually Stephen King's son? I actually got my mom "Heart Shaped Box" for Mothers Day the year it came out. She'd rented it from the library but never finished it before having to return it, so I bought it for her.

My mom's, dad's parents were Italian immigrants and back when my great-grandfather was still alive (before I was born) he used to make homemade pasta from scratch and they would get together for a Sunday dinner every week. My great grandfather would apparently keep putting more pasta on everyones plate whether they wanted more or not, and as a consequence my dad (who I inherited my huge appetite from) was apparently the only person who would sit next to him.

"Stephen King's song" in my post should be "Stephen King's son."

And "Heart Shaped Box" is one of the only books that I've ever felt...uneasy/scared while reading. Had me freaking out at a few parts. Damn good book.
