Peanut butter is not dessert

If you want to read about what I ate last week while I was in Las Vegas attending a conference check out what my colleague Dana wrote on her food blog.

I have a lot of food rules but Dana and Jonathan were excellent sports and wonderful dining companions.

Al Watan in the house!

Wonderful meal last night with Alex and Bay. Takeout from Al Watan.

- Hummus (both kinds)

Chicken Soup
What was going around finally took me down. My cure: Soup and television.

The Wire
HBO's landmark series about Baltimore is one of the best things I've seen in a while. I only started watching during season 4 and now I can't miss a second of season 5. I'm sad it's ending in two more episodes. Favorite character: Bubbles.

Letters from Iwo Jima
Wow. Ken Watanabe. Wow. He really is the last samurai. Wow.

Make Me A Supermodel
Okay, okay. I tried to resist Bravo's latest reality series but once I saw 15 minutes I had to DVR everything. And watch it more than once. I like the boys best. But I don't like the viewer voting part. Someone else judge please! I just like to watch.

Abject failure

I tried hard to have a computer-free weekend.

But I woke up late this Sunday morning with itchy fingers and intense guilt over my lack of blogisity lately.

I've been READING blogs but I just haven't written anything. I think I will blame it on the writer's strike (solidarity forever) or laziness or the lack of vermouth in the house. I might also blame it on snow days, birthdays, long work days or a boring life.
