 "Pickling is one of the oldest methods of preserving foods. Pickling is the preserving of food in an acid (usually vinegar), and it is this acid environment that prevents undesirable bacteria growth. However, how and what kind of acid gets into the liquid is what can cause some confusion about the use of salt." | ||

You should always be mindful of what acid you put in your body. Don't take the brown acid... | ||

Wise words Mr. Mayor! I thought Brown Acid was a super hero from the 70's. Not sure.  I was at a wedding recently where I was the best man - so I had to give the speech. I had this whole big plan where I was going to break out into song and over do the whole thing Bill Murry style. My family warned my several times not to over do it in the cocktail department or I would go down as a jack-•••. I listened to them. Not sure if I should have.... But when it got to stage time I choked. The room got really small and the silence was over my head. I was pulled out in the riptide of fear. I ended up modifying an old Irish toast w/ just a bunch of stories about the bride and groom's mothers. Oh well. The toast goes something like this: The key to a happy marriage is not to lie, cheat, steal or drink. But if you must lie, lie in eachothers arms. And if you must cheat - cheat death. If you have to steal - steal away from bad company. And if you must drink - drink w/ me. Raise your glasses to the bride and groom. Then. I had a few toasts and danced like no one was looking. That's the way to do it. I did this all with a broken toe. | ||

I got an email asking me for some spelling and grammar clarification. Here is a quick guide: Bill Murray http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000195/ "family warned my" should be "my family warned me" http://tinyurl.com/b181 "I did this all with a broken toe" http://tinyurl.com/a8a9h | ||

 let's hope for a warm ish fall ! | ||
| buzzsaw Citizen Username: Buzzsaw Post Number: 2666 Registered: 5-2001 |
 It really is fall. I got off the train last night and it was just about dark. That's ok. But when I get ON the train when it is dark and OFF the train when it is dark, it's winter - that's not so ok. But hey the world has to keep spinning. Speaking of spinning - someone tried to tell me that President Bush can control the weather and is creating all these hurricanes to make his friends rich. Wow. This person didn't seem to be disoriented or on any drugs that I could tell. It's amazing. I mean sure - we all have views on the president and other things that he can control.....but, controling hurricanes!? Like he works for the Justice League or Leigon of Doom. Wait...that would be cool. | ||

 I have been listening to "long, long, long" from the white album way too much lately. It is such an amaaazing song. It sounds like George Harrison is beaming the song down from heaven. Or something..... We are starting to get into the groove of having two wee ones. Yesterday I said something like, "we can take the kids". KIDS!?! Wow. How did we do that? Good for us. High five! Sleep is a small price to pay for this treasure! Arrrgh matey. This is the last week of September. I am going to do something everyday this week that is extra September! Like: Um... Take the ferry home enjoy the last of my garden have a miller lite (I switch to guiness Oct. 1st) See if heater is working in house wear shorts AND a light jacket say good bye to the ocean sink in the last of the green leaves See about getting a room here: http://www.melodylodge.com/index.html Well that's close to impossbile. I don't see taking a road trip with a new born as fun. Please! If you have a free weekend and want to see upstate and not a lot of people check out the Melody Lodge. Tell Swifty I say hello. Book now to see the leaves at their most colorful! How can there only be 96 days left in this year? | ||

Buzz! I love "Long, Long, Long"! I grew up in a Beatle crazed household, and I always stood by my lone decision as a little girl of that being my favorite White Album song. My brother learned to play it for my birthday a few years ago - it's not an easy song to learn. It's definitely one of my top favorite songs of all time. Cheers. | ||

Buzzsaaaaawwwww...... I was around your neck of the woods today and noticed somebody was at home, so I walked up and rang the doorbell. I talked to Mrs. Buzzsaw for a bit, and I got to hold Patrick too. He looks a lot like you, just needs to grow his hair a bit longer. | ||

 A woman who got on the train a few stops after I got on and sat next to me was doing some really strange stuff. I was sitting in a two seater and she sank right down and started laughing like mad. She had me almost laughing. Then she passed gass. This ruined the mood. A moment later she puts on the headphones and fires up the ipod mini. With in seconds this woman is rocking out. I mean full force boping of the head back and forth and left to right. Evertime she goes left her hair is not just in my limited "personal space" but very close to my mouth and nose (I think she washed w/ pert thing morning). I looked at her hoping that maybe she would see that I was sitting next to her. No luck there. So I put my headphones on. My music started and she started to sing. I started to hum a bit. Then I started tapping my foot to a jagged beat miles off from hers. This messed her up a bit. She was having trouble with the head nods so she kicked it up in the singing department. I took off my headphones and asked her if she knew what time it was. "Honey, it's EARLY" | ||

CONCERNS/FEARS that advertisers exploit for cash and prizes: Are my teeth white enough? Does my laundry have that fresh sent? If a candel shop owner uses this product, shouldn't I? Are my children as happy as this kid with the fruit roll ups? What if I do die? What if I do miss the next episode of Apprentice/Martha Stewart? Is my oven clean? What if my toe nails look like THAT? Do I have enough asprin around the house? Do I eat enough beef? Do I eat enough pork? Do I eat enough fiber? Maybe that car will make me happier? Is the gas I buy helping the enviornment like the gas from BP? Maybe I should be using more plasitc? Is my wife as happy as the woman heating frozen food? Should I get more frozen food? Will there be enough money? Did I pay too much for that muffler? | ||

“I’m praying that you’ll buy “On the Road” and make a movie of it…Don’t worry about the structure, I know [you will have] to compress and rearrange the plot a bit to give a perfectly acceptable move-type structure: making it into one all-inclusive trip instead of the several voyages coast-to-coast in the book, one vast round trip from New York to Denver to Frisco to Mexico to New Orleans to New York again. I visualize the beautiful shots could be made with the camera on the front seat of the car showing the road (day and night) unwinding into the windshield, as Sal and Dean yak. I wanted you to play the part because Dean (as you know) is no dopey hot-trotter but a real intelligent (in fact Jesuit) Irishman. You play Dean and I’ll play Sal (Warner Bros. mentioned I play Sal) and I’ll show you how Dean acts in real life…we can go visit him in Frisco or have him come down to L.A, [he’s] still a real frantic cat… Come on now Marlon, put up your dukes and write!” | ||

Ha. It's hot again. Humid as an August yawn from a big hairy breathy man. And I took my air conditioners out of my window. HA. The more things change, the more they get really humid. I have to say, I am a bit down over here at work. I have to deal with someone who brings in a lot of widgets but is truly a terrible person. Talking to this person makes me want to put my hand in a meat grinder. And while my hand goes in the grinder I am smiling all along. In a recent meeting things got to a head (to use a zit term). My buttons were pressed and I snapped. I do have limits and a certain amount of respect for myself. Now, after freaking out on this person - this person is kissing my •••. And I feel bad. There is an arrow in the air and it is about to land on a bull's eye that will cause anguish for them. Why do I feel bad when this person would throw me under the bus again any way? Who wired me like this? I guess it is better than being a playa hater. I love the playa. What was that quote from the Godfather? Don Corleone: I like to drink wine more than I used to. Michael: It's good for ya, Pop. Don Corleone: Anyway I'm drinkin' more. NO, that's not it - this is it: Don Corleone ".....and good luck to you - as best as your interests don't conflict with my interests." That movie is so good. The second one too. The third one. I actually like also - I just skip the kissing cousins stuff. FAVORITE CURED/SMOKED MEAT: Soprasetta  | ||

The great pumpkin.... I have tons of DVDs and the whole stupid 5.1 stereo set up. I have the triple revvvved up version of 12 monkeys, the whole Star Wars deal remastered to the gills and a bunch of 5.1 audio cd's. But you know what sounds the best? The $9 version of "the great pumpkin Charlie Brown" that I just picked up at the shop rite. The music fills the room. You can see the bass strings. The piano fills the room like one of them fancy candles. The snoopy during WWI segment is crystal. What does this mean? I don't know. | ||

Everyday I walk to work I pass a McDonald's. Everyday I think to myself, "man, i could go for just one sausage biscuit". And everyday I have to tell myself no. EVERYDAY. I have no control over my McDonald's cravings. Why? What is it they put in that food and why can't they put it in my oatmeal? Also during today's walk, A really nice BMW was totally blocking the crosswalk. I am a pedestrian's rights kind of guy. So, when I walked in front of this car I shot the guy a nasty fu kind of look. It was Jim Gandolfini. Now I am a superfan, so I did a double take and he shot me a look worse than what I gave him. Oh well. I still have to wait until March for the next season of the Soprano's. I am just about blind in this eye. No eyeglass can fix it. What's funny is that my vision is how I make a living. Ha!  Albert Watson is blind in one eye. http://www.the-artists.org/ArtistView.cfm?id=8A484BC1-AD6E-45BF-9E9ACD98D8A8BF90 | ||

I just got off the phone with a man who called me "guy" countless times. Things like, "You know guy, we can really do something special with this". Or. "You know what I'm saying, guy". So, I started to tune him off as he talked forever. Soon I had no idea what he was talking about. Next thing I know I hear, "What do you think about that, guy" - then there was silence. He was waiting for me to answer a question I had not even bothered to listen to. I said, "Whatever you think is best" Then he went on talking and talking. Someone smart said, "I think therefore I am". Sometimes I think people need to talk on and on just to prove they are alive. It's not bad. But as Steve Martin said, "next time when you tell a story - have a point, it makes it so much more interesting for the listener" Now. Me. I'd rather write or take pictures for any proof of being. Though when I am doing either one I am breaking Steve Martin's rule. So what. Who's Steve Martin to tell me what to do? Well not Steve - I guess it was Steve's character in Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Great movie. John Candy's best performance. | ||

"When nothing else subsists from the past, after the people are dead, after the things are broken and scattered - the smell and taste of things remain poised a long time, like souls, bearing resiliently, on tiny and almost impalpable drops of their essence, the immense edifice of memory" -Marcel Proust "The Remembrance of Things Past" This time of year really smells good. Maybe it just smells normal and summer, for the most part, smells bad around here (nyc). There are some smells that really take me back and keep memories alive that might otherwise have faded. Music is like that for me, but almost too much. There are songs I love that I can't listen to because they remind me of something I'd like to forget (radiohead amnesiac - sept 11th / neil young trans am - a great friend that passed / cat stevens - a romance that went really ultra sour). My ipod is like that smell machine that the old woman has in the movie harold and maude - it's like flipping through an old photo album. Anyway. I'd like to share some smells with you that will make no sense because they are my memories. Sorry. fried flounder - Grandma's during Lent fresh xerox - 8th grade math aqua velva - great uncle george fresh cinnamon rolls - winter growing up / mom the bread from subway - ellen cinibon - business travel to LA stale beer - briggs ave, erie pa fresh cut grass - Ireland cardboard - the record mill / millburn nj OR queen's sound track to flash gordon new car smell - dad that strange electric smell - hazlet nj apple butter - hoboken mildew - long beach island tom's of maine mint - bolder co melting crayons - st rose school / mrs fitzpatrick hot asphalt - the road dept oatmeal - my current job  | ||

I'm not even sure if gin and vermouth would mix properly in zero G. I had a dream I was in space floating around. At the point I realized it was a dream, I was able to control which direction I went in and could do warp speed and make the stars become lines of light. It was pretty cool even though there was no soundtrack. | ||
