So here it is the beginning of a new year for me, and I have decided to start actually keeping a BLOG. I remember when they were just called journals, like on Doogie Howser M.D.

Anyways, so I'm talking to my mom on the phone and she (being a dental professional) says that earlier in the week she noticed that my gums were darker. I was outside smoking While on the phone with her and didn't really take it seriously until I checked the mirror. Stunning resluts, she's right AGAIN! Why does mom have to be right all the time? So far I have been very much aware of every puff, and although I've cut WAY down since moving in with the girl (you'll learn more about her later) because I can't smoke in the house, this news has started to frighten me. My gums are dark at a cellular level. So there is that.

On a positive note. I've narrowed down the choices that I want to get myself for the winter holiday. Either the Archos personal video player/recorder 20 gig, the Lyra version (also 20 gig), or a Replay TV cause it's a lot easier to hack than the TIVO. Of course both of them are out of my budget, I'm thinking of using my security deposit for most of it unless i decide to get a new comp.

No recipes today, but I will put up the lamb chop recipe i did last week, I dont know who it was but a wise man once said that the greatest relationships are based on food.

Rentals so far this week:
The Whole Nine Yards
Bruce Almighty
I'll post my feelings on these later. The last rental The Kid Stays In The Picture was fabulously good, Highly recommended.

I always liked the sorta quote thing that Doogie did at the end of his show so here's one to start with:
"I feel sorry for people who don't drink, besause when they wake up that's the best they're going to feel all day" Mr. Frank Sinatra
