So I’m sitting here at my cube, eating a salad from Green, which up until recently has served some pretty tasty fresh-chopped salads. Unfortunately my Chef Jam salad is totally lackluster. What’s more - the chopped portabella mushrooms look like and have the texture of garden slugs. Fantastic! Why am I writing about this? Mainly because I have nothing else to write about at the present time. So Boo to you, Green!
In keeping with the theme, here are some unsavory salad toppings you may want to rethink before using:
- Pork Chops
- Refried Beans
- M&M’s
- Cream of Mushroom Soup
- Dandilions (trust me, they’re NOT edible)
- Pie
- Spaghetti
- Spaghetti Pie
- and of course, Ketchup

* Blub blub * Resurfacing after weeks of non-stop hot co-ed graphic design action. Not really. Well, the design part is true. I can’t honestly back up the hot co-ed part.
During these past weeks, a lot has happened. For one, my good buddy Dave’s baby daughter Hadley contracted Infant Botulism, which can be life-threatening. Things were extremely scary for Dave and his wife Christy for a couple days as they and doctors were struggling to figure out what was wrong with Hadley. After several grueling tests (including a spinal tap), test revealed that Hadley, 4 months old, did in fact have Botulism, which is an incredibly rare disease that only 100 kids per year contract. Treatments immediately began, including an INSANELY expensive serum that most likely won’t be covered by Hadley’s insurance. Yet another shining example of our fantastic health care system. Thankfully, Hadley has recovered over the past week and is doing really well. So well, in fact, that Dave and Christy took her home from the hospital yesterday. Go Hadley!
On a lighter note, I’ve managed to catch some pretty fun shows in the Denver area over the past weeks. My hubby’s new band, Khale, had their first show at the Hi-Dive, followed by their second at the Meadowlark. Both were great, though I have to say their first show was better. Sidenote: they’re covering a Bjork song for their shows - “Hyper-ballad.” It sounds AWESOME.
Wed. night I joined fellow music lovers (my hubby, my boss, Darren, Steve, Matt B. and Nate) for a night of efficient German techno at the Kraftwerk show at the Fillmore. Fantastic! It was really, really fun. And you think it wouldn’t be, with four totally nerdy Germans dressed entirely in black standing completely still on stage for 3 hours. But the music was infectious. And holy God, was there a lot of pot there. I can still smell it.
Here’s to the weekend.

Greetings blog readers -
As you can deduce from the lingering leprechaun-themed site banner, I’m totally in over my head with various other crapola. However I have been hoping to start posting again. Once this special section at work is put to bed and heavily sedated, I will be back at it.
For now, please to enjoy this:
