A new project(s)

Perhaps it's the Monster Energy drink and it's massive amounts of ginseng, caffeine and those two other "-ine" ingredients that are suddenly the fashionable addatives to have in your tweak juice (what happened to good 'ole Red #5 and Yellow #2?) that is now coursing through my veins, or maybe it's because as the night goes on I tend to turn up the internal dialogue and contemplate a bit more... Either way, I've realized two things: #1 This is one of the longest sentences I've blogged out (I feel as though I've broken some gramatical law with this beast, there should be a period in this mess somewhere right?) AND #2 My last of 3 blogs for the day has morphed into 2 thoughts.     *I can feel my brothers rolling their eyes "Get to the point!"* 

At the risk of taunting my OCD, I am too tired to create a 4th posting for the day and will mash both thoughts into one.  *Daaaahhhh, I'm already feeling guilty about it!*

First off ,the most recent of the two thoughts, as it has not yet had anough time to bounce about the inside of my skull and reach maturity... therefore it is the shortest of the two.

Joseph Gordon Levitt had a Tweet (Mom, a Tweet is a posting on the Twitter website) yesterday about the "Yoko Ono Project" complete with this picture:

And I thought, "Hmmm, I think I want to try that."   Of course one day into it, and after a few Google searches, I have come to realize that this is but the tip of an iceberg.  This iceberg is called "100 Acorns" by Yoko Ono, a book written in 1996 as a follow up to Yoko's other book of conceptual instructions, "GRAPEFRUIT" that was first published in 1964.  *gotta love the 60s*


Once again I'd like to push a bit of blame onto my previously mentioned beverage, as I have decided not only to undertake Cleaning Piece III but also the ENTIRE 100 Acorns... and you guessed it... blog about it.

However since this really isn't a "Morris Tribe" event I've created another blog to accomodate it.

As much as I wish that you'd all quickly click on that link and add it to your Follow list I realize that some of you won't, and that's OK. Let me just say this though, if nothing else it's sure to be a learning experience, you may find out something about me that you never knew.

~~~~~~And here is my OCD attempt at separating two thoughts in one posting  * still feeling guilty*~~~~~

And now for something completely different !!! *queue the Monty Python disembodied legs and other oddities*

I have become the victim of a cruel joke... Eric, with no effort at all, has managed to drop 25lbs in the first 4 months of living in Seattle.  Cruel, cruel, cruel joke....     As some of you recall, he really doesn't have 25lbs to lose. In my attempt to pull a Gingerbread House Witch act and fatten him back up, I was faced with the issue of "portablility".  He needs something to eat while on the go.

I spent an entire morning contemplating this while getting ready for work, and while I'd love to entertain you with the inner dialogue of my head, I'd like to avoid too many instances of incriminating evidence should a mental eval be on the menu any time soon.  :)

I settled on Spam Musubi. Now, for those of you who have never been to Hawaii, I lifted this off Wikipedia to save myself the trouble of explaining it:

Spam musubi (pronounced Moo soo bee) is a very popular snack and lunch food in Hawaii made in the tradition of Japanese onigiri, also known as a musubi. Spam musubi is composed of a block of salted rice with a slice of Spam (heated or unheated) on top and typically nori (seaweed) surrounding it to keep its shape.

Unfortunately the musubi in this picture (which is the compeltely normal way it should be) is NOT like the musubi that Eric used to buy from Sam's Store in Laie... and therefore unacceptable to his delicate palate.  So I sent myself to MusuSkool to become a MusuMaster!  *yet another activity that went on entirely in my own head... I really just wanted a chance to use as many Musu-word-combos as possible*

Level One - MusuNewbie.    First day spent with Eric hovering over my shoulder trying to tell me what he wanted and how he wanted in prepared.  In the end, SUCCESS! He called from work to say they were perfect!

*Mario growing mushroom noise*  .oO

Level Two - MusuNovice.   

Today I attempted to make a 'double batch' of eggs and ended up burning, smashing, utterly destroying six products of some chicken's hard work...

*Mario Bros shrinking noise* Oo.
