What day is it?

Holy crap it's Thursday?

Oddly, the days of the week have lost all meaning to me. In retrospect, my work Outlook Calendar ruled my life and meetings dictated what I was going to do for the day. I remember when I would only have one meeting on the calendar, it was like getting a warm hug from God. Today, it's like doing running high fives with him.

So you guys know I used to be fat right? Yep. I was what they call in the fashion industry "Husky". I was a round boy, with a bowl cut. I recall my mom correcting me at Kohls, to try husky pants rather than normal sized pants. Well if I kept up this food excursion I've been on, I'll be walking down memory lane at Kohls.

This Elderberry Macaroon from Cupcake in the Mall of America caught my eye. I love all things blue food coloring. Consequently, my tongue ended up matching my sweater. The MOA also had Masu, a Japanese Raman joint. Their food was good, but the broth needed to be hotter, temp wise.

You gotta taste this blue food coloring

Phase 1 of turning into a Smurf

I guess you can fill a store with just Peeps

Is this why oil and plastic prices are up?

Itadakimasu!

I watched two films the last two days. Yes I said "films". Makes me sound more elite before I tell you which movies they were. Beautiful Creatures and Cloud Atlas. Both movies, not the best. The story sounded decent based on the synopsis, but I was tricked by the movie industry once again! 

Kyle Gallner was in Beautiful Creatures. I've seen him in other films, most of which *Spoiler Alert* he dies...horribly. I'm glad to not see him scream in pain in this one.

Yesterday, I also met up a old co-worker for lunch (I had a cubano sandwich, nom nom nom). A fellow colleague who left a while back to to pursue another career path in life. It was awesome and great to compare life adventures and catching up.

It occurred to me last night that I have a sh*t ton of ties. This is what 4.5 years of the corporate industry has lead me to. Great, I can start wearing ties with jeans in casual settings like someone from a J. Crew catalog, but more Asian.

This would be categorized as "First world problem"
