Not Vaporware… Perhaps

Looks like they finally began work on the Freedom Tower. I’m sure it will be quite a draw when it finally gets finished… in 2012.

Bunky and the Blender

Someone’s been instilling some serious FUD in Bunky about her eating habits, and suddenly she is worried that her arm might just fall off or something. Apparently she is only getting some miniscule amount of nutrition from her diet of snack foods and frozen foods, so this weekend, she had a major impulse to buy a blender.

See, this nice smoothie place opened up right near our apartment a little while ago, and Bunky feels that she could really go for some fresh smoothies every once in a while. So we picked up a blender, and then bought a prodigious amount of fresh and canned fruit (oranges, blueberries, canned lychees, canned pineapples, cantaloupe, pomegranate-cherry juice, nectarines, etc.) as well as some natural yogurt and orange juice concentrate.

The first smoothie was a raspberry, blueberry, orange, and yogurt blend. We forgot to get sugar or honey, but Bunky seemed convinced that it would be fine because the raspberries would add sweetness. Ummm, unfortunately my recollections of the true nature of raspberries was correct, and the smoothie ended up being rather… tart. I’m going to pilfer some sugar packets from the coffee station at work, and maybe the next one will be better.

Our big fear is that we will quickly scrap the smoothie idea and start making milkshakes instead orz.

Getting There!

Bunky just finished her last day of Law School classes! Congrats!

His Name Strikes Fear

There are a lot of cars with vanity plates in Williamsburg, and about 99% of them are extremely dorky. Not all are dorky, however, as some are just strange. Today, as I was driving Bunky to class, we pulled up behind a motorcycle with a vanity plate that read: RECTUM.

Why?!?!
