google isn't so smart
these google guys have some algorithm to figure out what kinds of adds to put on. so wrong. when i last checked it was lake sammamish real estate and some christ mosaic church. could they be more wrong? as one person (me) put it: "i cannot be deciphered by any mortal algorithm."
what's up with blog spam? or spam in general. spam existed long before the internet. telemarketers? spam. direct mailings? spam. and so now they spam my blog. frank wrote me a nice comment about working from home. who do they think they're kidding? obviously SOME people must click their links and buy their shit 'cause otherwise they'd give up. right? i mean, it's an obvious market/evolution thing. but maybe the barrier to entry is so low that they can afford to fail 99% of the time. i want that kind of job. i can fail 99% of the time and still make money. then, all i'd have to do is figure out the key to that 1% success and i'd have it. work smarter, not harder. here's a guy who's working smarter (well at least not too hard).
so, what are my plans for today? well,i should unpack more. after dropping michelle at the bus stop, i brought more stuff back. so i'll go through all that. almost done moving my stuff in. that's the easy part, really. the a/c adapter for my computer should arrive today. yeah, dell. i ordered a new battery and a/c adapter but instead of an adapter, they sent me a mouse. right on. when i ordered a computer for my brother, they sent the computer to some guy in las vegas. no idea how that happened. in fact, every order i've made from dell has been screwed up in some way.
what's a guy to listen to when it is cloudy, windy and rainy? thelonious monk. better git it in your soul. actually, that's charles mingus.
got a recipe for you folks. this is a little ditty i made up after perusing a few at www.epicurious.com. steak salad with scallions. get a steak, i don't know what kind (i don't know anything about steak). salt and pepper the steak and cook it in a pan with some oil. take the steak out and make a tent over it with foil. reduce the heat on the pan and add lots of finely sliced (not diced) scallions. caramelize those babys. when they're good and sweet, add about a quarter to a half cup of wine (i used merlot, it seems to be the choice, but any dry red wine ought to work). simmer that until is is reduced by half. add 3/4 cup beef stock and reduce that by half. while all that is going on, slice your steak and arrange it over a generous bed of arugula or other green. when sauce is done, pour over your salad. drink what is left of your wine. i'm a cat3 cook. if you want recipes from a cat1 cook, check out phatduck.blogspot.com. her blog is really a lot more interesting than mine. huh.
