sick of waiting for the microwave at work?

and bologna sandwiches?

i was very sick of waiting (the wait is approximately 1.5 hours for the microwave and the line starts at 11:45am). i also didn't want to go the ramen route, b/c that gets old fast.

so, what is a hungry, microwaveless, fickle worker to do? well, buy as many varieties of Dr. McDouggall's Vegan soups as possible. you just need hot water. they are amazingly delicious, and with all of the fiber and protein from the beans/lentils, sufficiently filling. can't say enough also about how healthy and lean they are (up to 200 calories). my favorites: split pea, and the black bean.

don't get me wrong, i'm no vegan, or even vegetarian, but i'm also not missing the meat from these yummy and comforting soup lunches.

they're at some, but not all grocery stores in the soup isle. click here to locate near you.

joel mchale on rachel ray: skip it.

the look on his face is rather telling. this is the same look he had on his face throughout the interview. friendly, but as if someone poured 2 cups of thumbtacks into his whitey tighties. he was the g-rated mini-version of the joel mchale we know and love, which was pretty sparing, considering ray ray didn't really let him get many words in edgewise.

if he was commenting on his visit, i'd imagine that he'd mention that ray ray was slowly pulling out his pubic hairs underneath the interviewing desk for the entirety of the interview. it just seemed painful. maybe it wasn't for him, but it was to watch. that won't stop me from watching "community", but i hope joel gets to keep his perry ellis wardrobe when lucifer comes for his soul somewhere in the process of doing press rounds. i don't mean to treat him as if he's died, but by the vacant look in his eyes, something in him died when he came in for the first hug.

bullet control

i just read an article about a bullet shortage in america. apparently, when dem's enter the white house, guns & ammo officially become the hottest fashion accessories since the tshirt clip (to jog your memory: LINK). in an average year, there are about 7 billion rounds of ammunition, but this year, the figure will be closer to 9 billion rounds, according to an NRA spokesperson. bullet makers are having all kinds of trouble keeping up with demand. with the high demand, the price of lead is also making its way up. this problem will not keep me up at night. we're in a shit economy, so i have to admit that it's nice to hear when an industry is thriving. it does, however, make me think of something chris rock says in "bigger & blacker".

"Everybody is talking about gun control. Got to control the guns. Fuck, that, I like guns. If you've got a gun, you don't need to work out! Cause, I ain't working out. I ain't jogging. No, I think we need some bullet control. I think every bullet should cost five thousand dollars. Five thousand dollars for a bullet. Know why? Cos if a bullet cost five thousand dollars, there'd be no more innocent by-standers. That'd be it. Some guy'd be shot you'd be all 'Damn, he must've done something, he's got fifty thousand dollars worth of bullets in his ass!' And people'd think before they shot someone 'Man I will blow your fucking head off, if I could afford it. I'm gonna get me a second job, start saving up, and you a dead man. You'd better hope I don't get no bullets on lay-away!' And even if you get shot you wouldn't need to go to the emergency room. Whoever shot you'd take their bullet back. 'I believe you got my property?'"

mr. rock, i think you're on to something. remind me to open a bullet shop next time a dem is elected into office. momma needs a new house.
