I Want A Moistmaker

Thanksgiving is over. The next excuse to eat and eat and eat and eat is in....3 days? Hanukkah!


Not too bad!/This is really bad.

 This Thanksgiving was pretty intense, food-wise that is. Although the actual Thanksgiving dinner is absolutely amazing, the leftovers are probably my favorite.
The Friendly's 4AM Black Friday Buffet wasn't worth it. Probably the most disgusting meal I've ever eaten. That whole excursion was miserable. I was too tired to think let alone actually be in an adequate state to purchase things?? Yeah right.

I so would have rather eaten a Moistmaker. The name sounds disgusting. A Moistmaker? Are you kidding???
But ever since Ross obsessed over his Moistmaker on Friends, I feel like the Moistmaker is such a cultural symbol.

So! If you already miss Thanksgiving and need a consolation, I found a recipe for a Moistmaker. Please don't use leftover turkey, though. It's almost the next Tuesday. That's disgusting.


The Moistmaker


Ingredients
-Gravy

2.Soak 1 slice of bread with gravy thoroughly.
3.Layer as much turkey or tofurkey on the other slices of bread as desired.

Thank you WikiHow for reminding me that I could very well eat a huge turkey bone, and that I have to have a plate. I never would have been able to succeed without you.

Love,
Natalie

Taking a Break

This week isn't good for either of us, so we're thinking Monday-Friday break.

Don't miss us too much. We'll be back next week, better than ever!

P.S.
During this time, see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. You will not regret it.

PS- I just realized: It's past midnight, it's my day.

I have a clear conscience! 

Home is Wherever I'm With You

Driving with my dad. Lost in the woods.
I turned on the radio, and Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros came on. Home. This would have been totally normal. Home is a good song. I would have listened to it while semi-panicking about being lost in the woods.
But instead, I turned to my dad.
"This is that band you really like!"


My father likes Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros.
He's not a hippie. He's not a hipster. He doesn't try to act young- quite the opposite in fact. But he really likes Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros. Granted, he's only heard Home and Janglin, as far as I know. For all I know, he could have a secret stash of all things Edward Sharpe at his office.

I fully understand why, though. It's the nostalgia their music brings back. I remember when my dad first heard Home, he said that it sounded like old country music. It does. The more I listen to it, the more I find that they draw on music from the past.

The casual-ness reminds me of the Rolling Stones (I'm pretty sure that members of both bands are on some kind of illegal substance), or the Beatles on the Black Album. It was casual; it was fun. The bands of their time seemed to want to make music to satisfy their passion. Go here (click here). Just look at what comes up. They are the hippies from my dad's generation. They totally could run with Ken Kesey & The Merry Pranksters (who were the ultimate tripping hippies).

I think that when my dad listens to Edward Sharp & The Magnetic Zeros, it gives him a pathway to relate to the culture of my generation. We listen to them, and so can he. I feel as though they have created a really strong bridge between my dad's stack of records in the living room to my iTunes library.

I like them. I feel as though if I had never heard them before, I couldn't guess who's generation they came from. They're taking music back to simplicity. Back to where it was a group of people in a room with guitars and cowbells and washboards, creating wonderful sounds.

I think I know what I'm getting my dad for Christmas.
They sell a Vinyl LP on their website.

Thanks to Loretta, here is some quality Harry Potter related material to read while we are watching the movie.

The Chipmunk and the PIMP

So once upon a time, there was a chipmunk and a rabbit who were in an awkward relationship. The chipmunk thought that the two were going steady, although the relationship was controversial as it was inter-species. The rabbit on the other hand, was a P I M P.
One nice sunny day, underneath a rainbow ("What does it mean!?"), the chipmunk saw the rabbit walking around with a cougar and a swan. The chipmunk got incredibly mad because the rabbit was with other females!
After being confronted by the chipmunk, the rabbit said,
 "I'm sorry, I'm just a Heartbreaker, Baby ! I can't change my pimping habits, We R Who We R and there's nothing I can do about it!"
The chipmunk thought she was putting in all the effort into the whole relationship. She was doing all the work. "All you ever do is Part and Bullshit in The USA, you could at least mix it up and go to Canada or Cuba or something!"
The pimp rabbit decided to stop pimping for the moment, and the two lovebirds (or chipmunk/rabbits, whatever) took a party bus from Silvia 2 Ibiza .
They Partied and Bullshitted for months and months to come.
Until the rabbit and chipmunk had a baby liger.

What a nice story.

Dear Girl Talk,

I love you, man.

Even though you 'broke the internet' with your new CD All Day.

Seriously, so good.

It makes it even better that it was a surprise CD.

Thank you for making my day that much more fantastic.

-Ameera

P.S. If you don't have Feed the Animals by Girl Talk, get that too.


ALSO, Beatles on iTunes? About time!
