I ran out of cereal at home, so I'm having a muffin at my desk right now. This usually predicts a late lunch.

I made a grilled cheese sandwich with mustard and fake ham before I left the house today. However, I have no effective way to warm it up here at work, only a microwave, which would make it soggy, so I will probably have to eat it room-temperature.
I made a bitchin' white pizza on Friday. I roasted a head of garlic and put that whole thing on there.

Pastrami on rye + a couple of cheese blintzes, maybe some kugel to go
my standard is a reuben (whole), side of potato salad, Cel-Ray.
― kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 15:34 (seventeen years ago) link
what is it about Cel-Ray? It's clearly the weirdest soda ever made. But after one sip, it's not weird anymore. It's delish.

These didn't show up for some reason:

Ok, stressful meeting was followed immediately by awesome meeting. My boss called me into her office to offer me work on the side. It's some giant resort-hotel-tourist-trap going up in the Dominican Republic, and Mr. Property Owner needs a website. She's doing the brochures, I'll do the web work. We've been slow lately, so I have the time, and now the permission, to work on this during work hours. This is awesome for two reasons: 1) It looks like fun work. 2) It somewhat eases my anxiety about the possibility that the entire marketing department could be fired tomorrow. Which sounds like paranoia, but you don't know the half of it. So my boss, with a little wink-wink nudge-nudge, intimated to me that if I do good work on this side project, there will be more work to come that is not related to this company at all. I'm so happy I could do a little dance. Maybe I will.

I watched the Man Who Wasn't There Last Night. I was into it, but it seemed to set itself up as a kind of movie that it turned out not to be.
― Jordan, Monday, 27 August 2007 15:53 (seventeen years ago) link
Yeah, it sets itself up as interesting.

So last night my friends John and Jenn and their little kid Ada brought over some really, really good smoked cheddar popcorn.

I subsisted entirely on party food this weekend, without cooking or purchasing any of my own food until Sunday night. Hundreds of chips, lots of salsa and taco dip, turkey necks, Spanish chorizo, shrimp, empanadas (the last party really came through with the tapas), etc.
― Jordan, Monday, 27 August 2007 16:08 (seventeen years ago) link
xpost OMG that shit was awesome. They said they got it at Dominick's... I have already planned to share some with family and friends. I think I might buy a bunch of it and bring it home for Christmas.
― kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 16:09 (seventeen years ago) link
only downside: since it's popcorn, it's not filling enough to make you stop eating it. Eric and I went through a whole bag.
― kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 16:17 (seventeen years ago) link
Popcorn makes me feel kind of gross when I eat more than a few handfuls of it. We snuck illicit Twizzlers and Raisenets into the Logan on Saturday.
― n/a, Monday, 27 August 2007 16:23 (seventeen years ago) link
mmm... forbidden twizzler.
― kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 16:24 (seventeen years ago) link
I like to smuggle in foods that aren't even vaguely movie theater-related. Last time it was a toasted bagel w/ tomato & salmon. Before that probably beef jerky and Chips Ahoy, or something. I don't like sweets, and the "butter" syrup for popcorn gives me horrible stomach cramps.

I liked The Man Who Wasn't There.
I love the guileless way Scarlett Johansson says, "No, sir, it was written by a man named Ludwig van Beethoven."

me: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGRRRRGGHGHHG
Jen: que? me: i just entered a TON of billable time the field where you enter time looks like this 00:00:00 so for 15 minutes, guess whta the fuck i entered??? 00:00:15 -- 15 seconds by the way, 15 seconds of an attorney's time will run you around $3.75
Jen: haha i'm laughing at that last joke not at your mistake which is too bad
me: why the FUCK does this need a seconds field???

Sarah and I have very different views on movie snacking. My family would never buy concessions when we went to the movies, while Sarah's family is very big on buying popcorn EVERY TIME you go to the movie, and sometimes candy too. I think Sarah's dad goes to movies just to have an excuse to eat popcorn.
― n/a, Monday, 27 August 2007 16:32 (seventeen years ago) link
I like the WTF UFO part in The Man Who Wasn't There.
― n/a, Monday, 27 August 2007 16:34 (seventeen years ago) link
I like movies best without snacks or drinks. Drinks means having to pee sometime before the movie's done. Snacks mean eating. And doubling the price of a night out. A curmudgeonly miser, I know.

Mine neither. I think the last time I bought popcorn at a movie was when Kr and I saw Children of Men downtown, just because it was in the middle of the afternoon and we hadn't had lunch or something.
― jaymc, Monday, 27 August 2007 16:38 (seventeen years ago) link
Drinks means having to pee sometime before the movie's done.
YES.
I don't care for popcorn too much, so I don't buy it. Usually I bring my own snacks and more often than not, (esp. when I go w/ Courtney) we bring wine. Great times, but talk about having to pee.
― Jesse, Monday, 27 August 2007 16:39 (seventeen years ago) link
I'd rather not.
― jaymc, Monday, 27 August 2007 16:40 (seventeen years ago) link
No, you're right. If I'm going to eat at the movies, I get a hot dog and always finish it during the previews. I do not need a sugar rush while watching a movie or really anytime ever, and laurel otm about that filthy artificial butter crap.

Last night Kenan and I double-teamed the cat I'm sitting for, affection wise.

A BAGEL, Laurel? But the point of movie snacks are to last for awhile during the movie.
These days I don't buy snacks or drinks there, but on a date a few months ago we snuck in a huge back of pretzel sticks & and bottle of mustard. :>
― Jordan, Monday, 27 August 2007 16:41 (seventeen years ago) link
that's because the prices are like something out of a Zucker movie. There is no excuse for buying candy and soda at the movies; you may as well set a ten dollar bill on fire.
― kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 16:42 (seventeen years ago) link
I like to have a drink because I get thirsty really easily. It's a constant battle between the fear of getting thirsty in the middle of the movie and the fear of having to go to the bathroom during the climactic moment.

I haven't been to the Sundance theater here yet but I heard they use real butter on the popcorn.
― Jordan, Monday, 27 August 2007 16:43 (seventeen years ago) link
xxp Yeah, my dad was big on no soft drinks at restaurants, too.

A New York-style bagel piled with cream cheese and salmon?? That shit lasted for hours, I nibbled away at it. Hey, I was hungover and it was a retardedly bright and sunny and hot and windy day -- basically an assault on all senses -- and crm cheese/tomato/lox is my hangover cure: salt, protein, and richness, but not too stomach-challenging.
― Laurel, Monday, 27 August 2007 16:44 (seventeen years ago) link
Wow, I don't thing a bagel has ever withstood me for more than 5 minutes. Kudos.

One of the best times I had in college was bringing a grocery bag full of Mickey's Big Mouth into a screening of Cassavetes' Husbands. And now that I think about it, I passed around a bottle of not-Champagne at The Garden State at the Davis, and that was good too.
― Eazy, Monday, 27 August 2007 16:47 (seventeen years ago) link
Dude, it was like four inches high with ingredients!! And you know a New York bagel is half the size of your head to begin with.
Okay, maybe not YOUR head.
― Laurel, Monday, 27 August 2007 16:48 (seventeen years ago) link
oh noes mickey's big mouths
― kenan, Monday, 27 August 2007 16:49 (seventeen years ago) link
Last time we went to the Logan, they actually looked in Sarah's purse, so we were kind of paranoid about sneaking the candy in. Sarah took the Twizzlers out of their noisy bag and put them in a ziploc bag, and put a paper towel in the Raisinets box to dampen the rattling. I think she went a little overboard.
I think I'm going to start sneaking better snacks into the movies from now on.

Nick, maybe next time you could save up a bunch of those cardboard tubes that tampons come pacakged in and put a few pieces of licorice in each one. I bet they don't look too closely at THOSE.
