Dark Day
My cat is in renal failure. I have to give him I.V. fluids and will get his blood checked on Friday to see if its even worth continuing.
Right now my head is telling me the rational things, but my heart is feeling like this:
Gonna do what I can to help my furry companion, but I think its just a question of time.
Pud kept me from being lonely during the day, and I don’t know what I am going to do when he is gone. Another cat just doesn’t cut it to me right now because old ironsides is one of a kind…
So far this year sucks. Can we go back?
Happy New Year!
Congrats to all for another orbit around a big hot ball of burning gas 🙂
Cemego’s Ghetto Kitchen: Chicken Catalina for The Poor & Talentless
A confession: My only exposure to the food services industry was working as a busboy at a Bonanza steak house in the mall while I was in high school. One of my favorite dishes was their chicken catalina. I love catalina dressing. This is a cheap and easy way to do chicken. I tried to cook for the first time in a while and I made it with this quicky recipe. Thanks go to:
1. My complete and total lack of talent and cash.
2. Denise for advice and laughs.
3. Liz for leaving some of her cookwear behind (Thanks for the big wok with a handle!)
Here’s the recipe:
2 chicken breasts, boned and split (get the cheap boneless one’s on sale at the Ac-A-Me! 1 pound will do fine for 2 people. If you are a hungry fat ass’d couple, get 1.5 pound for 2 people.)
1/2 pkg. dry onion soup mix (I buy the generic)
6 oz. Catalina salad dressing (Or as much as you can stand. The more the better for my taste. Makes more juice!)
Put chicken in a casserole dish (one of them glass pyrex jobs) which has been sprayed with Pam (or just put some olive oil on a paper towel and rub down the casserole dish).
Sprinkle chicken breasts with 1/2 package dry onion soup mix.
Pour 6 ounces Catalina salad dressing over chicken.
Best if you let this sit for a while to marinate! Makes the chicken taste more Catalina’y. I also chop a handful of nasty stinky white onions into the dish. This makes it more onion’y and clears the sinuses a bit.
Cover (with aluminum “ferrl”) and bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes. Good served with rice (the cheap stuff).
Yummo on yer cheap ass’d budget! Note: The catalina juice in the casserole dish is great to yum up the rice a bit!
Spam on the Road: Got My Computer back
Hello all.
Haven’t posted in while and I’ve got loads to tell you.
but I don’t feel like it.
so I’ll hit the big points.
Got caught in a blizzard in Springfield, IL after seeing Chad in Chicago. We had to cancel a show because we just couldn’t get there in time.
Next up was New Orleans, where we stayed at the Astor Crown Hotel on Bourbon St. Â ” Titties….Titties and no Cover. come on in fella’s and a girl will sit on your lap. Played a whole lot of Pool. Even won some.
A week of detox later and we are in FL.
Got to see my Mom, Grandmother, and my Brother in Pensacola, FL. They came to see the show. “Meme” said she got most of it. They had to leave the same night. Not enough time
Then there was Christmas at Disney World. Not Orlando. Disney World. Big difference. At the Swan and Dolphin Resort. I swam in many of the outdoor heated pools on Christmas Day. Didn’t feel right. Weird vibe the whole weekend.
West Palm Beach for one show. Then lots of worrying about my flight to Philly. Safe flight. And now, I’m home with C and G lapping it up before tomorrows travel to New Haven CT.
Now this I am excited about. New Haven used to be Broadway’s cradle. That is to say, the theater where we will be performing used to be where all the B-way shows had there tech rehearsals and try outs, and we are staying at the hotel across the street where all the writers and composers, and directors would stay while getting the show up.
It’s cool to think of  Rogers and Hammerstein, or Kandor and Ebb feverishly writing and rewriting songs and lyrics and bouncing ideas of the walls in that same hotel.
Big producer people coming too. They made sure we understood that the New Haven shows had to be on point.
I’ll let you know how it goes,
Will

Merry Shitmas!
Merry Shitmas my friends 🙂
I love how Dunsworth is reading Christopher Hitchens book “God is Not Great; How Religion Poisons Everything…” for a Christmas video.
Just in case anyone tries to tell you otherwise, Christmas is NOT Jesus’s birthday. It was to celebrate his conception. So, really, its a celebration about a rape that caused a pregnancy. Nice!
It was also a Roman holiday hijacked by the later Popes in order to get the waining Roman citizens to convert easier to Christianity because early Christians celebrated nothing and the Romans where ALL about their parties…
So Happy Birthday Sun! A tangible God made up of hot burning gas, which has the REAL influence in all of our lives.
Chronicles of the Absurd-Who Knew?
There is nothing like a door ding or a fall time kamikaze acorn bombardment to brighten the day of any car owner. Â Saw this nifty little trick and thought I might pass it on.
I may even try it on my almost vintage Honda accord a.k.a. the Green Machine to see if it really works. The only problem is that if it does, I’m on the hook for a lot of computer cleaners…
What goes around, comes around.
In the early hours of this Tuesday, the earth will eclipse the moon. What makes this lunar eclipse so special, is that it is just happens to coincide the Winter Solstice.
While it may seem like no big deal, this event marks the longest day of winter. After this, the days will gradually get longer, and then next thing you know…its time to break out the tight black wife beaters. So if you are out or up, drunk or sober, take a peek out the window and see if you can spot that red moon and know that we are still spinning on a rock with a ball of its inners, orbiting around an immense ball of hot gas.
