Weekend wrap-up and misplaced musings

Listen to this while you read (props to Jimmie for turning me on to this video):

With any luck it's gonna take you less than nine minutes to read this post.

Many thanks to everyone in the DFW area that made this weekend a wonderful one. It was great to see old friends (ADP excepted) and just as great to make new ones.

Over the course of the weekend it became painfully clear that my moustachio would not pass the bar as long as it was blonde. I ended up getting some pretty decent growth (except for in the Hitler area) but it was still impossible to see except up close. After a pretty heated debate about whether or not I should dye it I internally decided that it'd be gone at the end of the weekend.

Something the group of us kinda got obsessed with over the course of Saturday afternoon is Ninja Warrior on G4 tv. For those of you that don't know what this is, watch this video:

Robby and I were constantly amazed at how freaking athletic the people making it through this were. I think in total I watched 3+hours of Ninja Warrior this weekend alone. I just tagged him as "Robby D" and I liked it. I liked it alot.

Anyways, Robby D and I were really psyched about finding a way to try this stuff out for fun in America so if anyone has suggestions I'd love to hear 'em.

Now I'm back in College Station with two art shows and two tests to go to over the next couple days. Fingers crossed they all go well.

On to the Double Down!

If I haven't told you yet I'm really excited about a new KFC sandwich called the Double Down that was released yesterday.

I've come to describe the sandwich as such: it's a bacon, cheese and spiced mayonnaise sandwich except instead of a bun it's stuck in between two fried chicken breasts.

I'm not kidding. Here's a picture.

Now, being the connoisseur of everything fried I'm not gonna pass this up. This is the holy grail of fried chicken products and I will have it. I think I'm gonna go in tomorrow and see how it treats me.

I expect it to treat me like my family's miniature dachshund treats our kitchen floor and I don't think I need to elaborate on that.

My goal for the last year or so of my college tenure has been to ensure that I have a heart attack by the age of 25 and I feel like this is gonna get me back on pace.

Dangit. I just spent 5 minutes signing up for the KFC email list thinking I'd get a Double Down coupon. That's 5 minutes I'm never getting back.

Anyways I'll try to document my experience with the double down as best I can.

If I die mid-meal I give you permission to raid my Moleskine and find out how my last minutes on earth tasted.
