sauce and spaghetti

Spaghetti cost $9.

I bought the tomatoes online as they were a special variety I was trying to buy but couldn't find anywhere.
These canned ones were not anything special.

torches

I was spending a weekend in Michigan with my boss and work friends and while eating lunch Rob and Pam went across the street to a store for candy (I think)?

When they came back they said something like they had a gift for me or something I would really like and basically acted like it would be life changing.

That created some awkward anticipation like moment before they finally pulled out this giant lighter. I really didn't get it at first but they explained they thought I could use it to meet someone. Like an ice breaker. This was pretty funny and we couldn't stop laughing. I said I didn't think I could suddenly become a prop comic. It didn't fit my nature and I didn't think I could pull it off.

I just found that lighter a week back as it somehow ended up in my bathroom and I happened to need a lighter while in my bathroom. I think I was too aggressive with it though and I ended up breaking the sparking part.

Nick and I were watching the Sochi opening ceremony tonight and Nick noted the torch was weird. Disturbingly modern. He said it looked like a vacum cleaner which, it does. Or a kick ass hair dryer, I said. Nick thought they should use something really old looking. He wanted something like a 200 year old log and I suggested the jaw bone of an ass would look pretty old school.

Then I got curious and started looking up old US Olympic torches to see how modern looking they were. Turns out you can buy one if you want. I then I started to think how cool would I look at a concert if I pulled out a 1996 Atlanta Summer games torch?

This photo is surreal.

this looks crazy

These tomatoes are only grown in Sicily and are much redder than normal tomatoes.

bear clawed

This is called getting bear clawed. It's also called wearing flip flops with BMX pedals on a road bike that slips a chain ring.

Yes, those are jorts and my floor needs refinishing.

Those are Poverty brand pedals with very sharp claws. Very good in the winter. Not so good with flip flops and slipped chains. When you have a slipping chain ring it usually happens right before you head into traffic, which makes it both painful and embarassing.
