Refresher

Christie asked earlier today:

Out of curiosity what kind of sandwich is that?

I guess I should do one of those "100 Things About Me" lists, but until I do, here are a few things readers-just-joining-us should know about me, your host (long-time readers can skip this post and go read some Tony Pierce who remains, to this day, the best of the bloggers).

Sandwiches
When I finished university in 1992 and was finally living as an 'adult', I realized that I could do whatever I wanted with my life. And the thing I wanted to do most was eat a peanut butter and banana sandwich every day.

I did that, mostly, and commemorated the 10th Sandwich Anniversary two years ago with this flash movie.

But then the blog changed everything. Readers emailed and warned about the dangers of peanut butter and suggested alternatives. First I tried Tahini, then almond butter and have stuck with it ever since.

MacArthur Park
Recently, the song 'We Built This City On Rock 'n Roll' has been topping all of the Worst Song Ever lists, which is more a testament of the listening audience's ignorance than an honest assessment of the song. We Built This City is a silly little song, but it's hardly "bad". You can hum along or sing it in the shower just fine.

MacArthur Park is something else.

MacArthur Park is a monster. It has savagely devoured both the talented and the foolish and very, very few have faced the song and emerged still standing, let alone victorious. Heck, try for yourself: here's the midi file and here are the lyrics. Sing it yourself, good luck.

The MacArthur Park slayer was Andy Williams, whose version of the song is pretty much the only one that won't give you stomach cramps. For the ultimate insanity, download Donna Summer's full 'MacArthur Park Suite'.

Running
I like to run, not as much as or as far as KittyB (she runs the marathons), but I like it enough for me. Tonight I ran 19km. To put the distance in perspective, it's the distance you run if you start at the AGO, run over to Bay and down to the waterfront and out along the waterfront to Sunnyside Pavilion ... and back. Which is what we did.

And that's all you need to know about me! I also have a sweet tooth but never mention it on the blog because I don't want to tread on Sugarmama's turf. Oh, and I hate that freakin' Friends show, but it's done so yippy for me! In your fat, drugged, puke-covered face, Chandler!
