Today a Tote Tomorrow the WORLD!!

January 30, 2008

Plano Tote Caddy

I can’t believe it, I finally decided to organize some of my art stuff (paints, brushes, mediums, etc…) and I thought all I need is one of those cool totes to put all my stuff in. I figured some place like The Home Depot would have this stuff coming out there ears, so off I went….

NO LUCK! What they have are nylon canvas tool totes, useful to be sure, but not what I was looking for, you’d think they’d have the plastic kind…so, off to Sears I went….no luck…hmmm….

Well I know we have these at work. The question is “Where did we get them?”. While driving home I figured the only place my boss and I would have bought them is Fry’s (where else, but the big computer toy store), so off I went.

YAY! Praise be to the computer gods for they are good and supply us with totes!!

I don’t know if any of you out there ever need one of these things but apparently they’re called a “Tote Caddy” at least by Plano. Knowing that I looked em’ up on line sure enough there’s a few places that carry them, Fry’s included. If you have a Fry’s near you go there they have a better price.

Anyways, now that I’m no longer distracted with looking for a “Tote Caddy” (and will have my art supplies organized) I can continue my on going quest of world domination…now where did I put my pencil??…

*Note, I just looked up a few more things. If you’re ever in need of these things try “Supply Caddy” Rubbermaid and few others manufacture them as well.*

Best Asiago Bread in Sac

November 16, 2007

Hi all,

Ever been craving a good asiago bread and not know where to go? Well, fear no more. I’ve done all the footwork and will steer you in the right direction. Here’s a list of the asiago breads that I enjoy. I’ve rated them in descending order based off of asiago cheese to bread ratio, and over all sourdoughy goodness.

1) Village Bakery Asiago Bread, this brand is available at Whole Foods and The Sacramento Natural Foods COOP. I like it the most because the cheese is actually integrated with the bread so, each bite is a sourdough asiago cheese pleasure.

2) A close second is Panera Bread’s Asiago Cheese Demi Loaf, referred to as just a “Demi”. I’ve tried the full loaf and for me it’s too much bread to cheese. I like to get the cheese with each bite or at least most of them.

3) Panera Bread’s Asiago Cheese Loaf, although I knock it in the comment above it’s still a wonderful experience, just not enough cheese to bread flavor ratio for me.

4) Boudin SF’s Asiago Cheese Loaf, arguably the most visually aesthetic, the overall cheese to bread taste is sub par when compared to the others. Designed as individual rolls baked together with cheese over the top you’d think there would be more than enough flavor to go around. Sadly though I got more bread flavor than cheese so I just can’t rate it higher. If I wanted to savor their bread’s flavor I’d just get the sourdough.

And there it is brief and simple. I’ve tried others as well and as soon as I remember or get the names I’ll add them to the list. Good asiago bread eating all, ENJOY!!!

Items needed

May 8, 2007

Strange things to think about…

I was watching “The Return of the King” the other day and was struck with an odd thought. All potential world liberators really need a check list to ensure success against said world conquers. Some of these items would be:

1) Magic Sword (+2 or better, affects undead/ desolidified, and armor piercing)(Light Sabers fall into this category)

2) Undead Army (reasoning: Enchanted weapons needed to hit them, they cause fear/terror, un-resistible attacks, high accuracy and damage, all in all battle winners)

3) Eagles, a must not only are they’re incredibly butch (anything that can bite the head off a Fell Beast in flight is just down right TOUGH!) and overall just plain COOL!!

4) A White Wizard, now I know Gandalf wasn’t that much of a wizard (flinging spells and such, but I gotta’ think he had some kinda’ massive AoE team wide morale buffs, not to mention a huge Commanding Presence)

5) Oh yeah and the opposing army general has to has a symanitical weakness. (ie. Can’t be killed by a man, so is done in by a woman kinda’ thing.)
