$1000 sundae
Made with "5 scoops of the richest Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream infused with Madagascar vanilla and covered in 23K edible gold leaf, the sundae is drizzled with the world's most expensive chocolate, Amedei Porceleana, and covered with chunks of rare Chuao chocolate, which is from cocoa beans harvested by the Caribbean Sea on Venezuela's coast. The masterpiece is suffused with exotic candied fruits from Paris, gold dragets, truffles and Marzipan Cherries. It is topped with a tiny glass bowl of Grand Passion Caviar, an exclusive dessert caviar, made of salt-free American Golden caviar, known for its sparkling golden color. It's sweetened and infused with fresh passion fruit, orange and Armagnac. The sundae is served in a baccarat Harcourt crystal goblet with an 18K gold spoon to partake in the indulgence served with a petite mother of pearl spoon and topped with a gilded sugar flower by Ron Ben-Israel."

all this simply reminds me of is david cross's comedy cd wherein he says, "tasteless, odorless gold. to EAT! and i thought, 'wow man, if that isn't the ultimate 'FUCK YOU!' to poor people, then I don't know what is."

v-day
i never put up pictures of yammy - mostly because it's so freaking hard to get her to stay still. she's such a spaz. i spent 20 minutes trying to chase her around the room, only to scrounge old photos to post.
thomas, on the other hand, is a camera whore.
happy valentines to all and most especially to anthony!

overdue
long long ago, anthony & i got tickets to see a hockey game for christmas from his brother sal & his wife marichel. unfortunately, they couldn't make it, but star & david were more than willing to take their place. tampa bay lightning vs. the boston bruins.
we met down in ybor for (what else?) mema's tacos and took the trolley down to channelside:
every city needs more trolleys. or monorails.
hello grainy digital 2 megapixel camera.
our seats were awesome - last row, first section. we = red dot.
this is what i've learned is "hockey."
they had monster bags o' cotton candy! we entertained ourselves with beer, hitler-style moustaches and dippin' dots.
zambonis are always in style.
**************************************************
continuing with the randomness:
this is hitachino white ale - isn't that bottle adorable? it's on my stove. perhaps make it into a vase? ever since that total wine store opened up, we've been adventurous lushes.
i bought the ladies of the girlfriend sweatshop fortune beans! open, water, give lots of love and a plant will grow with a magically lasered fortune!
a little sun, representing the "sun" of my love for it.
long life! i can't tell if it means long life for me, or long life for the plant. i (or my cat, thomas) normally kill plants within a matter of hours (poor, shrivelled husks of their former glorious selves) - this one has lived for weeks, weeks i say! perhaps the long life refers to us both. awww...
one of the only decent pictures to come out of chinese new year. that's my dad and older brother kevin washing dishes in the kitchen. i hail from a long line of families that keep the men in the kitchen (right, anthony?).
this, is a super tiny strip club on the way to anthony's practice space. seriously, i don't know if you can get an idea of how tiny it is, but it's smaller than a checker's fast food restaurant. two of me, arms stretched out, would be bigger than the front side. maybe they have a basement? also, those rounded things on the top light up, i believe. how is there room for more than 5 people? i mean, is there a bar? a stage?
weird.
this is the view i get from cute thomas. how can you resist that belly?!
