On Nitrogen

Thermodynamically, nitrogens bonded to each other are always regarded as guilty until proven innocent - there’s always the fear that they’re going to find a way to throw off their civilized clothes and revert to wild nitrogen gas. That’s a hugely stable compound. If your structure goes that route, all that extra bonding energy it used to have ends up diverted into flying shrapnel and loud noises.

T-day

The girls and I headed over the water to 13 Coins for dinner; I didn’t realize it at the time, but they run a turkey special every year. I greatly enjoyed Thanksgiving at 13 Coins; the girls, did, too. Sitting at the bar is always fun; sitting at the bar with cooks that seem to spawn from Hades is like a side of fun with your fun. The cooks had a constant stream of flaming whatevers to cook; we were a good 10’ down the bar from the grill, and we were well warmed by the flambé.

Last night, I took them to the Austin Cantina. I keep trying to like this place; however, I’m certain last night was my last go. I wish them well.

I posted my movie question over on arfcom and had the answer in two minutes. The answer is “Head Office” with Judge Reinhold and Danny Devito. I ordered it from Amazon; hopefully it doesn’t suck.

As seen at Beth’s. I didn’t order this; someone else did. The cook made one for me; it’s better than you might guess.

I picked up a case of BRAWNDO from ThinkGeek.. The flavor is OK; like original JOLT, it needs to be really cold to be edible.
