So I got nothing really important to talk about (yeah because all your other posts broke mental grounds). So here are a few blurbs about a few things I did or saw today:
This morning started out pretty terrible. I decided to try these Peanut Butter Cheerios that I found in my house. They were not good. I love peanut butter and breakfast cereal is probably my favorite thing in this world. So the two together haven't done me wrong (Peanut Butter Captain Crunch or Reese's Puffs anyone?). But they did me wrong here. This cereal was not good. Could have been a lot better, but when you are putting a cereal up against the likes of Peanut Butter Captain Crunch or Reese's Puffs, those are hard shoes to fill. It was decent enough, I won't be eating it again that is for sure. I feel as the Cheerios company (General Mills or something) wanted to make one of their healthy type cereals but with a little flavor (cue Frosted Cheerios!). Well as with their other forays, they fell on their faces. You gotta commend them for trying though.
Here's what I had for lunch:
Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you. That is indeed beef brisket over macaroni and cheese covered in BBQ sauce. Recently a friend and I stumbled upon a food truck called Rancho A Go Go. They specialize in slow cooked meats. This was pretty delicious and if you ever find yourself near this food truck definitely give it a shot. Worth every penny.
Now the really important stuff. It's Wednesday and that means new comic books. I get my comics through an online distributor so I rarely find myself at a comic book store on Wednesdays. But today Ralph Wiggum's one-shot came out. I love the Simpsons and have since I can remember. They were the one thing my father, brother and myself could all agree on when it was time to watch something. Anyone who has seen the Simpsons most likely knows about the police chief's son, Ralph. He is a great little guy, a little slow, but you just have to love him. This issue is all Ralph all the time and it is great. It wasn't anything groundbreaking, it wasn't anything awe-inspiring, it was just Ralph. And I loved it.
I almost bought the new issue of Orc Stain but for some reason the paper smelled horrendous, so I put it back. The paper was nice, it was heavy and the already extremely vibrant comic lept off the pages, but it smelled so bad I just couldn't do it. Now Ralph Wiggum, that was some great paper. Nice, heavy stock, crisp and didn't flop so easily like all the comics from Marvel and DC. Plus it didn't make me want to throw up so that is always a plus!
I promise not to talk about the paper stock of comic books ever again. That is a level of nerdom I don't want people to know about.
(Orc Stain is an amazing comic drawn by an amazing artist, I buy that book in trade format, the only reason I brought it up was because I felt it necessary to talk about the paper because it smelled so funky. I love the book and wish it all the best, but damn, the paper smelled horrible.)
So that's it for today. Just about the most meaningless post I think the blogosphere has ever seen. I started with breakfast cereal then ended with talking about paper? Come on, there wasn't anything more interesting for you to talk about today Alex? Sorry everyone, no there wasn't.
I think I might be going to that 24 hour Disneyland business tonight so maybe I'll have something halfway interesting to talk about tomorrow.
I don't own those photos
Except the one with my hand in it and the one I took of a comic book page with my phone
