Momma Hall doesn't like cilantro...which means I kind of grew up cilantro-less. And it has really been within the last two years or so that I've really discovered how awesome cilantro is...on everything. Tonight I made a deeeelicious marinade for my bison steak. I'll tell you more:
Garlic
Cilantro
Worcestershire Sauce
Lemon & Lime juice
More cilantro
Paired it with some steamed summer squash cause, duh, it's summer and it's awesome.
I'm a full on cooker! :)
So good. Sooooo goooooooood.
Listening to: The Weepies, Hideaway-Little Bird. So good.
Side note: where's Courtney???????????? I'm lonely!

The One About the Pets
My apologies, friends. Blogging has been forgotten for so long. :( Frowny face. Fear not, though, this is going to be a super awesome blog. For serious.
So, on to my pets. Let us not waste any time!
Spaetzle:
After several months of being dead, Spaetzle has come back to life. I knew I had seen some D batteries somewhere in one of my classic "bags" in my room. I finally searched in the right box and found some Spaetzle "energy pills"! Wahoo. Anyway, he's now breathing & back to normal. Still quite stand-offish, but we're working on it.
Banjo & Kazooie:
I got crabs!! Banjo & Kazooie are the latest additions to my little family. You're probably thinking, wow, I didn't think anyone bought hermit crabs after they were in 6th grade, and for most people that's accurate. But please. It's me!! Anyway, in addition to one slightly lethargic pug, I have two hermit crabs, one of which has a social/anxiety disorder for certain.
Here is Banjo with Auntie Courtney:

Here is Kazooie the hermit:
Today (as I do most weekend days) I remembered that I live in the most awesome place on earth. Courtney and I spent our day at Cardiif-by-the-Sea which is a totally adorable and beautiful beachy town up in North County.
I mean, as I write this weblog entry, I am watching the sun slowly set on the Pacific Ocean from my bedroom. I'm sorry to rub it in, but it has to be said. I LOVE WHERE I LIVE. Dang.
Listening to: Coldplay, Viva la Vida. It's awesome.

The Green Flash is Mythical
The green flash does not exist. I earnestly believe this. Ok, no I don't. But! I am just fairly depressed that I have never actually seen it. I want to believe that it doesn't exist, because how else would I not have seen it yet? :(

Friends Don't Let Friends Buy Steve Maddens
Steve Maddens are cheap, shitty shoes. I'm always enticed by the cute styles/affordable prices but then I remember that I could buy four pairs of Steve Maddens which I will never wear because they are so very uncomfortable, or one pair of ..nice.. shoes which I will wear all the time because I can actually wear them all day long.
Remember, if your friend tries to drag you into a Steven Madden store, say "No--I'm not letting you do this. Friends don't let friends buy Steve Maddens."

Vignette Three: Spiders on a String
Because I sort of couldn't wait to tell this story, and I don't have anything else to do, I'm going to cruise through number three.
My dad has always liked to antagonize us. I remember various instances of this. (Cough cough "Glenny boy loves you" cough cough.) It continues with my younger sister Emma. Dads like to do that sort of stuff. It is what it is.
When we lived across the railroad tracks in Wenonah, NJ, my Dad (and to be fair, my mom too, as she was the one who must have held the video camera) used to like to do things to us while we were sleeping and video tape it. Before you get creeped out, read on....
Most notably, they would put stickers on our faces and watch us kind of squirm and toss and turn. Kind of funny, right? Well, then they graduated from stickers to pom-pom arachnids.
The most hilarious video ever (beside the Christmas Show) is of my dad dangling a pom-pom spider on a string just barely on our faces. He would let it tickle us and we would swat it away (deep in REM, mind you). This continued for quite sometime. Somehow, remaining in slumber mode, my sister and I managed flail and swat this crafty spider away, despite the guttural laughs that were occurring around us.
The video is hilarious. Boy, they must have been very bored to do this.
Vignette Four: 100 Happy People, coming soon

Vignette Two: Walking is Hard
This one is short but sweet.
I'm a klutz. I have no balance. I'm not graceful. I, at any given time, have at least 2-3 bruises from running into things. It's not a new thing, and it's not going away. It is what it is. It just is.
When I was like 10-13, I was at the Atlantic City Airport, preparing to fly to Florida or something. I was walking along with me mum and grandmother and pulling along me suitcase. And I ran into a cement pole. Smacked right on into it.
Walking is hard.

Someone Flipped Me Off Today
Umm, hello? Why did you flip me off, sir?
I was driving to work this a.m. on the 8, as per usual, and as I was merging right to get into my exit lane (which I did safely, with respect to the peeps trying to get out of that lane) the dude behind me flipped me off. He flipped me off. Umm, hello?
Um, hi?
