Sunday Morning Musings, Snack Like You Mean It Edition

Hey there kids.


It’s Super Bowl Sunday. I hope you have your snacks ready.

Big ups to E-ve who is going to be at the restaurant during the big game. My prediction is that the bar will be full, there will be lots of beer, chicken wings and nachos ordered and the Colts will win by no less than 6 points.

E-ve is willing to give 3 points in the Colts favour. Which was unexpected, but impressive.

Side note: She’s a great story teller.

I’m in a huge Foo Fighters binge right now. To the point that I’m worried that I’ve disrupted the reading of my co-worker.

Last night was another successful night in the Home Cooking Experiment. I didn’t really do much cooking, but I was able to defeat my craving for shawarma and go with a McCain Rising Crust Pizza. I did add some garlic seasoning and black pepper and a heap of cheese on top before I tossed it in the oven though. Pictures soon to come to Twitter and Facebook.

The good people at Monster Energy Drinks stopped by the store today and dropped off a sample tall boy for each of us. I haven’t cracked into mine yet, but I think it will give me something to sip at for the afternoon.

I have very disappointed in the Sedin twins, Sidney Crosby and Ilya Kovalchuk after yesterday’s hockey action. Between the 4 of them only Sid had 1 single point for my pool.

I have finished the leg work for part 1 of E-ve’s Valentine’s Day surprise. Soon it will be ready to hand over to her in a very cute offering of my love.

Also soon is my birthday. Mark your calendars.

While reading Kevin Smith’s Boring Ass Life last night I started missing Daddy Z as Mr. Smith talked about his last night with his pops and offered the eulogy that he gave. I never thought that Kevin Smith would make me feel like I was going to cry, but he came close.

I almost rocked my suspenders at work today but I was wearing the wrong pants.

I’m thinking about a haircut and a shave but I’m worried that my face will look 17 and my temples will look 40. Le sigh.

I’m missing a lot of sports action right now because the TV at work still isn’t working. Boo.

I’ve been cleaning and organizing at the apartment pretty steadily over the last week or so, and it’s starting to look pretty good. I have to come up with a few ideas to keep things a little more contained, but they’ll come soon enough I think.

The youngest brother Z turns 22 tomorrow. I can’t believe that he’s that grown up now. It boggles my mind.

I think that’s all for now mes amis. With the TV out today and no customers as of yet be prepared for some Twitter and Facebook action.

Happy snacking. Go Colts.

Saturday Morning Musings, Batman And Boreanaz Edition

Good morning, good morning everyone.


Happy Saturday to you all. I hope that you find it relaxing if you have the day off and prosperous if you don’t.

Big ups to my E-ve who is the awesome. It’s back to work on her Valentine’s Day surprise part 1 for me today. I’m excited to have it put together and finished and try to keep the secret for another week. Word on the street is that her Zucchini cupcakes with 7 minute icing are the bees knees. Job well done!

Sad news in Toronto today as hockey fans send their condolences to the Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke and his family after the passing of his son Brendan. By all accounts Brendan was a stand-up guy and an amazing individual whose story of coming out of the closet in the hockey world has the chance to break down walls and the homophobic stereotype of the game.

We are only 1 day away from Super Bowl Sunday people. Get your food and drink ready for the big game and whatever festivities you may be planning. I have a last minute phone call to make today to see if Heath wants to or can come over for the game and some eats, and then either way I have to start thinking about my menu. As it stands I think it’s going to be chicken fingers, taquitos and maybe some nachos. There’s also a little beer in the fridge to wash down such junky foods.

It also means a Super Bowl edition of the Home Cooking Experiment. So far it has gone quite well and I’ve even started to throw some pictures up on Twitter and on the Wally Z’s Morning Musings page on Facebook. You can see pictures of E-ve’s birthday cake, my Tomato tuna casserole and breakfast for dinner with eggs, beans, cheese and toast. Soon to be added will be last night’s chicken and veggies that I put together in the oven. It didn’t make as much as I thought it would, but it was tasty.

I’m excited for this afternoon’s Montreal vs. Pittsburgh hockey game. Puck drop is scheduled for 2pm and I’m hoping that we’ll be able to find a feed on the computer here at work so that I can cheer on mes boys.

I’m rocking my Batman belt buckle at work today. It makes me feel like a little bit of a rebel while I wear my shirt and tie and sweater vest. Kind of like David Boreanaz in Bones. I need to get me some more fun socks though so that I can really pull it off.

E-ve is teasing me that she knows what my cake and dinner are shaping up to be for my birthday. She says that they are a surprise and that I’ll have to wait. It’s 2 weeks away and I’m not good at waiting. We’ll see how this goes. Stay tuned for further developments.

I think I’ve gone on enough for one day. I’ve got a surprise to work on and some work related junk to do as well.

Have a great day ladies and gents.

Tuesday Morning Musings, Part 1 And The Quest For 6 Edition

Good day to you my fine furry friends! And to you who aren't so furry as well.



Big ups to my E-ve. I've started part 1 of her Valentine's Day package. I'm not sure how many parts there will be, but I'm liking the idea for this one.



I'm excited to have tomorrow off instead of working. It's against normal routine. And then Thursday I'm at a different store for a short shift before going home and having Friday off as well.



The Raptors go for their 6th straight win tonight in Indiana. I've already started getting messages from friends that are full of excitement for the team. I hope that they don't disappoint.



Tonight is also the first time that the new look Maple Leafs will take the ice. Fans in Toronto hope that they fare better than the new look Flames did last night against the Flyers.



We're watching a pretty terrible Hulk animated movie. I hope it's over soon.



Here's hoping that day 2 at the new place is going well for Jake.



And I'm hoping that Romeo is starting to become mobile again. And wish him luck on the quitting smoking campaign.



I can feel my stomach starting to rumble. I'm not sure if I want to eat or just get more coffee though.



I wrote a birthday wish list last night and posted it on the Long Form Musings. Have a look if you like.



The Oscar nominations were handed out this morning. I haven't checked the list yet but I'm sure there will be some internet buzz if you look hard enough.



Thanks to everyone that is awesome.



And as per usual, if you're only here this one day a week, see you next Tuesday.
