Hungry at Fork Heart Knife

Team Hungry team dinner with family and friends at Fork Heart Knife 9/11/10. A huge thanks goes out to Sierra for closing the restaurant to host the private event! The food, company, and that whole bottle of wine I drank made for a terrific evening.

The pictures above are out of order, but the evenings events went as follows:

• catching up with great friends
• eating amazing food
• awards and recognition

1. K-train--the little engine that could, the award for someone who can go fast but just chooses not to
2. Alex-- this one I don't remember that well...it might of been for riding a girl's bike with streamers, not having any winter cycling gear, or for being the most improved rider...or maybe a combo of all three
3. Zach-- for having really great Fabio hair...or for any of the ones mentioned above for Alex
4. Christa--team spirit
5. Ali--for being really fast?
6. Dr. Andrew-- Eurotrash
7. Eric-- the style award. white tape. white saddle.
8. James-- for being an awe inspiring amazing person
9. Starr-- home brew Ph.D
10. Pardi-- Mr. Freeze, Jack Frost, Old Man Winter... some kind of joke about dropping folks in subzero temperatures
11. Captain Chewning-- some bic razors and shave gel

• Crashing a BSM party
• Neons

Everyone should be eating at Fork Heart Knife at 1437 main street, cincinnati, ohio 45202. Amazing food. BYO__. Cash only. I don't have enough great things to say about the cozy space, delicious food, and amazing owners.

I WOULD TOTALLY EAT THAT

Although my tolerance for a lot of things has decreased recently (art, people who make or talk about art, things that are boring, etc) I still have a very high tolerance for "ick" or "gross"

My favorite "ick" or "gross" thing lately is something I'm going to dub Faux Cannibalism. I love the idea of eating yummy things that look like body parts. Of course, somethings will be far more realistic and disturbing than others, but to me the idea of faux cannibalism is to maintain the functionality (ie tastiness) of the food while making the experience more fun/gross. Basically, I want to eat jello brains but I still want them to taste like jello.

Not the best example, but look I am totally going to eat those jello brains---->




















I would also eat this scary, scary bread


and this cake

PLANT BABIES

LOOKIT. THOSE ARE GREEN BEANS. I GREW THEM.

Helminth Infections

Alright guys, it is time for some real nerding around. Today in my Infectious Diseases class we talked about 2 things that were just too gross- I can't not share this stuff with you.

1. hookworms- they get inside you through your skin (walking around barefoot), make their way to your blood vessels and hang out in your lungs, from which they are coughed up, swallowed and attach to the mucosa of the small intestines to feed on your blood.

2. roundworms- you swallow the eggs from contaminated food/water, the larvae migrate to your heart, lungs, and intestines to mature and feed. Worms as big as 1 foot have been reported. They can exit your body by slithering out your nose or mouth while you sleep.

The chances of me having any kind of worm infection are slim to none (the same goes for you), but I am pretty freaked out every time I cough now.

Also, I was going to include some pictures....but I threw up in my mouth a little when I saw the google image results for "roundworms in humans"

Am I Flirting?

Well, I am always damn well positive when I am flirting- and if you are the one I am flirting with I don't know how you could possibly be confused.

But I guess there are people that don't have flirting on their minds 24/7. For you unfortunate souls, there is a fantastic resource for you- Am I Flirting?

• Are you flirting if you pretend to be interested in __________?
• Are you flirting if you Twitter about a cute barista?
• Are you flirting if you go to Sur La Table for a new knife sharpener and ask the sales guy to explain the pros and cons of every one there?....What if you ask for a demonstration?

Never fear, the wonderful Jay Hathaway is here for you when you urgently need to know whether something is flirting.

(yes, i did that to the sales guy at sur la table. yes, i was flirting. and it was awesome)

MoBo

thanks wooster for the image. seen on the streets of Belfast

so there hasn't been an occasion for me to 'party blerg' about in a while. hopefully that will change after this event that i am really looking forward to:

MoBo Bicycle Cooperative 3rd Annual Fundraiser.
May 16th. Off the Avenue Studios 1546 Knowlton Ave 7pm-1am
Music, free food, GOLDSPRINTS!, booze (for a small donation), and HOT DUDES ON BIKES.
$10 for members, $12 for non-members.

i went last year and had a wonderful time. you better believe that i am willing to shell out my hard earned cash to help MoBo continue their mission!

you may be wondering, "so, what is their mission? and what the fuck is MoBo?"
well i am not going to tell you. go to the website and read about them. and if you live in cincy, come to the party!

BLING

my new excuse for not riding my bike as much as i should: metal allergy

i for real have a metal allergy to everything but gold. honestly, it is a pretty convenient allergy to have, plus i can totally tell when i get fake jewelery.

obviously the steel trek 360 i have just wont do. i want this one!i'm talking hand built, 24K gold plated, 600 Swarovski crystals, and only $100,000.

wayyy more freshest!

gross and uncomfortable

because i already admitted that hot dudes are the only thing i love in life, i guess i can only really really like these things: 1. the new quizno's commercial 2. birthday sex.

both things are a little gross, pretty uncomfortable, and totally hilarious. for those of you who haven't seen the quizno's commercial, just you wait!

oh my god. so i was googling the quizno's commercial to link in blog for y'all to see and the one i found is different, way more gross, and wayyyyy more better!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LQpRQh2KSQ
holy, fuck! you have to watch this. the one i've seen on tv is what i was originally blerging about, but there is no going back now that i've seen this one.

the other thing i love: birthday sex!
this song is the greatest. "tell me where you want your gift." get it? the gift is his dick.

so maybe i am a little shallow but its not my fault all my friends are beautiful people

Dear Blog, I am sorry for neglecting you lately. I have been very busy, freaked out, and quite frankly uninspired....until about 10 minutes ago.

So there are a few things in life that I truly love.

Actually, there is only one thing: HOT DUDES.

That's right, I love hells of fine dudes. Redheaded dudes, dudes with comedy facial hair, dudes that are much older than me...it doesn't matter because a handsome man is a handsome man. Lately, my favorite brand of hot dude is 'hot dude on bicycle' so nothing speaks to me more than hot dudes on bikes!

Some things I love about hot dudes on bikes:
1. they are totally hot,
2. endurance,
3. they are pretty gay for each other and proud of it,
4. make excellent company,
5. people that are excited and passionate about something are super sexy...even if that passion is about fucking a bicycle

So, hot dudes, if you want to show off those rock-hard thighs and fucked up tan lines, email your photos to hot dudes on bikes via danielle@hotdudesonbikes.com or johnathan@hotdudesonbikes.com.

umm also...check out these totally hot dudes....and ladies on bikes!

stitches

recently one of my favorite blogs -Street Anatomy- has posted some images near and dear to my heart...and knuckles. i LOVE the stuff from margot knight and HATE the type by luke lucas.

look. look at those pictures! my favorites are the top one and the feet on the bottom right.

i hate this. not gross enough.

Welcome to the Greenhouse

The babies are really starting to take off. So far there is a lot of basil and tomato success. The green beans are out of control. Nothing from any of the peps yet, but I am optimistic.

Happy Poison Prevention Week

I know that I am jumping the gun a bit on this one. But with exams coming up and the stress piling on I'm afraid that I will either forget to post this, or will have died from sudden sniffing death (preferebaly from "poppers"- yay sexual enhancement!)

From March 15th-21th I want to wish you all a happy Poison Prevention Week. So please, for this week and this week only, try not to do anything stupid.

DPIC's number is 1-800-222-1222.

But if you want to be an idiot, here are some stupid things you should never do (but you would probably be fine if you did)

-drink Clorox bleach. this will make you feel really sick but it isn't corrosive so your insides will stay in tip top shape. surprising, I know

-eat rat poison. this only applies to certain kinds of rat poison (don't eat rat poison). but the kind with warfarin/ coumadin in it wont kill you. warfarin is an anticoagulation medication that takes several days to have a therapeutic effect (measured by INR times). warfarin acts by inhibiting the synthesis of clotting factors II, VII, IX, and X which have half lives of several days. this means that if you eat a bunch at one time, it likely wont have any effect.

-eat the mercury out of a thermometer. this is elemental mercury. it is not absorbed through the GI tract. mercury salts are absorbed in the GI though, so don't eat those



Seriously. Don't do that stuff, I will not be held responsible if you eat the wrong kind of rat poison or drink swimming pool bleach --both of which will actually kill you. Oh also, don't huff anything. EVER. You can blow up. Sudden Sniffing Death isn't a made up thing either. Don't huff- go big or go home.
