18 April 2010

today i learned of vin scully's dodgers tenure.

i found out today, that today is the 60th anniversary of vin scully's first broadcast with the dodgers! how awesome is that? it's mind-blowing to me that he's been the voice of the dodgers for so long. and that when you watch games from way back when, like koufax's perfect game in 1965, the voice you hear is vin's. he's seen so much! i love that man, and his voice.

today i saw kick ass.

it's an awesome movie, very violent, and hit girl (and the actress who plays her) really steal the show. absolutely worth watching.

today i ate at zankou chicken.

i've heard so many people talk about zankou chicken at work, and how good it is. i finally ate there today when i went off-site for lunch with some coworkers and it was yummy. it's mediterranean, so served with pita and hummus and this amazing freaking garlic spread that i ate like candy. so yummy!

today i saw fx makeup artists at work.

a couple of them came in and did a demo for the surfacing department. they recreated a sunburn, chapped lips, dirt, sweat, a bruise, scrapes, stubble, etc. it was very cool to see what they could do, how they did it, and what they did it with.

today i have nothing new to share.

i probably would, except i've been falling behind on posting, so many of these rely on my memory being good enough, which it isn't. so, i fail for today. though this would be the first time i failed to come up with something since i started the blog back in november - pretty darn good i think.

today i attended opening day!

i took the day off of work to go to opening day at dodgers stadium! i've been to opening night before, but never opening day. it was awesome. and they won!!


another first for today, went for a long run in the morning, and did 6.5 miles - the longest i've ever run. it's becoming increasingly therapeutic, especially with everything else going on right now in my life (which i won't mention here in this forum).

it was a very pretty drive into work.

today i made pappardelle.


i used 3 eggs, 2.5oz tipo 00 flour, 7.5oz semolina flour. rolled out to the thinnest setting on the imperia pasta machine. i kneaded it a lot to really activate the glutens, and it ended up reminding me a lot of chinese chow fun (but thinner and better, obviously!).
