a few things, probably a few too many
today has been a day of many revelations.
i will share them now:
revelation #1) things labeled "mini" in the frozen foods section do not guarantee "the delicious"!! it's all a SHAM. you'd think because your favorite junk food has been shrunken down, that also, the flavor would be intensified thereby making it the closest thing to heaven on earth that you can come to....right? WRONG. i feel so betrayed.
in my effort to ingest as many corndogs in one lifetime as is humanly possible, i bought a box of mini corndogs. what most attracted me to this item was:
a) that on the box, they are not sure how many corndogs each box has. they list the count as 18-20. you rarely find this kind of inconsistency these days, so that was a plus!
b)they are mini. what's not to be attracted to.
c)they are corndogs.
i got them at Henry's so immediately I dismissed the fact that they were Foster Farms brand. that was my first mistake. needless to say, they are disgusting. i made 4 in the microwave because im too impatient to put anything in the oven. i doubt the oven would have done much for them anyways. i won't describe anything because i don't want to put myself through that again!!!
how can a corndog NOT be delicious? it's seriously too agonizing for me to consider...so i won't. i'll just pretend the whole thing was a nightmare.
in any case, consider yourselves warned.
(it's also available in 40-44...seriously though, isn't the quantity count totally charming? i'm such a a sucker for these things!)
revelation #2) the new season of ANTM will disappoint once again. If you watched tonite, you should have noticed that during the Miss J Runway Challenge at the beginning....there was a girl who was singled out for a quick second (although she truly deserved alot more screen time solely because of her name.) she really had what is possibly the best name i've ever ever ever ever ever heard, seen, even been aware existed and i wish Tyra had kept her. Spontaniouse, you were cut too soon! Spontaniouse. spelled just like that. sadly, i couldnt find a picture of her. Tyra always lets the really good ones go.
revelation #3) the new WB series which comes on right after ANTM is the most perfect thing on television. I stayed home by accident, but now i realize it was no accident. Fate brought us together. Gossip Girl, i'm totally yours.
revelation #4) I hate the Target Go! campaign. at first, i was really excited because they had some seriously hot designers coming in and out...but everytime i would go, i would find it really disheartening. everytime!!
the cut of the clothing is crap, the fabrics are crap; i don't get the point. i'm pretty sure the featured designers had nothing to do with the cut and fabrics because there is no way that a label like Proenza or any of the others would ever make anyone wear that crap. totally no way.
i went to target today because the new designer is Alice Temperley....her stuff is seriously gorgeous! She makes fabulously chic and feminine clothing and while the stuff at Target looks hot on the hangers, it doesn't when it's on, like, an actual person. trust. bleh. the fit is fug. always. no matter who's design.
(oh oh and if you cared....the same goes for the Vera Wang crap at Kohl's. it's crap. don't bother.)
revelation #5) if you've never read anything by Dave Eggers, youre doing yourself a huge disservice. serio.
revelation #6) i'm not sure if it's the nano commercial that is making me have to confront this, but i have come to realize that Feist's songs give me anxiety. big time. i have no explanation for this.....they just do. it's weird, i know....but Coldplay does the same thing to me. and it's not good anxiety. i get nervous and uncomfortable and as much as i fight....i can't defeat it. on the flip, i can listen to Umbrella over and over and over again and while it does make me want to shove an Um-ba-rella-ella-ella-ella-ey up Rhianna's ass...it doesn't give me anxiety.
revelation #7) Poquito Mas is just ok.i've heard alot about Poquito Mas but hadn't actually been to one so, as i mentioned a few posts ago, i made E take me so i could do some investigative reporting. or something.
the menu, i must say, is a nice change from that of Baja Fresh's or Rubio's. I had some kind of special. I didn't know what it was but i was starving and it said something about cheese and a bell pepper and i went for it.
what i got was a thick tortilla on which the stuffed pepper was sliced on top of. then, on top of and inside of the pepper was a bunch of gooey white cheese, a whole bunch of chicken, and a mango salsa. it came with a giant side of rice and beans. i also ordered one mini taco (im consistent).
E ordered a burrito mojado and it came to him kind of cold, which made it crap. also the mojado sauce was chefboyardee-ish. not bueno. the inside of the burrito was aight.
overall the food was ok. it was better than most places and they really do give you alot! the only thing i didn't really find ok was the salsa. it totally wasn't fresh looking, nor tasting...so that kind of bothered me. otherwise...i'd go back, though i'm not sure that i'd pass up a trip to Chipotle for it.....and that's the trufe! goddamnit i love chipotle. i dont care that it's owned by McDonalds as every person feels the need to tell me. i dont give a fuck foo....i love mcdonalds too, dayum.
