Gov't Mule will be in MA Friday and Saturday, so I'll probably go to one or both of those shows, even though I feel like a total loser going to shows alone. I will probably see a couple of Emulers there, so at least I'll see someone I know. I think it'll be really good for me to see some live music. I really wish I could see a Slayer show right now for some friendly violent fun, but da Mule will have to do. I wonder what would happen if I tried to start a pit. I'd probably get squashed by a Hell's Angel.

That's weird. I've had no desire to be in a pit for years.

MOTHERFUCK the FUCKING PASTA POT. It's a hunk of shit. I'm standing at the stove a little while watching my pasta (yes, I was cooking pasta after midnight), and I'm thinking, ya know, what's the big deal with this thing anyway? Do they think I don't know how to use a COLANDER, for crying out loud? So when it's done, I lock the lid on top and take the pot over to the sink to drain it. And the water keeps coming out and coming out, so I turn it further and further over, and there's still water coming out. So I kinda give it a few shakes, and THE FUCKING LID COMES OUT AND FALLS RIGHT ON TOP OF ANOTHER POT I HAD SOAKING IN COLD, GREASY DISHWATER. Which wouldn't have been so bad, as the pasta was all contained within the lid, but remember, the fucking thing has HOLES in it. So there's my pasta ruined all because of some nifty product that no one in his right mind can live without. I'll tell ya, colanders kinda bug me because they're hard to get all the pasta out of when you wash them, and they take up too much space in the dishwasher. But I have NEVER ruined a pot of pasta with a colander because I couldn't work the fucker properly.

Thank dog I had more pasta in the cupboard. If I hadn't, I'd have driven to Hong Kong or Taiwan or whatever to take out the Pasta Pot people.

Lessee--Springfield on Friday and Woostah on Saturday. Still not sure if I'll do one or both.

that sucks dude, i'm sorry for laughing but it's funny to me cause shit like that happens to me all the time.

for me though it's usually just my fault, not faulty products. like that time when i got done cooking this great pizza and went to take it out of the oven, but it slid right off the spatula and flipped onto the floor, face down (molten cheese down).

Yeah, this was partly my fault anyway--it tells you in the instructions (who ever heard of a pot with instructions?) not to shake it, yet there I was jostling it like crazy. I still think it's a stupid pot, though. :) And yeah, I do that kind of thing fairly often too. Like I'll put on a kick-ass pot of red beans and rice to cook all day, and I'll be stirring it frequently and paying good attention, and then all of a sudden I'll forget it for three hours until I smell it burning beyond all recognition. Or I'll actually finish cooking it, eat one bowl's worth, and discover the next day that I forgot to put the rest of it in the fridge, thereby wasting another four bowls' worth. Aaarrrgh. I need a cook and a maid.

O flea! Were we not separated at birth, or shortly thereafter, while wandering the aisles, looking for proper pasta pots??

Verily, verily. And still we wander...
