Late packing for trip
Cleanly fold or cram it in?
Wrinkles it is, then.

The Value of Self-Experimentation
I was proffered (Scrabble, anyone?) a link last week to a fascinating article entitled "The Value of Self-Experimentation." It's a fascinating article in and of itself, but more importantly, it contained some hopefully useful insights into my poor sleeping habits.
So my first step is pushing back breakfast until 10am. I figure I’ll give that two weeks and see if that has any noticeable effect on my sleep habits. And then maybe I’ll start branching out into some of his other suggestions. In the meantime, I think I'm going to start browsing the archives of Tim Ferriss' blog (he of the aforementioned article).
I knew that in a wide range of animals, including rats, a laboratory result called anticipatory activity is well established. If you feed a rat every day at the same time, it will become active about three hours earlier. If you feed it at noon, it will become active about 9 a.m. I had been eating breakfast at about 7 a.m. and waking up about 4 a.m. I had essentially found that humans were like other animals in this regard.Interesting stuff, yes? When I was doing my own experimenting I tested the effect of a number of sleeping agents (melatonin, generic sleeping pills, Nyquil) along with external elements like a humidifier, when I went to bed, when I stopped using electronic devices, and so forth and so on. After about a month of trying different combinations of all these variables I was still averaging about 3.5 hours of sleep a night, a rate that I still sustain today.
Not eating breakfast reduced early awakening but didn’t eliminate it. In the following years, self-experimentation taught me more about what caused it. By accident, I found that standing helped. If I stood more than eight hours in a day, I slept better that night. That wasn’t practical—after trying to stand that much for several years, I gave up—but the realization helped me make another accidental discovery 10 years later: standing on one leg to exhaustion helps. If I do this four times (left leg twice, right leg twice) during a day, even in the morning, I sleep much better that night. More recently, I’ve found that animal fat makes me sleep better.
So my first step is pushing back breakfast until 10am. I figure I’ll give that two weeks and see if that has any noticeable effect on my sleep habits. And then maybe I’ll start branching out into some of his other suggestions. In the meantime, I think I'm going to start browsing the archives of Tim Ferriss' blog (he of the aforementioned article).

So many red wines;
How do you keep track past five?

Thanksgiving Round-up
I ended up staying with my girlfriend’s family for the entire weekend, and I had an absolute blast. The entirety of Wednesday (5pm-10pm) was spent drinking 11 (12?) bottles of red wine with six other people, of which I partook of a solid 14 glasses or so. This is impressive both because I’m not normally a fan of red wine and because I don’t really drink that often. The clear winner of the evening was the first wine we tasted, which I believe was an Ass Kisser from Rocland Estates (waiting for confirmation) was a 2010 A.S. Kiken from Reverie Winery.
As for the actual Thanksgiving dinner, I went ahead with the Broccoli-Cheddar soup, which was a hit, and the Butter Knots that my cousin Katy has made for years in Buffalo. The recipe for them is listed at the end of this post and I HIGHLY recommend you give them a go.
The rest of the day was spent drinking more wine, grazing on leftovers, and catching up with friends who made guest appearances during the evening.
Friday morning I woke just before 7am and drove off into the lovely, dense fog of Huntington Beach to find the local Verizon Wireless store so that I might finally enter the era of smartphones. Sadly, Verizon was the only carrier NOT putting the Samsung Galaxy S3 on sale (boooo!) but I went ahead and got it anyway. It came loaded with tons of apps, none of which I know how to use, so I’ll be spending a good chunk of today online researching them and playing around with the phone.
Friday evening turned into a culinary wonderland, as my girlfriend’s parents treated everyone to dinner at Old Vine Café in Costa Mesa. A bevy of four-course tasting menus, with a specific wine paired to each individual course. I went with the Comfort Tasting Menu which included the following:
It was AMAZING.
Saturday was spent reading, playing board games and watching both ‘Brave’ and The ‘Perks of Being a Wallflower’, the latter of which I highly recommend you seeing when you have a chance.
Okay, that’s it for today. The recipe for the butter knots is below the cut. I’ll have more interesting tidbits for you tomorrow.

Let Me Feed You the Food of My People
As Thanksgiving is almost upon us (how the hell did that happen?) I thought I’d share with you a family recipe that is near and dear to my heart. I don’t recall the origins of this particular dish, but it is something that my father has been making, without fail, since I was but a wee lad. As far as I know it doesn’t have a proper name and is only referred to as the ‘Green Jello Dish.’
Now this side dish isn’t for everyone. I would go so far as to say that it isn’t for anyone, but clearly there are a few well-refined individuals out there who can appreciate the subtle combination of flavors this dish has to offer. Having been force fed it for most of my 33 years, I can say with great assurance that you’ll eventually get used to it. Love it, even.
THE GREEN JELLO DISH
(approximately, as I apparently don’t have the recipe on file)
3-4 cups of shredded green cabbage
1/2 cup shredded carrot
1 15oz can of Crushed Pineapple (drained, with juice set aside)
1 3oz package of Lime Jell-O
1 cup hot water
1 cup cold water (which includes the saved pineapple juice)
1. Make the Jell-O like normal.
2. Combine the Jell-O, cabbage, carrots and crushed pineapple in a ring mold.
3. Refrigerate until firm.
4. Watch your friends eye the dish warily and then opt instead for an extra helping of mashed potatoes.
------------------------------------
This year I’m actually doing Thanksgiving with my girlfriend’s family, which has left me scrambling for dishes to make. Apparently all the standard sides and desserts are already taken care of so I’ve had to think outside the box.
I’m going to fall back on one of my favorites, a Broccoli-Cheddar soup recipe from Cooks’ Illustrated. I figure both soups and broccoli aren’t normally featured during Thanksgiving, so doubling up is unlikely. Plus you can use it in place of gravy!
Beyond that I’m kind of at a loss. I can have another go at Cooks’ Illustrated Blueberry Pie, or I could hunt down a roll recipe of some sort. Right now I’m looking at these two, but my cousin Katy has a kick ass recipe I’m hoping she’ll be able to get to me by tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

It’s really not bad,
Unable to sleep at night;
More time to daydream.
Unable to sleep at night;
More time to daydream.
To Sleep Perchance to Dream
Sleep is a funny thing. Some people are really good at it while others, like myself, seem to have been stuck with the short end of the stick. For whatever reason, I only average about 3.5 hours of sleep on a given night and rise with the dawn, one of the many reasons I’m a big fan of overcast, cloudy days.
This hasn’t always been the case, however. I’m fairly certain my personal predicament kicked in about August of 2005, right after I had a really rough case of mono (5 days of no sleep and no food). Years later after I had moved out to California and tried a bevy of prescription sleep aids and herbal remedies and blood sacrifices I finally got around to going in for a sleep apnea test. The results?
“This young man slept extraordinarily well.”
LIES. I slept like crap, though the report insists otherwise. In fact, I went back through my emails looking for the report and stumbled across a recounting I sent my father.
Anyone else out there have interesting sleep habits?

The results?
“This young man slept extraordinarily well.”
LIES. I slept like crap, though the report insists otherwise. In fact, I went back through my emails looking for the report and stumbled across a recounting I sent my father.
“I had no time-telling device with me, so I won't know how much I actually slept until my doctor got the results [ed: 7 hours and 6 minutes] , but I had no less than four distinct dreams before the study came to a blessed end. The first three were all the same except for minor differences. In all three I suddenly found myself somewhere in or around the hospital late at night wondering how I got there. I would eventually make my way back to the sleep study room to find out what was going on only to wake up. The second time this happened was annoying; the third was beginning to piss me off.It is rare that I can so clearly recall the contents of my dream; I can count on a little over one hand the number of times this has happened. Suffice to say this experience contrasted sharply with the report I was given. I still don’t know why I’m so bad at sleeping, but after seven years by body has gotten used to it, so…c’est la vie.
The cake though was the final dream, which once again had me wandering the hospital (electrodes and trailing wires still attached) but this time it was during the day and populated. I couldn't leave the hospital because there was still something that needed to be done in regards to the sleep test, but I couldn't figure out what. I finally found a clock and it said 11am, then 1pm and I thought I should call my boss and let him know I was going to be late. So I plunk myself down in a chair in the lobby and call the office, getting what must have been a temp, who picked up the phone and didn't acknowledge me for a good twenty seconds as she was knee deep in her own conversation with another co-worker. I ask for Francisco and she puts me on hold. As I'm waiting Francisco suddenly sits down in the chair across from me, cell to his ear. I have a little 'WTF?!' moment and then tell him I'm going to be late. He says not to worry and hands me a sheet of paper. It turns out that I, along with two other people, have had our hours reduced due to the strike and my new schedule for Monday and Tuesday (the only one's that I see clearly) are now 2pm – 5pm, so I actually haven't missed anything at all.”
Anyone else out there have interesting sleep habits?

Apple Picking and Piglets
My girlfriend and I drove two hours out to the country yesterday to go apple picking and to see piglets race. The apple picking was a success, the fruits of which (har har) I shall be feasting on for the rest of the week. It was exactly as I hoped it would be--lush, forested country-side in very cold weather with friendly people milling about. Also a giant serving of apple pie drowning under a mound of vanilla ice cream.
Sadly, the piglet racing wasn’t up to snuff, with just two normal looking miniature pigs running most of a tiny loop before stopping terrified by the screaming of small children. To be fair, my disappointment was probably due in large part from giving ourselves an unattainable bar by watching YouTube (I love how Word was upset I didn’t capitalize the ‘t’ initially) videos of miniature potbelly pigs being adorable. Case in point below:
This of course led us down the slippery slope of related videos that soon had us watching other miniature pigs, cheetah cubs, hedgehogs and baby huskies. By the time we left for the orchard we had this impossible image of perfectly groomed tiny pigs being adorable just for us. I attempted to lessen my guilt and disappointment by feeding the two racing pigs some corn before I left.
On the way back I made my girlfriend play the soundtrack for Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me again, which I highly recommend you listen to if you get the chance (you can find it on Spotify). I heard it the first time back in January when we drove out to the Grand Canyon. Very funny stuff from an actor I didn’t really know that much about or particularly cared for before now. I would love for him to do another run though so I could see it live.

Pears
3 pears v.2 by Susan Murtaugh
Man, I forgot how good pears were. Such a unique flavor and texture. I kinda just want to eat the other two I have right now. In the mean time I guess I'll just browse the internet for pear-based goodness.
And lo, ask and you shall receive; two more recipes to add to my 'To Bake' list:
Pear, Cranberry and Gingersnap Crumble

Mortality
Instead of sitting in front of my computer waiting for the election results to come in I decided to finally watch "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World," which I had rented a number of weeks ago.
If you have not seen "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World" yet and are planning to, stop reading now.
The story takes place in a world where Earth is doomed to be destroyed by an asteroid in a number of weeks. Dodge (Steve Carell) has his wife leave him at the beginning of the film and heads out to find his old high school sweetheart. His unexpected companion on this adventure is his downstairs neighbor, Penny (Keira Knightley), who is trying to get back to her parents in London.
Unsurprisingly, over the course of their shared journey they fall in love and by the end of the movie they’ve professed their love to each other. This happens moments before EVERYONE DIES.
This is easily the closest a film has gotten to turning me into a blubbering fountain of tears as far back as I can remember. While I thought there might be some chance that they’d go with the happy ending and somehow have the asteroid averted, doing so would have simply ruined the movie in my opinion. The whole reason it ends up being such a beautiful tear-jerker is because of the tragedy. They just found each other and then the world literally ends in an absolutely terrifying way.
I desperately wanted to drive down to my girlfriend’s apartment and tell her I loved her and just hold her for the rest of the night, and in retrospect that would have been the right choice as I only got about three hours of sleep before the nightmares woke me up.
Death is a very scary thing to me, and as such I rarely think about it. I don’t have any belief in an afterlife or reincarnation, so what I get is what I’ve got. Nor have I had anyone close to me die yet so I’ve been insulted almost entirely from the concept. It’s hard to imagine how I would deal with the knowledge of my own looming demise, but I suspect I would be more in step with Penny than I would Dodge, who in the final moments manages to find calm, acceptance, and joy in what little time he got to have with Penny.
The movie is a great reminder to cherish what you have and to let those you love know it. If you’re looking to have a good cry I highly recommend watching the film, though not alone. At the very least you should have a pet nearby that you can pick up and squeeze.
I highly recommend a corgi.

More from the Wayback Machine
It’s always interesting to see what you’ll find digging through old files. Case in point, I found an old website I made for fun back in the day when I was playing around with HTML. It was a spoof on a brewery company, replete with a full array of beers and even job openings.
Sacrilege Beer
'Jesus turned water into wine. We did him one better.'
A smooth tasting lager, Sacrilege entices your senses with its robust flavor and just a hint of nutmeg. Our best selling beer to date, Sacrilege is bound to appease even the most discriminating of palettes.
Steel Gauntlet Beer
'Nothing brings the color back to your face like a shot from a steel gauntlet.'
Steel Gauntlet doesn't pull any punches. Its wickedly potent taste will wake you up and then knock you back down. Its power comes from its special blend of ingredients, including a unique added shot of jalapeno pepper.
Murkwood Drought
'Any thicker and you'd be eating it with a knife and fork.'
Using an old family recipe straight from the swamps of the Mississippi, our Murkwood drought is so stout its actually been used as syrup for pancakes on occasion. Nothing is better for when you just want to sit back, watch tv and vegetate for hours on end.
Hemlock Ale
'Sure there are a few permanent side effects like blindness and loss of hearing, but we dare you to find a better brew!'
Other beer companies like to play it safe and stay away from contents that some folks, say, the FDA, find dangerous, but we like to push the limits at DU, so if you're a real man (or woman), then try to survive...HEMLOCK ALE!!!
Didactic Conveyance
'We don't know what the name means either, but after you have one you won't give a damn.'
Not even the folks here at DU know what exactly goes into this beer. At the end of every brewing session we take what we have left over and mix it together with some other odds and ends. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, but always different.
DESTRUCTION OF GOD
'Oh, shit.' -God
The sole reason behind the creation of the Depleted Uranium Brewing Company, this beer came from a promise made between two good friends on a car trip to the amazing bar/restaurant Brickskeller. To learn more, check out the whole story in the Company Info section of our website. Oh yeah, this beer is the fucking bomb yo!
