When I was younger, my mom’s friend fed us something called Spicy Cheeseburger Soup. It was so glorious that years later, I still remember it.
My mom made it a few times, but just after our addiction to it had set in, suddenly ceased — with good reason. There were five kids and two adults in my family. To make enough of this soup, we’d need three pounds of ground beef and ounces upon ounces of cheese, and with all of us constantly pilfering bites from the fridge the leftovers never lasted. Since my mom couldn’t reasonably add barley to make the soup spread out over more meals (her usual tactic), it had to go.
Luckily, I got the recipe again (from tasteofhome.com — and all this time I thought my mom’s friend had invented it, that conniving fiend), and decided to make it, with some changes (no beef bullion, + garlic salt, + on the onion, + on the pepper, + Velveeta cheese) and my bachelor method of measurement (Kaleb Revelation #214: I do not own any accurate method of measuring teaspoons nor tablespoons).
At the moment, I am currently stuffing my face with it. There is cheese on my keyboard. Doesn’t it look so good?

GUYS you better appreciate your girlfriends! YOU COULD BE ME: single on Easter with nothing but a chinchilla and a big TV and a giant bottle of alcohol-free Martinelli’s!
Don’t worry. I’m fine. I’m treating myself to all the gobs and gobs of candy I didn’t give a girl back on Valentine’s Day.
ACTUALLY, I just got back home from a really fun Easter breakfast with friends . One of the other guests was a science fiction writer who, despite his denial, I still believe is related to WheezyWaiter. We talked about the future of publishing and I touched my first iPad:
The iPad is kinda amazing. It is just the right size so that I can still type with my thumbs like on my iPhone. The weight is perfect and reading e-books are great (indoors only: sunlight glare, as you can tell from the photo, could be a problem elsewhere).
Despite what the reviews say, I don’t think this will entirely kill the Kindle, as the Kindle doesn’t have that glare problem, although it will certainly force them to lower the Kindle’s price. The device is lightening fast. There is zero load time on the programs, and it starts right up with one button. It is a bit like a giant color Palm Pilot.
I’m still not really up to buying one until the 3G versions are out, and even then I’m hesitant due to its obvious lack of a webcam. Seriously Apple, how many devices these days don’t have a webcam? Imagine BlogTV and Skype once iPad 2.0 comes out. They should have one on the front and the back. Would you get one if they had all that cool stuff?
Happy Easter all you. Especially my young single adult peoples

Here are some photos I took around Los Angeles and Santa Monica today. It had rained a bit but thankfully all the water made great reflections everywhere. I started at one spot in LA and then made my way down to the Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach:
Robyn Schneider (AKA Violet Haberdasher, author of “Knightley Academy”) and I have crazy times in downtown Los Angeles! This may or may not involved pawn shops in the sketchiest side of town. Also: our review of AVATAR.
