What have I been up to?

1)Making North Carolina Polynesian Pulled Pork Barbecue (see below)

2)Actually talking to living human beings who make hiring decisions for the first fucking time in almost a year of job hunting

3)Watching the only state funeral I've ever seen, and it's strangely refreshing to see a truly major event on television that isn't sponsored by Pepsi or is "must-see tv" or features some slut-of-the-month writhing around on stage

4)Reading William Shirer's The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, which I bought used for three bucks

5)Drinking Spaten Premium
