Eaties is for sale
Please buy it, so I can eat there. I'll love you forever.
It's probably one of most interesting hangouts in Asheville right now, and I don't want it to go away. Also one of your only opportunities to eat cereal in public. And confront the big bowl challenge.
They had plans for 'take out', but I always wondered if they would ever deliver. You might have to be the laziest person ever to get cereal delivered. I would love to be the cereal delivery girl. And not having to pour your own cereal and milk would be an amazing indicator of luxury. "I'm so rich I pay people to pour my cereal." Now if only I can institute a Louis XIV system where it is an honor to serve me cereal.

Trival Pop Tarts
For the first time since their invention, I have finally bought a pack of Trivial Pursuit Pop Tarts. As a fan of Trivial Pursuit and snack food with things printed on them it has long past the time that I should have gotten some of these. The flavor is "Quizberry", however I maintain that it is in fact strawberry. Well, poptart strawberry flavored.
First question: What is an adult glowworm called?
Good question. Answer: Fireflys. At frist I thought this was a riddle, but wikipedia says it's true.
Poptart number two. Question: What did Tinke Bell Like to sprinkle around?
I can only assume that they meant Tinker Bell and that I, in my craving for refined sugar - correction - high fructose corn syrup, ate the part with the 'r' before remembering my mission to type this. In any case, the answer is "Pixie Dust".
They also have nice, accompanying images between the question and answer.
There is a warning on the box "Careful: Don't eat the answer too soon!" Apparently there are "hundreds of tasty questions" so if there are any repeats in my box of twelve I'm going to be pissed. On the opposite side of the box, it says "over 200 delicious questions". While it doesn't contradict itself, it bothers me that they say the same thing, two different ways, 180 degrees from each other.
Sadly the box also informs me that a serving size is 1 Pastry and that pastry is 200 Calories. Surprisingly there are some vitamins crammed in there too. With 10% of vitamin A, Iron, Niacin, Thiamen, Vitamen B6, Riboflavin, and Folic Acid. Shockingly, the things contain "Two percent or less of... dried strawberries, dried apples, Dried pears." Wow, I'm surprised that there is some actual fruit in there under that "Hydrogenated cottonseed oil with TBHQ and citric acid (for freshness)".
No indication of what TBHQ is other than a footnote that says "Less than 0.5g trans fat per serving." That's comforting.

Cracker Barrel
So I just ate at a Cracker Barrel in Missoula, Montana. I was too excited. I think the waitress was a bit concerned about it. Anyway, it was good. Also, it's the highest North of any Cracker Barrel, barely edging out Bismark, North Dakota. Yay.

Bad Baby Names
I just stumbled across a site I had to share. Baby's Named a Bad, Bad Thing
Basically this woman has been browsing baby name forums and collecting the best of the worst.
Names with extra 'y's (Madyson)
Weird Spellings (like Zebrena for Sabrina)
Names whose meanings are totally off (like girls names that mean 'son of', madison and mackenzie being the most popular)
Use of Nouns and Verbs as names (meander, clay)
Also Themed families. (all with the same initial or similar meaning)
There are several very amusing comments though they do get old. One of the most disturbing discoveries is that people are actually naming their kids things like Nevaeh. Heaven spelled backwarks. Why!?!

One Month
In one month I will be moving back home. As always the military has messed with my plans, so now my husband will be deploying and I will be headed back east to finish my senior year. We were going to be seperated anyway, but a deployment makes it worse, and it will be for much more time than we planned.
My brother is coming out to visit and help, and then we'll begin a long road trip home.
How soon is too soon to start packing?

The Life of Pi
I recently read The Life of Pi, and I don't want to give much away, so I'm just going to say, I liked the story, the ending was weird, but now that I've thought about it I like the ending too.
Overall, I recommend The Life of Pi, it has a lot of interesting things going on, but is a pretty easy, and enjoyable read. (well, enjoyable as a shipwreck and being lost at sea can be)
If you've read it I'd love to talk about it more.
