I took my daughter to kansas city today to see my friends' avant-garde adaptation of the nutcracker. amazing show! no photos due to copyright......

Awesome pics everyone. Just renewed my love for Sufu, dispite of 5.0.

[leyori]

went to shop groceries but my eyes stopped at ice skating show in the mall so decided to took some pics using my iphone.

[venomous72]

This thread is the reason I registered on sufu so I thought I would contribute. My jeans have been busy the last couple weeks so I thought I would share.

I traveled up to Portland, Oregon to visit my family and introduce them to my wife. Made a couple stops:

Ate at Old Wives Tales (Vegetarian fare, normally not my style but this was wonderful):

^^^^ Cool little vintage store.

^^^^ Voodoo Doughnuts is a popular place. Line took about 30 minutes.

^^^^^ It was worth the wait. That maple bacon bar might be the tastiest thing I have ever eaten....

Had a business trip to Pittsburgh so I stopped by Primanti Bros:

^^^^ Major heartburn....

And just recently went to Indianapolis for a conference. Here is the NCAA headquarters (my employer):

[venomous72]

cont'd

Here is our sweet booth we set up:

And I got my picture with Joe Theismann:

Then we went to a local place called Jersey's Cafe and indulged:

And then when I got back to SLC I started decorating my office for Christmas:

(can't beat a fake fireplace and a moose head....)

All done in my APC's:

Cheers!

[TheCreativeD00m]

man that food looks great. The oreo donut is a fantasy come true lol.

This is the worst ever WAYJDT but!

I woke up and did a Christmas card shoot (don't want to post pics of them...seems some people get their feelings hurt being seen on the interwebz)

went to the park..sadly don't have pictures..then ate panda express

came home and basked in the Christmas spirit..

made cookies and decorated with the Fam.

kept snapping bokeh pics of the tree haha

set my drink on this not paying attention and nearly made a mess lol

then I unpacked my portfolio and set my projects back on the shelf then watched home alone 2..

my linotype print

my package design

yeah it was quite an uneventful day, but I haven't posted here in a while

[venomous72]

Holy crap those are some picture perfect christmas cookies! Mine usually taste ok but don't look near that good! Props!

Mini update. Jeans cooked a bit tonight:

Stuffed peppers. So good. Washed down with this:

[TheCreativeD00m]

thanks, and your stuffed bell peppers look mighty tasty too! I see bacon

[venomous72]

Haha I decided last minute to abandon the bacon...wasn't sure how the grease would mingle with the other flavors (and trying to be a little bit healthy). I am kind of regretting the decision.

Actually they aren't mine lol. I do wish they were though! I however have a pair of Westone 3's, they're similar but not custom molded to my ears like those are.

So I spent 3 days working on 3 cables.

Oyaide Gold-plated internals.

"The Bastard Child" - Bi-coloured 24AWG Nucleotide UP-OCC Copper terminated with Livewire MCX connectors and Oyaide Gold-plated 3.5mm right angled plug.

The satisfaction of a job well done...

[clayton]

nicely done saintkeat

[venomous72]

Decided to be healthy tonight....

^^^^ boiling in beer

They were turkey brats...therefore healthy.

Washed down with my favorite beer:

BTW sorry I am hijacking this thread with food...it's just what my jeans are always doing....

[akiragreat]

today, I worked on sanding this down

[beautiful_FrEaK]

What I saw when I opened the window this morning:

Walked to university through the winter wonderland

My beloved incubator

[beautiful_FrEaK]

And that was waiting inside for me

The destillation device for fast analyises

And the densitometer to check the alcoholic content

And the "what are you wearing today" lab edition

Working...

[shubharamani]

Beautiful_Freak, I take it that you're a chemist ? You could actually end up with "acid-wash", accidentally, huh ?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

actually I study food technology. that's a project I'm working on.

you're right so i have to be carefully when working with concentrated HCl or NaOH and stuff liek that. That's also why I wear the lab coat

Whelp today I went to the shooting range with my HK to kill a zombie or two:

^^^^ Had a low flyer on my first group, other than that i was satisfied.

Made dinner:

^^^^^ These tacos are probably my favorite thing to make. Very tasty.

reminds me a lot of where I use to live in alaska with the snow and trees

Sitting in the Shama Hong Kong for the holidays...Right now I'm in Shenzhen with the rest of our team here in China doing some work in what is turning out to be paradise this time of year...taking a bit of a holiday for the rest of the weekend.

A bit of Shenzhen...The brand new KK 100 building where the St. Regis is at.

checking out a local football match while I was out wandering around the other day.

cut up a pineapple for breakfast at a friend's place in SZ.

she has a beautiful view...

later that day we went for a long walk and a lounge down by SZ Bay Park. Absolutely perfect day to sit out and have some drinks by the water.

Sitting out on the lawn.

I thought this was a pretty damn awesome sign.

some of our gear for the day...

We laid out until the sun began to set, then we headed up towards OCT to grab some great food. no pics, wanted to escape the world for a bit so the phone was turned off and the camera stayed in the bag. I had a rack of Lamb and she had a really nice take on goulash. paired with a nice bottle of grenache.

Next day...Macau!

[-Z-]

I hadn't been to Macau yet, and everyone was saying that it is a must down here. So a co-worker of mine and I spent 9 hours there the other day soaking it all in, let me tell you I'm in love. going to go back on Tuesday I think...

Coming into the harbor on a ferry from Shekou, Shenzhen

We walked all the way from the ferry terminal into the city, which is an easy and as far as I'm concerned, a great way to get your bearings and enter the city...we traveled through some of the older parts of the city, being renovated currently. I do enjoy their current state however.

I'm still fascinated with mass - housing projects, and how they are all so similar, yet are all very different and distinguished in every part of China. Even between Hong Kong and Macau...

The entrances to this entire neighborhood interested me in particular, massive outdoor staircases behind large metal gates...very eerie way to come home.

As you head up into the city proper, Macau leaves behind the westernized oceanside run of Casinos upon Casinos...and you begin to rise up into the more european feeling portion of the city. Concrete gives way to cobbled streets and sidewalks, and everything begins to look like a strange mash up of iberian and chinese architecture.

seeing feliz navidad and hearing and seeing everything written in portuguese was refreshing and new, a strange contrast when you look towards the horizon and view the stacks of twenty to thirty story apartments stretching to the hills beyond the city.

a bit more detail about our journey in a minute......

[-Z-]

i found nothing lacking in Macau...everything was a perfect balance of what i love about chinese culture, and what i love about western culture. the place is vibrant and, a bit decadent. definitely unique. we met an older us businessman who had been in china for 15 years, 5 of which had been spent in macau. he gave us a great small tour of his favorite places in a certain neighborhood. where you can get a blow job, where you can get great Portuguese food, great chinese food, where you can get a jug of wine to drink in the park, where you should go to see the city from up high...it is a place of many different people, but it is a bright and wonderful combination of them all. i never set foot in a casino in macau. if you ever go i urge you to do the same. if i had more than 9 hours there i may have, but i never dreamed of it this time. wandering from point a to point b through point z, y, and x was more adventure than any roulette table.

more snapshots from the trip...

my man max and I with some great wine and a fine day in the park...

our third and final bottle of wine for the day...they ran out of cups at the store, so he gave us bowls. we enjoyed it on the steps of the Macau art museum in front of the fountains and watched as the city stopped. the cars and people slowly stopped riding by, and as they went off home so did we...back to the mainland.

[blackfuture]

i chug these in small bottles, can't believe they come in big sizes

da fuk is dis? it looks... milky. i think i need this.

[saintkeat]

@ Adrian pm me i'll hook you up for a price swore I'll never touch live wires again though.

@ Z really enjoyed the pictorial story in my boring lecture. Did you get a happy ending in Macau then? Heh..

@ black future that's calpis. Like a sweet yogurt drink. Really yummy.

[tvshooter]

[venomous72]

Oh look Venom's posting food again....

I do other things besides eating...I just never take pics of those other things....

Anyway, one of my favorite burgers, the pastrami burger from Crown Burgers, a local chain in SLC

Followed by a very dark beer:

Only takes a bottle of that stuff to do me in....

Oh and this was a few months ago but I thought I would share anyway. Business trip took me to Atlanta (i had never been) so I stopped by the Varsity:

^^^^ Slaw dog, chilli cheese dog, chilli cheese slaw dog, and onion rings. Worth every calorie.

And then we took some clients to Gladys Knight's chicken and waffle restaurant:

Excellent home style southern comfort food there.
