Getting a crack out of Mr. Mumbles

I get mouth ulcer and pimples from eating hot food. I try to stop biting on that red-hot pepper, but I couldn’t resist, especially when faced with a bowl of bun mam (vermicelli with picked fish broth) or hu tieu kho (dried rice noodle). Last night we went to Hai Duong after work and I ordered a bowl of hu tieu Hai Duong. The waiter brought out not one but two red peppers. One sat right on top of the pork liver and right next to the quail egg. I told myself not to do it, but I couldn’t hold back. I was like a fiend trying to avoid his crack. It was an instant gratification and now I am talking like I just had a tongue pierced. The damn blister has been in my mouth for almost a week.

Nicole McClelland:

I learned about SugarDaddy.com when an acquaintance I’ll call “Kim” recommended it to my friend, who’s had trouble finding a job despite (or because of) earning her master’s in media arts several months ago. Kim collected $900 every time she went on a date with one of her sugar daddies; another gave her $3,500 in less than a week before announcing that he had to quit her because his wife had found out. Kim’s best friend “Jill” had two sugar daddies giving her a combined $8,000 a month until one got jealous of the other. Jill has blond hair, amazing lips, and is 19.

Save the day to poop for peace:

Poop is the one experience all human beings have in common. We may have varying ideas of God and politics, but the power of an impending poop is a higher calling to which every human must answer. Side by side in a public bathroom, any two human beings are stripped of their differences and reduced to their most basic essence: a pair of feet sticking out below the stall, and a pair of butt trumpets performing a greasy symphony to lament humanity’s non-negotiable deference to the call of the vile.

Funniest shit I read today. Uh oh, gotta go make some peace. My new slogan: “a poop a day keeps the war away.”

Although most of our guests are Vietnamese, I decided to go with jazz to vibe up the reception. Besides, we already have a live band to cover Vietnamese ballads. In choosing jazz tunes, I have to keep the audience in mind. I do understand that not everyone has a taste for jazz; therefore, I have to select tracks that are easy to listen, but not over the top. John Coltrane’s hardcore style is definitely out, but his ballad-playing, like “I Love You” and “Come Rain or Come Shine,” is irresistible. Or course, Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue and Brubeck’s Time Out are perfect for both jazz and non-jazz fans.

Initially I was going to pull together one MP3 CD with both instrumentals and vocals, but I am having a hard time cutting down the selection. Even now that I decided to cut two CDs (one for vocals and one for instrumentals), I am still having hard time cutting back to fit the instrumentals on one CD. I know what not every song will be played at the short reception, but I still don’t want to leave some of the tracks off. I have to use my simple approach for design and apply toward jazz. As much as I want every song to be played at the reception, I will let the player do the random selection.
