batskeets | "It's like bacon is 'back' now or something." "Bacon never left!"

Y'all, if this isn't Mac pr0n, then I don't know what is. That's hot. With two Ts.

So, is Bacon officially "back" now, or something? There was that period during the low-fat/low-calorie craze where people were afraid of bacon, but now it seems to be making a resurgence into all kinds of random food, especially in desserts. Bacon is being slapped onto practically every hamburger and meat sandwich in the food service industry. I've sampled a Bacon Peanut Butter Truffle at the Pix Patisserie. And now, I learn of this: Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies. Holy jeebus. Crazy thing is, I kind of want to make those. XD

In other news, we watched 30 Days of Night over the weekend, and I have to say, the movie was going along all right until the end, when our hapless hero Josh Hartnett INJECTS HIMSELF WITH VAMPIRE BLOOD, punches through the Head Vampire's brain and scares off the other vampires--never mind that they still could've kicked his ass ten ways from Sunday if they'd ganged up on him--and then watches the sun rise with his wife, who clings to him as the sun turns him into a big pile of charred vampire ashes. Way to ruin the experience in 10 minutes or less, guys. ::eyeroll::

Fortunately,

halfempty rented Shoot 'Em Up, so we watched that yesterday, and it was much more entertaining. They crammed in probably every action movie cliche in the book, and many of the sequences were just so awesomely ridiculous that you can't help but have fun watching them. Hells yeah.

And, on a final, happy note, it must be a week for personal bests.

phrassie ran her farthest ever on Sunday (which makes me glad I didn't go to the

damnrunners meetup, because I *totally* would've slowed her down), and I hit a new personal best yesterday! It was kind of by accident, because I got all twisted around and half-lost near U of P, but I wound up running 4.6 miles! It's only a little over half a mile farther than my previous best, but that's still rad. Wushu is likely to hurt like hell today, but it was totally worth it.
