Apparently, being an AmEx card holder has its perks.

We got to get our photos taken with some celeb chefs while at the South Beach Wine & Food Fest.

Morimoto was pretty quiet, probably because his English is limited, but Rocco was very nice and made sure to shake everyone’s hand and at least say hello even though we were being pushed through the process like we were on an assembly line.

TMT Date Taken: 1993ishAge: roughly 11Notes: Yes, I’m naked, but my old cat Mayday is doing a good job of covering up the skeeter bites. There are just so many awesome things about this photo: The look on my face. The corded phone! The fact that whoever was on the other line was so important I didn’t even get dressed after my shower to answer the call. Mayday was a raging bitch, so any picture where she’s being held, let alone kissed (by an equally naked, but modestly toweled Daniela) is a treasure to behold.

TMT - Christmas edition Date taken: December 25, 1985Age: 3Notes: This was my little sis’s first Christmas (she was just over one month old at this point), and thus my last big score before I had to start with the whole “sharing” thing. And what a score it was: Alphie II, Glo Worm, Talk ‘N Play, a Care Bear book, a Hello Kitty lunchbox and various other “growing up 80s” paraphernalia.Not pictured: sister.

Muscle Memory

{Notes}

I moved to Orlando with my bare essentials in 2002. During the intervening seven years, my parents have begged me to get my crap out of their garage.

This past weekend, they went through all the stuff in the garage, threw out a bunch of things. Among them: an original NES (I know), an ancient Compaq computer, and my sister’s old stuffed animals. Then they separated the stuff that should be kept. Luckily, my stuff made the cut in the form my foot locker and two boxes.

I totally don’t remember doing this, but this is so something that Yesteryear!Marcela—the bitch who lacked forethought—would do: there is a combination lock on the foot locker. I imagine it’s the same lock I had all throughout high school, so I think I remember the combination.

Having said that, does anybody know where I can get a sweet deal on a pair of bolt cutters on Black Friday?
