The thoughts of Brian and Courtney and now also represented by a new sister site! MegaFireOnYourFace.com MegaFireOnYourFace was created to be a picture only blog. The name comes from a late night comeback from Courtney. I said something, I’m sure it was assy, and she replied: “Mega fire on your face bitch!” It was very [...]

Day five. June 9th, 2008. Our last day. How sad. But at the same time it was so much fun! My brother had to go back to work, so we were on our own for the day. Our first stop was a trip across the Brooklyn Bridge. It’s about one mile across and many people who [...]

Day Two. Friday, June 6th 2008 We didn’t have a lot planned for day two except for an eating tour that started at 1P.M. and the Royals vs. Yankees game in the evening. This was probably a good thing. When I woke up and came out into the living room all I saw were beer [...]

Back at the beginning of June, Brian and I took a trip to New York City to visit my brother, Matt. He has lived in Manhattan for several years now, and it is nice to take advantage of him while we can (I don’t think he wants to live there forever, and I don’t blame [...]

So, I think we are done with the excavation of our patio. Let’s break down how shitty it was: We had to remove about 205,632 cubic inches of soil- that converts to 4.4 cubic yards (the cubic inches sounds so much more impressive). According to a few sites I found referencing industry standards, a cubic [...]

July 18th Edition I don’t really have any commentary on this recipe. Brian likes Mexican food, pastry shells are tasty, and this recipe is easy to prepare (a common theme on Fridays). Taco Pot Pie 2 frozen pie shells, thawed 1lb ground beef 1 package taco seasoning 1/3 C water 1 head of garlic, minced 1 small [...]
