19.6 23:02 I'm unhappy that it's still 80 at 11PM - carry on

2023's latest innovation space for foods what taste like other foods is Jack Link deciding to team up with fellow Frito-Lay stablemates...umm, Frito-Lay...to bring you new exciting tastes in dried meat. These have actually been around for months and more than one of you has been after me thinking this is something I'd be interested in, and you're right, but it took some intense messages from cousin Adam to finally get me to pay real cash to pick them up.

First, on the right, Jack Link's Flamin' Hot beef jerky. This annoys me right off the bat because Flaimin' Hot WHAT? Flamin' Hot Mtn Dew? Well, all that this is is another way to say "only kinda spicy." I don't even think the heat rose to the level of flamin' in any way. Maybe Minnesota spicy?

The Spicy Sweet Chili Doritos beef jerky, on the other hand, were complicated and delicious, just like your favourite purple baggéd Doritos. I'd definitely spring for them again.

One thing I didn't notice on these bags is that you're supposed to refrigerate them after opening. I always find it hard to believe one doesn't just eat the entire bag all at once...these're pretty small as far as serving size. Also, they're so heavily dried and preserved I have to think that's some lawyer talking.

These are also available as meat sticks! I bought them, too, but haven't cracked them open yet.

17.6 22:15 My last official "birthday" thing...I think. (Feel free to prove me wrong!) (Mortimers)

Hey hi! It's Saturday so that means time for your ol' radio pal CRZ to hit the studio - only THIS week I have pre-taped so I can GUARANTEE it's a pretty cool show ahead of time. New new music and your requests from 5 to 7 on Fresh Air! Don't let the fact that I'm not pushing buttons live keep you away - in fact, it might be an encouragement! 90.3 on your radio and if you hear static you might be out of range so check us out at KFAI.org or get the KFAI Community Radio app from your Google Play/App Store of choice to check out mine and like a hundred other shows at any time via our archive!

I actually ate these, like, three weeks ago - are they even still selling them? - but didn't get around to telling you about them until now because there's NOTHING here. I bought these and a bag of the Cubans (still unopened, coming soon) and knew these would be the "worse" ones. The thing is, they should taste great! How can you mess up BLT? Well, these chips have somehow manage to take all of the elements of BLT and choose as the spotlighted, highlighted, most forward flavour..... the bread. These chips tasted like nothin'! Pretty much complete failure as anything above and beyond plain. MAYBE salt....not even bacon. Don't think I'm underselling how underwhelming these tasted!
15.6 15:43 This sucks and I'm not good with it! Stephen's words are so lovely and you're in my thoughts today.

Weird night! As usual, my "introverted but will fight racism" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt 🧷

Speaking of weird Oreos, on this day I tried the period ones
13.6 22:10 
It was only a matter of time until somebody came up with a fake Dot's for half the price and these are them - a 12 oz bag is on sale for three bucks right under the $7 10½ ounce bags of Dot's. Just as crack-like with the added bonus of being so salty you simply cannot eat the entire bag in one sitting. Recommended!

Cotton Candy Oreos! (Did not buy!) Hey Jamez they still got the blackout cake ones but probably not worth a special trip

Logging into work this morning will mark the end of my birthday week. Thanks so much to all of you who wished me well here on the 'book, via texts and calls and/or in person over the past 6 days. Special thanks to the 14 of you who had no idea Zuckerberg decided to throw your not-Bitmoji into the same pose on your posts to my wall. What'll that guy think of next?

As you may or may not know, I was born on a military base in Europe, which means my actual born time is late in the evening on the 6th. For the first year in a lotta years, I was alone when that time came - I blame it on being a Tuesday this year more than me not bothering to make sure I was out with friends when it happened, but that's why there was no photo this year. (I say this mostly so next year when I visit "On This Day" and see a string of photos but none for 2023, I'll remember....on the 13th. Wait)

Believe it or not, I haven't spent as much time on Facebook during my last staycation, so I have a few snacks to tell you about that I had last week - and then we'll start on the pile Lisa bought me, or whatever I find between now and then. I dunno, I got at least 100 years left here.

More oversharing soon, I'm sure. I love you all!

Ugh. I like how my "smart" watch said "you know what, I'm just gonna go ahead and count that hour when you were totally awake so you can say you got TWO hours of sleep instead of one."

Here are CRISP DATES, a product of China - ingredients: "red date, palm oil" - we passed them around to general indifference or outright refusal to participate. They were definitely crunchy. Without any added sugar, they were definitely less sweet than my palate would be used to having. I think Lisa was more excited about these than... actually, practically everyone ;)
11.6 21:22 
At great risk to her personal health, Lisa made a special trip to collect all sorts of Asian (Mall) treats for me to dare to eat and report back on as my extended birthday week continues. Stay tuned!

Catching Pokémon during a flash flood was not on my bingo card today, but here I am, wetter than I've ever been. I'll try to dry out in time for some live radio at 5 - if it's still raining, ya might as well stay inside and fire up your radio (90.3) or thing what streams (kfai•org) and if my hair floofs nicely you can even find the live video over on Mixcloud via kfai.org/live - just kidding, I'll stream no matter how terrible I look. New new music and a whole heap of requests from 5 to 7 - check me out on Fresh Air!

What do you get a guy who has everything? My brother and his wife generously bought me the entire decade of the 1980s! As you can imagine, this sumbitch is HEAVY. Accompanying this mostly unflattering selfie is one of the very first Bloom County strips from December 13, 1980 which seems a little on the nose.

Dear Finesse: we're very sorry we skipped your show to see Love & Rockets. Love, KPV & CRZ

Just before we all went on lockdown, Arik and Observant was my new "most eagerly anticipated to see live" local act in the Cities. I'm crushed to think of what's been lost. Let's try to at least replace the tools for the future! (Hat tip to Savannah, Cody and probably other people I scrolled past before clicking)

Wow, this really sucks. Some time between 2:15 and 3:30am somebody in Uptown decided they really, really wanted my sun-beaten Pikachu from 2001 and put a hammer through my back window to smash and grab it, even leaving the bungee cord which had secured it to the seat on the street. Despite the super easy access once the window was gone, nothing else was taken from my car (most notably, the magic iPod). Presumably the alarm doesn't go off when they smash the back window? I guess a jumbo-sized Pikachu is worth a bit on eBay these days, or more than a hammer anyway, but in that condition? Damn! I assume Safelite can eventually hook me up with a new window after I spend an hour cleaning things up with the shop vac, and I did liberate my Orb and Prospect Park clings but... MAN. This sucks.

Fun fact about me: I visited the Mall of America Wahlburgers exactly one time five years ago and have never been back

How wacky was the three day weekend? Only just now, Tuesday afternoon, did I figure out that back on Sunday and Monday when this dash indicator I'd never seen before lit up, my car was trying to tell me that I'd forgotten to screw the fuel cap back onto the... you know... the gas hole. Amazingly, I managed to drive all the way out to the party and then later back home without losing the thing because the plastic bit that secured it to the car broke years ago, but when the fuel cell door closed on its own (but didn't latch) soon after I pulled out of the Holiday it trapped it, unattached, inside its compartment. It might be time to put me in a home.

Getting an invite to the pool party means I can just dump this stuff on other people without me eating an entire bag/package of chips/cookies - not that I don't mind doing that either, but better to share the experience.

I've hung out with Emma three out of the past seven (eight?) nights, but never thought to grab the selfie until Electric Feel. Back on Thursday at the Turf, she said, in front of me, to somebody else, something to the effect of "Zim's the only person on this planet I don't have anything bad to say about," to which I immediately responded "I can't WAIT to disappoint you." Oh, I also want to say hi to her mom while I'm here and reassure her that nobody's corrupted anybody as far as I know...just good hangs.
28.5 03:03 
Trying to take selfies in America as well, so from Electric Feel, here's Andy, who obviously received the memo and wore the "samo" colour as me tonight - it sure was nice of the lighting to erase most of my chins!

Live radio! RIGHT NOW! Maybe I even am gonna play the request you made in person to me last week and totally forgot making! Only one way to find out! 90.3 / kfai dot org / kfai dot org slash live! 27.5 11:35 
My feet hurt. May have overdone it last night. (And Thursday night. And, heck, probably also Wednesday night.) Anyway, gonna try to stay off my feet as long as I can but after doin' a radio it's off to the VFW for Electric Feel and another four hours of - well, I still don't know if what I do can be called "dancing" but I better figure it out before my feet fall off. Come out to Electric Feel! But not because I'll be there cos I'm gonna complain about my feet all night.
