Binkomonster!

Getting ready to fly to Europa

Leaving home sweet home on Sunday, getting ready to fly off to Sweden, France and England.
All would be great except that in the last 24 hours I have come down with the flu and its making me pretty irritated. I hate being sick.

Interesting tidbits from everywhere

The news. Not always boring.
Always a little snarky piece somewhere that provides amusement.

Things of interest today?

No doubt picked up by millions of blogs everywhere (and no surprise) Rocco is getting sued. Oh man. Finally! I hate the show, I hate the chef, and the food looks like it's complete crap (my theory supported by several reviews that I've read). Such a shame as I hear the man was (is?) quite a talent over at Union Pacific. This is what happens when you begin to believe your own hype.

Then there's the ongoing Martha saga. Altering phone records, dumping stock on a tip you weren't supposed to have. Bad thing, Martha. You should know better, especially having been a stockbroker once. Yep, insert "believing your own hype warning" here.

Reason to celebrate? (Though only if it REALLY gets rid of asswipe Michael Eisner) Comcast is looking to buy Disney. Good thing. The Mouse really needs some change.

An Ode to BooBoo

Finally finished doing my work for the day (yes, I know it's 1 am, please don't remind me).
My task was made somewhat easier by the fact that I was kept company by our little kitten, BooBoo, as I typed away. He curled up right next to me, and just purred away, giving me that melt-your-heart-into-a-puddle-of-goo face every now and then.
Such a soft, cute, adorable little marshmallow.....DEFINITELY worth the effort of writing sonnets.

(yep, there he is, hoarding all the $$$, for what I don't know... better kibble?)

The Art of Binkomonster Intoxication, A Nod To Our Favorite Poisons

The top ten. Drinks, libations, potions. Whatever you call them.
What we like to quaff when the mood strikes us (and it does often).

The Binkomonster Top 10 SF Foodie Haunts

Be aware! This list is ever changing as we continue to explore ruthlessly.
Venues move in, and haunts drop out (consistency after all is key).
This also doesn't mean that if it isn't on here it isn't any good (we just may not have gotten to it).
Acquaintances seem to agree with the recommendations we provide,
but hey, everyone has their own taste buds... so read on.

Caveat : no numbers are included. If an establishment makes it to the top ten, that is enough.
Because some days, Gary Danko is a 1, and some days its a 3, and it changes too rapidly to assign a fixed number ranking.
