At work, the Assistant Director of Housing—Brian—is retiring, so we're having a potluck luncheon. I'm going to make my shrimp dip. The recipe follows.

Ingredients

• 16 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 4 scallions, sliced thinly
• 4 oz. tiny shrimp, drained
• 3 tablespoons milk
• salt to taste

1. Mix the cream cheese and milk.
2. Fold in the onions and shrimp.
3. Season to taste.
4. Chill for several hours before serving with crackers.

• Reserve some scallions and/or shrimp for garnish
• For a creamier dip, use more milk. For a thicker dip, use less milk.
• For a stronger shrimp flavor, use the water from the shrimp instead of some or all of the milk
• Use this as a filling for stuffed, deep-fried wontons, similar to crab rangoon

Damn! I just read that there was a scene in Iron Man after the credits! Ever since "X-Men: The Last Stand", I've stayed at movies through the credits just in case I miss something. Darren drove, though, so just as the credits were playing, he wanted to leave. If I had known there was another scene, I would have told him to stay!

Apparently, the scene, featuring Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, was a teaser for the new Avengers movies coming out in a few years.

DAMMIT ALL TO HELL!

I saw "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" at the discount theater a few weekends ago. It was good, but it was lacking the mystery of the first movie.

Iron Man was totally awesome. I saw that Saturday with one of the roomies and his girlfriend.

The semester's over and it's time for me to pack and get moved. I'm not looking forward to it.

HabariCon starts in a few minutes! I'm excited. I'll be giving a presentation today, so I'm a little nervous. I'm hanging out with skippy at the registration table, waiting for everybody to arrive.

Thanks again to iPony for being a platinum-level sponsor!

This was an April Fools' Joke

Went to see "Superhero Movie" tonight (by myself). I laughed the whole way through. Go see it if you're in the mood for silly.
