The End of the World as We Know It.

Potatoes! I love them!

This video that I've spent longer editing than I planned on is encoding as I type, I'll have it up on youtube after that, and then embed it here. So complicated, ain't it?

I was torn during the editing. I filmed 16 delicious minutes for you people and finally cut it down to about 5 and a half minutes to save your weary yet patient souls all of the eating an jubilation. And some of the drive to Wendy's. You'll get to meet my giant cat too, which I know is all you really came here for in the first place. That and the 80's music. ;)

Enjoy.


I'll have the results of your input in a few days. Then, more magic starts to happen.

If I could tuuurn back time, I wouldn't,

Where Has the Love Gone? And Where Will It Go?

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls of all ages,

I
Love
Potatoes.

That's right! I've made it though this agonizing month of growth and foodery! I'll be mere hours before my date with Wendy's and their new infamous fries. I'm gonna gobble those suckers up like Pac Man in a cherry factory. You'll get video footage or pictures, I promise.
Well folks, this is the end of the line. Now, I've decided to give you all a few options.
1.) Send me suggestions as to where you think I should go next. Anywhere at all.

2.) I'll do a little something twice a week or so as a "choose your own adventure" blog, where I start the business, but I give you options (a, b, c, etc.) to choose from and whichever is chosen I present and then offer further choices. So a blog that you AND I make.

3.) I continue to journey about the land of food, meeting different characters and learning new recipes, therefore educating myself and you of the lovely (and humorous) place in which our edibles dwell.

4.) A Masterpiece Theater spoof with potatoes as the characters. (In this you really have no choice. I'm doing it regardless because I love the concept and Sesame Street's Monsterpiece Theatre that I saw on youtube.) I'll start with a story I like and you can suggest others that you want performed by our potato actwahrs.

Whatever ends up winning, I really would like this to turn into more of an interactive place. A lot of people coming together and helping make one thing has always been an idea I've been attracted to, and I don't see why it couldn't work here. You're all intellegent readers, I'm sure (except for you over there) and it'd be fun to make you part of my blog. Aw, it'll be like "our" blog. We should get towels made up.
So, either comment below, send me a little somethin' somethin' on facebook, or feel free to email me any of those numbers or input of any kind. I'll still continue, regardless; I've heard from enough of you to know your lives just wouldn't be the same without me.

On to the finality of science!

Height: a Final Fantasied Five Feet.
Weight: The End of what is 123 lbs.!

I believe I am indeed victorious. I think Mr. Lay and I will be friends at this point, but I am through being infatuated with him. He'll just have to find someone else. Let's hope it isn't you. Unless you're into that sort of thing. No judgment.

So long, but not farewell,

Rini

The End is Near. Repent!

Potatoes and I are starting to get along again. I guess.


I mean, as opposed to my hatred for them yesterday. Well, you know, truth is, I've got two days left of this spud-free lifestyle, and I can honestly say that I'm not craving potato chips at this point. Mr. Lay and I might just have to call it quits.

Those new Wendy's fries and I have a date, however, and at 12:00 a.m. on December 1st, you know where I'll be.

Be that as it may, I've had a jolly good time on this whole little adventure (except for the parts that I was dying or in a feeble struggle with potato lust) and think I'm a better person because of it. The only question is: where do I go from here?

Not that Mr. Lay will disappear entirely, you realize, but stick figure me is going to have to find a new place to live and new lessons to learn. I suppose I'll just have to keep you all in suspense whilst you wait for what's next.

Please enjoy this potato haiku:

Potatoes are great.
They will never let you go.
I love them long time.

;)

Science!

Height: a miraculous 5 feet.
Weight: a jaunty 123 lbs.

Loving you long time,

Rini
