Day 365: Pierce My Ear

Not too siked

     Nobody is more bummed out about this challenge than I am. I've never been a fan of dudes with earrings, they're just not my cup of tea. I did an impressive job of resisting the urge to get a piercing for the project, but I guess that now's as good a time as any to finally go through with it. It's my last challenge, why not make it permanent?
     Stefanie was to do the piercing honors, but once she had the gloves on, and the gun in hand, I think she felt more apprehensive than honored. She kept saying that she was gonna mess up and leave me paralyzed, but in time, she came around and (after one failed attempt) got the earring through. It was over in an instant, I now had a pierced ear. It felt like a pinch...and I didn't go all paralyzed and whatnot. So yeah, I've got a metal rod sticking out of my lobe, and it appears to be stuck there for the time being. Pretty cool I guess. I'm not thrilled on it being there, but at least I made my last challenge a memorable one.

Day 357: Energy Sheets

Vanna White

     Isn't that like, the most convincing commercial you've ever seen? Dontcha just want to take a sheet all over the place now? Stefanie introduced me to these little guys and to the sheet-load of possibilities that they possess. We bought them and found ourselves taking sheets in the most peculiar settings. I can't say much for how well the energy sheets worked, but it was a lot of fun making sheet-puns. They tasted like sheet, and I still felt tired afterwards, and they aren't approved by the FDA, but there's just something special about being able to say that you've taken a sheet in the Walmart parking lot. Fun times indeed!

Day 356: Horned Melon

   The horned melon, also know as the blowfish fruit is one freaky looking guy. At first glance, you'd swear that you were starring down a wild Pokemon from the grassy marshes of Pallet town. It's orange and round, yet green and spiky (just weird all over). Once you slice though it's exotic exterior, you are greeted with neon green guts and seeds. The meat of the fruit had a jello-like consistency and tasted really familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it. It was like, kind of cucumber-ish, but at the same time, it was something else. The taste wasn't very apparent, because the texture was all I could think about. It was all slimy, just like the basil seed drink from way back when. Both tasted pretty good, but looked funky and felt funkier.

Day 309: (Hot)-Chocolate- Spicy Chocolate

Sweet packaging

     A friend and co-worker of mine (Stefanie, who has quite an entertaining blog despite what she says about it. Click here to have a go with it) was kind enough to buy some spicy chocolate for me to try for this very challenge. It was Tabasco flavored dark chocolate from this crazy-awesome store called The World Market. This place is seriously the Mecca of strange new things for me to try, well and that Mi Pueblo Marketplace where I scored that terrible mexican candy. So it was one of those "I love thing A, and I love thing B, but will I love thing AB?" scenarios and it's pretty hit or miss with those (I think I'm 1 for 3 with those). To my surprise though, I found that I had a real taste for spicy chocolate. I ended up eating the whole thing and feeling like a fatty it was so good. But it's definitely not for everyone. I tried handing out samples to co-workers, friends and family, but nobody would take a taste.
