Yes, Virginia, there really is...

... such a thing as too much chocolate.

I was feeling a little melancholy when I got up this morning, so I decided to make myself some chocolate chip pancakes. Given that my culinary skills are not as well honed as my other many talents, I ended up putting too many chocolate chips in the batter. Of course, that did not stop me from eating the ooey-gooey, chocolately goodness I had created, and my pancakes made me a little bit sick.

To pass the time while my body tried its best to metabolize all that sugar, I loaded a ton of songs into my iPod. Some are from cd's I already own; others I downloaded from iTunes. But all are very fun. I then took my newly fattened iPod to the gym where I ran five miles on the treadmill and walked another mile as a cooldown. That cheered me up far more than my diabetes-inducing breakfast had. I think I'll stick to the anti-depressant effects of endorphins and leave the emotional eating to those who cook better than I do.

Good news! I was finally able to post the photo of myself and Ann Marie from last week's blackout at Favorite Bar 2 and its surrounding neighbors. I think the problem may actually have been my computer and not Blogger, which is a mildly disturbing idea. Regardless, I know you've been on the edge of your seat waiting to see us in all out blackout glory. So scroll down and have a look.
