This week's Friday Five - on Friday, no less.

1. What drinking water do you prefer -- tap, bottle, purifier, etc.?
I admit that I'm a bottled water junkie - I love Dasani. Why? Because I like the blue bottle. I know that doesn't really make sense - other than that I also know that it is specifically marketed to women. Guess it worked. After bottled water I prefer purified water. We have one of those Brita filter water pitchers at home - a wedding present from my brother - and we use it religiously...

2. What are your favorite flavor of chips?
I like Kettle Baked French Onion quite a bit....sometimes I get the odd hankering for some salt and vinegar chips, but I rarely indulge...

3. Of all the things you can cook, what dish do you like the most?
Lately, I hardly cook at all...but I love making soup. I love the process of it. All that chopping of vegetables and pinches of spices and hours of simmering. In the winter time it's the best thing ever to make soup on a cold and rainy Sunday afternoon....

4. How do you have your eggs?
I like egg white veggie omelettes. Also, Cafe Bernardo, here in Sac, makes a mean breakfast burrito with black beans and verde salsa and a hearty tortilla.....mmmm, Bernardo Burrito...

5. Who was the last person who cooked you a meal? How did it turn out?
Um, does Cory making me veggie dogs count? They were great! Hmmm, besides that, the last person to make me a meal was a woman who I'm writing a story about - she made me macrobiotic soup and oatmeal for breakfast. Sounds like an odd combo but it was good and the company was fun...

Enough talk about food, now I'm hungry...so last night was the Kings-Mavericks game at Arco, it was absolutely great. We had amazing seats which more than made up for the drunk obnoxious guy who kept yelling DEEEEEEEFFFFFFFFFFFFFFENNNNNNNNNNSSSSSEEEEEEEE in the loudest, raspiest voice ever until he finally disappeared - presumably to pass out somewhere in his own puke.
I guess I did a lot of my own yelling though. My vocal chords are certainly aching today. Not to mention my muscles - all that jumping around and tensing up, you know. The last 8.5 seconds of the game were definitely tense - but the Kings pulled through and now it's on to Game 7 in Dallas...

No matter what happens from here on out though, I'm glad to know that the Kings outlasted the Lakers by at least one game.
But yes, the Bad News Bear in me did feel bad for the sight of Kobe crying...but not for Shaq though -

Anyway, I'm super super tired today but Cory's playing a show in the park with the Haints (acoustic Groovie Ghoulies) and he might even hit the stage for a couple of songs during the Ghoulies' proper set ....should be fun even though it's a bit gray and chilly outside...

Oh, wait, before I go...random web site of the day
Modest Clothing via the 601am site. There were definitely a couple of ladies at the game last night who could have benefitted from the lesson that less is not always necessarily more...
