Our favorite pre-digital instagratification camera will be no more after Dec 31, 2008, after which Polaroid will discontinue production of additional film. Stock up while you can!

My blog is now greatly improved with a side of bacon. You can add do this to any website by adding "http://bacolicio.us/" in front of any URL, like "http://bacolicio.us/http://mrod.wordpress.com." And with that there will no more bacon references made on my blog. I'm calling a moratorium on that delicious meme.

Here's the condensed recap and photos from last week's Thanksgiving holiday spent in Delaware. Pooja, her cool brother Chirag and I took the Bolt Bus down to Philadelphia where Kaizar picked us up.
As we were loading into Kaizar's car the floats in preparation for what we presume to be the Philly Thanksgiving parade passed by us!
Group photo!
Oooh!
Aaaah! Wait, worst parade float ever. A freakin' ladder! Haha.

The ladies in the kitchen...
...making food for the men.</male chauvinism>
This cookbook kind of freaked me out.
Interneting dorks.
Munira and Chirag having fun with the medal that Kaizar received after running the San Francisco marathon earlier this year.
Hahaha.
I have no idea what's going on in this photo. Someone else snapped these photos with my camera while I was too busy playing with the new Google phone. Geeks say what? What.
TUUUURRRKEEEEYYYY!!!!
So much delicious food cooked all by Kaizar's mom. Yes, even that pink dish in the middle of the table was da' bomb.
We also played a LOT of games during that weekend like celebrity, pictionary, celebrity again, mafia, mafia again, and again.

Note the 121 high score. Yea, that would be ME.
