![]() None of us were sure if it was the fire alarm or the lockdown alarm, so we all head out into the hall to check and no one’s out there, so we head back in and climb under our desks as is lockdown procedure. Drama at my drama class: One time my drama class’s teacher had gone home sick so we were just put in a classroom with a movie to entertain us for the period when an alarm went off. And if I didn’t want it, I could sell it for money.ĥ. ![]() I would then try either brown, blue, or green, and always get in, then I would go to their house and send all of their furniture and decorations to my own accounts. So I would go to popular locations in Nicktropolis and write down random usernames who were also in those areas, and then I would log out and type in the username as if it were my own and see which of these usernames had a security question set to “What is your eye color?” (Which was most of them, since it was easy and we were all kids). And if you forgot your password, a security question you could choose was “What is your eye color?” and if you got it right it’d tell you your password. How to win at video games: When I was little, I would go on all the time and they had this game similar to Club Penguin, except it was called Nicktropolis. They caught me through this video where these guys at the party were singing Beyoncé while I was in the background with a can of tuna.Ĥ. While everyone was getting trashed, I went around putting tuna inside all the curtain rods and so like weeks went by and they couldn’t figure out why the house smelled like festering death. All the fish: I went to this girl’s party the week after she beat the shit out of my friend. The teacher also retired that year and had already thrown out his records, so they had to take my mother’s “proof” (the fake ones I made throughout the year) and “correct” the “mistake.” I’ve never told her the truth.ģ. She was PISSED-at the school for their error. I forgot that they mail home the end-of-year cards, and my mom got it before I could intercept with my fake. The fake report card: I failed the first quarter of a class in middle school, so I made a fake report card. He looked me dead in the eye and said, “This is the worst part.” I then watched this boy open the oven and pull the pizza out with his bare hands, rack and all, screaming at the top of his lungs. ![]() We were watching the movie and the oven beeped so the pizza was done. He rented a Redbox movie and made a pizza. Now that’s what I call stupid: In my junior year of high school, this guy asked me on a date.

Our waiter suggested that we sample a variety of the Cobalt Oysters available. Yes, that’s right, neither of us had sampled this delicacy prior to visiting Cobalt so we were both a little nervous and excited at the same time. However, this was unlike any other sampling as this was the first time that Heather or I had tried oysters. Just like many other restaurants in this part of USA, Cobalt is famous for their high quality, award winning oysters so it was natural that we had to try them for ourselves. My one word of caution here is to be careful how much you eat because the serving portion is probably too much for two people, especially if you want to enjoy the rest of your experience here. I may not be qualified as a huge food critic or even a ‘foodie’ in today’s modern age, but I will say that this provides a perfect blend to start your seafood experience at Cobalt. However, the real winner is when you begin to taste this dip. Served with warm French bread, the appearance is just as delightful as it sounds on the menu. The dip is a mixture of blue crab and bay shrimp caught directly from the nearby Gulf, combined with roasted red peppers, parmesan and Swiss cheese. We both generally like dips and given our fondness for seafood, it was natural we wanted to sample this. Meal 1 – The AppetizerĪfter ordering our drinks, we immediately decided to order the Cobalt Crab and Shrimp Dip which was a really appealing appetizer to both of us. Given that our experience of all our options was amazing, I would recommend trying all these but based on everything we have heard regarding Cobalt, they are well recognized and renowed for many of their menu options. Perusing the menu for the first time may seem a little daunting simply because there is so much to choose from and so many of the items look appealing. Technically our dining experience probably wasn’t an official 5 course meal but given that we encountered 5 unique dishes throughout the night, this is the best way to breakdown our dining here. He took our drink orders and proceeded to provide a few recommendations and seasonal dishes that were on offer at Cobalt.īefore detailing our full dining experience in terms of each course we sampled, I will say that Heather and I are usually ‘one course’ type diners so to experience a location where we were able to experience a full 5-course meal was way above and beyond our expectations but this is exactly what we encountered at Cobalt. Our waiter arrived shortly after we were seated and we immediately knew that the service was going to be great. The overall ambience and atmosphere in the restaurant was really relaxing and romantic, providing a perfect setting to enjoy our luxury seafood experience. We had a reservation for 6:30PM on a Saturday evening and we were immediately taken to our seats by the large windows overlooking the bay. Of course, our visit to Cobalt was in the evening so we were not able to see very much but by all accounts the views overlooking the bay are stunning.Įvery table inside Cobalt provides views across the bay, so I would highly recommend checking this spot out during the day to really make the most of the scenery. Located under the Perdido Bay Bridge in Orange Beach, Alabama, the first thing you notice as you approach Cobalt Restaurant is the location and the gorgeous views you likely can appreciate during your visit. ![]() ![]() We spent over 2 hours at this restaurant and the time just flew by confirming that this truly is a ‘timeless treasure.’ Cobalt Restaurant Location Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Cobalt is truly a timeless treasure.īefore heading to Cobalt, I checked out their website to take a look at the menu and I was immediately struck by the above quote but of course didn’t think much about it until after our experience. However, our experience at Cobalt Restaurant in Orange Beach really makes me believe you would have to go a long way to find something better or more inviting than the experience we encountered here. I will say that this stretch of coastlines spoils visitors for choice in terms of variety and the number of seafood restaurants available. One of the most exciting aspects about heading to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach was the thought of sampling some of the finest seafood given it’s location along the Gulf of Mexico. Swift performed the song live while supporting as the opening act for other country-music artists' concert tours, and included it on the set list of her first headlining tour, the Fearless Tour (2009–10). The video received a nomination for MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist, but lost to Tokio Hotel's music video for " Ready, Set, Go!". The song's music video was directed by Trey Fanjoy and features Swift as she sees her love interest develop a relationship with another female. The single was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). "Teardrops on My Guitar" peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was Swift's first pop-radio crossover single on the Mainstream Top 40 chart. They complimented Swift's vocals and songwriting for earnestly portraying heartbreak. Music critics have conflicting opinions about the song's country-music classification those disagreeing said it had a pop-music production. ![]() Musically, the track is a gentle acoustic guitar-driven ballad that incorporates mandolin and fiddle. Swift was inspired to write "Teardrops on My Guitar" by her unrequited love for a high-school classmate. It was included on the international edition of Swift's second studio album, Fearless, and released in the UK in 2009. The song was released to US pop radio as a crossover single in November 2007. Big Machine Records released "Teardrops on My Guitar" to US country radio on February 20, 2007. Swift wrote the song with Liz Rose, and Nathan Chapman produced it. “Though they bear numbers, they are not arranged heirarchically - each Commandment has equal import." Teardrops on My Guitar" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift and the second single from her self-titled debut album (2006). Even a lima bean has to have a piece of wet paper around it to make it grow. ![]() If you have a roof on your house, the hot air can’t escape. If you don’t play your guitar for more than a day, be sure you put a saucer of water in with it. When you’re not playing your guitar, cover it and keep it in a dark place. Then you have to get that stink onto your music. He just stands there like the Statue of Liberty - making you want to look up her dress the whole time to see how he’s doing it. Another key to the church is Hubert Sumlin, Howlin’ Wolf’s guitar player. His song “I Need a Hundred Dollars” is warm pie. He was a Detroit street musician who played in the fifties on a homemade instrument. But make sure you are not standing in an open field. Just hit a big chord then run outside to hear it. Your instrument has more clout than lightning. If you can trap that feeling, then you have something that is fur bearing. You should play like a drowning man, struggling to reach shore. If your brain is part of the process, you’re missing it. But an electric guitar attracts Beelzebub. You have to be an equal opportunity employer in terms of who you’re brining over from the other side. Old Delta blues players referred to guitar amplifiers as the “devil box.” And they were right. If the bush doesn’t shake, eat another piece of bread. Wait until the moon is out, then go outside, eat a multi-grained bread and play your guitar to a bush. Use it to find spirits in the other world and bring them over. They fly really fast, but a lot of times they aren’t going anywhere. ![]() ![]() Birds know everything about how it should sound and where that sound should come from.

If you're not, then the appeal may not be so great but there are plenty of other features and enhancements in OS X Lion worth checking out. If you're an iPhone or iPad user that loves iOS, OS X Lion can't fail to impress. OS X Lion is an impressive operating system that brings the Mac closer to the iOS experience than ever before. You can also now simply drag and drop files to other Macs in your vicinity or network via your Mac's AirPort wireless connection - a nice little feature that makes working with other Mac users easier then ever. There are many other enhancements to OS X Lion too such as the ability to backup to local drives with Time Machine and there's a new handy migration tool for those switching from Windows to Mac. However, OS X Lion relies on the application being "Auto-Save Aware" for this function to work. In addition, your work will be saved automatically and you can go back and re-visit old saves and backups. ![]() When you resume or restart your Mac, OS X Lion will resume or recover all of your documents and windows open from the last version.

Get a convenient overview of your open windows and applications in OS X Lion's Mission Control and access/organize applications much quicker with Launchpad. Thanks to the MacBook Pro Touchpad, the Magic Trackpad and the Magic Mouse, you can perform actions using various finger movements in OS X Lion. The most important new features in OS X Lion can be summarized as: This obviously means that you won't have a recovery disk if something goes wrong with OS X Lion, but OS X Lion creates its own "Recovery HD" partition which, while taking up valuable disk space, means that reinstalling should be easy enough. There's no installation DVD as with previous versions of OS X. The other major change in OS X Lion is that you can only upgrade via the Mac App Store. While some will no doubt love the new way of navigating OS X, others may not want their Mac turned into one big phone or iPad - in which case you can always still use the mouse as normal. To take advantage of the many new finger gestures to navigate OS X however, ideally you'll need either a MacBook Pro with Magic Trackpad or an external Trackpad (around $69) although a Magic Mouse will also suffice.įor those used to using an iPad and iPhone, the OS X Lion gestures will come more naturally but for others, there will be some learning to do, although there are some excellent video tutorials included in the new Trackpad preferences pane. The biggest change however is far closer integration with iOS, the operating system of the iPhone and iPad. According to Apple, OS X Lion comes with more than 250 improvements and new features although many of these are minor tweaks. ![]() ![]() Recipes: Bartender offers players a variety of recipes ranging from simple to complex, including cocktails and other drinks.
