Digesting food and pooping it out
I’ve compiled a Guide to Understanding the Food Pyramid and I’m offering it free to anyone who reads my blog.
Now, being that you’re at Sloppy Potatoes, you probably think this is a joke. You think you’ll find a list that includes all variety of potatoes: Au gratin, scalloped, baked, fried, french fried, cheesy, boiled, mashed and smashed. (Yes they are different, it’s based on the level of violence used in the process. And clearly if there was a Potato Pyramid, you would need at least 10 servings of cheesy potatoes and 8 servings of french fries per day.) While it’s not an all-potato list, the real food pyramid does in fact include potatoes. There is pure scientific fact that humans cannot survive without french fries, so to ignore them would be bad. It’s about moderation.

Another gem on Xbox Live Arcade
I don’t think I’ve explained on these pages how awesome the original Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved was. I logged countless hours of just-one-more games, long into the night. The game cost me many hours of sleep and I have a bad feeling Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 is going to do the same thing.
I only played the game for about 45 minutes, but over that time unlocked four different game modes and every one of them enjoyable.
The basics
In case you did not play the original, enemies are several geometric shapes of different colors. They all move and attack in different ways and as the game progresses the enemies come in larger, more frequent waves. It’s like space invaders on steroids, even though you can move in any direction with the left joystick and fire in any direction with the left. Smart bombs on the right trigger.

I do not own a PS3, and therefore do not have access to The Playstation Store, making The Last Guy unattainable. And that is disappointing.
The Last Guy, a top-down survival game, tasks the player with gathering survivors of a zombie apocalypse and leading them them to safe zones. It sounds simple and looks simple, but comes across as one of those games you could play for hours without noticing.
Click through the break to watch a video of the new game.

At least Annika’s sticking
around until the season is over
A couple monumental retirements were announced this week, and the ramifications are huge in their respective sports. They were both shocking in that both Justine Henin and Annika Sorenstam (shown at right), are competing at an incredible level.
It seems the grind to get to that level, and the desire to move on, has helped each of them make this decision, something that should humanize these two larger than life figures to just about everyone.

I’ll just watch this scene…
This is by no means a list of the five "best movies of all time." In fact, these aren’t even my five favorite movies of all-time. These are movies that currently make their rounds on cable television. De-cussed and edited, these movies aren’t quite as good as their video releases, but for some reason when they’re on I’ve got to watch at least a scene, or until the next commercial … and sometimes the whole thing.

A random stop at Digg.com
Okay, so a few planned ideas got thrown out the window because I made the mistake of surfing over to Digg.com today. Bad idea.
There is always something to read on Digg, and sometimes too much to read.
Among my findings today:
