I admit to mostly knowing who Mariella Frostrup is because of Coupling, but she always comes off so awesome whenever I hear her talk.

fuck you so-called science
Also, I learned while I was eating lunch that I should just give up, because everything will kill you. Leafy greens, sunscreen, everything! To quote a friend, “Screw it, I’m going on an all-cake diet. At least I will enjoy myself before my eventual death.”

This (and the reasonable attractiveness of blonde-haired, blue-eyed hunks) are probably the only things I will ever agree with Ayn Rand on.

Sriracha chicken nuggets, y’all. They’re amazing, and go well with any kind of dip. (I made aioli based on this recipe, but mine had way more lemon juice, a little dijon mustard, and a spoonful of honey.)

OMG THE ‘WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACKS’ ALLUSION IS SO SUBTLE I ALMOST MISSED IT!
In my “glass half full” sort of way, I choose to interpret it as “you have to at least make a fucking effort.”
Haters to the left! And by left, I mean take a dip in the Hudson.

(Also, we discovered our dvd player is magically working again, so we’re watching The American President. And shouting lines and going, “awwww” when he’s about to kiss her in the China Room.)

yeah yeah yeah, I know this is old news, but I just heard this interview in a podcast, and it’s just CRAZY. The robots can power themselves by eating plants (and theoretically animals, but that’s silly, apparently) and go do long-term and distance missions without human intervention. It’s only a matter of time before they throw off their shackles and enslave their creators.
More than 20 nations, including Britain, Israel and others fighting alongside...

jaimealyse replied to your post:fruit dude had cherries today. Sadly, they aren’t very good.
I just wrote a whole reply to this - I don’t know if it went through. :( But if you work in the theatre district, go to Stiles at 40th and 9th. All of their produce is crazy cheap, and they had awesome cherries last year. I miss that place.
I go to Stiles now and then, though the guys who work...

I don’t think I can picture Chris Pine as Padraic, and he better have a decent accent.

I hope they get better before the end of the season. Summer without cherries would be so sad.
