That trailer broke me. The movie should be something else.

The whole wheat bread I just had a sandwich on was distinctly sweet. Odd.

How easy do you cry?

Um... do want to admit this?

Um, some commercials do it. I've been crying on the way home the past 2 days to NPR. It pisses me off. My tears do shit, so why bother? I'd rather be doing something or writing a check. They come anyway. And yes, over fiction too, though that I give myself more leeway.

Surefire tearstorm is a story of hedgehogs called Dearest Prickles. Or Uncle Whiskers. I'm cheap. Thank god those only live at my parents' house.

I was NOT out that long, but somehow I have a bigass meara. (Edit: On reflection, maybe not actually bigass, but still.)

Happy belated birthday, le nubian!!

How do egg whites store?

Pretty well for a couple of days, Nutty. My favorite thing to make is lemon curd + meringues. Uses the whole egg, is yummy.

ita, if your bread converted to Judaism, it would emerge as a cake on the other side of the circumcision (if it's a male bread) and the mikveh.

Hee!

My position paper on the muffin, with several appendices on improper bagelry, is not yet completed, but whatever the final work turns out to be, it will be dwarfed by the towering achievement of R. Hernandez's stunning thesis Eat A Muffin, Whitey! Truly I shall be but a dwarf standing on the shoulders of a giant.

My ass has spoken.

Again with the Hee!

First time I have ever stayed in a hotel by myself, so I am goofily excited.

That's VERY exciting, Robin! I am convinced that the occasional business trip is All Good, even though traveling all the time might be Of The Suck. A hotel room to yourself is a good time.

I got taught the delight of cinnamon in beans by a NO native. It really makes the flavor richer.

Put some cinnamon in your chili! It's teh yum.

Gonna make me cry? That'll do.

Probably weep. I'm thinking it's looking to be a three, four box of kleenex movie.

I mean, the story made me weepy, and I swear I'm not an easy weeper. Okay, didn't used to be. But still! Tears. Huge ones.

Well, the trailer made me tear up. I think it will be a no mascara/Kleenex pack in the purse movie for me.

Probably weep. I'm thinking it's looking to be a three, four box of kleenex movie.

Oh shit. I'll wait for dvd. I HATE crying in public.

I have a four-day weekend coming up, and no money to go anywhere. What can I do that's free and doesn't involve sitting on my ass at home?

Staten Island ferry!!! (Sorry, that's my default free thing. But maybe there's a baseball game in SI? That's not free, but it is cheap. And would give you a reason to ride the ferry.)

I HATE crying in public.

I do, too, but I've gotten pretty stealthy about it in movies. Almost soundless, and my eyes don't get puffy and bloodshot when I cry, so no one can tell once I'm done.

The park! Take a book you haven't read, or visit a library and enjoy the end of summer.

OK, I have to admit something: I started crying at the opening credits of Titanic. Save the costumes and Winslet, I hated the movie. But at some point in my youth, I'd done the research and so... I was an utter mess by the end. It was embarassing. I had to wait until most people left.
