In my extremely regional cuisine, pickled jalepeños are a garnish, not an ingredient. Like...pickles. Or a sprig of parsely. And unpickled ones are rarely the pepper of choice. When there's Hatch chile to be had, jalepeños are a waste.
Just keep walking, preacher-man.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Adding to the growing compendium of Kuiper belt objects, astronomers have spotted two new moons orbiting Pluto. Observations with the Hubble Space Telescope from May of last year show two tiny dots revolving around the same center of gravity as the ninth planet and its largest moon, Charon. Reporting the finding today in Nature, the researchers speculate that the tiny companions formed in the same cataclysmic collision that produced Charon.
"We used Hubble's exceptional resolution to peer close to Pluto and pick out two small moons that had eluded detection for more than 75 years," says Hal Weaver, an astrophysicist at Johns Hopkins University and the discovery team leader. "That was somewhat surprising because ground-based observers had been trying for more than a decade to find new satellites around Pluto," adds astronomer Max Mutchler of the Space Telescope Science Institute, the first to see the moons in Hubble's images.
The moons have not been named yet. We should go on all the Firefly boards and start a petition to name one of them 'ita.'

I'm watching last night's "A Week of Dressing Dangerously". I really hate Dawn's boyfriend.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Lee, we might make it over there, if you're feeling a need to hit a Lush.
Cool. We should probably make more plans other than "I'll be at the Marqueen Hotel starting late Friday night", but somehow nothing much comes to mind. Maybe if it's nice out we can hit the zoo or something.
eta: me too, sj, me too. Her family sucked too.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Good date, I'm assuming.
Yes. I'm looking forward to this one, but ack, apartment messy and very little time to clean.
