Perkins, you and I will go when you're staying over for your Night O'Debauchery. Which, were we really looking at the weekend of St. Patrick's Day for that? I'm thinking the next weekend might be better, unless you want to meet everyone while they're still grumpy and/or hungover.

I guess that's a little better. I don't think we'd gotten any farther than "not this weekend or next weekend", so the weekend after St Patricks weekend is fine.

You could come over here, though all we have to offer in a Thai way is the merely adequate. There is, though, a terrific pan-Asian noodle house, and Indian, Chinese, generic pub food, and even Italian if your own neighborhood hasn't killed it for you.

Timelies all!

Now I'm craving Thai food. I'm having salmon instead.

...fans of "Arrested Development" can relax. Word is Showtime not only picked up the canceled Fox show but also ordered 26 more episodes . .

...too lazy to use Bug-Me-Not to get the rest....

I'm trying to figure out what i should do about hair and makeup for my publicity photos. Kristen won't answer me because she thinks this is how friendships get ruined.

Hm.

None of my friends here play with makeup. I need to take a trip to Seattle.

Allyson, you so totally do.

And you and Jilli have similar enough coloring that she'd know just what to put you in within seconds.

He did compare The Odd Couple to Brokeback Mountain. I'm just not sure how.

Huh. Well, I always thought Oscar and Felix had a special kind of love.

Salted oatmeal is great. Freaky weird salt haters.

Today's oatmeal was with craisins and brown sugar, though.

I don't really enjoy Chinese food either. Maybe it's this:

"Chinese food is defined by a flavor principle of soy sauce, ginger, garlic and green onions" and methods including stir-frying and steaming, he said. "Once you get too far away from those rules, it is no longer Chinese."

It's the salt (from soy sauce) (bringing the conversations together) and the crunchy vegetables I just dislike. But I love non-spicy Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, and Japanese food. Indian food should be easy to get into-- it's got all these delicately spiced, creamy sauces. Love Indian.

Ah-hAA! I *hate* soy sauce and ginger!!

And I'm not wrong.

Hmm. As a disliker of salt and any vegetables whether they crunch or not, it hasn't really gotten in the way of me enjoying the cuisine. But I do like ginger. And garlic. And green onions. Like, a lot.

Ah-hAA! I *hate* soy sauce and ginger!!

Yeah, but you have to start again from scratch on why you don't like Japanese.
