I feel accomplished this weekend! I never get this many chores done. Three loads of laundry in, dry cleaning taken in, pedicure accomplished, shoes re-soled, trash taken out, dishes done, detergent and wine cork replaced, shower cleaned, prescription called in and picked up....
One of you is gonna fall and die, and I'm not cleaning it up!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Californians, do you ever see prawns listed on a menu, or hear U.S.-Americans talking about eating or ordering prawns? If so, is does it happen often, or rare?

yes, especially at Chinese restaurants.
or hear U.S.-Americans talking about eating or ordering prawns?
Sometimes, but not very often unless they are talking about a menu item.

Thanks, Lee. Would you be more likely to see "shrimp" or "prawns" at restaurants where you might also be able to get lemon chicken?
Here's the thing, someone (not me) is writing something. They're having one of the characters say something about a friend ordering "Garlic Prawns" and another character ordering "lemon chicken". I'm thinking "Shrimp Ailio" or "Shrimp Scampi" is probably more likely, but maybe that's a regional thing, on my part. (The author is an Australian; the character is a Californian, but one who has been to a private school--possibly a boarding school).

In a Chinese/Asian restaurant, the garlic prawns and lemon chicken sounds right, since both are fairly typical Chinese dishes. In a non-Chinese restaurant, I'm not sure I'd expect to see lemon chicken on the menu.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I forgot about how much James sucks, but it all comes back now. Didn't he totally sell everyone out at all times last year? Fucking James.

Could the Shirley Temple headed girl/woman in the new Gap ads be any cuter? [link] I think not. Maybe I'll go get ringlets from a salon this week.

Is anyone else watching Miss Universe? If you're not, it's worth catching these first 10 minutes just to see the enormous range of outfits they have to represent their countries.
msbelle: Yes, Nakomis got voted out, who knows why. Kaysar had put up her and Diane. Will and Janelle were the only people to vote for Nakomis, which I thought was interesting.
