Oh, House is going to do something wonderfully awful. And if anyone thinks that's a spoiler, they don't know House.

People keep saying that Sue. And i understand what you mean. But seriously? It's all a mystery.

Seriously, I remember in the beginning having about 50 pages to read for class. And it was taking about 20 minutes to get through a page with having to look up every frickin word. But towards the end, I could almost read it as were normal English.

For some reason, Gawain and the Green Knight was totally incomprehensible to me. I gave up and got a modern translation.

At the grocery store the package of meatless chicken shish kabobs looked enticing, but previous experience with tofu convinces me that chicken-flavored marshmallows are not a dish I'll enjoy.

I bought TGI Friday's spinach dip, but no chips to eat with it.

Vegetable buying went well anyway.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I bought TGI Friday's spinach dip, but no chips to eat with it.

Oh, that goes good on crackers, bread or veggies just fine, too. Or in case of an emergency--eaten with a spoon.

Um...not that I would know about that or anything.

Also, duh, I could learn how to make miso soup, which I love and would totally eat.

1. Heat water

2. Add a Tablespoon or two of miso paste

3. Stir

I know it's not right, but I do it anyway.

I'm Lee and Jilli on this. Sometimes I do reword to avoid using it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Ivana Milicevic (she played Sam Finn in BtVS s.6 ep.15 "As You Were") is the guest star for the A story on The Unit.

Had to laugh at Bob's sour comment about helicopters. I've heard several variations on that theme from a number of pilots and mechanics. Wonderful, fascinating, scary, horrible machines.

I really didn't expect them to go for the happy ending like that.

If you want to be hardcore, add a tablespoon of hon-dashi per cup water before stirring in the miso paste. (It vastly improves the taste.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

GC! A raise and a layoff in the same day...oh, that is bitter salve indeed. I wish her the best in her search.

Thanks, ita. Back at you with the search part.

ION, has the new Weird Al song/video been posted here yet? I know, I know, "Weird Al?" I thought that, too, and then I watched the video (a take-off on Ridin' Dirty called, wait for it, White and Nerdy). It's effin hysterical. Be on the lookout for the brief Seth Green appearance: [link]

Some lyrics:
I been browsin', inspectin' X-Men comics
You know I collect 'em
The pens in my pocket, I must protect them
My ergonomic keyboard never leaves me bored
Shoppin' online for deals on some writable media
I edit Wikipedia
I memorized Holy Grail really well
I can recite it right now and have you R-O-T-F-L-O-L
