Danskos rock. I think I need to get a new pair.
Natter Five-O: Book 'Em, Danno.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The Riches started out rollicking and then took quite a turn. Eddie Izzard is supposed to be answering fan questions in the fan podcast at the FX website.
All Tommorow's Parties is a great book. I should reread it. I should reread all my Gibson. It's been a while since I did that.
I must be, like, a subtaster. I like really acidic and bitter things. Also salty, but I think that's just the Japanese thing.
Salt and vinegar: mmmmm.
I love salty. I do not love bitter, but most vegetables don't taste bitter to me, except for things like bitter greens, which I do not like one bit. Grapefruit is also blech. Blech, blech, blech. And, of course, blech to cilantro, which tastes like soap.
Yeah, totally. Mmm, salt & vinegar. Mmm, grapefruit! That reminds me, I have grapefruit juice in the fridge right now! Oh, yeah, and mmm to the whitefont.
Bitter depends a lot on the flavor. Other than that I really like most strong tastes - spicy, sour, etc. But cilantro is still the devil's taste.
ETA: We have free grapefruit juice in my office. Yay! Actually we have a fancy schmancy coffee/espresso/latte machine and a separate one with oj, grapefruit, and lemonade. It's kind of crazy - this is our "breakroom": [link]
How crazy is that? There's a reason this company is a leader in workplace strategies, I guess. It's like a little cafe. And you can see Millenium Park and Soldier Field from the windows.
I'm home again! Yyyyyayyy.
But! No jail time, so I'm definitely one up on Erin.
Erin, Erin. My sister has a habit of racking up parking tix and other non-serious violations that just sit and sit, and I always think of you. Stop that! I'm so sorry you had to go through this, great story or not.
brenda, can I come work for your company?
I can't drink grapefruit juice. It makes my jaws hurt. I like eating grapefruit, but not too much, and only with sugar.
