You have a (I assume at least weekly) farmer's market and you stock up on that much?

By the way Liese, that was a rhetorical question with the "you" directed at the Chicago people, but looking back I realize it totally must have seemed like I was asking you that. Sorry.

And now I miss my little egg boy.

Ah. With you now.

And mm, fresh eggs. I love them, because they're all different sizes and colors. Had a bunch of green ones last time.

I almost always got one green one in my half dozen. I forget which kind of chicken that is.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Most places I've lived have claimed to be different from other places because of being "a city of neighborhoods," so it kind of makes me roll my eyes, but I do know what they mean, and that apparently not every place is like that (I take their word for it).

Edit: It's funny because if you google "city of neighborhoods," you would have a good shot at guessing places I've lived -- NYC, Philly, Boston (not that I've lived in Boston). Also on the first page of results: Chicago.

I wouldn't call all cities neighborhoody. I think Chicago is more a "city of neighborhoods" than, say, Indianapolis.

Hah! That's exactly the cities I was thinking of when I was talking about older and newer cities.

To be all on-topic here: Anyone have guesses on ANTM winners? Losers? Make Me a Supermodel?

MMaSM--I'm guessing Ronnie, just because he really is America's Favorite (well, at least those who vote for these things). He's not a horrible choice, but I'd go with Holly if I had my druthers.

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

I am betting Perry. He's the douchebag of choice for all your douchebag needs. (Though honestly, all of them are. I bet they'd all be fine if they didn't have to spend three days a week not doing anything.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ayup, meara. Indianapolis is really kind of a manufactured city.

Yeah, I think that's really true, bon bon. I think the stresses of idleness are really telling on them. And even moreso with this particular show because of the weirdness of the realtime stuff.

I'd guess Perry. I wouldn't mind it if it were Holly.

Is it my TV, or is the sound on Dance Crew off?

The finale of Dance Crew was soo disappointing, I don't even know where to begin. Was there even 15 minutes of dancing in the whole show? But, extremely glad that Jabbawookeez won. And kind of weirded out all over again that Randy Jackson really is like that all the time, not just on AI. Also very excited that Dance Crew is coming back this summer. With Dance Crew and SYTYCD, you really won't be able to stop the beat. How is Shane gonna do both shows, though?
