NPR did a story on Lindsay Lohan this morning.

NPR.

Lindsay Lohan.

World ending?

World ending?

It was a piece about how she's reallytruly a serious actress. I'm'a vote yes.

Dammit, why can't Bush get arrested for drunk driving?

Wait, he already did. I think some attorney named Gonzales got him off....

It bugs me when right-handed people wear watches on their right arm.

Sorry, tommy.

I used to wear it on my left hand, but then for some reason or other (maybe a rash under the strip or something? I forget), I had to switch for a couple of days to my right hand. And when it was time to switch back, I kept wishing I still had the watch on my right hand, because it was so much more comfortable. Because I'm right-handed, I use my right hand way more than the left, so it was so much easier to glance at it, while doing other things, and find out the time. With the left hand, I always had to raise it especially for checking the time, it couldn't be done while doing other things, because those other things were right-hand territory. So it went back to the right hand, and stayed there, and that was years ago. The End.

Tom, make sure you hydrate yourself, OK? And if you're hungry, try to eat only simple stuff, like maybe crackers or a toasted bread (with as little as possible other than the bread). Oh, and maybe a Coke? t /Jewish mommy

I don't think this is really the right place,

Sophia. Natter is never the wrong place. Maybe someone can point you to where a more thorough discussion happened, but EVERYTHING is always right to post in Natter (whitefont disclaimer for plot points blah blah).

• Cilantro: I am clearly not a true Buffista, because I don't even know what it tastes like.
• Muffaletta: never had this either.
• Grapefruit: too tangy.
• Calamari: not really wild about.
• Olives: hell no.
• Tomatoes: Hate ketchup, hate raw tomatoes, uneasy truce with pasta/pizza sauce.
• Root Beer: hell yes.
• Beer: Also no, which I think disqualifies me from the human race.
• Scotch: yes, and is there some right now?
• Fork: I switch.
• Watch: right handed, right wrist (sorry tommyrot). It was always one of those things that I never realized I was doing "wrong" until it was pointed out to me.
• Me: sleepy.

Food in General: Yes. Have some.

Fork: Switch? Huh? Well, I usually don't have to: being left-handed I stab the meat to keep it in place with the fork in my left hand, hack it to bits with the knife in my right and then eat. With my left hand.

Watch: Left-handed, right-wristed (when I wore a watch.) Also, wore the watch with the face on the inside of my wrist, the better to avoid banging the watch on walls or whatnot. This evidently infuriates some people.

Also: Sophia- the s2 Dr. Who finale broke me too. British TV tends to make me weep for hours (thinking about Life on Mars as well)

Cilantro: I am clearly not a true Buffista, because I don't even know what it tastes like.

Ailleann, all throughout my USA trip, I was trying to figure out what cilantro *is*. I didn't have a Hebrew-English dictionary, I had no way of finding out. only upon returning and checking did I discover what it is. Now I at least know that I don't know what it tastes like, because I'm not sure I ever encountered it here. I mean, it's made of coriander, right? We do have that, and I even use it (the leaves) in cooking, but nothing else. So I still am deep inside the big cilantro mystery.

Ah, Nilly, my sistah.

I know what cilantro is from Good Eats. I know it is highly contested here. That's about the extent of my cilantro knowledge.
