But I would not seriously mock someone for that (unless they timed it outloud/with a loud timer and near me).

Would you mock if one wrote a C++ program to time tea?

Is it ok to add chicken to it? I have chicken I need to use up.

Yes. Pad Thai purists can suck an egg. I'm planning to add chicken and tofu, myself.

I mock programmers as a rule, dontcha know. It stems from my ridiculous need to deny all geek or nerd attributes to a fault. (this is where I compulsively say that I don;t even know what C++ is).

Is it ok to add chicken to it? I have chicken I need to use up. Or should I just add some shrimp?

I think pad thai has both, right? even if it doesn't, throw it in there, it's your pad thai.

You can definitely add chicken to pad thai.

Go make me a chicken pad thai!

I was just sent a link to an Owen Wilson trailer that has one of our instructors in it (unsuprisingly he's the one that says he's from the Israeli Secret Service. Found out people had been sitting on this trailer which is beyond funny, but you do get to see krav defenses working in a fight movie context, which is cool.

I steep for about three minutes, but use water that has come to a boil. Most often I'm using tea bags, but I'm developing a prediliction for those pyramid shaped ones with the bigger leaves inside.

And then I dump an ice cube or two into the tea, because I burn easily.

Theoretical question #1: If you're expecting an email from someone you know but not well enough to nag, and you've had an email mishap that you know has trashed some of your mail, how do you poke them? It is theoretical because I know another way to get the info, but I was just wondering.

Unrelatedly, one of the krav employees asked me "If we're just dating, I can see other people, right?" I told her yes, and then "No, stop bogarting the men." But now I wonder if I should just have stayed out of the whole thing.

I'm so geeked about pole dancing it's goofy. This might be because I already have the requisite hooker heels--two pairs, even.

Go make me a chicken pad thai!

BWAH!

This is probably one of the cutest photos ever.

Do we know about this? The rise of the "vegansexual"

If you're a vegan who thinks that refusing to wear sneakers made from leather makes you hardcore, think again. There are vegans who refuse to have sex with meat eaters because, as South Africa's Independent Online puts it, "they see them as a 'graveyard for animals.'" These people have even been given a name: "vegansexuals."

One such woman, described by the paper as still finding meat eaters attractive even though she will not sleep with them, put it this way: "I would not want to be intimate with someone whose body is literally made up from the bodies of others who have died for their sustenance."

I am totally a graveyard for animals....

Even the WORD Manband is funny. That's gonna RULE.

The little test things say I'm ambi, but I write better with my right hand, though I've been known to forget which hand I write with, making my brain freeze up. However, my left side is stronger during workouts.
