Yeah, my mom had one of the marble ones. If cold matters for what you're making, you could stash it in the freezer for a while before using it.
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Jesse, you need IO digital cable. Then you can watch a lot of channels, whenever you're able.
If only she could remember the phone number...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I actually just went and looked it up, and I couldn't get IO digital cable even if I wanted to! A bunch of people on my street have satellite dishes on their fire escapes, so I guess I could do that, but then I'd have to figure out a new ISP, and I don't have a phone line, so I don't know what that means. Eh. I'm sure I'll keep Time Warner, and keep bitching about it!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have a wooden French-style rolling pin that I use all the time, and a marble one with handles that I use never ever. (There is also a matching marble slab to roll pie crust out on that goes with the marble pin. It currently lives on top of my refrigerator.)
I like the non-handled varieties for their ease of use and cleaning - sans handles, there's nowhere for bits of dough to get caught and stuck in.

I spent all of yesterday in a dark, quiet room trying not to puke because of a sinus migraine. I'm glad it wasn't today, because I'm supposed to go to a concert later and not being able to handle light or noise would have been inconvenient.
Mm. Food now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Cocktail Party Physics blog has an interview with the author of The Physics of NASCAR: How To Make Steel + Gas + Rubber = Speed. It's pretty interesting. The author talks about how she was essentially embedded in a NASCAR team to learn stuff....

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ugh, shrift. I'm sorry you got visited by the Migraine fairy.

It sucked pretty hard, Perkins, but, um, at least it didn't ruin my weekend plans?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That is a bright spot! And it sounds like it's gone, which is good too, right?
What concert are you going to?
