second McLovin' reference I've heard today. odd.

it is a weird day at work, something in the air.

Not that anyone here is doing it, but it would be nice if people didn't treat me like a moron for calling the venue to find out about their ID policy.

Yeah, sadly, I'm wondering what the evidence is against the guy, other than her word...awful if it happened, but what are the chances she was just skipping saturday school, and when her parents came to find out, she made up some story? Or even, he DID force her into the car (not good), with the intent of taking her to saturday school?

Allyson, congratulations!

MCR will just have to pick another super dramatic emotional song.

I want them to cover "Rock 'n Roll Suicide" by Bowie. Yes, I actually want a cover of a David Bowie song.

shrift, you're totally not a moron. Last live concert I went to, I think I confirmed the camera policy three different times.

WHEE! just found out some things I have to sell are worth more than double what I thought. Must get listed tonight.

I cleared one pile off my desk. I guess I should start on those contracts.

So you know how I was raving about nonfat Greek yogurt the other day (specifically, Fage)? My lunch deli started stocking more and more brands of the stuff. There's like five brands of nonfat Greek-style yogurt. Today, for the first time, I noticed they had nonfat Icelandic style yogurt. I have no idea what the Icelandic people are doing, but man is this good yogurt. It's practically cheesecake. So, yay, destruction of the Dannon/Yoplait crappy runny yogurt hegemony!

There is no Greek yogurt in Rochester! t counds so good!

Thanks. It's just that every venue is different, and I don't think it's unreasonable to check on policies when it's supposed to snow and I could be sitting at home watching Torchwood.

I am realizing that there's probably no such thing as Icelandic-style yogurt, and it's a canny marketing ploy by a local dairy that realizes there's a segment of the populace that's looking for something snootier, fancier, more exotic and less peasanty than the really similar Greek-style. But it tastes real nice!

Leaving marketing aside, I cannot recommend the thick yogurt enough. Given that it's nonfat, I try to use it with anything that would normally take cream. Last night we made a flank steak and served it with a sauce of horseradish and yogurt (among some other things) and it was fucking great. Maybe later this week I'll make creamed spinach.

I also got some drink I never heard of before-- it claims to be fizzy, mango-flavored water (because water is healthful!), with a paragraph-long mission statement of healthiness and coolness on the label, but really it just tastes like Orange Crush. I am possibly too status-conscious at the deli.
