For the record, Trader Joe's has a pre-marinated Cabernet pot roast, and it is So. Fucking. Good. A little too much pepper for me, but I've been told that I have a low tolerance for pepper, so it's probably just the right amount for most humans.

So. Fucking. Good.

Open package, place in oven (or a slow cooker if that's how you roll), wait the appropriate amount of time, slice meat (or NOT, because it's so tender), and then chow down like a mammoth-hunting caveman!

Oh, yum. I shall have to try that.

The one one the subprime mortgage fiasco?

Yep. Really good.

That's not a bunny, that's a tribble.

Yep. Really good.

The Giant Pool of Money, Explained

By far the best explanation I've heard of the Housing Mortage/Credit Crisis is -- improbably -- a podcast from the motherlode of story-telling on NPR, This American Life. This podcast is a bit different from their usual slice-o-life stories in that they try to explain something extremely complex and abstract -- but in personal stories. The episode is called The Giant Pool of Money and it's worth at least an hour of your time on your next commute. Hearing the agents all along the "chain" of events describe what they thinking in their own words is about 100 times better than reading about it.

Actually, this was a joint production of This American Life and NPR News.

Poor over-fluffed bunny!

Two people have emailed me for gossip on (two different) places I used to work in the last hour.

Now I want to email you and ask what the other gossip is. (I think I know one)

(I think I know one)

What do you know? Hmm?

eta: I just emailed you what I know.

That bunny looks unnervingly like David St. Hubbins. And it's not just the hair.

I think someone forgot the fabric softener when they put the bunny in the dryer.
