I vote we just keep salted caramel on another year. Quinoa tastes weird.
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I have on occasion had sex when I really wasn't in the mood, but it was more from a "give the three-year-old attention and cuddles so I can then get something done" state of mind rather than "Oh, I must appease the awesome Man Creature who has such a hard life and demanding needs."
Which doesn't say much for mutual levels of respect and all, but husbands--my husband at least--can sometimes be cuter than sad, wide-eyed puppies when they want something.
edit: Plus the cuddles are nice, and cuddles are rarely ill-timed.

What I want to know is...do we pronounce it as Kee-noe-ah or Keen-wah?
I've heard it both ways.
I haven't eaten the stuff since 1990, when a quinoa-borne stone broke my left rear molar. It was gruesome and painful for a very, very long time until the glory of the gold crown I got in 1998.
Quinoa. Feh.

It is pronounced as msbelle says, but it's fun to say "Noah Kee-noe-ah".

Re: organicube. The pictures and diagrams are not very good, so maybe I'm visualizing this wrong. But it looks to me like all the curves and things are actually wasting some of that limited space.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
3 Smart Things About Sleeping Late
1 // You may need more sleep than you think.
Research by Henry Ford Hospital Sleep Disorders Center found that people who slept eight hours and then claimed they were "well rested" actually performed better and were more alert if they slept another two hours. That figures. Until the invention of the lightbulb (damn you, Edison!), the average person slumbered 10 hours a night.
2 // Night owls are more creative.
Artists, writers, and coders typically fire on all cylinders by crashing near dawn and awakening at the crack of noon. In one study, "evening people" almost universally slam-dunked a standardized creativity test. Their early-bird brethren struggled for passing scores.
3 // Rising early is stressful.
The stress hormone cortisol peaks in your blood around 7 am. So if you get up then, you may experience tension. Grab some extra Zs! You'll wake up feeling less like Bert, more like Ernie.
