We didn't have sex, if that's what you mean. That's all I do now, not have sex.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Oh, and if you like the Amy's brand frozen pizza and burritos, I'm 99% sure that the TJ's brand are just repackaged Amy's, for about half the price.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Money and friends can get really uncomfortable when they're mixed, depending on the friend. I just got back from my book group, and one of the members heads the local Planned Parenthood. They're having a fundraiser, and she asked for contributions in book group. Of course I support the organization, and I want it (and her) to succeed. But I'd much rather get a letter in the mail and take some time to decide what I want to give and when I want to give it.

In less fraught news, I'm now planning on hitting TJs after work tomorrow. I'm thinking I should print out this page of the thread first.

I'm fully cognizant of what I got into when I started loaning her money and paying her kid's preschool. I have my own issues that are me alone. But, I don't want to become the bankofsara to her. And we're getting close.

Also, if you want to try whole wheat pasta, the TJ's brand is by far the best I've tried. Well, probably tied with Bionaturae, but about a quarter of the price. Way better than the brands I've tried from regular grocery stores.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, you're going to need to put a brake on that. Good luck....

Why do I have hiccups??

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I know lots of vegetarians and vegans that are there because of nonviolence. They might find that ad insulting or at least not clear on the concept

ION, pretty typical for PETA.

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

I'm sure Che would be thrilled too.

If he survived the freak-out he'd have when he saw his face on eighty thousand trustifarian hipsters.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Whoa! My Tivo is full of stuff. Including people I know.

My friend Alberta (best bartender in the world) has a web based show called Cocktails On the Fly. And it's on my Tivo listings! (under free videos)

And now it's got Live365 which is a web based independent radio thingie put together by the husband of my friend Dr. Ann.

So I realized the obvious thing which is that while Microsoft is trying to be All Media and Apple owns music with iTunes, that Tivo has actually attached a computer to my television and I'm now browsing way more than cable through the linux box.
