I'm going to try not to angst about it too much, but it's really disappointing to get all excited about making a new friend because you had a good time at a concert and both said you should hang out again sometime, and then she declines all future invitations and finally just defriends you on LJ. Coming on the heels of cute girl angst, this is very annoying, though not surprising.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
Does the speed of cooling affect the stickiness?
Hmm, I'm not sure. I always assumed that the fanning was to help dry it out a little, but I'm not sure if I had any reason to believe that. The book I got the cooking technique from was Seductions of Rice by Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duquid, which is an amazing combination of cookbook and travel writing and photography.
I agree that soaking the nori wouldn't help. Are you eating the sushi right away, or waiting a while? That might make a difference. Maybe you could try toasting it some more and see if that helps.

“Not dead yet!”
Well, crap. I just opened a boxed item only to find that what I thought was a clear plastic lining to the box is, instead, a full sealed clamshell.
I HATE opening those things. I inevitably cut myself.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I saw a tip that you can use a can opener on those accursed things, but I tried it this weekend to no avail. Ended up using some sturdy scissors.

I swear those things break the ADA/DDA. The only way in seems to be putting them on the floor, jumping up and down on them, and hoping that whatever's in the packaging isn't fragile...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
A can opener sounds brilliant, but you'd need a really good one to get a good grip, I think.
The post-lunch dip just hit me like a freight train. Do you think my boss would mind if I took a nap under my desk?

If s/he minds, just say it was Buffista-authorized. I'm sure that should clear up any confusion.
ION, blah blah Monday blah. You know?
