Because books.

Some of my old lunch places were on there when I put in my old work zip. Up here, it's listing places as much as 20 miles away.

It's Friday, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

IT IS FRIDAY!

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Electromagnetic candy! - Stark

Bah. I am the Queen of Gronk; all will bow before me and offer libations and cute cubbish cabana boys.

See this hour? I have yet to sleep. The fury and disappointment of the Car Situation prevented any rest whatsoever; I read a lot, did some crosswords, and stewed all night. At one point my temper actually made me break a sweat, lying down.

Unhealthy, I'm aware.

Billytea, if the BSG turn changes today, please email me. I will not be on b.org at all - I have to marshal my one remaining brain cell to do work-work.

More advice on what to order at fancy restaurants: [link]

Tyler Cowen, an economist at [George Mason University], has similar advice when ordering in a fancy restaurant. He advises diners to pick the item that sounds the least appetizing (he gives the example of Monkfish). He reasons that an unappetizing sounding item would not be on the menu unless the chef could make something truly exceptional out of it.

Chicken and steak are boring and easy to cook well at home. If you have the opportunity to sample the fare of a top-notch chef, it's best to choose the item that you can't get anywhere else.

I never order fish on Monday, unless I'm eating at a four-star restaurant where I know they are buying their fish directly from the source. I know how old most seafood is on Monday - about four to five days old!
