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

The 50 best things to eat in the world, and where to eat them

While I'm pleased to see the Ferry Building making the top 20 (not that I've ever had that tomato juice, and god knows there'll be a huge line now) I think Italy got slighted. So did cheese.

Scoop the cat pans.

Yeah, that'd be a good one to automate.

Because books.

Sometimes I feel almost sorry for Tino. He knows not the chaos he wreaks.

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

I am skeptical about anyone who bases "best pizza in the world" on a white clam pie.

I agree in principle, but having been to Frank Pepe's, I can't argue with their conclusions.

I do think my ex-coworker from Osaka would take issue with the claim that the best ramen in the world is found in Tokyo. Them's fighting words!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I agree in principle, but having been to Frank Pepe's, I can't argue with their conclusions.

Frank Pepe's is awe-inspiringly good pizza. Every trip I've taken out of New England in the last decade plus has included a detour to New Haven on at least one direction of the trip.

Coding and Sleeping

I'm starting to hear that there is an actual controversy over the policy czars. I'm not sure, but this might be the most stupid controversy yet.

What would you have Automator do for your life? (It automatically does routine functions.)

Laundry. Including the folding-and-putting-things-away part.

There's other general cleaning & tidying stuff I wouldn't mind having automated, but if I could pick one thing, it'd definitely be laundry. With every other chore, I get some small amount of satisfaction when it's done.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Happy birthday, Perkins!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

So with you, Strega. I hate the folding and putting away bits of laundry. It drives me mad because it only takes a literal few minutes. But I hate it and never do it and it therefore takes a year and results in wrinkled dirty freshly laundered clothes. I'm trying to be better about short stupid tasks like that and just get them done.

Which reminds me, I need to get offline and unload the dishwasher. And do the budget. And get the fundraising software working.

Damn.

I hate the folding and putting away bits of laundry.

JZ and I often split this process so I haul it to the laundromat, wash it, dry it, haul it back. And she folds and puts it away.

Though she also often does the whole thing herself, either at her Dad's house, or just in the nabe.

Still, it's nice to be able to break it into two.
