Great, now I want roasted asparagus and unagi but I have already had lunch and it was neither.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

I need to buy a blender. Does anyone have a blender to evangelize?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've always like Osterizer, but I don't know any recent models. You looking for a stick or a standup? I think I've had good Braun? standups.

Standup. For smoothies and puréeing.

If you're going to be cracking ice for smoothies, you want a pretty high-end blender - the difference is in the motor rating. Ice will burn out a cheap blender fast. We have a metal Waring. It was pricey, but over time less pricey than mr. flea taking the kids to Smoothie King once a week at $15 a pop.

That which does not kill you should RUN
Randomly: the iPhone game Helsing's Fire isn't extraordinarily complicated (in fact, it's kind of repetitive and in the end it's actually just math -- vectors and shit), but it is fucking hilarious because of the commentary provided by Helsing, his assistant Raffton, and Dracula. It's basically Wondermark in game form.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I saw Anna Deveare Smith play 28 different characters last night, including Lance Armstrong and a former heavyweight champion of the world. It was really cool.
I adore her! I was lucky enough to work with her twice when I lived in San Fran. She's a very cool lady!

I have a Breville that I've been very happy with, 3 speeds and one of them is specifically for crushing ice. I've had it for 6 years with no issues, but not heavy use (I don't make smoothies every day or anything, but I have burnt out blender motors on occasion in the past).
Eta: upon googling, it looks like they have thoroughly changed their design, so I don't know what the new ones are like, but probably sturdy, at least.

I have a cheap Hamilton Beach that has done me good smoothie making for years. But I don't add ice, just frozen fruit.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You guys and especially msbelle should be very proud of me--I made it out of the Nordstrom's shoe sale without buying anything even though I found a pair of really cute Munro sandals at almost 60% off.
