Natter 73: Chuck Norris only wishes he could Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I judge you. Because it's hard to say if we judge enough, so I'd better do some more just to be sure.
t edit
I mean, I'm judging the HELL out of him right now.
(It's weird, because this guy is generally a good guy about most things. People just have some areas where they get weird. AND JUDGEY.)
Hard to say whether we do it too much or too little
Judging other people's choices and behavior? We do it too much.
That wasn't hard at all.
I spilled most of my allspice into my measuring spoon drawer and ran out of soy sauce (even the packets from getting takeout!) but I have approximated a goodly quantity of pork bao filling. I think I might make it into meatballs and simmer them in miso broth, that sounds good.
But will not be ready for lunch. Hm.
Wait ...it is wrong for someone with diabetes to drink soda? Sorry, while it would be a bad choice for me right now because of what I ate for breakfast this morning....but if my blood sugar is low it might be the fastest choice. You don't know.
sorry, there is a knee jerk there. One of my friends is adding another drug for diabetes to his routine. All of his other numbers are improving - and yet his wife believes he could do more with diet. I want to be angry with her, but really she just doesn't know and is concerned about his health.
So,rule one: if it is a stranger - all judgments must stay in your own head. You are just rude otherwise. Rule two, even if it is someone you know, be really careful about what you say.
Right, plus with all the pumps and such, diabetes type 1 peeps can pretty much eat whatever they want. They know their health.
People are stupid.
Idris Elba: King Of Speed. I did not know of this show. Just watched him try out a NASCAR track. It's a really slow show (esp considering), and I wanted more detail on just about everything (how fast DID you go???), but fast cars and Idris Elba are two very seductive things to put together.
Next week is road racing. And I have more than half of the F&F series on my TiVo in one fashion or another--you'd think I was entirely someone else.
Ugh. I still need to take my baby to get appraised for the dinged passenger mirror. I hate when she has a boo boo.
BLT wrap for lunch (I know you were all waiting to read what I decded on) - even included tomatoes in sun-dried form. I'm not sure I could taste them, actually, but overall a very successful meal.
Hey, has anyone tried that lightweight kitty litter? It's getting to be time for me to get more and those 20-lb bags are daunting.
ETA: huh, website says it is not actually available near me (except at Sam's Club which I am not even gonna get involved with)
At the wake there was a cooler of pop and a cooler of booze. I asked if there was anything cold and diet in the pop cooler. My faux-son's wife smiled cheerfully: "We don't have diet drinks in the house, they're cans of chemical death." I blinked amiably back at her: "I'm diabetic, sugar is poison." Three other people made the same remark to her when told how evil diet drinks are.
Fortunately there's a 7-11 a block from their house and teenagers with lots of energy.
edit: The tap water in our town is horrible, also.
Wow. I really liked
Miss Congeniality
but for some reason I never watched the serial.
Now, at the time it was clear the original was an out-of-nowhere fun piece of fluff, not cinematic quality.
The sequel is
studiously
bad. I mean, fuck, I'm looking at the credits and can't work out why they'd use those fonts together. That's how bad it is. Script, acting, plotting, costuming, end to end crap, and they even fuck up the fonts (oh, the actors weren't really even enjoying the pre-credit gags). I guess the only reason some of the songs don't suck is because they are not a product of the movie. But even their choice was lame.
I never saw the first one and now I kinda want to settle down and watch them both.
It's probably good that I am hitting a peak (oh, god, I hope this is a peak) in my frustration with my own incompetence the day before I talk to my new psych treatment provider for eval, right? Maybe I should take actual notes instead of just mental notes.
The second's not even bad enough to be interesting. Flat in aspect.
Anyone use Espionage Cosmetics? It's a for nerd by nerd line. Too much foofurrah for me, but I thought I'd bring it up in case anyone was interested.
