Y’all. In an era when literally the only tv I’ve watched this year is re-heating Heated Rivalry, a couple episodes of Bridgerton, and the superbowl…I’ve been selected to be a Nielsen family?! I guess they also do radio ratings. Random. They sent a thing to my house last week but it was addressed to an old roommate (with a $10 bill in it to thank her for her time) but they called me? And I guess even though I am not her it’s still fine. Ok?
Jayne, your mouth is talking. You might wanna look to that.

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.

Oh, interesting! I'm very curious about what they even measure these days

Aw, crap, I totally forgot I bought a ticket to something tonight. I will have to actually get dressed shortly. Ah well, at least I remembered now and now after it was over and I missed it, I guess

Something called Dumpling Fest, which I thought would be walking around to a multitude of restaurants sampling dumplings but seems to be more driving from one restaurant to two others in sequence sampling dumplings. Which I'm sure will still be plenty of dumplings! Just, three restaurants seems kind of paltry for a Fest

I guess it depends on the restaurant. There was a hole in the wall place in Chapel Hill that specialized in dumplings. It must have had 15–20 different kinds. I hope at least one of your three is similar, -t.

Good point! I should keep an open mind

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
More of a Festlette. Maybe a Progressive Dumpling Dinner.

Man, I wish I had a root and some dumplings.

Timelies all!
Bleah. I'm fighting a cold(mostly nasal congestion). I don't know whether this is the cold that's been going around the lab or the cold Gary's been dealing with. Either way, it sucks.
I didn't get around to getting a new desk chair. I didn't feel like leaving the house last Sunday. Maybe this weekend?
