You’re invited. Yes, you too.

To which I said, “Look more like 38s…”
At which point the choir director turned bright red.
Which is why it is very, very important that none of these people ever find out about the Internet.
So, I have often wondered about that. Not because it’s any of my business; you’re an adult and have surely thought about this, but frequently I ponder how not all church members are...

Fizzy, Fuzzy, Big and Buzzy
tbridge:
We made this tonight:
3 cups of strawberry puree 2 cups of lemonade 1.5 cups of rye whiskey 1 Sprite
I shall call it: Fizzy, Fuzzy, Big and Buzzy
I should clarify that what we actually used was nigh unto a quart of lemon juice and a bunch of sugar. Lemonade usually has water in it. This did not, which is why the inside of my mouth is currently in acid rebellion.
So about last night's Glee...

This made me love Kurt’s dad even more. Also, it dropped Finn a whole lot of points in my book.
I thought the entire episode was kind of heavy-handed, to be honest (though I do always love a good Mr. Hummel scene).
Here’s the thing about Finn- first, I think he was written into a corner in a way that wasn’t internally consistent. If the Hummel house were really...

Thanks for the information, I really do find it quite helpful. I wasn’t really thinking of licenses in terms of RSS feeds and the like. That does make sense. I feel better now. :)

Without disagreeing about Word’s feature bloat, I’d argue that the main problem writers have with it is that Word was designed specifically FOR the problems of typing and formatting, and NOT for writing. It was designed to replace the typewriter in an...

true tales from the office
My company is having a bit of a baby boom right now. Four staff members are expecting, three women and a man. Of the three women, two are in my VP’s team, and their babies (and therefore maternity leaves) are due within a few weeks of each other.
So my boss and I are in the VP’s office for our weekly meeting with her, and we’re talking about the annual Staff Recognition Lunch,...

i can tell you how i use it, and how most people i know use it. for snooping. it’s not really snooping because people indicate that you are ‘friends,’ but it’s the only way to see what your friend from 12th grade has done with his life. i have over 300 facebook ‘friends.’ how many have i talked to, in person, in the last year? maybe a dozen? maybe? it’s a great shortcut to see what other people...
First Look: Ray's the Steaks at East River - DCist →
By car, we live about 5 miles from this place, and we’re huge fans of Ray’s the Steaks in Arlington (more steak, less other stuff). I say by car because you have to drive around the National Arboretum and the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens to get from our place to Ray’s River East.

Bit Bucket: The Zen of Yard Maintenance →
I know it’s weird, but I loved mowing the lawn when I was younger. We lived on a corner lot when I was a kid, which meant there was a lot of grass to keep trimmed, and it grew voraciously in the California sunshine. That meant a lot of time out cutting it. Saturday was the usual day for it, and…
