the taco thing
Mar. 9th, 2009 10:21 amSo, talking last night, Pete told me that there was this theory out there that women prefer hard taco shells and men prefer soft tacos.
It was true in our case. I don't like soft tacos (and I freaking haaaaaaate soft corn tortillas) and he hates hard tacos (which I think he calls shards of messy death).
So I said I'd throw a poll up here and see what happens.
And, that's about it. You guys are mostly taco sluts, apparently. I'm very proud.
Pete's going to be so annoyed with the clicky thing results. Muhahahaha! He was completely bemused, "What? Wait! What is that clicky thing answer?! Why is there a clicky thing?!"

Sarah Haskins is fucking awesome. Always. Here, she talks about why women loves vampires. ("Vahmpyahr is ahh dahngeruse. A little beet.")
And in less trivial news, Iowa courts to hear case on gay marriage. Here's hoping.

Jul. 23rd, 2008 11:22 amSo yesterday, I had a moment of deep seated fear. Could my love for Christian Bale be wrong? Was he a mom-and-sister-abuser? In spite of his awe-inspiring talent and hot-hunky looks--could he be a jerk? Was this another case of a talented actor being a total crippling jerk (*waves to Russell Crowe*)?
Today, defamer tells me that his mom said some seriously outrageous things about his wife. And it was a verbal response and possibly a small push.
At first I wondered, 'but it got to the police station, that must have been bad, non?' But the more I think of it, the more I remember that not everyone's mom is made of Awesome. And it's possible that we, the Unwashed and Suffused with Lust public, will never know what really happened and I should go on enjoying my love for Christian Bale unfettered by concern over his personal life.
I'm feeling extra vapid lately. Can you tell?

So, it's a grey morning here. It's supposed to turn nicer, but I am having a late start to my morning because I just want to burrow. It's been such a long week and I'm tired and a little cranky despite last night's hypersqueeage.
And I think the only thing getting me moving is this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlfKdbWwruY (Thanks to
wayofseeing!)
I would embed it, but you have to go to You Tube and click on the Watch in High Quality link because it's so worth it (you can't see everything clearly in the Standard Quality).
It sort of blows me away how people everywhere just look the same. Like, um. People.
I can't stop watching it. Group hug for the planet!!

cell phone etiquette
Apr. 1st, 2008 02:37 pmI know. So post-y today!
Jeff's much better at this than I am. If we go out to dinner, he immediately turns his cell phone off. We were talking about this the other day. It really sends the message that, "I am here to spend time with YOU. You have my undivided attention." It makes me feel special.
Of course, I usually forget to turn mine off, and instead spastically grope for it to silence it if it happens to ring. And unless either one of us need to grab a quick call for some last-minute coordination reason, we don't take calls when hanging out for extended periods of time.

I love Tomato Nation.
My other huge peeve with cell phones is people who have extended conversations on the bus. I think it should be freaking outlawed. And I don't normally jump to the legislative path on social behavior issues. I think making or taking a brief call to let someone know you're on your way or pick up lettuce on the way home whatever is fine. But dude, the 37 other people on the bus don't need to hear about your date last night your latest gossip on your third cousin or the history exam you're studying for. STFU.
