I think the quoted complaint about Mass Effect 3 helps explain it:

My love of pumpkin spice comes and goes based on how much I can taste the nutmeg. The only spice I like better than nutmeg is cardamom. If someone starts marketing a pumpkin spice chai, they'd have me.

I just got that. I can't wait to try it now.

Texas seems to have started a "the new governor must be worse than the current one" tradition.

The thing that bothers me most about plucking is the time. It takes so much time. That said there are some places I can't imagine waxing because it's not so easy to stretch the skin, which minimizes the pain.

1) Most of those men aren't Matt Bomer.

I think Taco Bell started as Mexican food for Americans not ready to sit down at a Mexican restaurant (the original menu explained what everything was) but I think it's adapted as Americans became more used to Mexican food. For a long while, it was the cheap junk version of Mexican food, you could get 10 tacos for $5…

That's why Fox News is a never ending stream of who you're supposed to hate for now.

Not just revisionism. I'm sure in a few years, we'll get a disingenuous "Bill Clinton passed DADT and DOMA so it's ridiculous to say Republicans are homophobic. The Democrats were just as bad! We all fine with gay now, so base your vote on how much you think poor people have it too easy." False equivalency is big with…

Did you watch the CSI: Cyber pilot? I planned on watching it with my husband figuring it would be so inaccurate it becomes funny, but it got deleted from my DVR before we got to watching it. As someone who does a lot of graphic work, I wish we had that kind of power to zoom in to a low-res image and suddenly make it…

Oh, thank you. While I understand looking down at people who travel to other countries but don't want to try different foods, but I'd want to find out how a cuisine changes to adapt to the local palate. When I lived in Hawaii there were a couple restaurants that served Italian food but were Japanese chains. While I…

Ah, that's right. It was the Geroge/Izzy story.

There was a lot that fell under my radar (a mix of being happily sheltered and echoing themes from less wary times) but it's been pointed out to me that there are a lot of naked underage girls in his books. The example that stands out in my memory is how Zane first meets Luna in "On a Pale Horse" where she's…

Didn't Ann Coulter flat-out say that US democracy was ruined by giving women the right to vote? She's a troll but she also gets ahead by telling the base what they want to hear.

Tangential grumble: I hate it that Google (and others) do stuff to track you so that you can't do a search find the page, right-click to copy the link and pass it along. You have to click on the link yourself and visit the site/video to get a URL you can send to somebody else. Sometimes, I just want to re-find a page…

I actually think its more likely she just cuts loose anyone who is creating trouble in the gossip pages for her, possibly because she was accused of dragging her feet with Washington.

I thought when she said her storyline was "not strong" that was the year of the ghost sex storyline? I remember the meltdowns over the comment and thinking that if anyone thought it was terrible to call ghost sex "not strong" they should never go online. That storyline was so reviled you'd probably run into less kind…

Whoops, nevermind. Thought I was reading the threaded discussions and didn't see you got answers.

So did I... at least until I actually read Revelation and realized how much my pastor was er.... adding his own interpretation to make it all sound like it was happening in the current day.

Sounds like the Thief in the Night series. Because of funding the movies are really far apart, the first one is early 70s. But they're all on YouTube (last I looked). I've been meaning to try to watch them.
