Brandon kept that haircut for years and years! Many things change, fashion-wise, over the years in 90210, but Brandon's hair is eternal.

Why is it that people just lose all sense of the fact that they share the planet with other people when it comes to getting their kids to school? I fortunately don't have to deal with the shit you're talking about, but my three-doors-down neighbor mercilessly hogs the road with her monstrous hellspawn every morning…

Kenny's a genius.

During my annual physical last month my doctor informed me that my left pupil was larger than my right one. She seemed unconcerned on the surface, but cautioned me gravely to see an eye doctor, so I started to worry. Seeing as I'm a huge worst-case-scenario worrier, when I told my family they were like, "Whatever…

Can you get a privacy filter for your screen? Or is that too obvious? I pillaged a nice monitor from an abandoned workstation in my office a few years ago and was so relieved it already had a privacy filter, because I wasn't sure how to ask about getting one without making it really clear to my boss what it was…

That's scary, but also kind of nice that you'd be able to get it over quickly. 90-day closings are the worst. ::shudder::

Well, then count me in!

The news from Jersey is that the Devils still suck. Tediously.

::furiously takes notes:: I'm making that next week.

I'll write the much-clamored-for Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman reviews! No classic TV club is complete without them!

Congratulations and good luck! I remember being in a constant state of paralyzing terror, anxiety, and stress when we were buying our house. I knew it was a good thing, and I was psyched about the promised end result, but those were the most horrible three months of my life, waiting for the closing. Of course, as…

I like that your zoo has preemptive signs about that. I'm imagining that they said, "Meerkats are social animals and are miserable if they're alone. ELDAN."

Oh my god, pumpkin cheesecake is god's special gift to us all. I love that so much. And, in fact, hate pumpkin pie precisely because it's not pumpkin cheesecake.

I just have a Thanksgiving dinner do-over on Christmas, but this year my vegetarian sister-in-law will be joining us. I was thinking of trying out this recipe for her: vegetable pot pies with sweet potato biscuits.

It's been rough living in Jersey with all of that, from coworkers to salespeople to random strangers… I mean, I'm no Chris Christie fan, but I am fat, so please, people, leave that out of it.

I'm highly susceptible to peer pressure, so as soon as I see that "one other person is typing" thing I freak out. "Fuck! I need to type, too! a;dlfjkaoeirapsdkjf;a…"

Everything hurts lately, but I suppose in a productive and healthy way. My trainer has decided I'm ready to ratchet up the intensity of my workouts, so now I'm just constantly sore all over from stupid, stupid fitness.

Um, not at all food-thread related, but one of my cats is having some urinary tract issues right now, and has taken to peeing all over the place. We decided last night that he's just declared himself our household's chief aromatherapist.

I made refried beans on Monday with real lard. Lard! I'm trying to spread the word now that lard? Is delicious. And probably nutritious? I hope so, because I'm never not cooking with it again.
