I made enchiladas last night for the first time. I couldn't find a recipe I liked so I pieced together pieces of other recipes I found and they turned out pretty well, although certainly not very authentic. I made my own salsa verde from a recipe I saw on PBS a while back (tomatillo, white onion, avocado, serrano,…

As someone who has never had sex with a woman, can someone clarify the whole hymen myth issue for me? I first heard about this a while ago but couldn't find any reliable information, and honestly didn't feel like digging too deeply, but it is very confusing. I learned about the hymen, and the breaking thereof, in sex…

Thanks!

Can I get Jaclyn, Jon, Josh, Reed? If that is taken, I could drop Jon for Baylor.

I am now! I thought I had an account there but I had to make a new one, same username. Thanks for the link.

I'm gonna stick my head in here and say I also live in Minneapolis (since last month — a newbie). I am mostly a lurker these days but would be up for a meet up.

I've been serving in AmeriCorps for the last year and will be finishing up my program in about three weeks. It's finally gotten to the point where I definitely know I won't have a job lined up by the time I finish, so now I probably just have to get a part-time job at a coffee shop or something. I'm only two years out…

I will! I'm actually really enjoying their City Life section after taking a look—they've got the right attitude I think.

Congrats—fellow Milwaukee resident here, enjoyed [what I think is] your article. Actually that was my first excuse to check out their new website, which I had kind of ignored since I had a small vendetta against AV Club Milwaukee (although that was for a reason that has no connection to Record).

Does BBCA put episodes online? I don't have cable anymore but am desperate to keep up with Orphan Black.

I was confused about the tone of this article too. Netflix increased its rates several times a year before settling on the split subscriptions and no one ever speculated on the troubles they must be facing to cause them.

Yeah, I agree; my comment was mostly directed at Sanderson, even though I applied it broadly. I think a lot of readers, though, see the length as an asset because of the Song of Ice and Fires of the world, despite the fact that they don't have much else in common. As you say, A Game of Thrones kicks off the series…

There are seven books in the series listed on Lynch's Goodreads page, with titles and everything for the upcoming installments.

I said at my book club the other day that I thought Way of Kings was too long by half and did not get an enthusiastic response. There seems to be some mindset that to be epic fantasy the book must surpass 1000 pages which is honestly killing my interest in the genre. Very few authors can manage consistent storytelling…

I have only been watching sporadically, so what confused me is what Aras thought his alliance was. If it had gone his way, what would the votes have been?

So Apple is just ripping off Google's MO of "telling stories" through their products? They must be doing a real shit job of it, because I didn't realize until just now that this commercial and that road trip one is supposed to be a single person's experience until just now—they seem like a mash-up of lots of people. I…

People see someone they know doesn't speak with an American accent speaking with an American accent and feel compelled to say "I CAN'T BUY HIM WITH AN AMERICAN ACCENT" just so everyone else will know they know he doesn't speak with an American accent.

No, everyone's seen her naked like a million times. To be honest it's a little played out.

Drat, foiled again..

I understood that part of it, but I still think it also reads as an irrational indictment of the Lost finale.
