I fully expect that The Sire will be the original energy vampire, or something that ties to Colin Robinson’s quest to find his origin. If so, the casting could get interesting…

I make single-serve mac and cheese with Hoosier Hill Farm’s Cheez Powder, and rather than measure out a tablespoon of milk (or whatever), I reserve the pasta water. Works a treat.

No need for a soda refill or any mid-action potty breaks…

I read it as his Pakistani family lives in London (post-Partition, in relative safety) and while he moved away previously to the US, he is back for a visit.

What about Mark L. Wahlberg? He’s not hosting Antiques Roadshow anymore, so maybe there’s time in his schedule.

I think some of it is Craig Ferguson fans who were pissed he got replaced, and some of it was confusion as to how *this* guy got a show seemingly out of nowhere (although it’s not like Ferguson had a large US following prior to his show, either). Tonally, there’s a VERY large difference between the two.

Are shrimp crackers something like oyster crackers, or are they like a shellfish version of Chicken in a Biskit?

Quickly corrected in the text, but the URL lives forever…

I need to get my car detailed. I looked in the backseat the other day and legit found a cobweb. My car is not taking well to its demotion from daily driver to weekend errand transport.

Now, now, all leading actors and actresses (white is assumed) look alike.

I’m not lactose intolerant, but plain cold milk makes my stomach a little queasy. That said, there is nothing like hot cocoa with whole milk or a good cappuccino.

I had weevils get into a bag of barley once, and I didn’t notice for quite some time. Ewwww.

I make a point, while running in the road ON THE LEFT, to wave at oncoming cars. People reflexively wave back (usually), and it’s nice confirmation that you have seen one another.

I rewatched the third season recently and didn’t hate it like I did the first time around. The second season also fared vastly better on rewatches, to the point where it’s now my favorite. The good bits of that show are extremely good.

Hmm. Could be good for emergencies in flood-prone areas. Weight limits would be trouble, though.

My breaker box was well-labelled when it was installed, but then 10 years and the Texas heat has faded those labels clean away…

I used to keep an old sugar bowl next to my dryer to stash lint in as I cleaned the filter. Started because my trash can was in another room, but then became handy for this sort of thing.

We learned to make these in Girl Scouts with cardboard egg containers instead of tubes. Easy to cut apart and portion off. Fill the cups with lint, pour over the paraffin, let cool, then separate into 12 starters.
