I read Imzadi in high school, and it was kinda cheesy, but not Harlequinish— I think I remeber it still being fairly Trek-ie.

I hadn't heard of Get Jiro before, so thanks for mentioning that. That may be a vacation read for me.

GET FITTED! I was wearing the completely wrong size for… over 10 years, and didn't realize it. But go somewhere that actually knows what they are doing. I was really happy with Nordstroms, but if you live in a big city with a dedicated lingerie place, that's probably good. Or Lord and Taylor? Not Victoria's Secret—…

@avclub-a452630477eb936fd36fc9a9542d4598:disqus I think you are just trolling @avclub-323ca7b091beb1b26cc7a2612f1475d5:disqus at this point.

I go through this in waves. Normally I love to cook, but every now and then, it's the last thing I want to do. Usually after a cooking-heavy period. After some down time of just eating take-out and prepared foods for a while, I usually pull myself out by finding one or two really good quality ingredients, and making…

You have to get one with some structure to it, not just a circle of fabric. And try on A LOT. And probably get fitted. And NOT at Victoria Secrets— they have no idea what they are doing. Somewhere reputable, like Nordstroms, or maybe a dedicated underwear store (I say this during every bra discussion, but it's…

It seems crazy to me that you've never owned one! I practically live in mine in the summer. How do you wear sundresses? Or tank tops? OR EVERYTHING

Intellectually, I know this. That doesn't keep me from getting the shivers when I think about it.

@avclub-da2a29e969de8fc4fea0ce6749fb0444:disqus I think it's down, then back up again.

Rind pickles! What do you do?

I guess I'm paranoid, but I would make the other person pay me half of the security deposit. People really don't care if they don't have to.

@avclub-02c1dd6ad234773aeffd7f7067784d58:disqus What? Whack it with a knife! It's fun and satisfying! Just make sure that you aren't holding the avocado in your hand when you do this (I had a close call)

Or.. Tuesday?

I like Natori, too. Agreed that it's spendy, but it's held up well (har har) for a while now (although I have a different one), so don't feel bad. I intend to buy more from them.

Panzanella! Use some stale (french or italian) bread, throw in tomatoes, olive oil, capers, olives, whatevs, mix it all together, delicious!

D- never tried it, no need to complicate good watermelon.

Hornworms are THE WORST. They are too big to even squish, and they blend in easily enough that you can end up touching one while trying to get a tomato. Also, those horrible wasps lay eggs IN THE WORM while it's ALIVE, and the whole thing gives me the heebies.

This post makes me wish there were more specific "like" buttons. "Liked for clever wordplay" versus "Liked for content" would be especially relevant to my interests. The "Like" button is a bit of a blank check sometimes, is what I'm saying.

I knew someone would have something to say about that, but I stand by my statement. They had a couple good albums, and then it went… downhill.

I saw him a while back, and he named The Red Hot Chili Peppers as the worst band ever, I believe. He said he knew people wanted him to bash, like, Brittany Spears, but he really, truely hated RHCP. So if you could rile him up with something about them, that would be great.
