Exactly. People have exactly zero perspective. I saw an article that someone dredged up about people wailing about the advent of the newspaper, because people could go out to a park, and sit around and read, and ignore each other out in the park. And now people sigh over the good ol' days of people sitting around and…

I always enjoy the oversharing threads, although I don't actually participate, since there is no such thing as anonymity on the internet.

It's not hard to do. If you hand the first person two bags of food, you just started a domino effect that you don't realize has happened until someone complains. Everyone's order gets shifted by one, and now there are a lot of angry people to deal with, which is not in any way going to help the accuracy of the orders .

Droool. So jealous. And the cognac is by far the best color. I got a pair of boots in that color, and I've gotten a jillion compliments on them.

Holy shit.

Creepy, unfortunately. You could bring it up once you are facebook friends, in an off-handed way, but I wouldn't start off with it.

Adorbs! And the Lab is probably a good choice to be put in charge… they seem like a level-headed breed.

Agreed on Cafe Du Monde. It's such a touristy spot, but that doesn't change the fact that the beignets and coffee are freaking spot on.

I always yell, "Be good!" to my cat when I'm walking out the door. I got it from my Dad, who used to do the same thing to our dog.

Thanks! Yeah, I'll probably have to do thinner slices.

I'm curious about your eggplant dish; can you point me to a recipe? I have the urge to do something miso-related, and half of a giant eggplant in my fridge, so this is incredible timing.

Ugggh. I ordered a Negroni this weekend, because I expected it would taste like gin and summer sunshine. Instead, it tasted like the worst, black-licorice medicine I can think of. Bleeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Thanks, TI! I was about to go outside and read my book during my lunch, but then I thought, wait, it's Wednesday? See you, great outdoors! I'm hangin out with people on the internet!

You have such well-shot cat pictures! I really appreciate good pet photos. It doesn't hurt that they are all just crazy cute.

Can I tell you that I probably laughed at your come in a princess dress joke for like 5 minutes straight at work? And there was no way of explaining myself out of that one.

Agreed. It just made everything that much weirder.

Cranky jerk.

The 1 million comment thread. That shit is annoying, especially because I'm so late to the TI today.

K. Thrace is going to be so mad at all of you.
