Well, that’s just it. It’s not really a diet. I’m not cutting anything out or exercising more. It just sort of started happening.

Subways really are everywhere! I don’t see how most of them stay in business.

I started tracking nutritional data on my phone for what I eat a few years ago and despite knowing that restaurants are supposed to serve us good food, I was still shocked at just how much salt and saturated fat is in the typical casual restaurant’s food.

This would be a lot easier if water didn’t nauseate me so much. No doctor has ever been able to offer an explanation as to why that is, but anything more than about 8 ounces every few hours and I’m doubled over in pain, especially if it’s colder than room temperature. BUT — if there’s some sugar mixed in (as in, soda,…

Walgreens was a bit of a savior for me in my 20s when I was getting sick a lot, because there was a great 24-hour pharmacy right on my commute route. It was nice being able to go to a doc-in-the-box at 2 pm before work and pick up medicine at 4 am on the way home. But that was years ago and in a different city. The…

I can’t say Alabama does a whole lot right as a state, but the restaurant inspection scores are one thing I think we do better than nearly anyone else. They have to be prominently displayed where patrons can see the score, and it’s written on the actual test itself so anyone can see exactly what the restaurant is…

It’s not that I hate James, he’s an okay guy.  It’s that I hate what a step down in quality, comedy and batshit insanity his show is from Craig Ferguson’s version.

I’m pretty sure they’ve never seen that movie and would not want to see it.

Maybe this show is doing better than I figured since moving to TBS. With the way the plots have gotten more… surreal since moving, I was beginning to think they were trying to kill it, or just go off the rails since no one was watching anymore.

Then, back in the fall of 2019, they partnered up with the game people who…

There’s only been one non-standard flavor/limited edition Oreo that I really liked, and that was Maple Creme, which I believe was out during October and November, possibly only at Target. It reminded me of a softer and sweeter version of the Dare Maple Leaf cookies that some supermarkets sell. Everything else I’ve…

I’ve had an even harder time getting people onto Undone than BoJack.  No one wants the depression that BJH brings and they also get turned off by Undone’s rotoscoping… and to me those two features define why those shows are, respectively, so great.

My town’s about 12,000 or so? And the immediate area is about 3x that. The whole county (which is bigger than Delaware, so not really a good metric) is closer to 165,000.  This is a beach/vacation area where tourism is the main economic driver, so maybe that also has something to do with it.  No one wants to make a…

Reading this, I realize that despite eating out anywhere from 3 to 6 times a week for the last 10+ years, I’ve never once had to make a reservation anywhere, even at locally owned or fairly expensive places. Are these people just going to really fancy restaurants, or are reservations more a “big city restaurant” kind…

Pah, amateurs!

I wouldn’t ever lump them in with Limp Bizkit, that is just cruel.

If you don’t go to Aldi’s you go to Walmart’s. The plural thing drives me insane.

I’m glad to see Magic for Humans got a second season.  It got zero recognition or press but is a pretty good “on the street” magic show.

A good episode, but since it was during an ice storm, a part of me kept hoping the party would turn out to be a key party.  Mr. Fischoeder would show up and have eyes for Sigourney Weaver.

I didn’t realize this was such a regional thing.  I’ve seen the cans for years on the shelves of Publix here in the south, but never was brave enough to try it.

I don’t care if it makes me seem weird, but even though I have no kids, I’ve watched and enjoyed this show thoroughly, despite the rough first season.  It just has a charm and sweetness to it that I find very appealing.
