I hiked a 50-mile backpacking trip several years ago and found that freezer bags had several advantages over pot cooking (I did some of both).

I'll vouch for number 5. My friend and I got stuck in a terrible, terrible property owned by Lotus Residential (stay away from them, everybody) for one reason: we didn't ask the tenants for their opinions. *Nobody* likes living in their properties...in fact, when we were moving out, several people saw us with a

I have my watch set three minutes ahead. I know it's set ahead, but the subconscious terror of "Oh no, I'm running late already" sets in before I have time to calculate what time it really is.

...Hmm...must be thinking of someone else. Cool, though.

Give us an inside look. How do you editor types decide who writes on what? I've noticed that you're in charge of certain regular things, but I haven't noticed a pattern with the others (except maybe that Chen writes mostly on weekends).

My cousin's got a recording studio. He says one thing that's important to do is dampen the acoustics wherever you're recording. He recommended taking your mattress off your bed and putting it up against the wall (dampening even one wall will help).

An ice bath will revive most herbs, too.

This works a little too well for me. When I get hungry, I start cooking. While I'm cooking something, I imagine myself eating it, and by the time it's finished, I'm full. All from my imagination. It's pretty annoying. I'm reduced to eating things I can make in five minutes or so — sandwiches, donuts, cereal. You know.

However, only the desktop client can transfer files to the player, they're DRM, and your player will randomly decide that your

For those of us that want to exercise and be fit, but don't have to be Superman, I recommend shovelgloving. [www.shovelglove.com]

It looks to me like it's drawing attention to the thermostat. There's gotta be a better way.

Ooh, and El Ten Eleven. Sooooo good.

Saw these guys live a couple months ago. Great music, though I much prefer The Album Leaf and Moby as background music when I need to concentrate.

This is a legitimate concern. I used to live in a place where bats were quite common, though, and was never bitten by one, nor did I know anyone who was.

Haha. A very adept comparison.

I googled "breadbox." They come in a ton of different sizes — some could fit in a shoebox, and some are bigger than my desk.

I learned that it's better to keep your mouth shut than to offend 320 people.

That's exactly what I was going to say.
