In the old days, the cam quality wasn't the greatest and text messages were used to communicate. Now the video is often quiet clear and you can talk. I checked it out recently, she's kinda bored, notices my name when I entered the room, and perks up, smiles, and says, "Hi, JRu!" Kinda startled me.

It's also not wanting to learn things as one gets older. Especially if the activity hasn't changed—listening to music, watching TV—but the new device to be able to do that is very different. I just want to listen to music, dammit! Still can't figure out stupid iTunes...

That's what I've been doing most of my life. Trust is necessary and the guy needs to know his body and has to pull out early. When I pull out, we have to do another sex act for orgasm.

Yeah, he's just some dude. No expertise at all. Because you know about expertise.

The US hasn't had even such simple bakeries. Our food became controlled by corporations making mass-produced stuff. In some places, yes, you can find the bakeries you describe. But there aren't many. My town in crappy Indiana doesn't fucking have one. Let alone a French bakery making stuff like Dominique.

And, now that I think about it, I was once burned because I thought someone really didn't like me because I thought that they thought that I hadn't spoken enough. I was stupid thinking they couldn't have liked me because I thought I hadn't said anything I thought deserved it.

¿Qué pasa, güey?

"tarte tatin-yes I know what that is"

Are you interested in food or are you interested in making other Gawker readers think that you represent the common man while I represent elitist, rich, arrogant "hipsters" and "foodies?" Sounds like you and Dalia are doing the latter, especially judging from the stars she got from people who probably have never heard…

"I can't talk to anyone."

No one knew the Wall would fall that night because it wasn't supposed to; it was an accident.

Yep. I was living not far from the border when the Wall fell and that very night Trabbis came into town. We invited them up to our dorm room's common room and opened some champagne. They were shocked at that.

But...it's commemorating the fall of the Wall, not its construction. It was a time of celebration.

Oh, yeah, I know. I just wanted to remind them that it's just (or it's supposed to be) a beverage flavored with a plant part, of which there are many other examples.

Then don't buy it! And unless you live in NYC, you'll never see it anyway.

I don't know where you live, but I live in shit hole Indiana, so I wouldn't mind a bit of "douchiness." And no French bakeries here.

I've never been there, but it is my sister's favorite bakery. Anyway, looking at the website, it has a tarte tatin. Is that common in the US? No. I'll bet most people have never heard of it. But most anyone who has been to France knows that it is a common dessert. But he is doing his own special spin on the regular…

If you don't live in NYC, then don't worry, you'll never see it. But I was visiting there recently, and, yeah, his bakery is the kind of place I'd go out of my way to check out. Don't got things like that in crappy Indiana...

You don't like sassafras?
