I actually saw eX-Driver first, and never liked Initial D. But I had forgotten about both of them till I read this article and was all “huh, that sounds like that anime I used to like” as I read through the first paragraph. And it was, it was that anime I used to like. I couldn’t remember the name.

Seat elevation is only a workable thing when your legs are long enough to reach the pedals after elevating the seat. Short people have short legs, for the most part. If I want to elevate my seat, then I’m gonna have to have the seat so far forward that I might as well eat the steering wheel now, to save myself the…

Another Jennifer whose mom had the same reasoning. I actually went to girl scout camp with another Jennifer who had my EXACT name. They put us in the same cabin. Whyyyyyyy? AND she was popular and had been going for years. That was the most miserable week. Also, I tried changing my name to my middle name in middle…

I can’t stop giggling at this.

Some of Adam’s pattern drafting faces are so ME. I’ve done all of them while trying to draft patterns. ALL OF THEM.

The biggest seller for me after the quality and the ability to have it custom fitted is the fact that almost every dress and skirt has pockets. Wonderful, awesome, well hidden pockets.

That’s odd. I’ve not had a problem paying them, and aside from one time when the dress got stopped at customs for a strike for a week, all my dresses have arrived very promptly after I get the email that they have been completed (since I do the custom measurements.)

I have giant boobs as well. The custom option is a lifesaver and very affordable.

Go to Eshakti.com and you can get all sorts of cute cotton dresses and get them done with your custom measurements and the prices are very good and they always have sales. Ice been super happy with all 6 of my dresses from them!

If you are in Marietta, not only try the Marietta Diner but try Dave Poe’s BBQ as well. It is the best I’ve ever had, and we totally had them cater our wedding. The nicest folks you will ever meet, as well. Also, the mac and cheese will kill you but you will die the happiest you’ve ever been. Truly a gastronomic…

I have the same hardcore phobia. Currently a blood draw for me involves taking a Valium and having my husband sit on me, holding me down with his entire body. A good nurse takes advantage of this and goes for it, a bad nurse tries to wait until I am “ready.” I WILL NEVER BE READY THUS WHY I JUST HAD A TWO HOUR PANIC…

What this story made me think of was this book: Stiff, the Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach that has a chapter that details a class teaching surgery techniques on severed heads, pretty much exactly how you described it. So fascinating!

Me and my husband are about to go feel old on purpose by watching the debate at a local college that is doing a public viewing party. Ought to be fun! I’m bringing popcorn and those snap pea crisps that I get at Trader Joe’s that will be responsible for me dieing of obesity. OM NOM NOM.

I work as a custom picture framer. My nails are a nightmare. I’ve got hangnails and cuts and broken spots and lots of black marker/putty/atg adhesive under them. I’ve got these little slashes from glass and razor blades that have marker IN them, so now I basically have tattooed nails. I like to get gel manicures every…

Actually, it’s SELL, but with a heavy accent.

Hmmm. I’m doing a Velma costume for DragonCon, and I wonder if something like this would be effective and make me stand out in a sea of Velmas? I might have to play with my make up a bit. Tho I wouldn’t do the blue eyeshadow or the falsies with her, but maybe the subtle lines will be neat?

Cheese porn. Mmmm it’s gouda.

And this is why we are taking the train to DragonCon. It’s a lot slower, but we have no parking or baggage fees, and the tickets are way cheaper. I love my Midnight Train to Georgia.

I’ve learned the trick with mine is to preheat it. I just yank the dial around a bit when I get up, and then when I am ready to make toast after showering and stuff, it makes it perfectly. I preheat it for everything now and it is so much happier. Waffles, pizza, leftovers... just give it a heating cycle first and it…

I didn’t know sharing was even an option. We got the Prime account in my name because I did all the Amazon shopping, and the rat husband has the Ebay account. This dichotomy seems to work for us.
