I usually go out to the movies or something, but this year I might spend the day doing something I usually would feel bad about, like watching the entire run of Party Down or Firefly at once.

I bought a 2-lb block of tempeh to put in the oven with something. I need to look up that something.

Haha, I am actually vegan, too; that's why I go to Chinatown — for the veg restaurants. I will be baking this later today: http://vegweb.com/recipes/tofu-pumpkin-pie

I go to Chinatown and eat alone in a restaurant because I have no family or close friends to spend it with.

I was joking by calling whomever a 'racist', but I am serious in that they assume any Earthling is going to be white. 'White' is a global minority, so the chance that you pick 'a human' and he/she turns out to be a white (pink) person is improbable.

Hi, Sorry I didn't mean to suggest that you should not pay for apps. I am just resisting having to open up another permanent account online with my credit card, especially. I am law-abiding citizen, and maybe I am just paranoid, but I really don't want my search engine also tracking what I purchase across the web...

Hi, I am sure that Google Wallet is perfectly safe and easy, and any risks that might exist would be the same for the other services you mentioned. I know Paypal isn't that cool, for example.

Thanks again!!

I never thought about looking for those gift cards. That is an excellent solution! Thanks for the tip!

I never buy apps from 'google play' because I don't have a 'google wallet' account and do not want one. I have bought some apps from amazon and two apps directly from developers.

It's Kitty Pryde as Ariel. It even says so on the coloring book page.

They are definitely still pungent. I believe the cloves are actually attracting flies; I bet they think there is a jar of apple cider on my desk.

since when is 2009 'five years ago'?

After reading this, I spread some cloves around my desk. Here is a housefly just chilling out next to a clove on my laptop.

To the people asking about that beautiful desk, it is a 3D rendering. It isn't 'real', which is why it looks so perfect.

good show!
