There's a famous one that stars Julia Roberts. And there's… well, I guess I wouldn't call Private Benjamin a romantic comedy…. kickass ending, though!

Stand Alone Complex is awesome and, in certain storylines, much more heartwarming than the film.

It's a great series, both badass and surprisingly lovable.

I haven't read comic books in years, except for Frank Miller's Batman: Year One after buying a bunch of Miller comics in a Comixology sale. And I did buy some Swamp Thing TPB's by Alan Moore a couple years back. I can't seem to dredge up the desire to read any comics these days, though… Batman: Year One was good…

"I'll Make Love to You" by Boyz II Men

I recommend that you listen to the episode "Flip the Script" of NPR's Invisibilia podcast. It's not quite about the same thing, but it falls in the general ballpark. Found it quite enlightening.

In the Mood for Love is certainly the better film, but Cheung gets to stretch more in Irma Vep, where she is an absolute delight.

Gulp made for mighty queasy reading. Gross science is Roach's bread and butter.

Sure, if you consider what Barebackdick Cummingfast does acting.

I'm looking forward to reading Mary Roach's Grunt: The Curious Science of Humans at War. Love her books.

That's the worst kind of evangelical bullshit… getting people to think that KISS might actually be cool!

You realized my mom died earlier this year, right?

If you're just gonna publish the pictures on digital media, you really don't need a DSLR. Unless it's a highly technical shot that require a certain type of lens, but I don't think that's gonna come up too often.

The Sex Ninja's art exhibit (with 5 other artists) had its opening. Lots of people came, though we missed that and all the food and booze coz we came late. Got stuck in horrible traffic. But her paintings look great on display, and one of them may have a buyer… crossing our fingers!

Building a frame to stretch a canvas on. First time I'm doing this. I sucked at woodworking in school. I'm still not very good at it, but I managed to saw plywood without embarrassing myself.

Red Velvet's Russian Roulette

The Sex Ninja baked chocolate chip whole wheat muffins. They were a bit burned… very slightly, really, but my girlfriend is a perfectionist that way. Which is a weird trait for someone who doesn't follow recipes and improvises most of her dishes. She said to me after the muffin "debacle" that while cooking is an art,…

Someone told a friend of mine that he shouldn't be commenting on a discussion because he is not a taxpayer.

Seconding the sentiment that your sister is awesome. And I would love to try her food. Eggplants are lovely!

That's wonderful. I hope things work out for you guys!
