After much research, I decided to try an experiment.  I went to Macy's and made an appointment for their free personal shopper service.  It was _awesome_ ( Read more... )

 Sadly, my cell phone charger was a casualty of Picnicon.  If you want to reach me, you will have to do so by email until I can replace it!

anu3bis and I have bought a new toilet for the front bathroom, since we will need two working toilets before Picnicon :)  We are looking for someone who can help keep an eye on the lion cub while we install it.  Plumbing experience a plus!  We will feed you dinner as compensation (your choice).   Anyone have some free time and can help?

This was requested by anu3bis, and I thought others might be interested. There is an excellent in-depth article here: http://www.canow.org/canoworg/2008/11/prop-8-postmortem-part-1-dissecting-history.html, if you want more details ( Read more... )

It has been a long time since I have found a new cooking show that I really like :) I wanted to see The Cooking Loft on Food Network because the chef, Alexandra Guarnaschelli, has been a judge on Iron Chef and she is very cool. The premise of the show is sort of like Mario's: instructional with guests who do some of the prep work and ask ( Read more... )
