My local BevMo no longer carried Mary Jane Soda (alas!), so I walked up to the Whole Foods to see if they had any Kava Kava root in their supplement section. They did. It's pill form, which I heard isn't as effective as the tea, but I thought "fuck it" and bought a bottle anyway. I was curious, impatient, and I had a nervous-making date quickly ( Read more... )

I'm pretty sure that there is no such thing as meaningful, productive discussion on the Internet. With the exception of niche mailing lists/yahoo groups (which for some reason people are still polite on) and certain out-of-the-way fandom forums in the days of yore, I don't think I've ever found an Internet space or community that wasn't a constant ( Read more... )

You know, I'll probably spend the next hour continuing to bitch at my wife about this but she's in the back setting up some video encoding for the time being so here I am.

We went out to dinner with this friend of hers who wishes she was her girlfriend... or maybe wife... I dunno. Point is, she's way more into my wife than my wife is into her. It's ( Read more... )

So ever since I switched my diet and stopped eating fast food and tortured animals, there's been one thing that I've consistently craved: the Chick-Fil-A sandwich. It haunts my hungry thoughts like heroin does a junkie ( Read more... )

and no, I don't just mean teh menz.

On of my pet peeves of the Internet is when individuals in certain groups get all up in arms if their specific exceptions to the norm or the topic aren't ennumerated each and every time said thing is discussed. i.e. Discussions of the politics of period sex devolving into rants about how not all women bleed and ( Read more... )
