    Tonight I’m grilling some inside skirt steak, and have a pan full of stir-fry on the stove.

    My wife gets it topped with two fried eggs and a side of gluten-free uncured bacon.

      Aww… My heart warms!

      It’s a gender neutral pronoun I picked up in some old lesbian feminist tome.

      How are you tonight? If your tailbone is as resilient as your spirit and dedication, you should be feeling fine!

    That mantra to Vajrayogini the wonderful witch shared with me is super awesome. Concentrating on the cadence clears the mind and allows for deeper connections.

    My wife’s been watching the Buffy marathon on mute with the closed captioning on while we listen to music.

    I still don’t much like watching fictional shows, but Buffy doesn’t disgust me. The episode in which she talked over her problems with the vampire psychologist before slaying him was pretty badass.

          • batgirl May 19,2012 8:17 pm || Up

            That was just the scene I was thinking of and chuckling about. Or when they drew the stick figure of buffy on the projector and she got mad because it made her look fat.

            Another favorite of mine is when Willow cast the spell and accidentally made Buffy and Spike fall in love and Giles went blind.

            • SPWC May 19,2012 8:22 pm || Up

              Yeah, I kinda have a crush on Willow now. Then again, if I need to get rid of it, I can always watch an episode of “How I Met Your Mother”

    segueing from buffy to worthless TV, i just finished every episode of bones available on nflx intant in about… oh, a week.5. i kinda just listen to TV as i’m doing work. the sound design on bones is really weird. the background voice actors are very clear and you can catch actual words, where in other shows it’s just mumbling. then you look at the screen and none of the extras are talking. it’s disturbing.

    now i need a new show. recs? i’ve got maybe 4 more hours of work tonight and i don’t think i can make it dry.

      I know some people around here weren’t wild about it, but I just finished season 2 of Treme and found it very watchable. I’m not sure what you like. Luther? Friday Night Lights?

      • AV May 19,2012 8:19 pm || Up

        i liked treme 1 and i kinda want to pay attention to 2, so i’m saving it. saw luther recently and FNL holding my wife’s hand.

        i’m difficult. what i need has to be just bad enough that i keep 51% of my mind on work, and not so bad that i’ll get up off my seat.

        the whole thing’s terrible! just one of those contradictions in my life, where i can be so high-falutingly demanding on one hand and then sit through 129 episodes of crap just because i like a character’s talking cadence and how she giggles when she’s being “amusing.” and i like that angel guy’s self-effacing glances.

          It was just bad in the first couple of seasons but when Zack ended up a serial killer it really jumped the shark. They also have no idea how to write for the ensemble cast. Shit just randomly happens in their personal lives out of nowhere despite not having said anything about their character for the last season.

            i had a brief acquaintanceship with the exec story editor and whenever there’s one of those strange plot adds you’re talking about his face pops front and center in my mind.

            wasn’t there a trend for a little bit where the inhouse lab tech was the serial killer/traitor in a few of these types of shows?

    Sometimes I’m envious of Bed because his stream of consciousness is full of mid-century ex-presidents and commercial prog rock and golf and old advertising jingles. Mine, OTOH, can be a dark and scary place.

            Maybe. But we really do have a country-leading garbage system. If this was about allowing bidding to fulfill exactly that program, maybe. But it essentially requires breaking the service up for several companies, which will lead to zero responsibility and massive fail, at least IMO

    Oh joy, a dozen gunshots…
    Sigh, I always somehow forget about warm weekend nights in Oakland.

      Yeah… we get the gunshots in Rosemont too.

      We also get lots of Sheriff’s dep’t helicopter hovering. I don’t quite understand the need to provide further support 10-15 minutes after an arrest is made; I guess they just like flying circles over the shopping center for funsies.

        in short –

        local legend. crazy fast moto rider, instructor, teacher, ambassador of SAFETY when riding. A guy who influenced those who knew him, and those who only knew OF him.

        no details yet. apparently he slid off a turn into a ravine today, was life flighted, and later succombed to his inuries.

        i had the privlege of enjoying a day with him once. full of life, HAPPY, and a complete love and joy of motorcycling and helping others be better and safer at the sport.

        its fucking bullshit that HE gets taken away when he lived to help others so much. that said he was doing what he loved and what he had a complete and total passion for. i guess we should all be so lucky

            He was featured in a national moto rag, mostly because he put 100,000 miles on a “beginner” bike and made experts look like they had never ridden before when they tried to follow him.

              Motorcycle riding is inherently dangerous. That fact must never be forgotten.

              I only spent 2 1/2 years driving a bike, and I almost got killed three times by ignorant and/or insane drivers. No more of that for me, no matter how beautiful, poetic, and/or gas efficient the rest of the experience was.

    It’s a beautiful, albeit quite warm, morning… at least in my parts. Great day for wiffleball… Great day for poker in the screened-in patio, too.

      It is a beautiful morning Kay.

      To start it off right I think Im having a second cup of coffee and putting on some Jay and Kai while making breakfast.

          Only in Japan could they have 2 of the greatest jazz trombone plyers ever on some early 80s Merv Grifrin like talk show.

      we knew it was coming. it doesn’t make it less sad

      • JamesV May 20,2012 9:35 am || Up

        Most likely Godfrey will come up to replace Miller once his turn in the rotation comes again in a couple days, is my guess.

        • Future Ed May 20,2012 9:48 am || Up

          that makes sense

          I have $5. No I don\'t.
          • Glorious Mundy May 20,2012 9:58 am || Up

            I guess this isn’t the time to rush Peacock, but I think he’d be on turn, and his numbers aren’t that bad, and…I just really don’t want to watch Godfrey again.

            • JamesV May 20,2012 10:00 am || Up

              I’d rather only bring Peacock up when he’s determined to be ready to stay, not because of another starter getting hurt.

              • Glorious Mundy May 20,2012 10:03 am || Up

                Rational me agrees with you. Emotional me wants someone other than Godfrey.

        Yep. This is the first of the “IFS” weve all been talking about for the past week or so. I hope we are not 2 games into a 10 game losing streak that ends it all..

          If Ross goes down too, and Fuentes starts bitching about his role after today’s game, I will be convinced that we are actually reliving last year.

      • wacchampions May 20,2012 10:23 am || Up

        Ok, im confused, didnt he pitch two really good games after he had the shoulder problem that he said was no big deal?

        • Glorious Mundy May 20,2012 10:25 am || Up

          Don’t try to understand A’s injury news. That way lies madness.

        • AV May 20,2012 10:30 am || Up

          he went just 5.1 on the last one. i can’t remember why he got pulled though. was it situational or did he show strains?

          but isn’t that how these things go at oakland? you get a little hurt and they bandaid it so you’re able to go out again and really break something?

            he was tilting after a terrible call.

            Actually he was having a bad inning.

            I have $5. No I don\'t.
            • AV May 20,2012 10:39 am || Up

              that’s what i couldn’t remember. he got through the bad call inning, then came back for another, then got pulled, right?

              • JamesV May 20,2012 10:40 am || Up

                He came out right after that play, didn’t he? I wasn’t watching at the moment.

                • AV May 20,2012 10:43 am || Up

                  i can’t remember. was too busy asploding online with rage.

                  I think he came out right after.

      I’d like to see what this Bruce Billings character do in the bigs as well.

      • brian.only May 20,2012 12:35 pm || Up

        IDK, I think btwn Godfrey, Billings, and Peacock it cant be too horrible, one or two may be decent enough.

          is that any way to talk about the singer of jefferson airship??

          read the article in bed this morning. but they’re my favorite bird around the lake and i thought i’d seen one around city hall. i guess i did.

      Did he get hit in the islets?

      • brian.only May 20,2012 4:53 pm || Up

        Slammed into the RF wall after a bad read on a line drive, he was down for 10 seconds.
        May be a small rivulet up the shoulder

      • Jennifer May 20,2012 4:54 pm || Up

        Truth: When talking about Islets of Langerhans in skool, I ALWAYS think of Sal and Thunderbutt at Fenway.

      Ouch, just winced hard when the trainer manipulated his shoulder.
