Let’s take a moment to presuppose that it is entirely plausible for me to wear a burrito. What would I look like? Answer: handsome, and also, delicious.

As you might be able to tell, I’m holding a glass of wine and a box of Legos. The droppings on the ground are from the burrito, and not an insinuation that I might be incontinent or have a digestive malady. I know what you’re thinking. Don’t judge me. *You* try to wear a bean and cheese burrito, and see if you can keep the filling from getting all over the place.

saramcpherson:

Some of the goods available for purchase at my local stab ‘n’ grab.  There isn’t  an expiration date, although I maintain that amputated pigs’ feet are, by definition, already expired… at least as far as the pig is concerned.

Note: Sara bought 2 jars.

I'd Backspace Most of My Life If I Could...

Electronic conversations, whether it be SMS, email, or IM, are so much more convenient. I’m terrible at remembering things verbatim, so a chat transcript is essential if I need to go back at a later date to analyze what was said. The ability to edit yourself before submitting your thoughts to someone is glorious. There have been too many moments when having face-to-face conversations where I wished I could backspace what was just said.

Life: Season 1 will be released on dvd this week. This was one of my favorite sleeper shows last season, second only to Pushing Daisies. I loved Damian Lewis from the Band of Brothers mini-series on HBO, and I think he’s excellent on this show, too. There’s a strong cast and great writing, but the last couple of episodes suffered from the writer’s strike. I’m really looking forward to the second season, which starts on September 29th.

Scotch

  • Sterling: give me some coffee.
  • Sterling: I need it. I slept for three hours for the fifth night in a row
  • Sterling: and I think I may have had at least a fifth of scotch every night
  • Vinh: yuck
  • Sterling: which is sort of not good at all by any means
  • Sterling: yuck? Scotch, yuck? really?
  • Vinh: no no, it's good
  • Vinh: .... good for the Scotch industry

Alert: Plum Pudding is Not a Pudding

  • Sterling: Plum pudding is neither pudding, nor contains plums. Ponder.
  • Vinh: really? I don't really like pudding.
  • Sterling: It's not really pudding, it's a steamed cake and it's awesome.
  • Sterling: You douse it in brandy and light it on fire.
  • Vinh: interesting
  • Sterling: Interesting? Brandy and fire = interesting?
  • Sterling: dude. Unless, by interesting, you mean goddamned fucking rad.
  • Vinh: unless plum pudding somehow reached out and gave me hugs and kisses, i'm not thoroughly impressed. Paid my bills too...
  • Sterling: Um... it gives your tummy hugs and kisses? You sort of kiss it when you consume it
  • Sterling: It does touch your lips and tongue and totally turn to mush... just like a girlfriend
  • Sterling: I should start a matchmaking service for gustative pleasures.
