Talking points
Prepare for protests. KU to celebrate Darwin Day.
Can someone explain the appeal of Norah Jones to me? Is it just the typical American infatuation with a pretty face that sings safe music? I listened to her first two albums and found them pretty darn boring. Her voice is, as I said--pretty, but IMO there was no soul, no variation, no emotion. She's got Grammy awards out the wazzoo, and now there's this surge of interest in her third album. I don't get it.
Cooking for other people is a wonderful thing. Thank you![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bestill for joining me for dinner last night. So many people living by themselves don't cook because what's the point of cooking for one? I understand this, but you can cook for two just as cheaply as one (as long as you're not just throwing a package of ramen noodles in the pot). And why not? For me, there are few greater pleasures than sharing food. Even the Buddha said there is no joy in eating alone. I'm not saying every meal should be a community event, but it's certainly something that people can/should try a couple times a week.
This photo of the embracing skeletons is beautiful, creepy, sad, and touching.
This is not a good week for the four-legged family members of many friends. Consider spending some extra attention to your furry companion(s) tonight. Even if you're still pissy at them for biting you earlier this week.
Sometimes it's best to admit defeat on a certain project. Mr. Ball of Lion Brand Micro-Spun, you were not meant to be a scarf. You look too much like bad 70s crochet. I'm sorry. I'm leaving you for a nice mohair blend. Perhaps you will have better luck as a beret.
Especially forshrijani, Old Doc's Soda Shop, featuring sodas bottled with cane sugar instead of corn syrup.
I think that's it. Stay warm.
