Always Anti-fascist!

Love Borgosian, Bon! Also, he's like BFFs with John C.(Dr Cox) McGinley. Which I think is cool, though I'm a big newbie.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Which two, Kevin? Gervais and Merchant? The adorable Martin Freeman?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I saw Gervais -- is that what he was doing?

And from earlier in the day, Duran Duran sounded great! I was impressed.

Punishingly Intricate

Anybody a UK The Office fan? Two of the cast did a song at the Diana concert today in character.

YES!! WHO??? And when can I see it??

I am making some strawberry vinaigrette right now. Mashed up strawberries are soaking in champagne vinegar (is that what macerating is?). I predict yumminess!

Still no work to do! Sweet. I'm not going to check again after like 8, because fuck that.

What is even happening?

Yes (they can also macerate in their own juices -- er...not for what you're making, just in re maceration).

Oh, dear. Now I'm earwormed with a filked up version of Macarena.

(Hey, Macerater!)

So macerating is just mashed up berries sitting in some kind of juice, then?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Doesn't look like it's online. It was Ricky and Mackenzie. Ricky got stuck on stage afterwards waiting for Elton John to set up, and got heckled quite badly. Unless it was a set up, I wasn't sure.

Compassionately intolerant

Love Borgosian, Bon!

Man. Me too.

He nearly killed me in the front row of a show at the Barnes of Wolftrap. (my deathly allergy vs. his unexpected-character driven cigarette on stage feet from my nose.) and was extremely sweet about it. Teased me all night in a very gentle, surprising way.

I was struck by the fellow sitting next to my boyfriend who claimed to have never been to a Bogosian show but that he'd heard that the front row usually gets spit on. His reaction was an unsettlingly violent he just better NOT meaning...please give me something to make an ass of myself over.

His hung puppy disappointment at the end was one of the funniest moments in a very well-crafted evening of entertainment.

Yes, or just sitting in their own juice, even. I mean, as far as I know. That's my primary understanding of the word. I've also used it when I've sliced up strawberries, and sugared them, and let them sit in the fridge over night. They get juicier (or that is, some of the juice leaks out and then the berry slices macerate in that juice).
