because they are ick?
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Noah and my mom videochatted. In the 7 minutes they were online together, she taught him to blow kisses and almost to say a noah-version of grandma. I'm curious what he will be like after 3 weeks with her at christmas (she and my dad are coming out here).

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I get my eyebrows waxed. My skin is way too sensitive for plucking -- I end up with a face full of broken blood vessels.

Oh good, I don't have to fear brussel spouts in a week.
If we could get my parents on videochat... I think my mother would be in heaven.

Can't decide if it fills me with love or hate! I always wanted a casio electric keyboard. And yet, I already have enough bizarrely atonal electronic music playing from children's toys.

I hated brussel sprouts for years, and then a friend made me awesome brussel sprouts, and then I had a fantastic salad with brussel sprouts in it a month or so back.
So now I like brussel sprouts. The key is not to boil them; you have to braise or roast them to keep them from getting bitter.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I love them myself, but I have gotten out of the cooking habit, so I don't buy a lot of stuff that requires thought and effort.

My parents are on really slow dialup. They can't get cable where they are and for some reason I don't get, are dragging their feet about dsl.
