Last night I sent a request through the Tonight Show website for tickets, because, why not? I just got a call *this morning* from a real live person following up on that because their system doesn't work with gmail? Weird. But it does work with hotmail?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Is New Guy an employee or a contractor?
Contractor, like me.
their system doesn't work with gmail?
Like, they can't send email to gmail? What's up with that? Having a system that can't work with gmail is shooting yourself in the foot.
That's bizarre.
I just listed my old dresser on craigslist, forgetting about the one piece that always falls off. So I'm trying to fix it, rather than edit the listing. Meh. (It's one of the pieces at the bottom, so once it's in place, it's fine.)
Since the guy's English wasn't great, I didn't ask what that meant. Very odd.
So. If you try to bake vegan cookies from a recipe, don't like the texture of the batter before baking and so add a bunch of flour and oil, then bake them and complain that they taste chalky and are too chewy, and write an article about how therefore vegan cookies are gross, you can get published in the Times! [link] (I very rarely actually stick to a recipe. But I wouldn't write a review of a cookbook based on my own modifications of the recipes.)
(Also, these are banana cookies. Of course the batter is going to be a weird consistency.)

Especially if it's a *baking* recipe and my complaint was about texture. I mean, DUH.
Just checked my hotmail, and I got the tickets. For five weeks from now, about. That was...really easy. LAistas, if you want to see Conan, take note!
Oh, god, that reminds me that my weird-eating sister is coming to stay with me for a few days. I guess we're going to eat pork the whole time. It's her only meat, and I'm pretty sure she doesn't do dairy. I think she does seafood, but I don't cook it in my apartment.
I have a bunch of cookbooks by those cookbook authors, and pretty much everything I've tried has been good. Usually, with the baked stuff, my only complaint is that they use way too much sugar for my taste. (Well, OK, that was also the cookbook where I got the recipe for those cupcakes that exploded, but I think I figured out that was my fault.)
she ONLY eats pork? is it just a taste preference?
