I don't know what the other thing is! And I have this thawed chicken I have to cook! Maybe I'll make the chicken now and eat it later. I didn't actually get all of the right ingredients anyway.
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Book ogling is always a viable option to me, Jess.

I'm glad when I ordered last night's Thai food delivery, that I had to get two dinners (damn minimum order for delivery!), so now I have ginger chicken waiting in the fridge.

I'm watching Planet Green. They just said that cutting 20% of the meat out of your diet will cut greenhouse gases or carbon emissions or something as much as switching from a regular car to a hybrid. And to show how easy it is to cut out 20% of the meat from your diet, they showed trays with (I think) 16 hamburger patties, cut off half of one patty, and said that if you don't eat that half patty, but still eat the rest, then you've eliminated 20% of the meat from your diet!

If an ad you saw had a polar bear prominently going into an ice cave with "hibernate" on the label, what would you immediate thought be?
My first thought was "beer commercial."

I tip on takeout because it's usually taking time for whoever is handling it. But usually 10 percent instead of the 20 I'd tip for sit down. It may help that it's usually work money and not my money, but.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That's...not math.

Okay, granted - I was not a math major like you, but I don't think that's right.
DH and I have decided to try going vegetarian 2 nights a week to save money. (Semi-vegetarian, anyway - the lentil soup I'm making this weekend will still have pancetta as a flavor base.) We'll see how it goes.

Cool. And that's actually somewhere around 20%.
Oy. Now someone said that his way of being green is that he doesn't use those little ketchup packets at fast food restaurants.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I could wander over to Barnes & Noble and ogle the books...
I've been known to do this to avoid traffic.
Aside from the not-math, I'm gonna have to say I cut more than 20% of the meat from my diet when I stopped eating red meat (in 1987). I don't think another 20% would have much impact.
