Having looked on CL to see what I can afford to rent in the East Bay on $400, I sympathize with this recent grad in Beijing who built himself an egg-shaped temp shelter out of bamboo and burlap. [link]
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I would like to go on the record that I loathe AT&T with the heat of 10,000 suns.
Get in line. I've been swearing that I wouldn't piss on AT&T if it was on fire since at least 1992.

My house smells of chocolate, dulce de leche and cinnamon and such. Mmmm. I think I need to work to make them prettier, though.

Mmm, sarameg. Yum. I'm glad you feel better.
Spidra, that's an awful shock about the bill. I hope you get it resolved soon.
I had a French dip and it was OMG so good. I am on the Standing All Day/Not Eating Except for Snatched Bites diet and exercise plan. Woo, I know my thighs will be more toned by Xmas! But I can tell my kness are getting OLD.

Cookies: goddamn, they're rich. I tried 4 using coconut cream, but they were a disappointment. The cookie needs something equally as substantial to hold up against the chocolate/cinnamon/cayenne, and the coconut is (shockingly) too delicate. Dulce de leche really makes the cookie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Holy crap, that sounds good.

And what's with all the carrots?
It puts my instant jell-o chocolate pie to shame.

Photo proof: [link] I sliced an odd number so I did an open face one. Might do more, if the balance is right (can't eat another tonight. 2 were enough!)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Those menorahs that have eight candles with only one lit aren't first-night menorahs, they're eighth-night ones that haven't been totally lit yet. First night should have one candle in the middle, one candle at the end, and all the other candle holders empty.
