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

I hadn't seen the first Die Hard with all the cussing, and then I'd never seen the one with Sam Jackson.

Well, those are the best ones!

So we watched that, and then Bridesmaid's. Which was pretty damn funny.

It was.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Oops, I've seen the first Die Hard movie back in the day wit the cussing, but I'd only seen in on cable, expurgated, for a long time.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Growing up in KC I heard gunfire pretty regularly and once encountered someone who had just been shot. I don't recall ever hearing gunfire when I lived in Detroit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Gunfire and police helicopters were a staple when I lived in Detroit. Occasional helicopter here, not so much bullets.

Good lord, on that list of cities, Cincinnati is only slightly larger than Anchorage AK. Of course, I bet the Cincinnati metro area is rather bigger than the Anchorage metro area. But seriously.

Meara-ing:

Yay rescued golden re-pit bull!

The Beemer sounds very nice.

I like that dark wood, Lee.

I had no idea New Orleans had such a high murder rate, although Nora's analysis sounds plausible.

So, I'm sitting here drinking my coffee and smelling a cassolet slowly bake. Duck fat, man. I am such a convert to the church of cooking with duck fat. The cassolet smells amazing!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The City of Mount Isa in Queensland (population 22,000) covers an area greater than Switzerland. [link]

I occasionally think they designated this whole area a city just to mess with the Swiss.

Here's another Wikipedia chart that shows Somerville at #17 density: [link]

Just behind West Hollywood and ahead of East Orange. Some of the higher-ranked ones are statistical anomalies, like the giganto-apartment complex (Guttenberg, NJ) that incorporated itself.

I love the Australian Open. That is all.
