I love it when staff remembers me. I'm dying for people to talk to most of the time, though.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I've never seen Unshelved! But I am laughing my ass off. Also, I think this one will be Owen as an adult.

We saw that in Costco the other day! It's very amusing. Although, in an alternate world, it's called Goodnight Zune.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Uh, did I know we'd been namechecked in a webcomic? That's feeling like news to me.
Oh, man, I'm so behind on timesheets. Like, November behind. Let me get on that before the change control meeting rakes me over the coals.

Anyone here does sous-vide cooking? Are we all behind the trend? Tell me someone from the Buffistas is representing...

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've read about it, but haven't tried it. There's a pretty significant initial investment in equipment, and I don't want to spend that for something that I really just want to try once.

I feel we're all growing up and spending our silly money on sensible things, and being distracted by life and children and stuff.
However, I live vicariously through -t's kitchen, so I'm kinda holding out hope she's rocking one.

Yeah, I read Unshelved, but I wasn't reading it when that comic ran. At least I don't recall it. Pretty cool!

Sounds way too complicated for me. Also slow: if I want a steak, I want it in 15 minutes, not 36 hours or whatever.
