Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

I "root" for the Steelers from old Steel Curtain days nostalgia. I have no idea who is on the team. For all I know, it's still Franco Harris, Terry Bradshaw, Jack Lambert, and Mean Joe Greene. (Yes, I know they've all moved on) And I never liked Jack Lambert because my college freshman roommate bragged all the time about sleeping with him once.

I may have to seize the cat.

Catching up!

I got Will (husband-shaped person) a Melitta cone at the beginning of the month and it is working out great. I actually got a set of 2 so we could each have a cup, or he and his mom could each have a cup, without having to store a big drip maker or go through a whole French press pot. He doesn't really like the French press coffee anyway. The Melitta is perfect.

Jilli, get the electric kettle, or request it as a gift. Such a worthwhile purchase.

I only seem to like herbal teas, fruity teas, or spicy teas - peppermint, ginger, chai, orange spice, pomegranate. I'm never very happy with a black or green tea. I did get some loose leaf chocolate mint for Christmas. Now I just need to get an infuser.

I can't burn it.
My father-in-law put a brand new electric kettle on... On the stove. And thusly ruined it.

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

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That link is... Wow. (Plei's link, that is.)

Oh, it applies to Suzi's link, too. Trust me.

I've seen it used a lot, this Superb Owl thing. I even have an invite to a Superb Owl party.

Isn't that link delightful?

Someone who is not a fuckweasel assclown would have commented to tell you what happened with the sportsball to provide context, not shouted, "J'accuse!"

Vajankle is just... what? Just... I dunno. Almost an ita-link.

I went to yoga for the first time in over year. Swimming has jacked up my shoulders.
