SO real. Atp in my life I'd rather just go somewhere, or like maybe expendable food is okay, but even that is getting to be a bit much because I literally have snacks piling up and going rancid :E|

I understand about 50% of what you're saying, so I'll take your word for it.

I could explain it in detail with images and code snippets and stuff but I'd need some sort of dedicated web space for that

I remember hotel breakfasts in California when I was there. (yes, not just one hotel) We were told there were great breakfast menus:(

The ultimate chip shame is reaching the crumbs at the bottom and using the bag to funnel them directly into your mouth. Also, if we’re allowing foods with origins elsewhere, I’d add Tex Mex to the list. It’s just as popular as pizza and significantly more delicious.

It's called Abstract Expressionism, PLEBE. And sometimes when your husband hoards giant weird stamps you have to use them before postage rises so much you have to put 3 on an envelope.

I'm just saying, from here until forevermore I'm going to have to assume that all fancy-ass stamps were picked out specially for me.

They bumped it to 78 cents recently. It's still way cheaper than many other countries, but I never would have envisioned pen paling to be expensive.

But what will it cost you if you give up the correspondence? Happiness? Safety? You have no way of knowing whether or not I pursue former penpals across the earth like Frankenstein's creature.

Hmmm. You're right, I do not know that. So here's a question: do you pursue former penpals across the earth like Frankenstein's creature?

I... actually like it, for the most part. I remember you saying you thought it was one of Austen's weaker novels for its fairy-tale-ness, so I imagine it doesn't improve things if you have to trim out all the subtleties to fit it into a 2-hour runtime.

I will agree that the ending scene is really bad. It's so bad. I dread re-watching the movie because I don't want to be subjected to that scene again.

It's mostly that they took out the humor that was in the book and replaced it with their own bad humor. And cut out a lot of plot points to make room for random fancy shots of landscapes and statuary. And everybody was played so flat and subdued that it didn't make sense why any of the characters cared about each other.
BBC Pride and Prejudice is superior. "Oh, my poor nerves!" Is what Mrs Bennett says when she sees the Kiera Knightly Pride and Prejudice.

I think they could have gotten away with 5 hours instead of 6, but the BBC is much truer to the spirit of the book. They actually let people be funny and ridiculous.

But welcome to the club! I've been RSS-ing for 15 years. When it comes to keeping on top of new content, nothing's been able to beat it yet.

I was excited to see my local NWS offices have RSS feeds, but they've not had any content added to them. It's been a hassle getting updates from them since leaving Facebook D:

Hmm, I see my local office posted the winter weather outlook 18 days ago. Nothing for daily weather though. That would be nice to have.

so wise... messing with your site and meta-posts about your site setup is the endless black void that keeps calling to me...
I have plenty of other site things to futz with and subsequently post about, don't worry
