I don't exactly get why media companies don't release things at the same time world-wide. Accounting purposes maybe? Although with instantaneous communication and file sharing these days, you'd think that releasing things at the same time would maximize the number of people wanting to buy it ( Read more... )

• Where have you been all my life, Dry Soda? Curently drinking the Vanilla Bean soda, and it's absolutely the perfect level of sweet for me. In other words, hardly at all. But yet there's no artificial sweetners! FINALLY.

Important discovery! While the Sherlock tv series fic has overwhelmingly pregnant John, the fic from the Sherlock RDJ movies has lots of pregnant Holmes.

Maybe it's the height that determines the mpreg preference?

Jude Law = 6'0"
RDJ = 5'9" = PREGNANT

Benedict Cumberbatch = 6'0"
Martin Freeman = 5'7" = PREGNANT

:O

I'm actually not quite sure ( Read more... )

I was in cooking mode today, and it turned out pretty tasty, if I say so myself. I made slow cooker pea soup using this recipe. Although I used ham instead of smoked sausage. (Smoked sausage in pea soup? HAM.) It also didn't need that much liquid. I'd say 8 cups instead of 10, and even then it's not super thick ( Read more... )

• Still on my mystery kick, I felt like saying (probably again) that Mrs. Oliver makes Poirot 100x awesomer. XD The more Zoe Wanamaker can join the cast, the better. Mrs. Oliver is the perfect snarky, slightly scattered, foil for Poirot.

I finally broke down and ordered myself a FasTrak transponder. I figured that some days a couple of bucks will be worth saving my sanity ( Read more... )

I watched Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution this weekend. Talk about eye-opening. I never went to a school with a lunch program, so I never realized how much processed junk is served. That's what the government deems to be nutritious, and also what comes in under budget. For as suspicious we are of our government at getting too involved in things ( Read more... )

• My parents were down for lunch yesterday and we happened to start talking about books. It's funny - I was recommending The No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency (the series or the books, even though the books are still on my to-read list), and my dad brought up The Finer Points of Sausage Dogs. Same author!
