Alex Trebek goes around the Jeopardy! studio wearing a button that says PAT SAJAK LOOKS LIKE A BADGER. He and Sajak play racquetball every Thursday.
AHAHAHA, DYING. I will have to get my hands on this.
I kind of love that I talk about changing the "him"s and I go right ahead and use one in the next sentence. It also had me thinking of how easily we assign gender to things (and how comforting it is).
Okay, I am perfectly aware that this will make me sound like a loon, but I actually name all of my electronic equipment. Don't ask me why, but when I name them, they last twice as long. My last ipod, Sebastian, lasted FOREVER. I have never gotten a Roomba; they freak me out a little.
There's a huge Asian population in Toronto, so most stores carry gyoza dipping sauce actually (most generic chain grocery stores in my area carry Asian specialty foods you used to have to go down to Chinatown to get). The other day I stood in front of the aisle of sauces at the store and was totally intimidated by the overwhelming quantity of choice, which is why I started asking people. I should also say that I inherited my taste buds from my Irish side and so spicy = DEATH TO MY MOUTH. I'm slowly trying to build up my tolerance, though. Ahaha, you make me feel guilty about my culinary failings. Most nights I'm like, SPINACH SALAD AND RICE? OKAY, DONE. Anyway, these are some really good ideas - thank you! If this batch of dumplings actually comes out decent, maybe I'll try a couple of different sauces with it.
MY OLDER (I HAVE TWO) EXTERNAL HARDDRIVE IS NAMED SHELDON. I HAVE A DUGGARS-STYLE NAMING SYSTEM RIGHT NOW WHERE ELECTRONIC STUFF GETS AN S NAME.
AHAHAHA, THIS IS KIND OF HILARIOUS AND INCREDIBLY CREEPY AT THE SAME TIME.
(I still have Sebastian - I keep him on my ipod boombox. He's still plays fine, but I can't upload stuff on to him any more, which is why I got a new ipod that I haven't decided on a name for yet.)
I'M SORRY TO SAY THAT SHELDON AND SEBASTIAN ARE THE ONLY TWO PIECES OF ELECTRONICS THAT HAVE AN S NAME-- although my external is named Xas (and the other is Wolverine a;lsdfkajs;)-- but yes, hilarious and incredibly creepy. Did you name yours after a Sheldon or Sebastian? a;sf ngl, I named that iPod Sebastian because I was listening to Jeremy Irons read Brideshead Revisited for the umpteenth time.
WOLVERINE. Now I want to name my new ipod Wolverine! But it would mess up my naming pattern. I should just go all the way and name my new ipod Hugh Jackman.
Sheldon was named after an actual Sheldon (although I often call Sheldon "Shelly"). Sebastian's name is a little funnier/meaner. At the time I bought it, I had stumbled onto this fic in the last fandom I had been in that... defies explanation. Anyway, 'round chapter 37, the male character goes in to finally kiss the Virgin Mary Sue, and it turns into SONG FIC. All those lyrics pasted between what I can only describe as the most bizarre make out session ever. The song? Kiss the Girl from The Little Mermaid. Sung by none other than Sebastian the Crab. And my beautiful new ipod had his name.
(My newest external harddrive is named Sassafras, my laptop is Shredder, my blackberry is Stella, my camera is Sputnik, and my flash drive is Stan.)
I need a name for my phone! I feel weird that it doesn't have a name and I use it all the time.
VIRGIN MARY SUE SONGFIC SET TO LITTLE MERMAID
AMAZING
:O SPUTNIK. I love all these names. My laptop is currently OrzagII, in honor of the previous head of the OMB, Peter Orszag. For the longest time, though, I called all my laptops Mr. Evil. :D
It's a really great story, and is really how I fell in love with David Foster Wallace, because how can you not love a man who writes Trebek/Sajak UST.
Roombas are kind of funny because they seem so hapless when they get stuck? And they often keep backing up and hitting you in the same place on the shins over and over again. But I'll always have a soft spot for them because apparently there was a study that showed dogs got jealous of Roombas, since their owners would yell at the Roombas just like they would a pet, and the dogs just assumed it was another pet that got all their masters; attentions ;alsfkja
OH! You don't need it to be too spicy, just a little touch to cut through the oil, you know? And it goes really well with the vinegar, trust me. Dumplings~ you make me wish I had some. I actually asked my mohter to make me some just because of your posts, haha, and it was totally worth it. I used to be really weak in the face of spice too! But I've been building up my tolerance, and even though I still don't really love love it, I can appreciate it more now, at least.
MOST NIGHTS I AM LIKE "OH GOD EATING THE SAME PASTA I MADE ON MONDAY, BECAUSE COOKING FOR ONE PERSON IS THE PITS." I only post things on LJ if they're more interesting than tomato sauce + mushrooms + pasta.
