Mmm Dove Bars! And are magazines how people survive without a properly politcially oriented newspaper like the Washington Post readily available?

[shake_the_stars]

Mmm, yes! Too bad they don't last very long. Then again, in order for them to last a long time, they'd have to taste like poo, and that would be bad.

That's my experience, yeah. But then, I think the Post more or less spoiled me for other newspapers.

(Which reminds me, I didn't pick up a National Review. It's a far-right rag, of course, but at least it gives me some insight into a perspective I wouldn't necessarily have otherwise.)

I'm familiar with couscous, but what in the world is grouper? I'm not culturally adept, Lee, you'll have to explain it to me, and why yours wasn't perfect.

Forty dollars? On magazines, but not any money on books? For shame! **coughs**

[shake_the_stars]

Grouper is a kind of fish, silly flufflet. It was not perfect because it tasted rather soapy and chemical-y, not unlike someone had washed it but didn't rinse thoroughly. Needless to say, as I was looking forward to the fish portion of dinner, I was crushed.

1.) See last weekend's post, wherein I spent more than twice that on books.
2.) I make the money; therefore, I decide how it will be spent*.

*Good Lord, I sound just like my father. "He who has the gold makes the rules!"

Check your e-mail. :D

Yes, Ashley. :D

It could be much worse. The last time I spent anywhere near that amount on American magazines, it was on such titles as: J14, Twist, Popstar, Teen People, Tigerbeat, etc etc etc.

There is nothing wrong with teen girl mags. Where would I be without my monthly Allure fix?

I was surprised at the faint fluttering of interest in current affairs, struggling to issue forth from the chitinous covering of indifference that enrobes my brain. :D

[augustuscaesar]

I'm ashamed to say that I've never read Allure. SHOCK!

Current affairs just end up pissing me off after a while, so I doubt I could read things like Time and Newsweek and so forth :/

[shake_the_stars]

OMG HEATHEN!!!111 Sam was all, "OMG a chink in j00r manliness!" Talyn was also shocked and horrified to learn that I like Allure.

Yeah, same here. This is why I read Foreign Affairs and The Economist and International Socialist Front.

I only look at that last for the pictures.
