“When Caton and two others returned to check on the victim, he said they saw the attacker ‘cutting the guy’s head off and gutting him.’”

– I watched “The Big Sleep” last night. Although the plot was somewhat perplexing, the dialogue between Lauren and Bogie was flamin’ hot!
Making up spellings
My boss is having me edit a document so that the word “online” (as in: “Right now I’m on Tumblr, my online blog”) reads “On-Line.”
Huh? Raise a hand if you spell it that way? Am I crazy, or just don’t have enough distance from the “Inter-Net” to not think it’s preposterous?!

Seth was floored by Flushing when I brought him out for Chinese New Year dinner with my family last February. It really is another world out there - definitely worth the trip for the cheap exotic produce alone.
Take me! Take me!

I don’t think I’d be very comfortable with a combustion engine strapped to my back…then again, I guess a motorcycle is basically the same thing between your legs. Not like you’ll see me on one of them anytime soon either.

Can’t wait: The minds behind the subversive 1999–2000 cult TV favorite Strangers With Candy are reuniting this fall on… Nickelodeon?! Amy Sedaris will play a screwy principal who gets moony-eyed over a competitive gymnast–turned–PE teacher (Christopher Meloni) in Gym Teacher: The Movie, airing Sept. 12. Strangers co-creator Paul Dinello not only directed the comedy but specifically...

Creepy! Funny, because I have never read any of the books, but I quite enjoy the films (well…the later ones, anyway).

The Dark Knight
I finally just saw it, and I want to spit out this detailed review while it’s still very clear in my mind:
Meh?

Great minds, etc, etc
Now, who posted it first?
My one question is, why does Batman talk like Harvey Firestein?
Agree with all

The Elegant Art of Feminine Combat →
OMG - This game is so much fun. You play a woman of “low birth” who married above her station. You must fight the sisters and matriarch noble-women who don’t want to see a peasant take over their estate. You literally slap your way through the game. So much fun. (Thanks, Chucky)

Seamless Web
Seamless Web is a wonderful service with an easy and effective U.I. I have been a personal SW user for awhile and recommend it over other services like Delivery.com where you have to sometimes fumble around with cash and tip. Plus, at least in Manhattan, they seem to have a better range of dining options (and photos to go with them). GO SEAMLESS WEB!
Plus, ask about their discounts for bloggers...

SeamlessWeb is offering $100 in “free food coupons” to bloggers who write about them. Sure, a little Pay-Per-Posty, but SeamlessWeb is actually a pretty great product. I would never be able to satisfy my Why Curry Peanut Chicken addiction with them. Plus, you get 20% off the first time you order from a handful of restaurants.
I love...

– “A Natural Selection” - Olivia Judson’s Darwin Series in the NY Times. This one focuses on evolutionary changes that have occurred in the last 40 years. This, to me, is the most salient example of rapid evolutionary change (that she presented).

I’m not serving dinner but I may want clean, non-greasy finger food for a bunch of people. And I like to cook in advance.
That said, if no decent ideas come up, I’m putting out donuts for my guests. Why donuts? Because I like to see the struggle on people’s faces when their brains suddenly can’t process their priorities among vices. “Tasty” or “skinny”? It’s like putting two Deadly...
