FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
what's wrong? - Sir Shuping is just sir
I reckon she'll tell us when/if she's ready. - Derrick
Starmama
Good morning. How's your Sunday so far?
Hey boo. Taxes, thunderstorms, baseball and chilling like a villain is my agenda today. How you doing? - Derrick
My kid's been torturing me with annoying behavior and making too much noise. I just gave him permission to play the DS so I'm hoping peace soon follows. Now I'm sipping coffee, looking at the internet, & watching the dogs play. - Starmama from FFHound(roid)!
snowy with a smidge of the ever charming "wintry mix" but warm here by the hot cocoa machine ;) - WarLord
Bout to start a fire. It's chilly here. Coffee, reading, working a bit, then shuffling off to the shop for a while this afternoon. - SAM
Our weather is sunny & breezy today, not a cloud in the sky that I can see. Still might not make it outside at all... - Starmama from FFHound(roid)!
Hey boo. Crocheting. Listening to music (first song was Wipe me Down). Enjoying a lazy Sunday. - Monique the crochet freak
FEATHERS BEAKS NESTS SHOES lmmfao - Starmama from FFHound(roid)!
Coffee and crochet on the porch. Some bird watching and daydreaming also. *blows a kiss* - t-ra: confounded from Android
Lazy. Slept in, drank some coffee in bed, and now I will reluctantly do some work. - Kelli H.
Circling the CSS. Need to make my dentist's site responsive before my 1 pm cleaning tomorrow. - Mary B: #TeamMonique from iPhone
good here. birds and animals feed,truck race on the tv and then tennis. - VALZ/TT/TM
Hey Mandy. Lazy day here. Going out for fondue dinner with friends later. - Tamara J. from FFHound(roid)!
Talked to my parents. Hot oatmeal for breakfast. Good, healing nap. Dying hairs now. Soon, shower, knitting, dog loving, husband time, and possibly making a good dinner for us. It is beautiful outside. - Running Slow
Sounds good to me! Here's to a great week ahead for us all :-) - Starmama from FFHound(roid)!

Who goes to the EYE doctor and vomits? Me. That's who.
oh yikes. something about the eyedrops? - RepoRat
I was injected with some kind of dye so they could see blood vessels, blah blah and like 15 seconds after the dye hit my bloodstream I barfed. - Derrick
Which I guess is common? Ugh. - Derrick
no bueno. :( - holly #ravingfangirl
what is this stuff so that I may avoid it?! - RepoRat
Yeah. Indeed. I get to go back in six weeks to see if the minor problem is cleared up on its own (as it did in my right eye) or if they have to INJECT MY EYEBALL WITH MEDICINE. RR, I think you're good. This is likely related to being diabetic. - Derrick
nts: no injections at the eye doctor - Christina Pikas
(And then I got a parking ticket.) - Derrick
Ow. - Julian
:( - Anne Bouey
It was also weird that when they finished taking pics, I backed away from the machine and everything was orange. O_o - Derrick
I have diabetes on both sides of my family. Good so far, but unlikely to remain so. - RepoRat
I hate the eye doctor like some people hate the dentist. haven't barfed, but have come very close to crying too many times to count. - $tephanie•Gardening
I was lax for a long time, RR, but I'm doing a lot better now. Hopefully the blurp they see will dissipate, but it's important to stay on top of your health, especially when diagnosed with a chronic illness. Stephanie, both of them make me crazy! I never thought I'd barf from the eye doctor. Ugh. By comparison my root canal was easy peasy. - Derrick
okay, the parking ticket is dos muchos. - RepoRat
haha, it was. When I showed her the dye that LEAKED OUT OF MY EYE on my hand she said: "Damn. I wish I could cancel the ticket." Me too, boo. Me too. - Derrick
I have had this dye in my eye as well, did not puke though. Just the world was orange. Parking lady should totally cancel the ticket dammit. - LibrarianOnTheLoose
Holy-hell...getting teed-up twice in one day?! Not cool. - JA Castillo
:( - Tamara J.
root canal > eye drops / eye injections that make you barf. - $tephanie•Gardening
oh, doll. so sorry. that means you're done for the day, right? saltines and ginger ale, then off with the pants. - t-ra: confounded
good grief world, cut our d some slack already! - Marie
I'm at work! - Derrick from iPhone
I'm hoping the rest of the week is smooth sailing, D. Fair weather ahead? - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
Well, I'll probably leave early today cause I'm just feeling wiped out, but most likely not. I just seem to stay stressed out over all the other stuff going on lifewise. - Derrick
*hugs* I'm sorry, boo. - The LB: #TeamMonique from Android
I straight passed out once at the ENT office. He was messing with my nose (post sinus surgery). I remember saying "something isn't right. I don't feel good" and then waking up on the floor with like 8 peope around me. It was the weirdest thing ever. - Jeff (Team マクダジ ) from iPhone
Derrick
Tomorrow's weather - Daytime high: 83° Will feel like: 91°
It's about time for the eight months of summer to begin. - Derrick
I think last week's cold front was probably the last one until October. - Trish R
Eric - Too Hot

I'm not as opposed to this idea as I had once thought I would have been. :) - Steve and 4 other people
I carry around my Nexus 7 with me most everywhere, and this would be smaller. :) - Steve and 4 other people
That's...substantial. Too big for me, but clearly there's a market for them. - Derrick
I was displeased when I had to switch from putting my phone in my coin pocket to putting it in a main front pocket. But I can't imagine lugging a device with me that had to occupy a hand or bag all the time. - Tinfoil 2.0
A buddy of mine has a Note II and he loves it, but he looks silly to me when he's on the phone, or the imprint is visible in his pants pocket. - Derrick
I have a Note II and love it but I also rarely talk on it. My wife has one but uses a headset (that's more of habit than anything else, though). These Mega phones are silly if only for the fact that they're not as powerful. - Curtis (a) Jackson

In the style of the usual "embarrass yourself with old pictures on FF" type of post, I present a younger me, probably a third of my present age (if not younger). Cousin of some sort posted it on FB a while back.

I'm the guy in the yellow shirt in case all that hair on my head confuses you. :) - Curtis (a) Jackson
Who is hiding behind your head? - Janet:#TeamMonique
Another cousin, brother to the female cousin photographer. Coincidence he was left out? I'll let you decide. :) - Curtis (a) Jackson
You were born to be Wild, Alan. Or were you born to be Draw Four? - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
Look at your hair, boo. - Derrick
Love it. :) - Kelli H.
holly #ravingfangirl
finally trying Vietnamese tonight so people can stop being disappointed in me. ;)
lemongrass pork vermicelli bowl? maybe? - holly #ravingfangirl
Girl, yes. - Derrick
Heh, more like so your taste buds will be LESS disappointed, methinks! Yummm! - MiniMage
Pho Sure! - Brian Johns
I wasn't to know what you had & how you liked it! - Starmama from FFHound(roid)!
i had salad rolls with tofu and the lemongrass pork vermicelli bowl. all super tasty :) - holly #ravingfangirl

Why Can't America Get Poutine Right - http://www.buzzfeed.com/henrygo...
Why Can't America Get Poutine Right
Show all
"When poutine is made properly, the gravy should be hot enough to melt the cheese curds and make the fries soggy. What you're left with is an awesomely goopy, gravy-licous, hot potato mess. For people who enjoy a night of drinking, poutine works perfectly as a calorie-rich after-bar snack -- or the most ideal hangover food in human history. You don't have to be a drunk to enjoy it. You do, however, have to be unconcerned with eating more than 1500 calories in a single, carb-heavy cholesterol-soaked meal. And if you're a real American, you shouldn't be." - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet
"1. America treats poutine like it's a side dish or an appetizer. WRONG. [...] 2. America treats poutine like it's for special occasions. WRONG. [...] 3. America tries to "improve" upon poutine. WRONG." - Andrew C (✓)
"The above poutine from La Banquise in Montreal has bacon, grilled onions and peppers. It is great. But we American are not READY to add or take away any of the three main ingredients. We are trying to enter a cheat code to get ahead to the most advance levels of poutine, and when we get there, we fail." - Andrew C (✓)
La Banquise!! I love that place :) - Brent Schaus
I'm intimidated by poutine. I feel like I could have a couple or three bites and then I'd be good. Good for sharing, no? - Derrick
Cheat code - Eric - Too Hot
I honestly don't understand how people screw this up so often -- but then again, I don't understand people who put mayonnaise or corn on pizza either, or try to make spaghetti sauce with ketchup. Foods are often lost in translation, even when they shouldn't be. - Jennifer Dittrich
I am not sure my stomach is able to handle any version of this dish. - babeuf
Derrick: yeah, that's often the case. Sharing a poutine on a cold day is one of life's pleasures. But I've been known to wolf down a plate/bowl of poutine more than once. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in that lol - Brent Schaus from iPhone
how people manage to eat (and even like!) this will remain a mystery for me. - grizabella
This thread is just making me crave this like mad :D - Jennifer Dittrich
i have a packet of poutine gravy mix in the pantry. *eyes* - holly #ravingfangirl
Now this makes me think about french fry po boys: French fries on a french roll with roast beef gravy and debris with cheese. Oof. - Derrick
GIMME DAT TOO. - holly #ravingfangirl
I wonder why LA reputedly has bad poutine. The carne asada fries are pretty good... - Andrew C (✓)
OMG, carne asada fries I grew up on in San Diego? I might have to try to recreate that. I wish I could find a good marinade recipe. - Derrick
I've tried poutine in Montreal but I didn't like all those ingredients together. Chili cheese fries are big here in Texas, but I'm not really a huge fan of those, either. - Trish R
If you have an In-N-Out handy, order the fries Animal Style. Not poutine, but similar philosophy. - Brian Johns
Yes, but INO's fries are not good. They're always too soggy (even if you don't order them animal style). But if you try ordering them 'extra crispy' or 'dark' or whatever the secret menu term is for double-frying, then they're finally crispy but dried out. - Andrew C (✓)
Plus, neither carne asada fries nor animal-style INO fries have the 'squeak' of poutine cheese curds. - Andrew C (✓)
I loved the poutine I got at Senate in Cincinnati. As for making it, myself, I wouldn't have the foggiest idea where to get the right cheese curds. - MiniMage
holly #ravingfangirl
uh oh. someone found my new pics!
LMAO. my phone is going bonzo. - holly #ravingfangirl
it's like a fight between you and derrick. ;) - holly #ravingfangirl
You can turn those notifications off. :) - Derrick
I've always liked DC's cherry blossoms. :-) - John (bird whisperer)
normally it's not a problem, D. :) for that matter, it still isn't. just making me laugh. - holly #ravingfangirl
I've never seen them! I can't believe I've never even BEEN to DC... - Derrick
Have you been drinking? - Derrick
they were AMAZING. i was there the day after the officially declared peak bloom day. - holly #ravingfangirl
NO DRINKING. - holly #ravingfangirl
Oh. I have. - Derrick
i just haven't made my way there yet. :) - holly #ravingfangirl
I read nude pics, not new pics. Where is my mind? - Eric - Too Hot
Someone say nude pics? - Andy
The Newdist Podcast. Make it happen. - Micah
What? No pictures of your tattoo against the cherry blossoms? You have failed the foot fetish folks on Flickr (say x3). - Kristin
i am so ashamed. - holly #ravingfangirl
As well you should be. :^) - Friar Will
holly #ravingfangirl
OH MY GOD SPOTIFY. i am judging you so hard right now.

Excuse you. - Zamms from iPhone
never eating again. or at least until the next time. - holly #ravingfangirl
Same. Eating a giant meal then dancing is never a good combo. - Andy
i just ate tooooooooo much noodles. tasty delicious noodles. and pork. - holly #ravingfangirl
Glad you enjoyed it. :) - Derrick
SO GOOD. :) - holly #ravingfangirl
i could have eaten an entire plate of just that lemongrass pork. - holly #ravingfangirl
There was a place I used to go to in Silverlake in L.A. all the time where you could get the just the pork (well, a couple chops anyway) served with salad and rice and that wonderful fish sauce based condiment. Girl... - Derrick

Homemade carne asada fries. | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
Welp. - Derrick from Bookmarklet
I think I've found the perfect carne asada recipe. I don't eat a lot of beef, but I'll keep this one highlighted in my recipes as a go to. - Derrick
Is this the recipe you linked to earlier? - Ha3rvey (on hiatus)
Also, this reminds me that I was supposed to look up some lomo saltado recipes. - Ha3rvey (on hiatus)
Kind of. I looked at three different recipes and kinda used what appealed to me the most...1.5lb flank steak. 1T of cumin, kosher salt, black pepper. 6? smashed cloves of garlic. 1 lime cut in half, juiced and each half thrown in w/ the ziploc bag, 1/4 cup-ish of olive oil, 1/2 bunch of cilantro rough chopped, and a healthy sprinkle of onion powder. Let it hang out for 4-5 hours with a... more... - Derrick

This coffee is apparently doing it's job. Soul Train line on the desk with me and my students. o_O
haha, I drink coffee maybe ten times a year and I had an iced one this morning and then we Congo lined through "The Boy is Mine" by Brandy and Monica. It's... a little slow today. - Derrick
! - lris
And the dean saw us. And laughed. Ahem. - Derrick
Heh, did the dean join in? - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
Nah, he's on his way to the French Quarter Fest. He'll probably will later after a cocktail. - Derrick

I want Derrick at MY library. - Catherine Pellegrino
haha, that was a bit of a doozy this morning. Fun, though. :) - Derrick

The downside of doing your taxes on paper is getting them returned to you for more postage.
haha. - Derrick
I am more than slightly hacked at the state of Illinois for forcing me to snailmail them my return. - RepoRat

<3 Christopher Reeves.
The new Superman guy is on the cover of this week's EW and my reaction was so visceral that is was just wrong for anyone other than Reeves to play Superman. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
What's Christopher Reed got to do with Superman? - Headless Gnad Kicker
He played him in...3?... films - Pete #TeamMonique
I'm assuming MC meant Christopher Reeves :) - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
haha. - Derrick
I did. Motherfucking auto correct. - Mary Carmen from iPhone
Reeve. Not Reeves. Reeves was George, the other Superman. - Betsy #TeamMonique
Right! I blame.... Autocorrect? - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
I was wondering why you were talking about some obscure Republican politician. - Steven Perez from Android

What's your favorite hack, a customization you came up with? (doesn't have to be computer related)
I didn't come up with it, but I think the personal pool is brilliant! http://helablog.com/wp-cont... - Ken Morley
No diving board? - Micah from FFHound(roid)!
I don't have a dedicated sifter for baking but I use a fine mesh sieve instead. - Derrick
replacing the tone control with a wah pedal circuit (bridge pickup only). instant Brian May/Michael Schenker! i think Page used the wah-as-tone-control trick a few times as well. - Joe Silence
Is it hack if I stick tea leaves and other stuff in my coffeepot and let my coffeemaker drip hot water into it? - MiniMage
We took an old pill bottle cap and drilled holes in it and now this is how we shake flour for our dough. - Janet:#TeamMonique
I'd call that a hack. - Micah from FFHound(roid)!
I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom. Oh wait... wrong thread. Sorry! - Adrian

Happy birthday to one of my old school, awesome, funny, favorite FriendFeed peeps. Do it up big, baby! Happy CAJ day. :)

Ha ha! You picked THAT picture? Thanks, man! I got a couple exams to knock out midday but then...IT'S ON! :) - Curtis (a) Jackson
Happy Birthday! Have a great day. - Trish R
Happy B., CAJ - Franc, a rememberer
I wanted something that fit your personality! Plus now I know who ate all the Entenmann's. o_O - Derrick
Happy birthday, Alan. Also, rock those midterms. - Tamara J. from FFHound(roid)!
Happy Alan Day! - Mary B: #TeamMonique from iPhone
Also, I still haven't quite figured out whether to call you Curtis or Alan, so when our paths cross I will probably call you CAJ (spelled out: see ay jay, not rhyming with cash, bash, or trash.) - Derrick
LOL. I always do the same thing with the initials. - Trish R
Happy birthday! - Katy S from iPhone
Happy birthday, caj (rhyming with bash)! - Eivind
I answer to nearly about anything these days to include "Hey you". :D (As an aside, I've never figured out how CAJ should be said.) - Curtis (a) Jackson
Happy day to you, Sir! - Friar Will
Also, not to get all side-tracked and emotional, but this is when I knew FriendFeed was more than just your average socnet. You were in the military, obviously and we had interacted a bit but then you were stationed overseas AND I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU. You talked about running (either not being able to or running all of the time?) and I was like aren't we at war? I was so concerned cause that's just how I am and then you were back and I was so proud of you. Anyway. Emotional. Happy birthday. - Derrick
Awww, shucks man. I was running several days a week along the (inside of) the fence line of our base in Afghanistan armed occasionally with a cell phone but usually just my ID. I was more worried about being run over by big ass vehicles than anything else. Sounds silly but I really did appreciate your concern. :) C'mere ya big lug. *big two-armed hug* - Curtis (a) Jackson
*running chest bump* - Derrick
Happy birthday! I pronounce it as "Cadge" in my head. :) - The LB: #TeamMonique from Android

Growing up in San Diego, we did carne asada fries (or over tortilla chips); kinda poutine like. And now I'm homesick and craving them. o_O
carneasadafries.jpg
cafries.jpg
Sans guacamole, obvs. - Derrick
I'll eat the guac parts. - Jenica from iPhone
*high fives Jenica* - Derrick
Or sour cream. - Mary B: #TeamMonique from iPhone
That's popular here on tortilla chips and it's so good. - Trish R
I'ma do this for dinner. Probably over chips cause I don't feel like cooking up fries but I will replace the guacamole with more sour cream and more pico and more salsa. And probably more cheese. And beer. Because it's the weekend and I'm a grown ass man. #SaturdayFF - Derrick
I am eating this in June. - Meg V. Meg
At food trucks here, they pour a big ladle of queso over the top. SO GOOD. Because who wants to choose between grated and melted? - Trish R
Damn. - Derrick
I think I need to try this. Our local Sprouts has carne asada in the deli, and I love to bring it home to cook it, but over fries? Yes, please. - Ha3rvey (on hiatus)
They sell it already marinated and ready to cook at the local carniceria here, too, and now I want to go buy some. - Trish R
I wish we had those in New Orleans! But I found a recipe that has *tequila* in the marinade, so yes. I'll be fine. :) - Derrick
Oooh, that sounds good! - Trish R
Good gawd. - bevedog
i am going to SD this summer, if only for this. - holly #ravingfangirl
I've only had steak fries at like 3 am after the club. I can't eat like that anymore! - Starmama from FFHound(roid)!
Y'all San Diegoans put fries in your burritos too, dontcha. - Starmama from FFHound(roid)!
I feel like that became a thing after I left? I remember seeing it on menus but don't remember anyone every ordering it. I never did. I liked my CA burritos fairly simple: carne, pico, cheese, maybe some sour cream, and plenty of salsa roja on the side. - Derrick
When my sister was going to school in NYC (almost 10 years ago!) and came back to L.A. for the holidays, she demanded me and my brother drive her to S.D. for carne asada fries :D - Victor Ganata
I've done that drive from L.A. I mean I also saw my family but yeah. ;) - Derrick
Black beans instead of carne and I'm in. - RepoRat

Facebook just fed a promoted post from a bikini coffee stand into my feed. 1) Bikini coffee stands are a strange concept here in WA, are they other places? 2) I bet ads like that are going to piss off a lot of folks, wonder what FB's policy is? 3) Now instead of just worrying about the pole, parents now have to worry about their little girls...
BECOMING BARRISTAS? - SAM
Bare-ristas? - Greg GuitarBuster
I visited one close to my office for a few times. Was friendly with some of them. My then business partner actually partnered up with one of them to start a CrossFit gym. The bikini coffee stand closed in about a year due to mis-management by the woman who owned it. - Eric - Too Hot
I've never seen a bikini coffee stand. - John (bird whisperer)
John, you live on the east coast. You guys have no idea about coffee. I'm sorry. :) There are literally hundreds of coffee stands spread everywhere around Spokane and any other NW city. It's extremely pervasive. Which leads us to this phenomenon. - SAM
Only place i've seen them is in WA. Here we have these things called beaches with sunshine where you can get all bikini watching you want in. - SteVe C
Here we have almost-topless Vietnamese coffee shops: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011... - Brian Johns
There was another bikini coffee shop in town but they kept getting in trouble and they shut down. They hired strippers who were apparently willing to do more than put a little extra foam on your latte for a big tip. - Eric - Too Hot
Goodness. - Derrick
Sparky, that article is something. "It's also worth noting that the Vietnamese do not have a monopoly on caffeinated lasciviousness. It almost goes without saying that Las Vegas is home to at least one topless coffee shop, the subtly-named Sexxpresso. There are several risque latte dispensaries among the thousands in coffee-loving Washington state." - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
SAM's story checks out, because the Huffington Post backs it up. - Brian Johns
Personally, I would say that's more a failing of the advertisers. A blanket campaign is a waste of money. They give you so many filtering tools to reach your perfect CPM that a wide and ineffective net is just silly :) - Johnny from iPhone
Especially in regards to geo-location, this particular stand is WAY out my area. - SAM
We have a bikini coffee stand in Brighton across from my usual coffee stop (shout out to Brighton Coffee Beanery "HEY-EYYYY" http://tinyurl.com/bmq2er9). It's called "The Hot Spot" http://tinyurl.com/dxdoqnc . Frankly I don't get it. Coffee and lingerie? Uhm no, I prefer my coffee experience to be a little more dignified. And besides, if I were going to ogle scantily clad wimmenz, WHY... more... - MoTO #TeamMonique

I wonder if LB has an accent, being a Jawja Peach and all.
she does if she tries, but most of the time nope... - Sir Shuping is just sir
LOL! We've talked on the phone, D-Love! - The LB: #TeamMonique
Girl, I was drunk. :D - Derrick
Hee. :) (Maybe I should start spelling "LOL" as "lawl.") - The LB: #TeamMonique
Naw, she don't got no ack scent. It's awl y'all otha fokes what's got the ack scent. - John Craft
i been down to the deep south from abouts where ms lb reckons from, i bet she sure do have a fine accent at that, ;) - chaz2b
Having met her on several occasions, I can say that LB has a lovely Jawja lilt to her voice. It's not super strong, but it's nice. - Ha3rvey (on hiatus)
Funny, I was asked in DC if I were originally from GA, since my accent was less pronounced than some. - The LB: #TeamMonique
Yes, she does. - Soup in a TARDIS
Psst: Derrick. The answer is Yes (and I've never talked to LB)--because everybody has an accent. Even if some of them (like mine) don't have really good names. - Walt Crawford

How's everyone's favorite teams doing so far this year?
Rockies were 5-1, then hit the Giants. Now 5-4 and playing the pods late tonight. - OMG 404 Joe
Phillies are 4-5. The main concern is whether Halladay will come around. - John (bird whisperer)
Astros are 3-6 and I'm surprised they've won 3 games. I'm even more surprised that they aren't actually the worst in their division .. especially after moving to the AL. Yankees are 4-4, but I hope they'll get in their groove and start kicking ass again soon. - Kristin
Old-ass Yankees are muddling along... We'll see how they look by mid-summer. - Bren from iPhone
Giants are doing alright - Rodfather from Android
That was a tough game to watch tonight with the Nationals. First half was awesome, but their bullpen in the second half? Not so much. - Derrick
What Joe said. We'll see if we can put a win up on the Padres. - Eric - Too Hot from iPhone

What's your friend code? You can find it by hitting the smiley face at the top of the main screen. Mine is 4871-3868-1966 - Rodfather
I'll have to check when I get home. It was on my porch when I got home from work and I played for like four hours. haha. - Derrick
I'm hooked on it. I've been switching between Luigi's Mansion, Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, and Harvest Moon. - Rodfather
I played some Mario Kart 7 online multiplayer last night and got my ass whooped every race haha. - Rodfather
I didn't even get to Luigi's Mansion because I was stuck on 3D Land and MK 7. I also popped in Phoenix Wright because I loved that. And if I could just find my copy of Elite Beat Agents, I'd be set. - Derrick
Oh yeah those DS games are still great. I played a bit of Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks on my old DS. I have an Ace Kard 2i in it for pirated games :p Recently downloaded all the Professor Layton games. - Rodfather
i was shocked to see a Netflix app in the estore. And Hulu Plus is coming soon too? I definitely want to download that NES Punch-Out! game. - Derrick
I'm going to keep my 3DS clean this time. There seems to be frequent updates. - Rodfather
Ben surprised me with a 3DS for Christmas so that I could play the latest Professor Layton. I've been enjoying the 3DS a lot more than I thought I would (I mean, they looked awesome but I was worried it would trigger headaches for me but the 3D slider is pretty sweet). - joey
I think it's cool that it sends updates while in sleep mode. I enjoy those 3D videos that show up. I've been checking for notifications for news every morning hah. - Rodfather
I've been tempted to try to hang out somewhere public just to see if StreetPass kicks in. http://nintendo.wikia.com/wiki.... It's cool that a step tracker is built in. Sort of like a really huge Fitbit that plays games. - Rodfather
Kind of funny there's a subreddit for StreetPass meetups http://www.reddit.com/r... - Rodfather
haha, I've been lurking around reddit's 3ds page. - Derrick
This is so cute. - bevedog
Is it time to go home and play now? *rocks back and forth* - Derrick
Friend code: 0232-8243-4838 - Derrick
I'm loving this thread. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
Mine is 4184-1275-4714 - ronin
Got it, thanks, ro. - Derrick
Is it just me or does the Netflix app not work? - ronin
I watched maybe 30 seconds of The Hunger Games out of curiosity but how good could it look on a 4 inch screen? - Derrick
You totally wouldn't be able to appreciate Lenny Kravitz. - Jason P
haha. - Derrick

My homemade "trail mix" for my road trip: M&Ms, mixed nuts, and pretzel Goldfish. Yup.
Finishing that tonight. :) - The LB: #TeamMonique
I'd nom on that. - Derrick
Very tasty and filling! - The LB: #TeamMonique
Mine is m&ms, peanuts and raisins. I'll have to try yours next time. - Betsy #TeamMonique from FFHound(roid)!
I'm not a huge raisin fan, but I think Craisins might be a nice touch. :) - The LB: #TeamMonique
I might add pb or butterscotch chips. Hrm. - Derrick
The dark M&Ms would be good.... *ponders* - The LB: #TeamMonique

Ready For Love | Other Shows | TV Club | TV | The A.V. Club - http://www.avclub.com/article...
"Ready For Love is a catastrophe of a television show, a desperate attempt to cheaply create drama out of the sad, pathetic lives of women who seem to believe that they can find true love on a television show. It arises fully formed out of the idea that the problem with single women is that they are flawed--so the show is constructed of people who tell the women exactly what is wrong with them, over and over again, as they struggle to impress a monomaniacal narcissist who is only interested in advancing his tepid musical career. " - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet
"Unfortunately, Tim appears to have agreed to this television show in an attempt to kickstart his flagging music career, and in several scenes, he can't even muster up the energy to pretend to care about the contest occurring around him." - Andrew C (✓)
The structure of the show is Byzantine at best; the upshot is that in each episode, the women are trotted out in front of a live audience, publicly excoriated for doing things wrong in front of the ever-important male of the species, and then sent away to be systematically eliminated. If you are thinking to yourself that this sounds like some serious Hunger Games garbage, it's because... more... - Andrew C (✓)
Sounds kind of like this show I used to watch called Tough Love - Shevonne from iPhone
I don't watch much tv and when I do it's never in real time and days or week's later, but do people...like this kind of stuff? Hrm. - Derrick
Not a lot of people, but it was NBC, so even ratings that would be low for anyone else aren't catastrophic. - Andrew C (✓)

A North Carolina Pie That Elicits An 'Oh My God' Response : NPR
"Atlantic Beach Pie has a filling similar to those in key lime and lemon meringue pies, but Workman says the crust is what makes it special. "It's this dense, crispy, thick, salty saltine crust, which is such an amazing balance to the tanginess and sweetness of the inside," she says." - Kristin from Bookmarklet
"The appeal is in the pie's simplicity. Smith jokes that it takes all of four seconds to make. In reality, it's just 18 minutes to bake the crust and 16 minutes to cook the filling. "You don't have to wait for the crust to cool," he says. "The only thing that takes any time is it has to cool enough when you're done so you can cut it without making a mess. But it couldn't be faster." - Kristin
WHAT'S THIS. - holly #ravingfangirl
PIE. - Kristin
Okay, I'm interested. - Ha3rvey (on hiatus)
This has my attention. - Mary Carmen
This had my attention last night when they had the story on the air. I want to make this pie and the poppy seed cookies that they talked about a while back. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
