"The first bite was a satisfying mouthful. The bun, while not superior, was a serviceable commercial choice that had the sponginess that contained the burger. It also had a little grilling on it to add that extra layer of texture. The cheese was melted beautifully so as to provide smoothness without turning into a fondue. The onions were near perfection, as they had been grilled just into caramelization without losing their pleasing bite." - Derrick from Bookmarklet

Uh-oh, Flickchart reloaded the matchup when I opened the browser this morning. OH WELL. And everyone, I'm not denying the awesomeness of the Matrix in defending Run Lola Run. Both films are in my top twenty (out of over 1400). - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

"The MTV Awards did not go well for Kanye West, as the world now knows. But even before he hijacked the mike from Taylor Swift, things were heading south. First, apparently all his evening wear was still at the cleaners. Second, he thought the event was BYOB and had nowhere to hide the Jack Daniels. Third, his date was dressed as a snake." - tiffany from Bookmarklet

Does anybody think Kanye West is anything other than an anal orifice? - Gordon Herd

"Back in February, we reported that Disney wants to release a new hand-drawn animated movie every two years. The Princess and the Frog is already out in theaters, with an 85% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and is set to expand nationwide this weekend. But what's next for Disney? We've heard rumblings of other projects in the works and, of course, the new Winnie the Pooh movie will be hand-drawn, but is there more? Brendon Connelly from SlashFilm got a small update on another new hand-drawn Disney project called The Snow Queen. It's apparently an old project that fell apart a few years back and has been dusted off again recently." - Derrick from Bookmarklet

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY! (The Snow Queen is my all-time favorite fairy tale! I'm interested in how they'll tackle it.) - Jennifer Dittrich

The Snow Queen works for the Adversary - RAPatton from iPhone

Go Brandon! - Derrick

yes brandon is dope. i don't think i was half as cool at his age. - tiffany

"Recipe for “Butter Milk” in Chinese courtesy of Flower Grass Garden. Ingredients: 1/2 cup of non-fat powered milk 1/3 cup of granulated sugar, dial down for less sugary result. 1/3 cup of salted butter 1/2 egg yolk 2 slices of 1″-thick brick toast. Margarine is actually a better substitute than butter as it melts much quicker into the bread, but a true carb whore will always drop her panties faster upon the smell of real butter. Here comes the tough part: don’t use regular bread and don’t even think about doubling up Wonder Bread. I use dense toast found at Asian bakeries, may it be Japanese/Chinese or otherwise. The last time around, the source of brick toast was Domie’s Bakery in Rosemead. The cashier girl, knowing the ultimate purpose for said loaf, smiled wide & deftly sliced the 6″ loaf of bread into fours, resulting in slices that are 1.5″ thick. This is good. Girls like it thick, so they tell me." - edythe from Bookmarklet

aw, minimage. are you sure your eggs are bad? i think they're actually good from 3-5 weeks after the sell by date. - edythe

"Starting next year, DC Comics will unveil SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE and BATMAN: EARTH ONE, two graphic novels spotlighting the most powerful heroes of the DC Universe, with their first years and earliest moments retold in a standalone, original graphic novel format, on a new earth with an all-new continuity." - Bill Sodeman from Bookmarklet

Although, how many times can you re-tell an origin story? My goodness. It seems, however, that with both Clark and Bruce not currently playing the leads (or in general continuity) in their signature books right now, this is a decent way to keep them around. - Jason Toney

Looks like the Earth One publication schedule is 2 graphic novels per character per year. It's a European model, as discussed at http://www.comicbookresources.com/... - Bill Sodeman

"When you look at the death statistics for breast cancer in African-American women and compare them to white women, it's stunning. Beginning in their 20s, into their 50s, black women are twice as likely to die of breast cancer as white women who have breast cancer. In older black women, cases of breast cancer decline, but the high death rates persist. Overall, breast cancer deaths have been declining for nearly a decade (by 2 percent annually), yet deaths of African-American women have been dropping at a much slower pace. In 2009, an estimated 40,170 women will die from breast cancer. Nearly 6,000 will be African-American women." - Derrick from Bookmarklet

Certainly we have a lot of work to do with making access to care more equitable, but the data so far with triple-negative breast cancer does seem to point to still-undetermined genetic factors contributing as well. - Victor Ganata

I love love love this song. - Jason Toney

I'm pretty sure this is the one I remember blowing me away at Lollapalooza (I hadn't heard the album before that, so it's hard for me to be sure). - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

I think we're going to have to go on a tour of "sweets" the next time I'm in your hood. - Jason Toney

We can do Sublime and Morelli's, plus cupcakes from Caryn's (my favorite) and brownies or the s'mores cupcakes from Star Provisions. Downtown Decatur also got a yogurt bar earlier this year. In other words, I'm down :-) - tiffany

Del's first album is an all-time fave. I haven't listened to it straight through in years, but I'm glad I did today. - Derrick

I love that album. Get your lazy butt off my couch. - Jason Toney

The stark contrast by Cube and the Sir Jinx production is on point. - Derrick

"Arguably one of the nicest MCs that ever graced a mic Black Thought has constantly been a purveyor of advanced lyricism over banging beats. In 2001, The Roots-frontman was scheduled to release his highly anticipated solo album Masterpiece Theatre. However, due to label quarrels the project has never hit the shelves, thus causing major discontent among his loyal fans. Consequently, most of the recorded songs appeared on The Roots’ Phrenology album. Fortunately though, some of the unreleased joints have gradually found their way to the internet now – Mona Lisa being the latest. Check it out." - Derrick from Bookmarklet

I love Black Thought - DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE

tomorrow! tomorrow! tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Anna Lynn M. from Bookmarklet

Heh. ;) - Derrick

"When Lego Galactus comes to consume our plastic planet, who will heed the call to defeat him? How does the minifig Green Lantern Corps wear rings without separate fingers? Ulises Farinas illustrates superhero scenes in the Lego world. Farinas is the artist behind ACT-I-VATE webcomic MOTRO, and he has recently taken to drawing Marvel and DC battles packed with superpowered Lego minifigs." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

"At a glance, the far corner of the main floor of J&R Music looks familiar to anybody old enough to have scratched a record by accident. There are cardboard boxes filled with albums by the likes of Miles Davis and the Beach Boys that could be stacked in any musty attic in America. But this is no music morgue; it is more like a life-support unit for an entertainment medium that has managed to avoid extinction, despite numerous predictions to the contrary. The bins above the boxes hold new records — freshly pressed albums of classic rock as well as vinyl versions of the latest releases from hip-hop icons like 50 Cent and Diddy and new pop stars like Norah Jones and Lady Gaga." - Michelle Jones from Bookmarklet

Ok! we have 3 copies!!! 3!!! They ordered them in August. This makes me wonder how out of touch our colldev librarian is...then again..this is the library where is seems that NO ONE liked or read 'The Lovely Bones" except for me..and I'm only here on Sundays. @junebug - ha ha...:) - Anna Lynn M.

ooh, stand-up mixer. that's hard core. - Marie is merry.

They are made in Ohio and you can go take classes at the factory - RAPatton from iPhone

"If the world suddenly flooded with gravy, the buttermilk biscuits at Pine State would make handy lifeboats. While you can order them smothered with diet-wrecking sausage gravy, these light mounds of flour and butter are also sturdy enough to bookend the Reggie Deluxe, a four-layered beast of a sandwich stacked with fried chicken, a fried egg, cheddar, bacon, and gravy. It’s one of five biscuit sandwiches that earned Pine State Biscuits its reputation back when it was merely a rickety booth at the Portland Farmers Market at Portland State University. Yet Pine State’s got plenty more methods of biscuit delivery. Smear them with homemade pimiento cheese, or even gobble them up—gasp!—plain. But it’s a test of biblical proportions to resist the scent of the sublimely creamy sausage or shiitake-mushroom gravy bubbling away on the stove." - Derrick from Bookmarklet

If we left the fried chicken out, I'd be game. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

"Jarobi White (born 1971) is an American hip hop artist, and one of the four original members of A Tribe Called Quest. ... He left the group in 1991 to attend culinary school. He continues to produce songs with former bandmates Phife Dawg and DJ Rasta Root. ... He is currently the kitchen and front of house manager at the Flying Biscuit Cafe in Norcross, Georgia." - tiffany from Bookmarklet

it still has hints of dyke-tasticness. but i'm sure it isn't as it was. - tiffany
