Being in this house for the weekend makes me wish I lived in a mansion with 7 other people, in regular life.
Like Big Brother's house? - imabonehead
The Real World: Mountain View - Andrew C
Like the Real World, minus the arguing and cameras and drama. - niniane
8 adults in a house for a weekend can be drama-free. But living there together indefinitely... Colour me doubtful. - Andrew C
Alice and I've talked abt building a villa with friends--multiple bldgs w/private space and other bldg w/shared dining/kitchen/TV. - Daniel Dulitz
Speaking of which... on The Real World, do those houses have TVs? - Andrew C
Maybe they just have mirrors, it's practically the same thing for them, right? - Jim Norris
I am with Andrew, the only way to keep a house drama-free is to keep it humans-free. - ana via Android
i thought that was the opposite of liberty - http://niniane.blogspot.com/2009...
freedom's just another word for no girls - Jim Norris
so how can death be the opposite of girls AND no girls.... - niniane
Sounds like someone needs some no tea. - Andrew C
i'm the wrong person to ask, you tell me - Jim Norris
Wow, I wonder why Palin resigned.
Opportunity knocks? - τorƍue
She got an offer she can't refuse? - imabonehead
Because it's hard to be a national political figure when you keep making bad decisions as governor? - Daniel Dulitz
She finally had an attack of good judgment. :) - April Buchheit
Daniel - she's a Republican governor. Bad decisions never stopped Schwarzenegger nor Bush... - Andrew C

Have you noticed with fine dining, all categories end up the same: french, contemporary american, california fresh, italian. AllTasteSame
@niniane happy birthday - Prolific Programmer via IM
Really? Hmm ... better chefs need to be found! - Kalidor
I disagree. I can taste the difference between the former Cafe-5 Confit du Canard and a good restaurant in Paris. (Cafe-5 was better --- ah, I miss that Cafe!) - Piaw Na
Well, on one hand, every top restaurant in a given area works with a similar set of ingredients. I think that necessarily imposes some similarities. (That said, "contemporary American" and "California fresh" aren't the same thing? How do they differ?) And then, contemporary American cooking has in itself roots in traditional European cooking: until maybe the 1980s (?), all of the most renowned restaurant chefs in the country came from overseas. - Andrew C

"I ate the "Fried Chicken of Your Dreams" (actual menu name) here. It was very moist. The sweet gems salad was also good, as was the squash soup with little flowers sprinkled inside. The prices…" - niniane
Today I learned yuppies are the snobby ppl in Orange County who drive expensive cars. Feel bad that I self-identified as yuppie for years.
The snobby, expensive-car OC-type people also go to Starbucks and wear fashionable clothes... (not sure about cleanliness of houses. {shrug}) ( ref http://friendfeed.com/niniane... ) - Andrew C
The term "yuppie" isn't limited by geography. Just so you know :P - LANjackal
I thought yuppies are friendly happy people who like Starbucks and dress fashionably, and like clean houses.

This article is so poignant. I wish his doctors had not taken him off the Nardil. The last page was very tragic to read. - niniane via Bookmarklet
The New Yorker had a really excellent (and painful at times) article about DFW a few months ago. If you have someone in your life that suffers from depression, parts of DFWs struggles really hit home. http://www.newyorker.com/reporti... - Jennie Lin
Happy day! - Ⓙⓘⓜ
happy birthday! - imabonehead
Happy birthday! - Piaw Na
Happy birthday - you're Officially Old! =) (FWIW, it's not as bad as I feared when I turned 30.) - Andrew C
Happy belated birthday Niniane. - Clare Dibble
happy birthday - j1m

Happy birthday!!! - Rachel Lea Fox
Happy Birthday! - Anne Bouey

"The lettuce wrap was really interesting. Unagi, salmon, and hamachi in a lettuce leaf, with mayo and eel sauce. Really delightful. We also had the "hot love" roll (spicy sauce on a crab and lobster…" - niniane

http://twitpic.com/8lfvb - gift from my brother! Now he is taking me to afternoon tea at the Ritz Carlton
I love the SF Ritz --especially their dining room. :) Congratulations whatever you are celebrating! :) - Mona Nomura
yes, angrykeyboarder(tm), my brother is the best brother ever - niniane
SF Ritz was very pretty but way more expensive than I expected for afternoon tea. I don't plan to go there again. Lovejoy's is much cheaper, as well as Tea Time in Palo Alto, and Chado in Pasadena, and every other afternoon tea place. - niniane
Have you been to Lisa's Tea Treasures in Menlo Park? That's my favorite place ever for tea (well, that and afternoon tea in the Garden Court in Sheraton Palace Hotel in SF). - April Buchheit
I've been to Lisa's Tea Treasures. It's pretty good. Have not been to Sheraton! I think actually Tea Time & Chado are my favorites -- economical and good sandwiches. - niniane
hope you and the bro don't have a Commodus/Lucilla ~ Angelina Jolie/James Haven Voight kind of thing going....:-) - Morgan Haley
Morgan Haley, why do you gotta be a hater? It was my birthday, and my brother was being nice to me. - niniane
happy birthday! - Andrew C
Hilarious article Andrew :D - Jérôme Flipo

I miss 24th St, which I guess makes me a yuppie. Sad that Herb's Fine Foods (which used to occupy Toast's space) closed down, though -- there's no room for an all-American diner in yuppiedom :) - Tudor Bosman
Tudor, I thought hipsters ("tomorrow's yuppies") loved diners. - Andrew C
In health-conscious San Francisco? Fried food is only okay if it's served in fancy restaurants that call it "sauteed". - Tudor Bosman via email
This photo looked better on the phone than on the computer. I should've put up a different one :( - niniane
This one looks nice already! - Andrew C
@weitu Natalie Portman was at Google??? Pic or it didn't happen! Why didn't you tell me?? Also I hear No-Name is getting Red Mango
It happened -- see Meng's FF. She's wearing a noogler beanie. :-) - Daniel Dulitz
Awesome Chris, crazy clip! - Jérôme Flipo
There's a froyo machine outside No Name now :) - Jennie Lin
show him the hand, jenny - http://niniane.blogspot.com/2009...
that was a parody of @itsjohncampbell, in case you could not tell. he has one of the funniest twitter streams in the world
ate too many sunflower seeds this week, questioning if this is "what [i] really want from life"
Yes, yes, you do - Prolific Programmer via IM
Sanford's wife: 'His career is not a concern of mine' - CNN.com - http://edition.cnn.com/2009...
Awesome, finally a woman who is not standing by her philandering man. You go, Jenny Sanford! - niniane via Bookmarklet
Is it unhealthy if I eat half a pound of sunflower seeds every day?
I love snacking sunflower seeds too :) Sunflower seeds aren't themselves bad. As an Asian woman, you probably handle sodium well but watch out for too much of it (some brands of seeds have a lot of salt...) - Jennie Lin
I can't stop eating them! This brand does have a lot of salt. I've been eating half a pound per day for the week. Now I am retaining water and feel like a beached whale. - niniane
What happens if I eat too much sodium? Does it raise my cholesterol or something? - niniane
What fraction is that, by weight, of your total food intake? - Andrew C
sigh, I am indeed bloated like that Yahoo Answers page warned. Ok I moved the sunflower seeds to another room. hopefully that will stop me. - niniane
Too much of something is not a good thing. Moderation is key. - imabonehead
Ok, well, I guess I am the bone head in this case. - niniane
Pa. mother charged with changing daughter's grades - Yahoo! News - http://news.yahoo.com/s...
"Scores provided directly by the College Board showed a cumulative score of 1370, while an unknown source had previously entered 1730," ----- The max SAT score is 1600. - niniane via Bookmarklet
The limit is 2400 now ... they added a section. :( - Alex Power
Oh Niniane, we're so old. - Kevin Fox
She only got 1370 out of 2400??? Wow. - niniane
re: Kevin. :) - niniane
if you're old I'm ancient. - Piaw Na
BTW, gold star to the first respondent in this thread who no longer recalls their SAT score. =) - Andrew C
"...who no longer recalls their SAT score." Yeah, I have no clue. I passed, nothing amazing, but nothing to be ashamed of either. That is all I remember. - Ragani Harris
Gold star! - Andrew C
I recall mine, and my GRE. No gold star for me. - Kevin Fox
I'm so surprised the daughter's name is Brittany. - Matthew DeVries
Still remember mine, too. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Michigan used the ACT. On both it and the GRE, I perfected a section, while scoring where a standard ficus would score on another, resulting in an average percentile score. On the ACT I perfected the Science section (36) while getting an 11 in Math. On the GRE I only got 1 wrong on the analytical section, while scoring lower than random guessing on one of the other 2 sections (not reading). - Matthew DeVries
@azizansari Was it really you who commented on my blog post raving about your show (https://www.blogger.com/comment...)? Or a troll? People need to know
Disappointed that pandora.com Music Genome Project is just a hired person tagging each song, not any algorithmic analysis. Misleading name!

"The maui wowee burger is possibly the best burger I've ever eaten. The sweet potato fries are also excellent. It's pricey though ($17 for burger, fries, coffee + tax & tip)." - niniane
@joshu I guess twitter was better than aardvark for answering that question.
@lg How is the coffee vs red bull experiment progressing? Don't you have enough youthful energy naturally, without caffeine drinks?
