Very cool! Glad you two had brunchy fun. Brunch is mah favourite. Me: mah skillet started flaking, so I re-seasoned it. I scoured it first, of course. I then set the oven for 500 degrees Fahrenheit, and wiped excess first, so this time there is no stickiness, but now my apartment smells like burnt chemicals. I'm actually not sure that was the flaxseed oil, but maybe the cookie tray? Anyway, since I only did the inside of the pan, I'll do it without the cookie tray next time. But I still consider it a success. And then -- because I have something sinusoidal going on again (nose won't stop running), I had canned chicken soup. So my perfectly seasoned pan sits there, remaining perfect and untouched, which is fine by me.

@self I just can't take it any more.

RIP Dave Brubeck 2016 needs to fucking end itself

Biosphere, Substrata (with bonus album)

I didn't think hardly anyone implemented PCM DACs that way anymore. Has there been a resurgence?

Condolences and eventual cheers.

Priorities: check!

I would feel zero remorse over that alternative activity.

Surely an ebony finger extension would be more appropriate? I don't think I adequately responded, but I can think of no adequate words, other than good on you for taking it so calmly, good on you for keeping it together when you needed to get to the hospital, and I continue to wish for the most positive of prognosisses...prognoses.

He's been banned, don't respond to him further, please.

Do I have to? Can't you just go away on your own? Why would someone who isn't wanted somewhere keep coming back?

Good god, man.

From HDTracks, a couple things, but especially: Philip Glass, Glassworks (specially mixed for your personal cassette player -- does anyone know what this means?) Alison Moyet, Alf and Hoodoo Jeremy Bible, Music for Black Holes (4 hours of damnbient) Steve Moore, The Mind's Eye soundtrack The Isley Brothers, Between the Sheets

I know, right? Take that, 2016! nlm mln

...and starts selling cheap rice.

I'm glad that things are turning out so positive. When I sliced my finger open (not off, as in your case), the doctor prescribed me this: go to Giant, get the cheapest bag of rice you can get, put it in a container, then dig around in it like you're trying to find something. I ended up falling in love with the smell of that brown rice. I still love brown rice to this day.

Yeezh. So sorry that happened, Steve.

The Dears, No Cities Left -- what a great album

This.

Fine by me! Although it's probably too complicated for a simple ol' bachelor like me to follow. Indeed, and not just a flash in the pan! (fnar fnar)

Indeed.

Luck, but you don't need it, you'll be fine! Cheers and bon voyage.

Lollers. "Just the tip?"

Teriyaki beef tips -- I cut the cooking times in half (because all of mine were coming out well done with a burnt crust since that first one a couple weeks ago), and it came out perfect.
