I really think he missed an opportunity to call it CloudMine. I'm going to start a competing computer company (to all of Microsoft Windowses, Apple, and linux), and I'm going to name all the apps ___Mine. In fact, fuck the operating system, I'm just going to start calling everything mine. My cats are no longer cats, they are FelinesMine. Real estate is LandMine. Car? TransportMine. Stereo? MusicMine. Wife? ConcubineMine.

The Wharfedales are definitely worth a shot -- I've heard good things about them, though no experience myself.

Earlier was listening to Rewiring Genesis: A Tribute to The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway -- some very interesting choices here, despite being mostly a very faithful re-recording/cover version of the entire album. Then Within Temptation, The Unforgiving -- my favorite track is definitely "Iron", although I really like several of the tracks that follow it. I think "Stairway to the Skies" & "Sinéad" might be vying for second place.

my grandmother used to try a completely different approach to home remedies -- she would basically put the system into overdrive, which sort of forced the body to work itself out. For example, if you had too much acid in your stomach, she would feed you a grapefruit, forcing the stomach to stop generating acid. Anyway, just sayin' -- if the milk doesn't help. And: sympathies.

Layer Cake Malbec -- despite it's non-earthiness (which I have come to crave), it is one of the better "jammy" malbecs

Here's to hoping she sees a good one -- there's some crap out there right now. Or at least she enjoys it, don't tell her I said said that if she enjoyed the movie. And nice of you to babysit. I know, I know, you love spending time with your kids -- I'm sure your wife still appreciates it.

Don't know if anyone's posted it, but yeah, I saw that one. If I was made of money, I'd buy that whole series: ...well, alright, maybe not the whole series, maybe just the low contrast parts. For those who like more contrast, there are a couple others: I am, however, drooling over a couple others I've seen lately:

Welcome to head-case, sorry about your thin skin (we haven't used that greeting in a while, thought I'd welcome someone who actually seems welcome by a few of the locals). And that's just the way we like it.

Familiar with that. My tolerance for pain has gone up, though -- when I was a kid, it would put me off from wearing watches at all, but now I'll wear practically anything.

Cyriak does a music video! 's'awsum.

It is my understanding that Zins go well with Chinese food -- worth trying, if nothing else. Even the cheesy names (7 Deadly Zins, etc.) are supposed to be pretty good. Me: Bashah Earlier: Gordon Biersch alt, and a sip of their Maibock, a couple glasses of wine with lunch.

I got nothing, but do please report on your results, I would most definitely follow suit.

I thought so too, and I'm me.

(nods, seeing the wisdom in this)

Well, technically, if it was a safe, most people could have figured that out. Yes, I know, not helping. Sorry.

Really? Is that a question? I think it's just a matter of whether or not the maybes turn into yesses or noeses. I, unfortunately, am heading in the 'no' direction. I blame Within Temptation.

I already did that, you freak, I was asking your opinion of it over other aerators, since I notice you didn't mention it in my aerator thread. And as much as I give you a hard time, I do value your opinion over just random googling strangers on the internet.

...?

Hey wow, how did you know that?

Props for having the prescience to know that I was going to want it.

Um...sure, why not?

Well, no, the next one might be an actual nice person. Always do the right thing. I know, you didn't mean it when you said what you said, but I just thought I'd say it out loud. Good on you for having already done so. That's a lesson I learned from Spike Lee.

You can actually see him resisting the urge to drop and roll. Or at least, that's what I'm seeing in my head.
