I really hope both Heart and Joan Jett get into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.
Who would suggest Joan Jett *not* be voted in? The riff from “I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll” is the first thing I wanted to play when I got an electric guitar.

No Tumblrbot. I take issue with your advice. When “Real Housewives” is playing in other parts of the house, I nestle here for succor and protection.

On capital punishment...
We don’t. Canada officially abolished it in 1976, though in reality it was 1962 when the last person was hanged.
What amazes me is that it remains on the books in a society as litigious as America. With the expense of appeals and the sheer weight of “reasonable doubt”, one wonders how it’s stood this long. Are innocent people convicted? Of course. Is the justice system...
Tired in ways you couldn’t possibly understand.

But it was through her that I was introduced to so many wonderful personalities, people who posted honest slices of their existence. People who are now a big part of my life.

Just what kind of “vegetables” were in them potstickers Ted?
-The spooky kind. I’m guessing napa cabbage and lots of five-spice powder. You must remember Wok with Yan? (I’m talking the Canadian version, the guy with the silly aprons.) He always used to add a dash of “wonder...
I didn’t know it was possible to eat too many vegetable-stuffed potsticker dumplings. I’m not entirely sure that I attained critical potsticker saturation, but it must have been close.
Also, you people are all so dang attractive. I’m sure you realize this.
No, I haven’t been drinking.

ouch! we never charge our clients for notarization, but we’re only accountants.
-Yeah. My lawyer probably would have done it for free but she’s an hour’s drive. Seems like nice work if you can get it though!

I don’t know when I got into this habit, but I tend to watch Food network cooking shows while I eat my lunch. Today Jamie Oliver has been teaching me how to make a quick, cheap and healthy dinner for two, suitable for busy weekday evenings. Simple? Sure. Fast? Well, he did seem to get it done in half an hour. Cheap? By my reckoning the ingredients cost about $65. What segment of the...
