OK, So At Least It's Not One More Book To Add To The List....Kinda...

(From ew.com)
Humorist David Sedaris is famous for his reading tours, where he likes to test and hone his pieces, and engage in banter and back-and-forth with his audiences. EW has learned that Hachette Audio will release a new Sedaris audiobook on Nov. 24. Live for Your Listening Pleasure—consisting of recordings culled from his recent American tour—will have no hardcover or paperback counterpart.”This was planned as an audio initiative,” says a Hachette spokeswoman. “It’s patterned after Live At Carnegie Hall”—a popular 2002 recording—”and though we first thought it would be a single event, he preferred to cobble together highlights form the entire tour.” You can hear an exclusive clip here:Exclusive: Clip from new David Sedaris audiobook

Ok, So I Have No Idea What She's Trying To Say With This One....

...but it's a pretty cool video. And the song is...well, who am I kidding, I'll be on the elliptical to this one.

And yes, Taffy owns the polar bear coat....

Ok so...Real Ginger...Oh Snap!


    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
    2. Sift the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt into a mixing bowl. Stir the mixture to blend evenly, and sift a second time into another bowl.
    3. Place the shortening into a mixing bowl and beat until creamy. Gradually beat in the white sugar. Beat in the egg, and dark molasses. Sift 1/3 of the flour mixture into the shortening mixture; stir to thoroughly blend. Sift in the remaining flour mixture, and mix together until a soft dough forms. Pinch off small amounts of dough and roll into 1 inch diameter balls between your hands. Roll each ball in cinnamon sugar, and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
    4. Bake in preheated oven until the tops are rounded and slightly cracked, about 10 minutes. Cool cookies on a wire rack.


    2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup shortening
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup dark molasses
  • 1/3 cup cinnamon sugar


OK, So NO Marley And Me In This One...

So, started this book last night Dog Days: Dispatches From Bedlam Farm- and I really love it. I appreciate the fact that on the very first page of the book, Katz writes, "No dogs die in this book." Whew! However, the story of an old donkey being put down after having a stroke may have caused a few tears.

Dead donkeys aside, Taffy, you will be given this book to read, if I think it's going to continue on the way it is. It feels very "my hometown is a village" to me. (Don't worry if you don't know what that means, listeners, she does.)

Is anyone else reading this book? Or any books by Jon Katz (which I think is funny considering he writes books about dogs.)

Ok, So Challenge Accepted...Even Though Taffy Didn't Really Challenge Me....

Ok so...Macro- Perfection

Ok, So This One Sums It All Up....

The look on Babaloo's face kills me.

Ok, So Done!!!

Just finished it about 10 minutes ago. My thoughts about the book will be talked about on the next episode of PiMC...if I remember to mention them. I've decided the next book in my list will be:
..because, you know at some point a dog's going to die in it and I'll be fetal laying on the floor sobbing like a lunatic.

Ok, Sorry Ricky, But This Is Some Funny Shit....and


Do yourself a favor and read the titles of the songs she sings in the show. And, Ricky, for the record, her first album is one of my all time favorite CDs.

Ok, So It's Back...

...and working really well - the extra memory does seem to have sped things up! Could we ACTUALLY tape an episode tonight? Is that possible?

Ok so...Why does "Virtual Porthome" remind me of Rodan?

In the next generation of Disney Cruise Line ships, the windowless inside cabin may be the ones kids beg their parents to book. In a boon to budget travelers, the cheapest, least desirable cruise stateroom category will be getting a major sexing up in January of 2011, when the Disney Dream, now under construction, is christened.

All inside cabins on the new
Dream will be equipped with an oh-so-Disney innovation: the "virtual porthole." Above the bed, a round TV window will be embedded in the wall, made to look like an old-fashioned ship's porthole. Through it, the tenants in the modern equivalent of steerage will be able to watch live, streaming high-def images of the ocean outside, just as the guests in more expensive cabins see it for real.

Ok so...I have two too...Taylor and Rodan!

Ok, So Fucking Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck

So, in a weird turn of events, my Mac crashed two days after Taffy's did. Almost the exact same issue. Luckily, we both have AppleCare and our issues were fixed for free. I reloaded my computer's info with Time Machine, and, unlike Taffy, I seemed to be having no problems with the files and programs.

Seemed.

See, when I went to listen to the video Taffy posted below about the dog, I only got about fifteen seconds into it. Not because of the content, but because the sound was...off. Further investigations showed that I do not have sound coming out of my right speaker. Further investigation into THAT shows that there is nothing Apple Care can do from their help desk, and I have to take it BACK to the store that fucked it up so that they can fix it.

So, I will almost definitely be told that they will get to it as soon as they can (read: Monday) and that I will be computer-less this weekend. So, this is a pre-emptive announcement that we will be going another week with no show for you guys. I hope I'm wrong.
