Yeah, I think they were the same physical size as a long play record. Just a little too early on the technology curve since they didn't have a good data density. I think Video CDs were worse though, 45 minutes of medium quality (as in looked only OK on a SDTV) video per disc.

I'm not sure LaserDisc really fits, it was more ahead of it's time than an alternative to DVD. HD-DVD and Bluray is probably more apt.

Now you're just teasing the poor guy.

Hmmm............. I don't always drink coffee, but when I do I use a French Press. Stay thirsty my friends. Yeah, the press is kinda tough to clean up, but it was <$15 at IKEA. For cleaning up, this seems to work best: take a paper towel, put it in the sink. Add a little water to the spent grounds, swirl it around, and dump them into the paper towel.

I'm not sure why people worry about lines for this team, you know Lindy has one of those toy slot machines behind the bench with pictures of LW, C, and RW on dials.

You have an odd way of saying you like trades, then. You give the impression that you're really upset about it.

I propose that we never adopt the 'CoHo' moniker I saw on posted link, that's stupid. Maybe CoHo gets subbed to Hodgenstein like Pominville.

Yesterday, baked pesto salmon and chipotle mashed sweet potatoes for lunch. Tonight panko crusted salmon and something for a side.

I eat Necco wafers by choice, so you'll get no judgement from me.

Victory Yakima Glory, watching hockey. Mmmmm.

Towards the end they're talking to her and she claims they are. They don't *act* fake from what I can tell, but who knows.

Oh come on, Steven could be an extra or something.

Unless they're Bruins prospects. https://signup.netfl...=1&rdirfdc=true Not showing up on my streaming account yet, but it's not quite Friday yet either. There's hope.

I just realized Monday is a work-from-home day and the trade deadline, but since I don't have cable I can't just throw on NHL Network and monitor everything. :censored:

This is going to sound like snobbery, but what is good is rarely popular and what is popular is rarely good. Try different things than the people around you; sometimes it'll go well, sometimes it won't, but at least you'll get to know what you like. This goes for many more things than alcohol. Rusty nail. Great cocktail. Also, if you're in a decent bar (which may be a non-intersecting set with college bars), ask the bartender for a recommendation. Sometimes you'll get something amazing.

It was either motorcycle, bicycle, or volleyball. I guess I should have said it wasn't wedding tackle related activity. But that's another complaint altogether. :)

Once you get past entry-level PC support, it's a pretty good gig. Depending on your environment, the off-hours work can suck but probably a lot better than the hours for your current job. The only problem I run into are people working in IT that seem to hate doing IT work. Similar to Engineering, you tend to get a lot of people that see it as a lucrative career regardless of whether they're good at it or like doing it (not saying this is you AT ALL, just making a general observation). I wonder if doctors and lawyers experience the same thing? Complaint: tweaked something in the 'wedding tackle' yesterday, and I'm really uncomfortable today. I wasn't doing anything fun, even.

Speaking of which, I read an excerpt of Papillon in HS and finally read the book a couple years ago. Great action/adventure book. In theory it's autobiographical, although some dispute that Charriere borrowed some of the events from other prisoners. http://www.amazon.com/Papillon-P-S-Henri-Charriere/dp/0061120669/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1329941112&sr=8-2

Maybe you should try some historical fiction or alternative history. The first is fictional characters placed in fairly well researched historical situations, the second taking a single pivotal event in history and having it go the other way. Or just stick with non-fiction, there's no reason to force yourself to read something you're not really interested in.

Boobies SMASH! http://www.jokeroo.com/videos/cool/woman-smashing-things-with-breasts.html Haunting.

Speaking of police fiction, a friend was recently talking this up. He lent his copy to someone else, so I haven't had a chance to read it yet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Yiddish_Policemen%27s_Union

Once when I was 12 (late 80s), and once just as the movies were coming out (to refresh my memory). I've been thinking about reading them again, but I have so many other books lying around that there's not enough to repeat stuff.

Dude, it's seitan not tofu. Get it right! :) http://www.primalspiritfoods.com/products_flavor_details.php Teriyaki: SELL Thai Peanut: BUY Others: HOLD The trick is to not think of it as a competitor to beef jerky, but a snack on it's own.

Parts, but it's a bit too dry. I think I have both a physical copy and one on my Nook. I also have George Washington's rules of etiquette on there. A couple more now that I've been thinking about it: Silent Night (http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/silent-night-stanley-weintraub/), describing the Christmas truce on the Western Front in 1914. Fascinating read. Paradox of Choice (http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/paradox-of-choice-barry-schwartz/), looking at the correlation of happiness and the abundance of choices in Western society. This one is mostly self help for me, I'm really bad at making decisions. There's also a TED talk by the author:

They were pretty bad last night, at least I got to see it in person.
