  • The show is awesome, but it's about 30% Twilight Zone, 20% Ghost in the Shell, and 50% incomprehensibly kinky fetish so esoteric that the censors didn't know that it ought to have been censored for TV release.

  • Ripley was right to not allow Kane back on the Nostromo.

  • But that's not a convincing proof.

  • I'm not sure Lexx is crack. Maybe ecstasy or something like that. One of the uncomfortably touchy-feely party drugs where you worry that the person on it is going to start tonguing your elbow, and you really just need some personal space.

  • He's a beautiful kitty, and was adopted from a shelter along with his brother, so I'm not sure what if any pedigree he has.

  • "The abyss hungers!"

    "Yeah, yeah, yeah! The infinite yawning abyss of darkness which lies within the soul of every living being and seeks to extinguish all that is good so that it can finally be perfectly alone in the endless silent void. We've all seen it, or will eventually. I'm late for my brunch."

  • It would be needlessly expensive, but...

  • I'd say I have a fairly medium-grade routine.

    I hand grind whole beans. Not even super-special premium beans, most likely just the huge bag of Kirkland whole beans. Maybe not even ground same-day, quite possibly ground and then put into a ball jar ahead of time. They are hand-ground, though, with a grinder that is adjusted to a high level of coarseness.

    The grounds are measured into a French press. I use a digital kitchen scale so that it's always the same amount. I use a kettle to get the water to 200F. Pour over the grounds until they're soaked. Slosh them around a bit for thirty seconds. Pour in the rest of the water up to the fill line on the French press. Set a timer for four minutes. Press down the plunger and pour into a mug, plus a glass bottle for the excess. That's it. Yes, it's particular, but I am pretty sure it's not an ultra-premium process. I've had better coffee in a decent hotel. The main thing is exactly measuring what I'm doing, so I get consistent results.

    I had my mom and sister over and they complimented my coffee. I didn't make a big deal about it and thanked them.

    The next morning, my sister is up before me. I come out to the dining room and she's pouring coffee from the press. Suddenly she goes "Oooh! This coffee is strong! Too strong! I'll have to water it down!"

    I ask, "Well how much grounds did you use?"

    "Oh, I don't know, I just eyeballed it."

    "How long did you let it brew?"

    "Oh, I don't know. It's been a while. It's still in the press."

    Well, yes, that would possibly result in an unpredictable result. This is why I have a hard time vacationing with my family.

  • What a terrible day to have eyes.

  • The description I've heard is "front of the class minds with back of the class attitudes." It worked for Obama, it worked for Clinton, and if we don't recognize that it's a winning combination we're going to continue to get fucked in the general elections.
