New name, same girls!

That's a very cultural phenomenon. In college, it was 3 against 1 in the debate over whether to be a shoes-off household. 3 caucasians, 1 japanese. I remember sitting on her bed and my shoes brushed against her dust ruffle and she freaked out
ETA- this makes me think of how my mom measures how great a carpet is by how much dirt it hides, whereas others - focus on not getting it dirty in the first place
i understand where your japanese roommate was coming from.
I want to watch Gangster Squad! I LOOOOOOOVED Public Enemy. I really like throwback movies and period pieces. I like gangster movies
I also enjoy some superhero ones. I really liked The Amazing Superman. The Avengers. And the new Batman series reboot. The Watchmen was good too!
Of course the Ocean's series
For Sci-Fi, Super 8 kept me on my seat. Inception is AMAZING.
I can't think of anything else...my memory is lacking
Yes - I have bought sushi from a grocery store before. As long as I don't get sick, right? I love going to Midori, AYCE sushi out in the valley. High quality and delish! I am not a high roller and have yet to find a good place. I can't afford Akasaka in my hood because last time I went, the prices were sky high and I forgot what we ended up getting, but their regular stuff was so-so. I don't drive a fancy car like all the Mercedes parked in the lot I will give it a try again in the far future.
About the shoes - I agree. In college, I didn't care. I ain't going barefoot ANYWHERE. I love how you made the distinction between Chinese and Taiwanese

have you seen:
water for elephants with robert patterson & reese witherspoon
Magic Mike?
Sound of my voice (its pretty interesting, sort of an indie film about cults)

i hate long car rides. your whole body just gets cramped! plus, i dont think its a "scenic" drive.
they actually brought out more inventory...i guess theyre storing it and bringing out a bit at a time...
Anyways... You girls have been unusually talkative in here.
I've been ordered on bed rest, so I'll probably pop in more often to check up on you.

On another note, a sad day is upon us. I have used my last paper VS merchandise credit. I will miss them. They served me well. I had $700 in MCs. I didn't realize I had that much left.
January 27 is when the changes take place. First-class letter rate goes up to $0.46. Parcel Post will undergo a name change...Standard Post. Delivery Confirmation is no more. They are implementing USPS Tracking which will be free on Priority Mail and Standard Post. It can be purchased for First-Class Parcels and Media Mail. For those of you that purchased Del Con in the Post Office and are familiar with the green slips, there will not be a slip that you can keep. Your tracking number will be listed on your receipt. (It was actually always listed on the receipt.)
That is all I can recall from the conversation. He knew some other price changes too. Since the tracking will be free on Priority & Standard, I am guessing the price difference between the two may be a bit greater than it is now.
So funny, I was going to go that route too about historical influences. I was thinking here- living on the praire or during the Dustbowl- they didn't have a chance to avoid dirt and religious and spiritual sites that are not Eastern do not stress those things (that I know of). I hope you didn't think I was implying that everyone freaks out :com fort: , the roomy was the only one that did.
True about all those historical influences
The desserts looked pretty, but were really tasteless to me. Yes, we may eat with our eyes, but what I had really really had no flavor and just tasted like flour. I'm never going back
I'm glad you like it though! I think I'm just picky with my food.

I am also sad about these changes. I hope Tracking is free, or part of the postage for click-n-ship for First Class. I like those forever stamps! Those are good
I am just glad I had the paper MCs to lower my Visa payment because of course I like the merc I charged on there rather than my VS CC.
I doubt the tracking will free for First-Class parcels online, but it will probably be reduced. I purchased some many Forever stamps when they were initially intintroduced. I cannot believe I used almost all of them. I had no idea I mailed that much. I am going to buy more tomorrow.
And thank goodness DBF was there to hear the doctors words... Cause I had two days.
It's hard because I have flipping four doctor appointments a week!
And then DBF works 6 days a week, and close to 80 hours a week, and he takes me to the majority of the appointments, and then head to work a 12+ hour shift in a busy restaurant, and on his one day off, he does the laundry, vacuuming, tidying etc. so I feel bad when after a long day of work, he has to stop by and get McDs or something.
So I try to make something he can eat for two days, so I only have to cook/clean once, but it's so taxing, as I have two dogs too and one is a crazy intact puppy (getting fixed Monday, thank goodness!), and going to the docs alone...
But seriously? I think I'll get more rest once this baby is popped, because she's also been sitting on a nerve for months and I can't wait to get at least relief from that! lol
And then once baby is here, DBF is taking off to care for us both, and then my mom is taking off.
Ok, enough complaining. lol
Two more weeks though, and she'll be here! I have my induction appointment already, but hopefully she'll show up on her own!
Yes, once because my friends in SD raved about it. I was HIGHLY disappointed. Sit down food service was TERRIBLE. I am never going back and I will tell anyone who hasn't been about my bad experience. ex-dbf still left them a tip. I would've left them nothing. He believes in tipping very well, but that's over rated to me.

I am going to watch Ted with DBF this weekend! I love Seth MacFarlane! $700 in MC is nice! Glad you got to spend it on things you want more
hmm.. i thought it was not supposed to have service? we didnt tip since it seemed like self service. maybe it depends on the location you go to? the one we went to, basically you find your own table. if its full, you wait for a booth. there's no organization/line for seating tho.. so you have to eye and jump on it. then you sit down and people clean the table. pretty much all they do is bring you the food. theres no service more than that...
i was so surprised to see the bow panty at my vs. it was size large, but somehow ti fit anyway. i guess for thongs, its supposedly one size fits all? i usually wear a S in panties but the bow can be loose since we all know it ends up on the floor anyway!
I like Seth McFarlane too, but Ted was okay. I
