nerdgasms:
Alberto, is it me or has The Law been eating up a lot of your valuable blogging time lately? It must be crazy to have a job where you’re not procrastinating in front of a computer for huge portions of the day. Or even just many small portions of the day that are too small for anything else.
K,
Alas, yes. Working for the DA is like being a stripper: Sure, you meet interesting...
Lessons learned during Operation: Make French Toast:
There is such a thing as too much nutmeg and cinnamon. My French Toast now tastes like a pumpkin rolled through cinnamon fields.* Way to go for the subtlety and richness of spices, past-12minds.
* I suppose a cinnamon…fruit (tree? vegetable? animal? Where the hell does cinnamon come from anyway?) raised in the middle of a pumpkin patch...

I hate girl scout cookie season. There, I said it. The cookies are delicious, I’ll be the first to admit. But it’s such a shameful process from beginning to end. On the one hand, we have children peddling their wares on the streets and in front of grocery stores. And these wares being peddled? They’re the Devil’s food.

Of Birthdays
Happy Birthday to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart! I still think that Pa-Pa-Papagena! is one of the most romantic songs (is song the proper nomenclature?) ever.
Happy Birthday to Lewis Carroll! Your books are weird but great. Jabberwocky is an inspired poem and you taught me about how sexy portmanteaus can be.

Oh! Hi there, bloody nose! I was hoping you wouldn’t notice both the unfun stress I’m under AND the sudden change in temperature (seriously, east coast, wtf, mate?).

Of Marketplaces and Speech
But you can plainly see the weariness in Stevens eyes and hear it in his voice today as he is forced to contend with a legal fiction that has come to life today, a sort of constitutional Frankenstein moment when corporate speech becomes even more compelling than the “voices of the real people” who will be drowned out. Even former Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist once warned that...
