Closing music … Love is Never Distant – by Jack
Van.
STOP FLIRTING WITH ME!
On a more serious note … the only way I know of to deal with this issue is to stay clear of the accuser.
Loving the Bunny right now… loving the Bunny.
Van- I say start flirting vigorously, then you can say, see now THAT’s flirting.
Thx for the advice everybody, I suspect walking away is the only viable option.
Only look if you are really good at maths:
http://rjlipton.wordpress.com/2010/08/15/the-p?np-proof-is-one-week-old/
Wow, that Weird Al quiz is really well constructed. I can usually get a 50% on any multiple choice test, whether I know the subject or not. On this one… not so much.
6/20 or 30%
QUIZ SPOILERS:
3 were blind luck
1 was because I know that Weird Al does polka.
1 was because I know Prince is a dick.
1 was because … er… I forget. I just remember that it was non-Al based knowledge.
Van – Depends. If you’re in a relationship with the accuser, may god have mercy on your soul. If it is someone else, maybe that is their entirely passive aggressive way of hitting on you.
Or it could just be someone who enjoys needling you, who enjoys seeing you react.
… Yeah, not really a positive thing I guess.
I don’t understand a single math-y thing he is saying, but I love the way it is written. How often do you see someone actually use the word PITH?
It’s been a long since I read about Dr Livingstone.
+time
There was math on that page?
If P?DP
then DP=the way
That’s all the math I need
I only got 11 right. But, no questions from “Peter and the Wolf”? Come on!

I was disappointed I missed the “When did Al get the “Weird Al” nickname. I’m not sure what I was thinking when I answered that one.
Re: Robo cream
Did you notice the sign on the wall behind the robot? That has got to go on a t-shirt.

Returning Cj’s love
According to the USPS two were delivered and one… well someone has to check their mail.
Today I’ve decided to get someone at work in trouble. It wasn’t actually a conscious decision but it had to be done
Van: I don’t think there is any problem with flirting, but if someone complains, then like everyone else said, just walk away. This is a good case where ignoring the problem (person) actually works.

thanks again everyone :)
more to comment on but no time right now.

You can flirt with me any time, Van
Hello TSH
Van: I haven’t been closely following the P?NP proof, but I’ve been aware of it. This is the first post I’ve seen that has covered it in any detail other than the typical “It’s probably wrong.”
My math certainly isn’t up to that discussion.
Helllloooooooooooo TSH! ;)

So hubby has informed me, if the cat dies this year, we’ll go to Europe for our anniversary next year.
It was a mean thing to say simply because I don’t know what to hope for.
(disclaimer: our cat is old and the vet said she could die tomorrow or live another couple of years so it wasn’t as mean a thought as it seems)
I agree ditto, that’s one of the few celebrity stories I can get behind.
TEB: I know what you mean about the cat. I still miss Reggie, our old cat.
A good non-technical background of the P≠NP proof.

We lost a cat last year to cancer. It was a bit of a surprise as we fully expected her to live longer than our current cat. Once this one goes hubby and I have decided we’re not going to get any more.
But they are so FLUFFY! :)
I agree ditto. Fluffy, cuddly, purrs are calming, etc. However it’s very heartbreaking when they die. Also, hubby and I want to start doing some travelling and that’s harder to do when you basically have a child at home.
Currently hubby and I have to take separate holidays (beyond a day or two) because our cat’s on medication and won’t take it from anybody except him or I.
I totally understand TEB.
I am NOT going to that IMAX Theater!!!

Ah a vision of Mr and Mrs TEB in a cafe in Paris, the moon shines down on them, love is in the air, then they get insulted by the French waiters..

Van,
Comment 1: Paris is one of the few places I’ve had no real desire to visit.
Comment 2: cool camera, ewwwww for suggested use.
I agree with Bunny. Van can flirt with me – preferably verbally – any time.
EssBee, check your snail mail!
Bunny, we missed a package yesterday – is that Canadian?
Yup.
It’s my way of flirting with you, EssBee
My kitty is sleeping on a chair beside me and is snoring very loudly. It’s kind of cute, in a worrying kind of way.
Worrying?
If she’s snoring it means she’s stuffed up.

So finally got around to downloading the trial version of LIMBO…bloody hell that is one creepy game.
Van: Yes, it is.
Nice find on the McKellar story. Being as I’m going to have a middle school aged girl in another year, I think I’ll do some book shopping.
Jo: I missed the same Weird Al question. I know that in my case I remembered that he was submitting stuff to Dr. Demento in High School so I figured that was when he got the name.
So is there somewhere we can appeal that one … or are we just unappealing?

RE: Being Human- it is an odd little show but I do really like it. The funny thing is I always like the vampire better than the werewolf (count me in as a member of team Edward) but I just love George on the show. I am more interested in George’s struggle then Mitchels. But I do love Mitchel too. He’s a vampire. Of COURSE I love him :) Annie is so sweet too.
RE: Gates. I will hold off on it
RE: Inception. Hugh and I really need to try to get to see that before its gone from the theaters. The last movie we saw in theater was Sex and The City 2 :) lol. That was part of Hughs birthday gift to me. Before that.. omg.. i can’t even recall the last movie we saw in theater.
OH- I did take his nieces to see that last Twilight movie when they visited here when it came out. But Hugh wasn’t subjected to that form of torture with me.
Re: Weird Al- got 3 out of 20 :( guess my guessing abilities are lacking.

Dear Johnny Null,
119 podcasts?!?!!??!!???! When do you sleep? When do you eat?
I have 2 podcasts I subscribe to (Deadpan + Savage Love). But only 1 that I ever listen to (Deadpan).
Bunny- I am sorry about your kitty :(
One of our cats we used to have died a couple months ago. Back when things started getting more involved with Hughs cancer we gave away our 2 cats to family members. Actually the cat died to cancer. His sister didn’t want to tell us that when it happened. Poor kitty :(

TSH: Thankfully, I’m able to listen to podcasts while I work. I also typically listen to them while working out. I do skip a few now and again, based upon topic.
Well, I’ve spent the past few days having just about a total war with my mother. Should this still be happening at my age? Seriously, I feel like only a teenager should be saying this.
We’ve gone several years without speaking to one another in the past. I thought that I would give it one last go. After all, it’d be nice to have some representation from my family at any particular future wedding I happen to stumble into (My father and sister follow her every word as though it’s gospel).
But, it looks like it’ll never be. It’s a disgusting, shameful situation. But at least I have those that truly love me by my side.
I need a drink.

I’ve avoided the Scott Pilgrim books, partly because I don’t like the drawing style, but also because I want to enjoy the movie on its own merit. I’ll read the books after I see the movie.

(your welcome Jack)
the current wine.woot.com item might be a good one:
Soirée Bottle Top Wine Aerator
I have a different aerator and love it
ditto I’m not sure what that writer is getting at. Overall its been a really well received movie from the critics… ironically it seems not from the audience as its bombing miserably.
ditto, even with my zero interest in seeing Scott Pilgrim, I loved that NPR article. Bravo to its author.
Duckface is another thing that needed to be called out. Bravo again.
Are you a wine guy, reaper?
Johnny Null, that’s pretty disappointing. You want to give the people in your family all of the chances it takes, but it can be really difficult.
TSH!
Lo, I’ve seen that happen for many other movies (tho I haven’t seen any of the Scott Pilgrim reviews)…. the critics often are more concerned about looking than like cutting edge social gurus than actually reviewing the damn movie on its own merits.
How badly did we all get mocked during the Star Wars prequels releases?
Oh hes talking overall. Ok gotcha – in that case it makes more sense. I just found it odd he was using Pilgrim as an example since its reviews are rather good.
Jack, yep, I’m a big fan of wine. I prefer beer because I find it better, more complex, and the packaging makes it easier to have just one drink. I rarely get wine my wife wont drink because it doesn’t last that long on the shelf. It is also expensive. $10/bottle is hard to swallow when you have to drink it in 2 days when a 6 pack of good beer is also $10 and it can last a week or more.
and $4.50 a glass in a restaurant for a $5 a bottle wine hurts also.

reaper: We have a Soirée aerator. We like it lots. I have no other one to compare it against, though. Have you tried one of those vacuum-top things for your wine? It’s helped us extend the shelf life a bit.

Johnny, we have this one: http://vinturi.com/ with out the tower.
I don’t have a vacuum-top thing but we have considered it.
Normally we will get some cheaper wines ($6-8) since we have gotten the vinturi and it seams to help make it drinkable the next day but the 3rd day not so much. A vacuum pump might help. I just finely got my wife to drink reds at room temp.
How long will the vacuum thingy help it keep? I love merlot and chianti but I never by them because my wife won’t drink them and I can’t finish a bottle in before it goes bad.

When are our Dark Star assignments due?
reaper, you’ve perfectly summed up my wine/beer perspective.
I also know much more about quality microbrews than I do about wine, and have a terrible memory for wine labels, whether good and bad.
I understand that the wine’s terroir is probably the most important factor in determining the style and flavor, and that I have really enjoyed the bottles I’ve had from certain regions of Spain, France, and even Argentina. I’ve never loved any Californian or Australian (wine).
Given the option, I’d usually order a Malbec, although I can also be happy with a Cabernet.
The Dark Star episode is next week! So, get me your DS thoughts by Wednesday, plz.
Jack, I have the same problem with remembering wine labels. What I restored to doing in pulling out my phone to make a note when I decide and again after I have tried it to give it a rating…
when I even remember to do that.
The few times I order wine is when I have a stake or heavier Italian food just about anything else requires a good matching beer.
I can only remember a label or two at a time. Plus, we usually find new wines from my sister or through one of my friends. We typically buy what we know.
We were introduced to this about a year ago. Fantastic:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempranillo
I can’t think of the name of the one we’ve been getting as of late (see?), but I know it’s a pino noir.
reaper: The one we have seems to work pretty well. Again, I have nothing to compare it to. I’ll look and see if there’s a name on it. I think it’s pretty generic, although Lady J usually buys really quality stuff.
Crap. It doesn’t look like I’ll be able to participate in the Dark Star Extravaganza.
Johnny Null, I like that policy. We usually but the best we can afford at the time or hold off if nothing looks good in our price range. Often enough if there are a wide range of an item available you get what you pay for… to a point
That sucks, ditto. Have you had a chance to watch yet?
No. I’ve had too much going on and I’m not in control of the NetFlix queue. Too bad you can’t stream the movie.

Yon bed doth call, but verily I say unto you, I have many a mile betwixt myself and it.
From the wikipedia entry on tempranillo wines: aromas and flavors of berries, plum, tobacco, vanilla, leather and herb
As much as I like wine, I’m just not that into seeing that my wine smells or tastes like leather.
Also, I highly recommend John Cleese – Wine for the Confused. I’m very much in line with the main message of “don’t let others tell you what should taste good to you based on price, color, or any other factor. Your taste buds are your own”.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0466506/
Also has one of the things I would most love to say in my lifetime: Many people have told me that (I wish I could remember the name of the wine here) is not a sophisticated wine. Both times that I’ve had wine with the Queen of England, we had xxxx. If it’s sophisticated enough for the Queen of England, it’s sophisticated enough for me.
I’ve never been able to enjoy drinking wine, it all tastes vinegary to me…I can just about stomach mead in small doses.
Van: must be some winey mead.
Van: I understand the whole “vinegary” problem. Have you tried “fruity” wines? There are some really good sweet ones… if you like sweet alcoholic beverages…
Holy Island is a good place to visit if you are in the area..if only for the Mead..
Van: also, with regard to Mead… are you getting the type that’s mixed with white wine, or pure honey mead? I know that Chaucer’s mixes, and I think the Tower of London stuff does as well…
Holy Island.
< Mental note: >
When traveling to the UK, Visit Holy Island… If ONLY for the mead…
< /Mental note >
Might be a mixture LJ:
http://www.lindisfarne-mead.co.uk/AboutUs.aspx
Not sure if fermented grape juice counts as white wine (feel free to laugh at my ignorance).
I’ll give the ‘fruity’ wines a try LJ.
Since I was under the impression wine was fermented grape juice.
I’ll be using an abacus next..badly.
