    Southern accents & the Northeast

    And Connie, the first thing I thought of when I heard Sarah Palin was "upstate New York." Suck it, mary. No way. Compared to Upstate NYers, her accent was mild. However, the vocabulary is pretty close. And you're right, for some reason, NY state people just don't comprehend that they have accents.

    Things That Are Bothering You, Got You All Hibbeldy-Jibbeldy, or just downright pissed, RIGHT NOW!

    There was a plethora of buffoons at work tonight. At one table, a group of 3 women had gathered for a Sex & The City party. They all drank cosmos and even played S&TC trivia. I almost threw a plate at them. A table of boorish lesbians was being rowdy. This is not Friday's, it is a fine dining...

    getting to S. Korea from Prague

    gotta go to Seoul from Prague. It will be in the middle of summer, with about 4 days to play with between Czech Republic and Korea. The flights I've checked out between Prague and Seoul are ridiculous. LA to Seoul (return) is like 3k for business class, and very cheap on economy. From Prague...

    Justine Henin abruptly retires

    ^^ I guess the question is, how does she want to be remembered? Justine Henin may be going out on top with plenty of $$, but she probably won't be mentioned in any discussion of the top players of all time. Yea she only won 7 majors, and made 30 mill just on the tour. Definitely not memorable.

    Indirect racial slurs in another language...ever happen to you?

    I'd gladly get blood stains on my favorite shirt for a friend, and my good friends would gladly do the same for me. Your Cuban friend needs new friends. Over what a dude said at a sandwich store? Really?

    Which hair styling product?

    Are you looking for a styling product to hold your hair in place, or a humectant/moisturizer so your hair is more manageable and lays naturally? Your original post sounded like the latter, whilst all of the suggestions have been for the former... I have thick coarse hair as well, which at short...

    Superfoods!

    Isn't it better to just eat food rich in Zinc, or are supplements a good idea? If you eat a normal amount of chicken, lean beef etc... every day, isn't that giving you enough zinc?

    I just bought a... (non clothing item)

    I briefly looked at Schott Zweisel's line which uses a titanium crystal and are much stronger, but aesthetically, the Riedel Vistis were exponentially more pleasing to my eye. I'm very careful with my things and so breakage generally isn't a huge concern. I bought a special goblet brush to clean...

    Modern/European Kitchen Cabinets

    Personally, I am not a fan of provincial styles of furniture for various reasons. Firstly, I don't really like the look of it; and secondly, it is slightly tacky given the ubiquity of it. You see a lot of French Provincial kitchens and the like. Baroque is something that I'm quite keen on, but...

    Modern/European Kitchen Cabinets

    I suppose the solid wood furniture for the peasants is more in line with traditional European furnishings. That certainly seemed to be the case with French furniture--the now ubiquitous French provincial styles all tended to favor solid woods while the grand pieces were composed of complex...

    I guess I`m only the one that thinks there is no rule. I meant the subway, the mall, anywhere. You really, really are the only one.

    Modern/European Kitchen Cabinets

    Yeah, I like bleached oak even less (less even when somebody calls it cerused). The use of these kinds of woods in a modern context doesn't work at all for me. The attraction to modernity, at least for me, is as much the use of innovative materials as it is the absolute design. When you slap...

    Modern/European Kitchen Cabinets

    Solid wood is not the best idea in a kitchen. The heat and humidity change too much. Anyway, veneer has always been the choice for fine furniture and cabinetry, with solid wood being more for peasants. The only thing that has really changed over the last many years is the surface below the...

    Modern/European Kitchen Cabinets

    It seems many mid-century buildings used a variety of particle board and copious amounts of fancy veneers. yea exactly. Particle board and plywood with some cheesy veneer.
