I had a bit of a bad day in the kitchen the other day. In the morning, I poured hot water into my knock-off bodum coffee pot, only to watch it crack down the length of the side and do this weird ring crack around the bottom. In fact, when I dumped the coffee and [...]

Ratatouille
You know what I hate? Giving my money to evil corporations like D*sney. I held out on even renting the original Pirates of the Caribbean movie until it moved off the new releases rack (the point at which the video store has paid off the purchase of the film) so none of my rental fee [...]

Definitely enough room to stuff a dead body should the occasion warrant it. The kitchen arrangement issues are still up in the air, though. It doesn’t work well [...]
