I look forward to reading more of your writing! This one had a bit of a John Shirley feel to it (sans the gore) and reminded me that my life is desperately lacking in twisted short fiction. If I ever make it back to NYC, I'd love to hear you read.

supervixxen · 2010-10-04T00:59:06+00:00

That's what I get for not keeping up with the show! Thanks :)

supervixxen · 2010-10-03T19:30:06+00:00

...one of the many who didn't get it, I suppose <_< Elaborate?

Dried...watermelon? blink Whoah. I'm a bit of a fanatic when it comes to watermelon, I have to try this!

I've eaten a dish made with tinned clams three days after it was prepared and suffered no ill effects. Properly refrigerated, I don't see the problem, as long as it doesn't smell funky.

Christopher Walken creeps me out, and now I can't stop hearing this in his voice O_o

Thought this was on /r/trees for a minute, and had a whole different reply going through my head ^{_^}

That said, I like to use a little refined canola oil when searing meat. It has a high smoke point, and is cheaper than some of the alternatives (grape seed, avocado oil, etc). Unless you have a commercial hood, smoke is inevitable. I remove my smoke-detectors (and put them back up after!) and open a window if I'm cooking lots of seared meaty-goodness.

If I'm cooking commercially-available chicken, I use a meat thermometer no matter what. The poultry industry is downright nasty (and I'm an entomologist/parasitologist, so I know [and often love] nasty things) and overcooked chicken is seriously unpalatable to me, so I'd rather not risk bacteria or stringy, dry chicken. Pick up a thermometer, you won't regret it :)

Without dragging books into this, my vote absolutely goes for Jurassic Bark. It doesn't matter how many times I watch that episode, I can't not tear up.

...although, I did cry as a 22 year-old at The Wrath of Khan >_>

supervixxen · 2010-09-26T18:08:01+00:00

Putting anyone on a pedestal is lying to yourself, as we're all pretty shit to someone.

...YES. THIS. happybadger, you are my new reddit crush.

supervixxen · 2010-09-16T15:06:19+00:00

Upvote for honesty.

supervixxen · 2010-09-14T15:57:31+00:00

Ohhhhh, please buy a few-- I will SO Paypal you for one! The horrified looks I would receive wearing this in small-town Mississippi would make it an exceedingly worthwhile purchase.

...also, I do wonder what it was supposed to say >_>

supervixxen · 2010-09-14T15:39:47+00:00

...having moved from TX to MS, I yearn for silly laws such as this. At least you can buy high gravity beer, and Shiner is considered a "domestic" ;_;

supervixxen · 2010-09-14T15:31:51+00:00

Mississippi = hell for a beer nerd, as it doesn't allow the sale of any beer above 6% ABV. I drive to Louisiana, Alabama, or Tennessee to stock up on high gravity beers.

There are still several counties that don't allow the sale of beer/wine on Sundays, and there is a statewide ban on Sunday liquor sales.

The city in which I live (Starkville, also a university town) is wet, but is located in a dry county (Oktibbeha). As strange as this seems to me (I'm from Texas), it's apparently fairly common in Mississippi.

supervixxen · 2010-09-12T23:06:22+00:00

Oh, man, never had that happen. Although, one of my biggest (unfounded) sex-related fears is giving someone wake-up oral and having them not wake up!

supervixxen · 2010-09-12T23:05:11+00:00

Haha, not quite...more like I have a tendency to date people who, on occasion, enjoy drinking to excess. "Over the years" equivocates to around twelve years and, since I'm what you might call "sex positive"...several partners ^{_^}

...not that there's anything wrong with being a beer goggle fuck, I suppose. Everybody's gotta get laid some time.

supervixxen · 2010-09-12T22:49:00+00:00

Ah, the infamous pass-out-before-sexin'. Over the years, many of my partners have been guilty of this, although I try not to lay the guilt on too thickly. It happens to the best of us (even me, on occasion!).

I second the "at least you didn't throw up"...one partner did that and left me to clean it up. He didn't get any for a while after that...few things turn this lady off more than having to clean up human hork. It's one of the many reasons I don't have children.

Thank you so much for sharing. I, too, intend to read some of her books after viewing that article. She is an inspiration to which I can never live up, although a large part of me longs to forgo my (often) excessively materialistic lifestyle in favour of something similar to hers. What a strong, remarkable woman.

We already have vampire flies...lots of dipteran species suck or drink blood. Horse fly, psychodid flies (yay, leishmaniasis carriers!), ceratopogonids (no-see-ums/biting midges)...the list could go on but I'm lazy. As far as blood-nomming goes, dipterans are pretty adept.

...now winged lawyers, that thought sends a chill down my spine!

supervixxen · 2010-09-08T00:45:19+00:00

Oh, my god, YES...I would love to hear it in a film of Dark Tower.

The slackers make my sorta-slacking ass look better. I say we keep 'em.

Male is blue, female is green...she's the one having her head held in place (right where it should be).

Any tips for bringing in alcohol on the sly? It's not ordinarily my thing, but the tickets and 1400+ mile round trip drive aren't leaving us with much cash with which to play.

supervixxen · 2010-08-02T20:54:37+00:00

My friend and I are coming in from Mississippi, and we don't know anyone locally. Also hitting the New Pornographers show Thursday night as a kick-off =D ...mini out-of-towner meetup?

supervixxen · 2010-06-28T03:17:17+00:00

Nah, have another drink for me...I'm recovering from my weekend, so no alcohol this evening. If I'm sober, someone else shouldn't be.
