My college roommate used to pan-fry those in butter and add honey at the end.

Evil.

Petra

I'm all for anyone giving their lives to whatever (healthy) thing they like. But I understand how you feel. I just tell myself that at that age, it's the same rationalization as saying they've given their lives to Justin Bieber. I'm sure the sentiment is heartfelt, because kids really aren't capable...

Petra

Garburator!

Petra

Reheated garlic and mushroom pasta with lots of cheese.

At 8:42 in the morning.

My hangovers demand temporally inappropriate foods.

Petra

Oooh, I like.

Petra

Are we dedicated to "An Ender's Game Community | Associated with ENDER'S ANSIBLE?" Because the "associated with" makes me feel like this is an APB on PWeb. ATTENTION ALL CARS: BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR PHILOTIC WEB, A ROGUE COMMUNITY OF LIKE-MINDED ENDER'S GAME FANS WHO ARE SUSPECTED...

Petra

I am so sorry. I wish I lived nearby so I could help.

Can you hire a last-minute crew to help you pack? Even if it's just for a few hours, it could really help.

Petra

I rolled a natural 20 the first time I ever played D&D, which resulted in a standing invitation to quest with this group.

Petra

My exams are done =)

Yay! Congrats!

Petra

Dear You, My bake sale on Monday raised $370 dollars. I coordinated the whole thing. If your bocce tournament wasn't advertised or prepared for, whose fault is that? I don't care that you're a political appointee and I'm an intern. Stop talking down to me, and stop expecting me to do your work becau...

Petra

Aw, that makes me sad. As a Gator who went to UF from 2004-2008, I was required to sign a notarized statement declaring my undying fealty to Timmy before they would let me have my diploma. But I can understand that people are getting tired of him always being brought up in the sports news.

Petra

The destruction of books, beyond the natural decomposition of my reading them too much and the pages falling out of the spine, seems really wrong.

Petra

Bad, bad dreams this week. Seriously messed up psychology s***. There's only so many times you can watch your own mother murder you and everyone you love before staying awake sounds like a better idea.

And those weren't even the worst dreams.

So tired.

Petra

Does anyone watch Up All Night? It's about a young couple with a new baby, very funny. I don't have kids but I feel like that's how my life will be when I do.

We drank a $9 bottle of wine and now there's a new person in the world.

Petra

Hey, is anybody else interested in a Pweb Mafia game like we used to do? I would be willing to moderate if we have enough interest.

Yes!

Paralympian Eyeing The Olympics After Crash Miraculously Un-Paralyzes Her

Petra

No. Way.

I have a mild (read: outrageous) interest (read: addiction) to anything about pandemics. I will purchase this game.

Petra

I hate the person who stole my wallet when I was at my favorite bar celebrating the completion of my mater's degree.

Petra

Oh man. Oh man. I was walking through DC today and stumbled on this game store. It's nerdvana. I've always wanted to get into gaming but have never had a group to do it with. But I'm proud to announce that this Wednesday I will be attending their weekly D&D mini-campaign. And then I will buy Mun...

Petra

I finished my master's degree! My life is once again my own!

Petra

Cheez-Its give me heartburn, but only when I'm hungover. Which is, of course, when I want them most.

The first time I got heartburn made me so sad, because I was about 21 and I thought it meant I was getting old. Silly me.

Petra

Thanks! Turned out to be a moot point, as once I sent them an invoice they immediately filed it for payment. Woo Christmas money!

Petra

Oh, they're perfect for that age! I'm pretty sure that's when I read them. I remember wandering the kids section of the Books a Million looking for the newest ones. They're great books. I only remember bits of them, but I do have one distinct memory of a teenage boy talking about how his favourite p...

Petra

I have a DROID 3, a desktop, a laptop and my work computer. Plus, you know, the actual Kindle. But no matter where I am, I have my books and--here's the kicker--I can get new ones. I remember when I was a kid and I finished a book in a series and wanted the next one but had to wait days for Mom to h...

Petra

It's a generational thing, trust me. I have a lot of family like that, who just are used to the way things used to be said and never got around to changing their vocabulary. Or their outlook, for that matter. But it's more of a... passive racism. They probably don't really even notice, half the time...

Petra

Dr. Who, The DaVinci Code, Animal Farm, Hair Dye...

I'm sure there's a lot more. I lead a strange life.

Petra

Question for everyone: Does anyone here ever do freelance/independent work? I'm trying to figure out the appropriate length of time to put on my invoice for a "gimmie money by" date, but am not sure of the rules.

Thanks!

Petra

How did you fit so much adorable into one tiny person?

Petra

Oh, Boyfriend is a huge BF3 addict.

I'm playing through Mass Effect and ME2 before ME3 comes out. In between my fumbling attempts at Starcraft and my stalled progress in Torchlight.

I want Skyrim, but I feel I can't be trusted with it...

Petra

Dear Bob, I just submitted my first-ever freelance article, for which I have been offered an inappropriate amount of money considering I'm technically an untried writer. Did it have to be on such a detailed topic? I could've rocked the s*** out of a social media article, but... international bribery...

Petra

I have pictures! Went to a fancy holiday party this weekend and thought I would post a picture... then I got picture happy. So here's me! I've fluctuated a bit in the weight department lately, so some of these look different than others. Me and Boyfriend at this weekend's fancy party: http://i1205.p...

Petra

When this thesis is done, it's going to be all Mass Effect all the time.

Petra

It is unseasonably warm in DC. I love it, but it's really confuing me wardrobe-wise. I am not used to 60 degrees in December anymore!

Petra

I love shopping for Christmas trees, but since I moved to DC I can't fit one in my house. And my mother always gets the tree early in December, so I don't get to be part of it at home, either.

Makes me very sad. Maybe I'll get a pine-scented candle like y'all have to make it smell more Christmassy!

Petra

Given the role he is going to be playing someone needs to introduce him to Starcraft.

I will do it. I will shoulder that burden.
