From a friend whose short film is in contention for the Oscars: One of my story pitches was recently rejected because it was "too imaginative". Way to go Hollywood. |

Sorry to hear it. Just don't make the doormat mistake of saying you're ok with it and you can work through it. There's plenty of other people out there more compatible. |

Yeah, if she's sleeping with someone else, one time mistake or not, that's a no-nonsense dealbreaker. Same thing for women who catch their dudes. Nothing is worth a shot to that trust. |

Still sorry to hear it though, brother. |

I suggest you don't do any of those. My advice is four really dry martinis, a spliff and a stack of zombie films starting with Zombieland. Srsly.

Thinking about the zombie kill of the week instantly made my day better. Well done. |

Honeycrisp as part of my lunch "dessert." Surely there is some way science can make these jewels available year round. |

I tried a honeycrisp last year when you all started going on about them again. Meh. I'll stick to McIntosh, although those have been getting harder and harder to find lately.

Probably because they aren't patented and any old SOB can grow them. How do you expect fruit conglomerates to make money on a fruit like that, you commie bastard? |

I'm an old SOB with two honeycrisp trees in the yard. Both the big local orchards are growing them, too. |

Nope, not the only one. I much prefer them in general. Not to say a good Honeycrisp isn't tasty, but Granny Smith is perfect. |

When I first started eating apples a few years ago (hated most fruit for years), Granny Smiths were the only ones I could eat. Most apples I tasted have a really sandy, grainy mush texture that I just couldn't stand. Honeycrisp are just sweeter than Granny Smiths and more palatable. Jazz are the same way and Pink Ladies are edible. Everything else I've had is just ICK. |

I learned today that Honecrisp trees are not self-fruitful and require something else, "for the sake of commercial production" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeycrisp_appleAlso, apparently anyone can grow them now since the patent on them expired, as it was filed in 1988. |

Interesting. Just received a Logitech Universal Remote that I ordered from Amazon and when I get it the box has been opened and the serial number is scratched out with a permanent marker. So, of course, I get it packed up to send back. And, low and behold, when I look at the reviews for the company that fulfilled the order the very same thing happened to someone just a couple of weeks ago. And there's no way for me to leave feedback about the company. Only the packaging. |
