That's cause in almost all places outside of Japan hot sake is the lowest quality sake you can drink. The best sake you can reasonably find outside of Japan is/should be served cold. High quality sake is usually quite pricey too.

Oh. I tasted the hot kind only once and wondered why anyone would think that tasted okay. I just sort of reckoned they had a medical issue or were heavy smokers. I've never tasted cold sake.

Most security cameras are ip based these days and are fairly easy to setup. Keep in mind that decent HD cameras ones are not cheap and can run over a thousand dollars.
Yeah, sure, give potential thieves MORE to steal.  |

I taste everything. If you don't taste something once, how would you know never to taste it again? I thought everyone tasted everything.

If you look at chemistry journals from the late 1800's, they tasted everything too... much to their early demise. |

We'll see how it turns out. I may have to veto it if it looks to racy- dealing with public opinion in Texas, right?

Sake recommendation? Need something I can buy in the US.
What's the budget? Is this a gift? No gift. Hmm $3.50? Something less than $50 but better than has-an-animal-on-the-label? I'm sure there's a plaid-y craft sake distillers hereabouts in Seattle, but if anyone has a recommendation, I'll take it. Thank ye. |

For that price range I would recommend one of the Wakatake Onigoroshi ("Demon Slayer") sake's. Should be relatively easy to find. There are different styles of that brand with varying prices. I suggest either the Junmai Daiginjo (most expensive) or the Junmai Ginjo (somewhat less expensive). If you want to spend a little more I would recommend Ken as a popular relatively high end sake (in the US market) that's still relatively easy to find. |

My sister and brother in law like sake. I'll try to find that when I go back to the US at Christmas but I'm not entirely convinced it won't taste like cold earwax.
Also, I want to see the pics. :(

The man who just delivered my groceries asked me if I was listening to that music on purpose! Since he seemed pretty punk as fuck, I have to wonder if he meant why was I listening to that music or why was I listening to that music! Anyway, it made me sad.  |

He might have. I didn't hear him clearly. It sounded as if he had a mouth full of East London bollocks and he smelled like tobacco and cheap cider.

Doesn't sound like the sort of fellow I'd like to have delivering my groceries. |

I have to chair a faculty search committee. Ugh... two days wasted with phone interviews and then a week or two of onsite interviews. Job interviews in academia are so stupid long. Can you imagine a job interview that lasts two days? Day 1: 7:30 am - 8pm. Day 2: 7:30 am - 5pm. All for a shitty paying position.

Why? Do you think he tampered with my groceries? I would probably care more if he smelled like cheap urine. And two days of interviews sounds dreadful. Bring snacks. Or if it's anything like the two day interviews I've had, they'll bring you coffee when ever you like and later taunt you with cries of "HA! Now we have your DNA on file!!" Bastards. |

Sounds like there is going to be a lot of self-indulgent wankery going on. Bring snacks AND a raincoat. |

Academics love to hear themselves talk. The primary reason why I dodge most faculty meetings. |

Isn't all wankery self indulgent? And why a raincoat? Is that to hide the wanking. If so, also bring an extra sock.
