On Chef Listens To Unappetizing Music
It's not just hidden away in the kitchen. It's not easy reconciling the caviar beurre blanc on your plate with the Pearl Jam and Nirvana wafting through the air.

On It's Time To Set Your Fish Sauce Free
What about the one with the freaky thumbs-up baby logo? Golden Boy (had to run into the kitchen and check). I've been resisting the foodie call of Red Boat, but may cave now. Sure fish sauce may have a distinctive smell, but it's got nothing on shrimp paste for stinkitude.

On It's A Tiny Record Store
This reminds me of using those stickers with photos of albums on them from Columbia House-esque mailers as Barbie records. In the old days, obviously.

On 'Homeland' And 'Enlightened': Women On The Verge Of Nervous Breakthroughs
So happy to read this! I've been mildly obsessed with Enlightened and Homeland (and no other shows this season) and couldn't really say why since on the surface they seem so different. I keep telling people to watch Enlightened so much that I'm starting to worry about my own mental health.

On A Conspiracy of Hogs: The McRib as Arbitrage
@DorothyMantooth I'm totally going to get one when I'm there later this month, if only to gauge whether eating a McRib in Berlin makes one cooler (loosely defined) than than doing so in Brooklyn.

On A Conspiracy of Hogs: The McRib as Arbitrage
I recently discovered that Germany is the only country with a McRib on the menu year-round. I'm not sure how to interpret that bit of information in relation to any conspiracy theories.

On Lynda Barry Is America's Greatest Everything
So good to see 2011 Lynda Barry getting some attention! If Family Circus doesn't make you bawl, then it's not doing its job.

On Get Ready For Indian Summer, The Meteorological Phenomenon That Everyone Writes Songs About And Then Everyone Else Covers Those Songs A Million Times
With Spotify, and I guess the internet in general, it's weird to think back to when you really, really wanted to hear a song on demand and couldn't unless you had the album in your possession. Beat Happening's, "Indian Summer" tormented me like this in the early '90s. Of course now that I can listen to any ol' thing when I feel like it, I rarely take advantage.

On Eat, Pray, Tube: Adrift on the Delaware River
I'd nearly forgotten about things you could do with tubes! Growing up my dad worked at Goodyear so we were well supplied for river tubing in the summer and snow tubing in the winter. The rest of the time we kept giant inner tubes in the front yard just for us and neighbor kids to bounce around on (but you'd have to rotate them, so you didn't create a brown circle of dead grass).

@Niko Bellic I might go as far as no parks ever.
