I've been wrestling with this issue and you just expressed it perfectly.

While we never would want to celebrate someone going through a divorce, we are extremely jealous that you will soon have the opportunity to fuck someone else besides your ex-SO very soon.

You should sleep with the person you're dating very early to ensure that he/she is not atrocious in the sack because, no matter how good they are elsewhere, if they suck there, the relationship is doomed.

A friend's inventive way to get around this: she was living in the UK but met a guy on the slopes while on holiday out West. It was only a few days and they didn't hook up completely but they kept up a mean correspondence (they are now married with 3 kids). She didn't want to waste time with a lousy lover so she sent him a really long questionnaire asking how he would or would not do A, B, or C and how. And included stuff like "describe how you would use your tongue." He wasn't offended and was really into the fact that she was into sex that much. He said he loved filling out the racy questionnaire and was really shocked to get it. For her, she mostly wanted to know how into oral sex he was because she is obsessed with it (both ways).

To be fair, I will report that I have been getting some. I am "dating" two men and two women (they all know about each other). I heart being single.

What happened to the original avatar? This is too blurry.

Warsteiner. The Germans know how to make it crisp.

I like Chimay. But I'd never drink more than one in a sitting.

I like Belgians and can drink many more than one is a sitting. You want to drink some strong, heavy beer that is really fucking good? Gulden Draak. Piraat also kicks ass. I love Duvel - in fact it seems light to me now. Chimay Blue is the best of the Chimay bunch. But some of the stronger beers are made by American and Canadian companies that make Belgian-style ales. Victory brewing makes a beer call Twelve. The name refers to the alcohol content. Holy shit, that stuff is like getting clubbed with whatever it is they use to club baby seals. I guess they use clubs. This stuff is not for cats like Sebby, though. That cat needs to stay light on his feet. Anyhoo, I almost bookended this post with a couple of fake html tags like <pretentiousbeerrant> </pretentiousbeerrant> because I think that schtick is kind of retro and cool again, like leg warmers were a month or two ago. But I didn't and instead just described how I was thinking about doing it. Just a couple of sentences ago.

Actually, probably. Though not with the boys, at least not as currently planned.

So do I. Notwithstanding the dry spell. I thought it was just the novelty of it all, but I don't think it is. There is a lot to be said for being single, especially if you can stay friends with ex. Best of all worlds.

So I got a hideous yellow glass vase for Christmas. What's the best way to regift that?

Don't regift it. Freecycle it. Oh the gift rejects I have freecycled. And old crap clogging up my living space.

Apropos of nothing, I heard some pretentious music rant on "Fresh Air" the other day -- apparently, Alberfeldy is the Scottish band that we should all be listening to instead of Franz Ferdinand -- and thought of you.

Then I realized that I didn't even know that Franz Ferdinand was Scottish (or Scots, for that matter), and it was like it was the whole "is Jill Sobule a riot grrl?" thingy all over again. And so I wept.

You are my soul mate. I can't date you.

Another thing I did this weekend was watch "Fromage '04", which was a show about the worst music videos of 2004 and I realized that I had forgotten that one can say "shit" on Canadian tv without it being bleeped. (It was very cold and snowy out, hence the tv-watching)
