I believe that the proper turn of phrase is "I was fixin' to..."

(I have heard it shortened to "I was fittin' to...", however).

I've often heard it pronounced "fid-na." I even might coulda said it that way myse'f oncet or twice.

Isn't registering on J-Date a pretty good indication?

I tried to register but they said my picture was offensive:

Well, now, Adder, that's not entirely true. While I am sure that the Union Club doesn't have any actual fraternity lads as members, many the shop floor foreman in one of the factories owned by a coroporation that was owned by a conglomorate whose voting stock was controlled by a blind trust that was in Popsie's portfolio was a Greek from one of those land-grant, square-state state schools. And you can be sure that the managing director of that factory respected Chip the Tri-Delt, or whatever.

Of course, that was before Popsie shut that factory down. And I am sure that Chip the Zeta, or whatever, remains as a well-respected greeter at one of those dreadful bread-box stores that cousin Albert keeps droning on about.

This is the least convincing effort to be snidely condescending. Ever.

All that said, I thought Friends With Money was pretty good. It rang pretty true -- I identified with a lot of that crap, especially the part where you leave an event and spend the car ride home deconstructing what everyone said and basically gossiping about the other people. My wife and I do that all the time -- I never did that before I lived in LA.

That was the only part of the movie that felt real to me.

Have you ever had a food item and you couldn't decide whether it was good or not? Vegan Snickerdoodle. Not delicious, yet strangely compelling. Not even particularly cookie-like. But lots of cinnamon. Which is good.

Maybe I'm only drawn to it because my emotional food issues are feeding off of its odd-ingredient issues. I'm a vegan cookie enabler??

It all depends on whether they just made the cookies vegan or whether they tried to make them healthier as well.

A lot of snickerdoodles recipes already call for vegetable shortening rather than butter so if they just made a regular recipe into vegan, the only difference would be an egg substitute.

But if, in addition to being vegan, the baker wanted the cookies to be healthier, things could get really ugly. Substituting vegetable oil for the "bad fat" of the hydrogenated shortening and/or using something other than regular sugar and white flour would turn a perfectly good cookie into an abomination.

If you want a cookie, have a real cookie.

I do not deny myself the real cookies from time to time. But I was curious about the VS in my new gourmet sandwich shop downstairs, so thought I'd check it out. It was made to be "healthy" not merely vegan (no bleached flour, no saturated fat, low fat). I decided shortly after posting that it wasn't my thing, but the first few bites were oddly compelling.

I agree. Most of the other parts were forced and unrealistic. Like when the giant Anaconda (or whatever kind of snake it was) fell out of the overhead light fixture onto the stewardess -- just laughable (and I don't mean in a good way!). The fixture is just long enough and wide enough to fit the thing in the first place, and it's all sealed up (until the snake comes crashing out of it), so how did it crawl inside without breaking anything? Huh? Come on. How dumb do you think we are, Hollywood?

I saw Executive Decision over the weekend (Again (God, how I love that movie)) and the only part that felt real to me was when the shaft gets sucked away from the plane with Steven Seagal in it and woosh! There he goes into the air!! Actually, it didn't feel real at all, just made me feel good and fuzzy. Nothing like watching Steven Seagal get his.

It was an exciting Sunday in front of the computer with Miami Vice marathon, Executive Decision and Law and Order on in the background.

I saw Bondage Boys Part 4 this wekend. It seemed all too real to me- every moment. Of couse, I only saw the first 3 minutes.

So thinking about baseball statistics is really helping you hold off, huh?

In this week's NY Magazine but no link on line yet there is an article about The Mommy Diaries and it is about Urbanbaby.com which I've looked at but it is a comical hilarious article about these mothers in Park Slope and Upper East Side and how they have these anon message threads and how unhappy they are, and the funny part was that they were talking about when bonus time rolled around for the ibankers and BIGLAW all the claws came out and the schadenfreude that came out regarding who bought what or rec. what. shit. I'm glad I work. control the money, indeed.

Also, slate's coverage of my fave fashion site, the sartorialist.
