Trader Joe's rules. Everything is fresher and better than at the grocery store. I like their cheeses the best because they have the sharpest cheddar and really good goat cheese. They have a lot of products that you can't find in a regular grocery store. I think that the prices are good, especially for what you get. It's definitely cheaper than Whole Foods. People drive out of the city and go to the one in Towson to do their shopping, and it takes a lot for a Baltimorean to drive out of the city.
ReplyDeleteI want to see Goon. It's written by Jay Baruchel and Evan Goldberg who co-wrote Superbad, Pineapple Express, and The Green Hornet. Ever since The Promotion, I really like Seann William Scott. I think it looks good.
I am very against the Total Recall remake. I just watched the full trailer and I agree with all of your points. It just looks bland and nowhere near as good. I will not see it in the theater, but I'd like to critique it on home video.
I'm definitely in for Safety Not Guaranteed (obviously, right?) Mostly because I am in love with Aubrey Plaza.
After seeing the real trailer, I have much more interest in seeing The Dictator. The fact that it might not just be Sacha Baron Cohen acting a fool the entire time helps.
I guess I should watch Alien and re-watch Aliens again before Prometheus.
Dark Shadows: Eh, maybe.
HA! Great quote to end the show.
RE: The end quote - I had a feeling you'd like that. It was in one of those old e-mails you sent me in 2006 that I was going through the other day.
DeleteWegmans was founded here in Rochester where i live, so it's the main grocery store here. i can't speak for why anyone else in other cities gets excited for it, but for me Wegmans is awesome because they have a great health food/hippie food section and on their store brand stuff they have little logos that indicate whether the food is vegetarian or vegan (which i need to know).
ReplyDeleteand there are two different kinds of Wegmans where i live, the regular Wegmans and what we call the MegaWegmans which is like twice the size and has an awesome food buffet of all different kinds of shit and it's all marked whether it's vegetarian/vegan, they have fresh sushi there, pizzas, full course meals made right there, it's basically a gigantic self-serve restaurant and it's the best.
Rian, forgive me if you've told me this before or mentioned it before, but what happened to your back??? sounds intense...
I don't know if ours is a MegaWegmans, but my parents aren't vegetarians, so I'm still not sure why they're so in love with the store. I'm sure I'll venture in there one day and take a look for myself.
DeleteIn 2006 I found out that I had a cluster of cysts around the base of my spine. I had them removed, leaving a 6-inch-long open wound on my lower back which, due to poor treatment by one of my doctors, took almost 2 entire years to fully heal. In essence, I spent about 18 months with a 2 inch hole in my back that had to be regularly treated with silver nitrate (see: cauterizing acid) on a weekly basis. For long periods during those 2 years I couldn't be in a seated position for more than a few minutes at a time, so I spent a lot of time laying in bed.
my parents aren't vegetarians either and they love Wegmans too! although my dad used to shop at Tops sometimes but my mom is a Wegmans devotee pretty much. plus the FOOD BAR!!! people slicing up fish and shit right there and then you take your buffet stuff upstairs and sit down to eat. it's pretty cool. plus Wegmans store brand Raisin Bran is by far the best version of raisin bran.
Deletei'm having deja vu about your back issue but that is intense, man. that sounds crazy and brutal, you're a total trooper to get through that. wow. how did you first find out the cysts were there? and i'm no doctor so maybe it'll all sound like mumbo jumbo but how the hell does a doctor screw up so bad that the wound won't even heal on its own? how does that happen??? dang...
This may turn out to be a bit too gross for the comment thread of a podcast, but you asked:
DeleteI first discovered the cysts when I was talking to one of my housemates at the Kubert school and I leaned my back up against a wall. I had the sensation of liquid running down my ass, so I went into the bathroom and found an hole in my back leaking blood.
After the first surgery my original doctor kept telling me that everything was fine during all of my check-ups and that I would be healed up in no time. After about a year with no change to my back and him telling me the same thing all the time, I went to a different doctor who not only found another cyst in there, but was the one who finally started me on the silver nitrate treatments, which are what finally did the trick over the next several months. The original doctor just had me packing medicinal gauze into the wound on a daily basis.
oh man, that is intense!!!!!! O_O holy crap.
DeleteI'M BACK!
ReplyDeleteI just burned through 4 episodes (including Guy Tunes :o) and I loved them all. I've missed my internet pals. I've got an hour plus commute and you guys make it feel like 15 minutes. Thanks!
We have the mighty Stop & Shop here in RI & MA.
I really liked 21 Jump Street. it was one of those nothing else out, but rare movie opportunity with wife. I think we laughed every scene and hadn't seen a comedy that good in a while.
Keep it up!
Thanks Nico! Glad you are back listening!
