The Rundown is a great choice; Walking Tall is only fun once you already love him for his superheroicness. Or go back to WWE pay-per-views of 2001/2002. He also has a small, rather odd role in Southland Tales.

This early? Hyacinths bloom in late March/early April. Daphne Mezereon might be what you're smelling, it's heavy and sweet and similar to hyacinth. Daphne was named after the nymph who was eaten by her mom.

Feb 3 alight commented on I Just Googled "Guacamole Secrets".

I like cumin and a bit of fresh moderately hot chile to be involved along with the avocado, onion, garlic, lime and salt. Dairy seems like a dumb thing to add to such a lovely rich fruit; it's not quite gilding the lily, because gilt is at least visible and I think sour cream would be invisible except in the total calorie count/fat content.
And I don't care whether it's smooth or chunky; it's kind of hard to fuck up avocado.

Jan 31 alight commented on Cheroots in Seattle?.

A very long time ago I bought a few things that looked like those and sound like what you describe in the smoke shop at Pike Place Market. That was like...'89, maybe? So it might not be too helpful.

I can't wait for this, Mark is a genius.
My mom and a cousin had a crazy funeral-planning fight over my grandmother; the cousin thought it really important that the casket have a pink velvet lining to match grandma's old lady orange hair. Mom thought that not only was that really dumb (who would see it?), but that it clashed horribly.
My ancestors are wackadoodle Mennonite folks for the most part, so I assume they're buried in the same ultra-plain handmade clothes they wore when alive. Never thought about it before.

I took them for granted, and then I moved to the Rainier Valley. "All over town except for the entire southeast quadrant" is more accurate when writing of their locations. The new Madison Park building looks great, though.

Nice headline, Charles.
WSU has a big grant to study quinoa in the US. They've got trial fields growing in WA, OR, ID and a fourth state, maybe MT?

Jan 14 alight commented on I'm a Supporter of Physician-Assisted Suicide....

I am generally in favor of letting adults choose their means of death when that is possible. Up to them, any family members they choose to include in the decision and their physician/s.

Jan 3 alight commented on Spike Lee Calls Django Unchained Disrespectful to His Ancestors.

Saw it last night and kept wondering what Nat Turner would think. I used to live down the street from where 30 or so of his fellow rebels were hanged. The tree (still living, and rather magnificently) features a heartbreaking commemorative plaque, and the street's name is Hanging Tree Road. The fantasy of the Django movie might be satisfying, or it might be disrespectful; I don't feel qualified to offer an opinion.
