I’m from Alabama! I grew up there and went to Auburn, and then promptly moved to Boston for grad school and stayed.

Whatever, I work in book publishing and I still prefer my Kindle. DON’T TELL ANYONE.

Briscoe and Green! (Jerry Orbach and Jesse L. Martin, respectively.) I am all about the original series.

Cosign! The donuts are awful.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, because I am way behind the trends even though I work in book publishing for a living. Who knew ethics standards for medical practice and research were so appalling even after […]

I started 1Q84 a while ago, and ugh, some really disgusting stuff starts going on about halfway though. I didn’t know what I was getting into, and I don’t think I’m going to finish it.

I recently read the first […]

I bought the humble ebook bundle, too, and am looking forward to that and the Neil Gaiman and Cory Doctorow. Old Man’s War is supposed to be one of the best sci fi novels–I heard about it on that giant flowchart […]

1. Doctor Who (because obviously)
2. Burn Notice
3. White Collar
4. Lie to Me
5. Nikita

Just started watching: Scandal, Alphas, Alias. I can’t get enough crime/spy dramas and police procedurals. I’m […]

OMG DAVID TENNANT YES. I hope he makes your whole world better. He can do that.

I just devoured the 7-episode debut season of Scandal on Netflix and am looking forward to it starting back up in a couple weeks.

Also guilty pleasures Nikita and Burn Notice later in the season.

I second you on Grimm and fantasy and procedural dramas.

Congrats to you! I also just started biking to work a few weeks ago, and it’s been a bit challenging but mostly rewarding. I live almost 10 miles from work, but there’s a decent bike path along a river for at […]

Seconded. I just started riding my bike to work in Boston/Cambridge, where cycling is kind of starting to become popular. The exercise of choice here seems to be running. There’s a great bike path along the […]

Grocery list apps are one of my favorite things ever. I’ve used Kitchen Monki (free) with great success. It builds a shopping list from recipes you enter or select from shared recipes in the community (and there […]

Also! Cashews! You can blend raw, unsalted cashews into liquid-y things (like soup and sauces) to thicken them up. Alternatively, soak some cashews in water for a few hours, then blend them up to make cashew […]
