Just for fun...

[Poll #605482]

To explain: I often have problems in Boston with milk, like the following conversation:

Me: I'd like a Chai with nonfat milk, please.

Barista Boy: Oh, sorry, we don't have skim milk.

Me: Um...

BB: We have regular milk, soy milk, and fat free milk.

Me: Ok, I'll take fat free milk.

BB: Really? OK.

So I asked some Boston-ites about this, and apparently here skim=1% low-fat=2% and nonfat is called fat free. Kinda like how a milkshake doesn't contain ice cream and chocolate sprinkles are called Jimmies. The first woman I talked to actually asked me what we call 1% on the west coast, since we don't call it skim. Um... 1%?

A hat for Brit!

The Britpop hat is done!



I'm channeling my inner grunge girl. (Hee... Nirvana just came on iTunes as I was typing that!) No, wait, I'm thinking of when he heartlessly dumped me at the age of 13. Ok, ok, I'm just trying not to look like an idiot while taking a picture of myself in the bathroom mirror. On a Friday night. With no one here but me and my cats...
