    Your MLB team

    They interviewed Sandy Alomar and Francona last I heard...weren't going to be interviewing anyone else. Haven't heard anything on a final decision but my inner child SO wants them to hire Sandy....he was my hero when I was little and the Indians didn't suck.

    Any Game of Thrones Fans???

    SO excited for this to start on Sunday!! I have only seen the tv series, but it really makes me want to pick up the books. I think reading it would almost make it easier for me to learn who is who in the zoo. Also, the Targaryan girl is really starting to grow on me as a favorite character...

    Which International News Source Do You Subscribe To?

    Definitely the BBC, they have a really easy to use app. I also like The Economist, but I read the actual magazine and hardly every open the app. They always do cool special features, and they cover stuff from just about everywhere. I'll also listen to the NPR news updates on the hour if I'm in...

    Hunger Games

    I tore through the first two books and I'm still waiting to get the third, probably from the library, since I don't want to buy it in hardback. They're easy reads, yes, but that doesn't mean that they're bad. And unlike Twilight, the focus is all about teenage romance and love triangles and blah...

    Reeses

    Big fan. I'm very methodical about how I eat them. However, my absolute favorite variant, that I even like better than the original, is the Reese's egg! It's big and slightly less chocolate than normal, which I am all about.

    What are you reading, Chapter 2

    I'm on the second book of the Hunger Games trilogy. They're easy, well-paced, interesting books. Can't wait for the movie. Next is either going to be the Game of Thrones series and The World According to Garp.

    Women.. I don't understand them

    Exactly. Like every single person on this planet has preferences for food, colors, basses, etc. it's going to be the same with what you want out of a relationship.

    Women.. I don't understand them

    I think the problem is that the word change has such a negative connotation. It doesn't have to be bad. And sometimes it would have happened anyway, regardless of whether the woman were involved or not. It's just frustrating to hear that general opinion of women is that we're totally...

    NPR is retracting the entire Apple-China story!

    And at least the majority of their shows have guests from both sides who actually discuss events and don't yell over each other. For the most part its a well-moderated station.

    Women.. I don't understand them

    Not all women like having a project. In the words of Dan Savage, if you want a male companion you can groom and castrate, get a dog. Now, that's not saying that two people in a relationship can't help each other and make each other better people, but I can't stand to read this and hear...

    Who is with me?

    I'm 23 and I use a smart phone. I have found that I love being able to look something up if I can't remember it, I can make a make-shift grocery list or to-do list on my phone, or add something to a calendar in my phone so that I don't forget about it. Of course, I go back and all these things...

    The Mixed Drinks Thread

    Love mojitos and bloody marys. I also can dig a margarita on a hot summer day, but I like them better without the crushed ice and little on the tart side. and I'll drink a cosmo every now and then. A regional favorite of mine is a Dark n' Stormy, which is Gosling's Black Seal Rum and ginger...

    unusual music you're into

    Man Man, Mr. Bungle, and Laurie Anderson are three mentioned in here that I really enjoy. This thread immediately made me think of Oh Superman. What an awesome song. Ratatat is another band that some find unusual--I think they're very catchy and listenable, but I've had others say it...

    This Is What Crazy Looks Like Via Text Messaging.

    I really wouldn't say that it's easier for men to do that than it is for women. I would probably say that men are more likely to do it because they can't get pregnant.
