A short list of not-so random thoughts
1. Why do king size sheets come with king size pillow cases? What the hell is a king size pillow and who actually has these?
2. Why do so many tea kettles have plastic parts? I mean, I'm going to melt it off, it's going to happen, it always does.
3. Seamless Web, an online service that lets you order food from restaurants in NY and other major cities, is giving away $100 in free food to anyone who blogs about why they love Seamless (they have some rules about what kind of blog so read those before you do it). I love Seamless, and I'm not just saying that for the free food (although, yes, I'm saying it here for the free food). Their selection is good, they keep your credit card on file and there's little chance for error. But my favorite thing about Seamless is that I don't have to talk to anyone when placing an order. Click, click, submit. Awesome.

4. My delicious boyfriend is taking me to Babbo tonight. I've never been, mostly because it's near-impossible to get in, and am very excited.
5. I can't believe Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman broke up. I thought those two crazy kids were going to make it.

I think Scalinatella is a million times better than Il Mulino with the same 'no menu' feel. Yes, Dawn, I still owe you a dinner there.

I think we're doing the pasta tasting.

Posted by: Farkle McBride at July 25, 2008 01:25 PMMy parents always had king-size pillows. Two regular pillows on a king bed look tiny and weird. (My mom was Martha before Martha was Martha, and she would totally care if the pillows looked weird.)
They're about 1/3 longer.
What's wrong with Kosher Chinese? Although I think it's quite often redundant.
Posted by: Tanya at July 25, 2008 02:06 PMI have king sized pillows! Basically, they're just wider pillows so that two cover the width of the bed. One benefit: if you're short they're almost like body pillows.

Posted by: bryan at July 25, 2008 07:19 PMWow -- no such conveniences as seamless food here in the middle of Wyoming. :( Sounds fantastic though!
