On Remixes
I wonder, do musicians get offended if a remix of their song becomes more popular, or is better than the original? It’s pointing out that you lack refinement, and that someone else can do better with your material than you. Even worse, what if the original is unlistenable?
And while we're on the subject, I'd just like to say that it takes balls to do a remix of a song that has no words. It seems that the original and remix don't sound anything alike 85% of the time when this is the case. It's a remix in name only; natures way of letting an artist piggyback on a possibly more successful song.
The New Dining Adventure
It's rare that I recommend a restaurant, but seriously. We all need to go to
Bob's Grill: Eat & Get The Hell Out! Best.Name.Ever, except for maybe a place called the Fuck You Grill. Too bad that doesn't exist.
Thanksgiving Tips
Well, it’s almost time for Thanksgiving, so let’s talk turkey.
Turkey doesn’t have a lot of flavor on its own, but there is an easy fix: brine. Let your turkey marinate in brine overnight to 24 hours, and your turkey will have great flavor, and stay moist. Here’s a recipe:
http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_35141,00.html?rsrc=searchIf you’re thinking about frying your turkey, remember to have a fire extinguisher on hand, and do it in an open space. Frying won’t affect the fat content much. The additional fat in frying comes from two sources: fat absorbed by the coating on the food, and fat absorbed when the food is overcooked. Moist foods do not absorb much fat, but the fat gets sucked in as the water in the food disappears. Fry foods in oil that’s preheated at least 350 degrees, and make sure it's not overcooked. Fun fact: a KFC breast the skin and coating taken off after cooking has 3 grams of fat. With the skin and coating, there are 19 grams of fat.
Finally, the pilgrims celebrated the first thanksgiving with friends and family. If you’re not going to be with family, there’s no reason why you can’t celebrate with friends.

...an HDTV.
Pioneer has an article telling you how to convince your spouse to buy an HDTV. Note that they start with trying to convince a man, as if any man needs to be convinced to buy a piece of expensive electronics.
