Shapeling BlueRain points out that in my last post I was unfair to okara, the main ingredient in the Magical Diet Cookies. She notes:
Okara (as well as Shirataki mentioned in someone’s comment upthread) is a traditional food item in Japanese cuisine, and having it appropriated as “low-fat/low-cal miracle diet food” is offensive enough, but having [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=3842&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

When a friend of my mom&#8217;s asked her about &#8220;that thing all women can do, and some men,&#8221; it turned out he meant hanging your sunglasses off the collar of your shirt. But when my husband talks about &#8220;that thing all girls know&#8221; he means hand jives (otherwise known as clapping games, hand games, handclaps, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=3735&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Shapelings, it&#8217;s a busy week for us: deadlines hover, paid writing gigs dance seductively, academia bellows its call of war. In other words, have an open thread. Happy Friday!

FJ and I have been roommates twice, once at nerd camp and once at college. You&#8217;re probably not surprised to hear this, since we clearly have a lot in common (even if our sleep cycles differ). We did the usual college roomie things: swapped clothes, listened to music too loud, had midnight snacks, got the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=3556&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Happy weekend, Shapelings! Have an open thread. And have a hilarious video from the cast of The Guild, starring Felicia Day (from The Guild, natch, Dr. Horrible, and the last season of Buffy).

If I&#8217;m gonna have that in my head all weekend, so will you. Behold the power of blogging!

Let&#8217;s face it: we need some fluff this week. It&#8217;s Friday, we&#8217;re more than halfway through 2009, and a lot of people are trying to make the world more miserable, as if it needed any help. I suggest a Bring Your Own Friday Fluff thread.
Here are some things that make me laugh.

As I mentioned the other day, this Talk of the Town column about Paul Giamatti is easily the best example of the genre I have ever read. People in the comments to this post are encouraging me to write a scathing letter to the New Yorker about Kolbert&#8217;s article; I&#8217;m more inclined to write them [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=3360&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Does anyone remember the episode of Family Ties where Elise and Stephen Keaton go out of town and leave Alex in charge?  And he turns the place into a cozy little B&#38;B called Keaton Manor, and rents out rooms?

Okay, I am in no way promising that this will happen soon, but it occured to me that, what with how hilarious y&#8217;all are, and how attention to The Book is getting us new readers, we might be in need of a blog lexicon for our shorthand, jokes, etc. Some of them are used all [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=3025&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
