I read yesterday that Blogger now provides Atom feeds and realized I should update QueerFilter to parse those feeds. After checking up on the weblog of the guy who wrote the Magpie RSS parsing library I use, I discovered he had just posted a new Atom-enabled version that very morning. I only had to change a few lines of my code and QF was back in business.

Find your best presidential candidate match. I must be far more liberal than I realize, because I matched Kucinich 100% (and matched Sharpton at 96%). Bush was a surprisingly-high 12% match.

I’ve been looking to buy some new cutlery, but I haven’t liked any of the patterns I’ve seen so far. But the really annoying thing is that all the knives, forks, and spoons I’ve seen for sale are gigantic. Like too - heavy - to - lift - off - the - table, too - big - to - fit - in - my - mouth enormous. Have I mistakenly been shopping in Big & Tall kitchen stores?

Or am I shrinking? Now that I’ve become a little more fashion conscious after moving to NYC, I’m trying to replace my baggy Midwestern wardrobe with more flatteringly cut garments. But while I used to buy size-large shirts, I now find that even “smalls” are sometimes too big. Maybe I should start shopping in the kid’s clothing section like my boyfriend…

I was particularly upset to learn that Jeff gets his new New Yorker every week on Tuesday, while I get mine on Wednesdays. What’s the point of living in Manhattan if I get the New Yorker the day after people in fucking New Jersey?
