I concur on the Cholula. It’s a staple in the Overking pantry. I used to be a Crystal hot sauce guy, but the ‘Lula has a tanginess that’s addictive.

Nicotine lozenges - I keep under the coffee table with the intention to quit smoking someday. Then the cherry goodness made my mouth numb, and I realized that if I did this more often, I’d be replacing one bad habit with yet another. So they sit there, waiting their turn.

Blog stats - Yep, although I mainly keep track for work stuff…I use statcounter.

Now & Laters - Hated them then, still hate ‘em now. But I do remember them littering your apt. and thinking it was odd

Nice, Bill, I’ll have to try that. Is it in stores at all, or do you have to order it online?

Susan, you lucked out - I read your comment after proofing a particularly terrible couple of pages this morning. You know how your pupil constricts in sunlight and then you walk into a dark room and can’t make out any details of your surroundings? That’s what it was like. My editing pupil was constricted by a blazing supernova of grammatical inadequacy.

my favorite hot sauce of the moment is Rancho Gordo’s “Gay Caballero” hot sauce. Not insanely spicy but it’s genuinely delicious.

I totally hear you on the Cholula. Two weeks ago, I was craving hot sauce daily. As a matter of fact, I finished it off. I’ll get a bottle of Cholula this weekend. I don’t think I’ll be dipping any peanuts, though.

I like Sugar Daddies too, but they feel like they’re yanking my teeth out. I prefer the Babies.

Peppermint-stick ice cream MUST be widely available around the winter holidays, no? I mean, good Lord, in NYC you haven’t seen any of that business? Crazy!

I’ll second SleekPelt on the coffee addiction. I guess my other current addictions would be any Law & Order show and Deadliest Catch.

Are you proofing this, Jeff?

I thought about adding coffee to my list, but these days I only drink one big mug of it in the morning. For someone who used to drink three pots a day, that’s practically abstinence. Now that smoking is gone too, my URL feels like more of a lie each day.

Oh, and The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest.
I usually come up with a handful of possibilities each week, and usually at least one that I’m comfortable with submitting. Unfortunately, I don’t seem to be addicted to actually submitting them, because I rarely do.

You gave up cigarettes and I was happy. If you’d given up Cholula, I’d be worried.

Some things I’ve been addicted to lately:

Before Sunset
I can’t get this movie out of my head. I mean, I watched the whole freaking thing on YouTube this weekend. On YouTube! Plus I downloaded the script.

Coffee
But I mean, who isn’t?

Vinyl
Just got a record player — an old Califone — and I’m loving it. Especially Billie Holliday and Melanie Safka.
