Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Punishingly Intricate

I had a totally old fashioned lunch--salmon cakes, coleslaw, mashed potatoes, white bread & butter. Delicious but so bad for me!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

We had a black lab as a kid, and my parents had read/decided that a good way to train her (aka stop the destruction) was to tie whatever she destroyed around her neck (it was the early 70s--don't ask).

I remember this happenening with several shoes, and some clothes, etc.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I finally got my lunch -- dumpling soup. It was delicious, totally hit the spot, and now makes me want to nap.

2.5 more hours to work!!! Or "work," as the case may be -- I just watched an adorable video of my coworker's nieces and nephew wishing us a Happy Chanukah.

Spam Musubi, Obama's Hawaiian Lunch: History, Recipes, Video

On Sunday a New York Times pool reporter disclosed that Barack Obama ordered "spam musubi" for lunch during a golf outing in Hawaii.

Mainlanders may be unfamiliar with the local delicacy. According to the pool report, "spam musubi, a local luncheon specialty, consists of spam and a fried egg on a bed of rice, all held together with a dried seaweed wrap. (Visualize a very big sushi role, slightly larger than a Hostess Ho Ho.)"

Here's a little history on the Hawaiian love affair with Spam, sometimes referred to as "The Hawaiian Steak." According to Wikipedia, Hawaii consumes the most Spam per capita in the United States, and it was first introduced to the island during World War II.
