I am sick, and The Girl is out doing the sound for one of her shows. Been having chills and stuff all day, but ignored it, 'cause EDS does funny things to your body most of the time anyway. But this is definitely something else. (If it's flu, I might cry. My family doctor is in Leeds, and I am in London.)
Going to lie back down now...!
Laura - re Time Traveller's Wife, posted in the movie thread earlier, when I could sit up to type. Will think it about it more when not sick. Lots of consider there, especially in terms of what the movie did with plot and character.
I am skipping 700 msgs and may never read them, i apologize for the oversight on my part on taking a week vacation with my mom.
Bonus: still alive after spending a week with my mom. We did fun touristy things in Victoria and multiple locations in and around Olympic Park. At my behest, we drove straight through Forks and DID NOT LOOK at any of the sparklestores. Sorry, it was enough to just be in the area, i could not handle the direct consumer interface. Then we spent an entire day looking at houses (her demand, not my request.) I have more time scheduled on monday to look at more houses with one of those real estate agent people who is supposed to help me do some of my massive massive home-purchase-related homework. buying a house is hhaaaard.
At the Safeway near me, it's kind of hit or miss whether they'll have tofu on a given day.
Well, they want the tofu to be fresh, and the Safeway Wild Tofu Hunters can't always guarantee that they'll be able to catch tofu every day.
What is the problem with Whole Foods? Yes, skippy girl. I go there pretty often.
I've been to Hil's Safeway. It is seriously substandard. (And the one in my neighborhood in DC used to be called the Soviet Subway, so when I say hers sucks ass, you know the scale I'm judging on.) More like a glorified White Hen or depanneur.
What is the problem with Whole Foods? Yes, skippy girl. I go there pretty often.
The CEO just published a really rightwing conservative harangue about health care and EFCA that was guaranteed to piss off most if not all of the chain's liberal clientele.
Feel better, Seska.
I just made a yellow squash, spinach, and white bean soup for dinner, sort of based on a recipe in this month's Vegetarian Times. It's really simple -- just yellow squash, spinach, white beans, onions, olive oil, vegetable broth, and lemon juice -- and it is so good. Just tastes perfectly summery.
That sounds awesome. I'll haave to try it out.
