Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The Trader Joe's mango is what we call "fresh" but not in a good way. Do American's say that? To mean somewhat bland and flavourless? It's also not ripe enough. It's literally, LITERALLY, the worst mango I've ever tasted.

Now that I don't exercise, I only tend to use my most recent iPod.

The status is NOT quo.

ita, my first experience with mangoes was fresh cut from a tree in Jamaica where my family was staying, and though Trader Joe's can't compete, I can say that I have had really good mangoes in the States. I suspect you got a particularly bad specimen.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh, Burrell, I'm glad you like the Gemma. It's definitely on my list for later. Right now I have on Nubar Noir layered with the silver glitter from the polish box, for maximum stage sparkly on Saturday. It came out great, if a little uneven on the glitter.

I was not productive yesterday. But I have been today so far. Dishes and laundry in, trash out, freezer and fridge cleared (still need to be wiped down), showerhead soaking in vinegar. Resting now waiting for period meds to kick in, and then tackling the master bedroom/bathroom.

Because books.

We had a mango tree in our backyard in Florida, and they were delicious. But I've never had a Jamaican one.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What 160,000 pounds of industrial printer ink looks like on a highway

All you wanted to do was have a smooth commute this morning but of course it takes you an addition two hours because of an overturned tracker-trailer, what a way to start the day right? Well this morning outside of Boston, we can imagine commuters were rubber-necking more than usual as they got to see one hell of a sight . . . 160,000 pounds of industrial printer ink splattered over a 500 foot stretch of road…

Art Crawl!!!

Oh, they must ship them green and then they never fully ripen. Lots of fruit with that problem.

Whew! I just did my second ever bikram yoga class. It was slightly better than the first one (if only because I wore a bandana instead of the headband thing which gave me a headache).

I bought a papaya at TJ's yesterday. It was not as ripe as I had hoped.

The chai oolong I bought yesterday was disappointing. I will have to brew it for less long next time.

I tossed that cup, and am trying the tropical rooibos. It smells delicious.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, I just went for a crazy-ass walk. Now I'm counting underwear and thinking I don't really need to do laundry after all....
