Not sure what caused the coconut milk purchase failure. At my grocery store it isn't near the condensed or powdered milk but in the "international" aisle.
Yeah, I was in the international aisle and thought I had the creamy stuff, but no, just the watery stuff. Frozen, it's mostly like water, and the coconut shreds and lime zest I added didn't do enough.
To be less roundabout, the problem with Florida Law is that essentially makes racism a legitimate reason to legally kill someone. It's a horrible verdict made even more horrible in that, under Florida Law, the jury's decision wasn't an outrageous interpretation of that Law.
Yeah, totally, 100%. The law is at least as outrageous as the rest of it.
At least my recent vacation affords me an avenue of protest over the recent Zimmerman verdict that will reach the ears of people far more powerful than the Florida legislature. My response to the offer for discounted vacation packages I just received:
Dear Disney Destinations,
I'm sorry, but now that it's been made clear that it's legal for paranoid vigilantes to stalk, harrass, and kill unarmed people in the state of Florida on the flimsiest of pretexts, I don't imagine I'll be enjoying another vacation at Walt Disney World anytime in the foreseeable future. I'll restrict my vacationing to places where I can feel more secure in my safety and the proper implementation of justice, like Mexico or the West Bank. Thanks for your generous offer just the same.
Best regards,

Popsicle report: coconut water does NOT work.
Thanks for reporting, I would have guessed it would have worked. My sister looooves coconut water (some particular coconut water, to be precise, we had to go find her brand so she could stock up for the drive home last time she visited), so I still might try it at some point, but I'll be braced for disappointment.
It froze fine, but didn't have much flavor.
Yeah, that's what I figured. Boiling it down to concentrate the flavor doesn't seem like a good idea, either, somehow.

She just said that her children are the wrong race to cause riots or social media campaigns if they get attacked, but that's the America they live in. I give up. This person is not worth arguing with.
They ARE the right race and gender to get help stealing bikes, however...

White guy steals bike: Pretty much ignored
Black guy steals bike: Stop him!
White chick steals bike: Maybe I can bone her...
I'll cheerfully chime in with that if you'd like :)
Learned today: it takes a looooooooooooooooooong time, but you can pet The Pumpk until she becomes overstimulated and gets all attacky. Loki just tends to go to sleep or run off. This differing reaction has generally been true of my experiences with girl vs boy kitties.
I'm so tired and disheartened that I can't even read or listen to more news about the trial. I just... can't. I felt like this when Bush was elected too.
I was trying to cheat the UCLA parking of my $12 so I parked on the exact opposite side of campus to where I needed to be. It meant I had to walk up and then down a medium sized hill to get where I was going and it took about 20 minutes to do so. I wish I had thought it all the way through because my clogs + barefeet + humid day = two large blisters.
Doh.
