Friction, Baby is Here

Image
Happy. Happy. Happy. This time, it arrived just 8 days with amazon's expedited shipping. And yes, that's it for this year's amazon buys and sending it here. Will build up my GC balance for my darlings' Christmas gifts from now on. Better Than Ezra's Friction, Baby is amazing. I highly recommend it. And I'm off to music bliss...

YC Pizza

Last night's dinner... I still think that Yellow Cab pizzas lean toward the greasy side. But they are tasty -- except the one with shrimp... blech! Hopefully, they don't have that shrimp pizza on the menu anymore.

Vienna Sausage, Cable Shopping

Image
Vienna sausages leave much to be desired but when fried up, some improvement in the texture make them OK to eat - not great, but OK. But I also dollop about half a teaspoon of UFC banana ketchup on it with each bite so... I don't know what these sausages are good for except when you're in a rush to eat. Oh, wait - they're good for tomato sauce for spaghetti! Or is it... hmmm. Anyway, having a hard time looking for a usb cable online (local shops that deliver, of course). The places I know don't sell anything less than 5 meters. See, at that length or longer than that, the extension would have to have a signal booster or accelerator or repeater to sustain proper transfer speed (a.k.a. active usb extension). I figure that I can make do with a usb port hub with a cable that's 3 feet/1 meter long 'cause that's what they have, mostly. But I can't find anything that looks safe to use, sadly. I just have to keep looking.

Shiny Laswa

Laswa lunch today. It's basically boiled vegetables in a semi-clear(?) soup. Liked how this turned out - notice the dotted shine from the flash? The soup was "sappy" 'cause of the okra. This was flavored with salt and dried fish that you don't see but they're there, on the bottom of the bowl.
