Food Post, Coast to Coast

[ecid]

I got two gift certificates with my paycheque today, totalling $50. Being the irresponsible card that I am, I blew it all on vegetables right away. The fresh snow peas, bamboo shoots, onion sprouts, green peppers etc.. that I'd been brooding over jealously for months were suddenly within my grasp, and costs be damned, I shamelessly grabbed at

I'm always up bright and early until 7ish. Sleeping at night is for the weak... and the sane. It is good to hear from you. Your magnetism pulls me even now, slamming me repeatedly against my bedroom wall.

I will briefly review each site in order:

1. He certainly uses a lot of commas. I, for one, see the similarity.
2. My LJ computer has an inoperative sound card, but visually they were stunning. Especially that kid eating an apple in the job.
It wasn't green, but that's just a matter of editing.
3. Whoah. There are naked people on this site, some without even the decency to wear skin. Where did you find this immoral trash?*
4. I like his zombies, especially his venerable Moon Man. And hey! he did a Mind's Eye animation. I used to be obsessed with that stuff before George Lucas ruined CG animation for me

...Dr. Pepper? In stirfry?

Mr. Tom...you have some interesting cooking methods :P

It Carmelized

I usually use coke, but a good stirfry needs spice. Carmelized spice.

[poetx]

Carmelized spice eh? ;)

Tom, Linda says you're reading "The Satanic Verses". Are ya?

I've about 80 pages into it and as much as I'm enjoying it, it's quite the daunting, and very long book to read. I'm thinking of putting it down and reading it another time.

Satanic Verses

[ecid]

I read it a few years ago, then lost it in a hostage-exchange like book lending arrangement that went bad about a year ago. If you're reading it because you heard of the whole Ayatollah Khomeini thing and you want to see some offensive bits, (I did) then don't bother. I'm a huge fan of religious writing but the revisionist history dream sequences bored me. I think Khomeini was secretly just a fan who wanted to help boost Rushdie's sales; Islam is such a patriarchal religion that I can't see how they could really be such pussies about this tame stuff.

The only thing that kept me reading were the two main characters, Farishta and Chamcha. Their backstories were great and they were fleshed out in a way that enabled me to visualize them immediately.
Unfortunately their fun diminishes a bit when they mutate and get super powers, though the narrator's frequent observation on Chamcha's giant devil dong are good for a laugh.

..."Ayatollah Khomeini"

huh?

baking powder?

(I have no clue what you're talking about Tom)

Baking Powder?

Imam Khomeini was the guy who issued a fatwa on Rushdie in response to his "blasphemous" book in 1989. An assistant to the Imam also offered a 1 million dollar reward to whomever kills him. This reward coupled with the obvious promise to go straight to heaven has forced Rushdie to live in hiding for 15 years so far.
