I've never been, but I've heard it is lovely. I'd like to go some day. I will have to wait until I strike it rich some how.

Am I the only one who is more concerned with the active volcano than the loss of a plane flight? I'm not expecting the Tambora eruption, but the earth is a churnin'.
Comets and Asteroids from space, disease, war, climate change, crime, accidents. Every day lived is lucky. One doesn't always feel that way. There are over two million unemployed in ( Read more... )

I don't see why Masa harina isn't available in every supermarket in the world. It's good for you, and it has a a lot of uses. Any country which has vegetarians, vegans or tacos for that matter, should have the stuff right next to the chapati flour.
A recipe I haven't tried yet: pancakes. Yes, there is a recipe for pancakes the only difference ( Read more... )

I know, I know! I mean to write, a lot, but never seem to get in front of a computer for recreational purposes for more than a few minutes a week. Ironic really. At work, even when I am not running around helping people, my internet surfing is confined to a few minutes, in which I usually either surf for news, directions, or something work ( Read more... )

I've had this journal for six years? Holy crap!
I can't even remember where I was six years ago. It's all been a blur, the time in between.
I guess that is what journal is for, I could go back and look at the entries, kind of like the restore points in the System Restore function of Windows XP. Was that around six years ago?
In life, you can't ( Read more... )

Yes. Linkin Park is a preferable name for a band than Hybrid Theory, which is a fitting name for an album. The idea of being a hybrid band is no longer a novelty if it was when I first heard of the band. Like a lot of bands which have a similar style to other bands, I think they do it better than others. I really liked Faith No More way back ( Read more... )

BAFTA Buzz for Bond? Bitchin'.
I love the theme song and I loved the intro sequence. I'd love to see the film again for the style alone.
There is one thing about the theme song though, I love it, often listen to it on the train, but it is by Chris Cornell and it is titled, "You Know My Name." No, no we don't. To many of us, you are the Black ( Read more... )

Yes, indeed, I have not posted for awhile. I am learning to regard time in a different manner, luckily from humorous means. These days my canons have have a giggle attached to them. There is no other way to regard how small we are in the universe. If you have the means, I recommend Bill Bryson's "A Short History of Nearly Everything." I read ( Read more... )

Big sports fan, me. The only one I never really followed to closely was American football, but then I was born and raised in Arizona. It was a long time before we had any professional sports teams. The Cardinals move from St. Louis to Arizona did not do much to increase the hype. It is a bizarre place to try and be a fan of the home town teams ( Read more... )

What is it about a spatula? My parents had the same spatula for twenty five years. That's great, but when the handle burned off, it probably wouldn't be that difficult to get a suitable replacement. Let a new era in spatula ownership begin, perhaps one that last another quarter century. But instead, if I visited their home now, I'd bet it is ( Read more... )
