Holy Shit!

Just saw pics of the tanker that blew on the I80 in Oakland, what a mess!! I hope no one was hurt and no one I know has to make that commute!

sometimes life has themes, lately mine are food and weddings.

oh, and ants.

The end of it all

This week was a test. I came home to swarms of flying ants in my kitchen, oozing out of the electrical sockets and my shower head. I had a chemistry midterm that had me sweating at the mere thought of it, my computer was dead and Internet too, and my check engine light came on. Luckily its now the weekend, I got my oil changed, the light went off, I think I did quite well on the exam, obviously my Internet is up(thanks Cy!) and well, the swarms of flying ants and I are co-habitating nicely and starting to get used to each other. My homeopathic ant remedies aren't quite keeping them as at bay as I was hoping. Any and all suggestions welcome before I bring out the big guns. Long week, now its sunny, time for reading in the hammock and... aaahhh margaritas!

EAT LOCAL!

I just started the Super Budget 2007(will tell more later), and with this, some lifestyle changes. I have very little to spend, but I want to pay more attention to what I buy(i think that was a pun!). So the goal is to only buy necessities, only buy things that come in 100% recyclable packaging, and use everything I buy. Seems like common sense but, we do crazy things for convenience. I knew someone once whose dad didn't have a garbage can, everything was supposed to be recycled. I want this. I have a long way to go. Lucky for me a new store opened up a few blocks away called Eat Local. Its amazing. To start all the food comes from within 100 miles or so. Its prepared and frozen to take home and enjoy in either returnable glass or recyclable plastic. The store is beautiful, several freezers line the walls stocked with exquisite eats from hand made baby foods to entrees, salads, soups, & desserts. Lots of good vegi and vegan options. They also make their own granola, juices and so on. One of the best parts is that Nikki McClure has done all of the art and labels for the the store putting the refining touches on something great. Here's what I got today. The Pot Pie was $10, the Cabbage $6, should be enough for 2 which I think is a great price.More Eat Local info here

best first day ever

Woke up this morning to Elliot Smiths Coming Up Roses, thought I was still dreaming, the best wake up song ever! I think the first day of school will be ok. I love KEXP.
