Cool things I did this weekend:

- made pumpkin spice challah french toast (by which I mean, I cut the bread and let Dan do all the rest)
- played the didgeridoo for the first (and hopefully not the last) time - courtesy of tim_dodge- made bath salts and a yummy smelling candle (which apparently now make the house smell like Record and Tape Traders) - ( Read more... )

brilliantlover suggested to me, re: my last post, that while most of Pink Floyd is total shit, Dark Side of the Moon is still a valid excuse for music. This may be true, except for one thing.

But that's not what I was concerned about anyway. Whatever. But still, i t was eery to realize ( Read more... )

Man, I just joined Pandora tonight, on recommendation of my manager, Amy. I may never leave my house. I typed in "Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan," wanting to hear some more in that style... and I'm really impressed with the quality of the radio station that has been evolving through my "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" picks. I kept hearing about the program, ( Read more... )
