I bought a Droid. It is pretty and shiny and I am unaccustomed to tech glee, but man. I like it, even if it did cost a lot.

Especially the "Yellow Submarine" bit. I guess the happy commodification of their catalog is working, because I really want to listen to all their ( Read more... )

I am fucking excited for this chicken biryani I am making, let me tell you. Also, shopping for spices in the bulk aisle of New Seasons is the best, even if saffron costs $10 for a tiny ziplock bag inside a much bigger jar. Also, I sliced up way more ginger than I needed, which is unfortunate but not really the end of the world. I mean, it was ( Read more... )
