Whenever I walk past a certain area outside our staff carpark I am overwhelmed by overpoweringly thick sweet scent. Someone spilled either a thousand bottles of maple syrup or a couple of bags of fenugreek.
Finished watching Barbie as our TV time movie. I love how it’s so subtle at times and then hitting-you-over-the-head overt at others. Of course, I had to get the kids to rewind the Steve Malkmus/Pavement bit so I could watch it again. I bounced off Slanted and Enchanted pretty hard when it first came out and passed up the chance to see them live on that tour, missing out on what I’ve been told was an awesome version of Fillmore Jive. The lyrics and music just seemed too crystalline for me at the time. Pockets full of rocks and sand? No, thanks. I was much more comfortable paddling in the shallow waters of Mascisy self effacement.
Here’s a hot potato tip. If you’re boiling some little baby potatoes, don’t leave them boiling for an hour. Even if you have pierced them with a fork, they will split open. Oh well, live and learn.
Here’s a hot photo tip. If you go out to take pictures, make sure your camera has an SD card in it and the battery is charged. I went out yesterday and had to use the slow SD card from another camera and then the battery ran out in about ten minutes. Oh well, live and learn.
