Why can't movies in the States be set up this way?  -And cost only $3.00 too!

I am so glad DR Sandra is not graduating from ASU today. Obama is the speaker, and Tempe is a mess. The light rail runs right through a corner of the campus, so it will be closed. No bottled water is allowed in the outdoor stadium. It is about 100F.

Here's something happening all this week at the library from which I retired:

http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid1418565565?bctid=22941658001

This is very cool.  A few years ago, there was a demonstration here in Olympia and afterwards, people could take some of the sand as a memento in tiny vials that they provided.

That's a fabulous talent those men possess.  I wonder if they do cakes, too!

Maybe...for the right price.  Those mandalas are not supposed to be permanent, so why not?? ;)

OH!  It seems that the TwitPic links may be "expiring" like they are want to do, so...

My apologies for any question marks and red X's that may be appearing.

However, if you go to http://twitpic.com/4z5bf you can then click-thru some pictures using the thumbnails on the right-hand side.

Well... I believe that after trying balut last night... For the time in my life... I can deal with a wild monkey or two.


*And, PLEASE, if you don't know or remember what balut is, it's probably best not to Google for it.

**But I will say that most of the pictures of balut make it look a lot uglier than it actually looks.  I think. :-\

Have no fear....I totally know...and remember...what balut is and looks like...and smells like and TASTES like.

All right, I'll bite (into one of those Krispy Kremes!) -- do they taste like Krispy Kremes made in the U.S.?

I ask because of all the "name-brand" vendors that used to set up pierside when the carriers pulled into ports during WestPacs....not one of 'em ever tasted like the real thing (and I'm talkin' Pizza Hut, KFC, Wendy's, Popeye's, etc.)

Well... As for balut...

It didn't smell at all - at least not off-puttingly so.  -I did learn last night that there is a version balut that is also salted and slightly preserved, now that stuff smells(!!!).  Otherwise, good balut is prepared fresh - the ones that were brought over last night were still warm from being cooked.

As for the taste... It tasted like a hard-boiled egg and chicken.  Really over-cooked egg and over-cooked chicken.  It was the texture at times that got to me, if you get my drift.

'Nuff said.

Yes, the Krispy Kremes taste like the real thing.  They've been become quite popular here in the Philippines, and unlike Dunkin', they cost about the same as their American counterpart - almost $1.00 US per doughnut.

Well, I've napped, been to Staples, and I guess I'm ready for my walk, the post office and the market.

The postman delivered my next novel, THE PRINCESS AND THE GOBLIN, a lesbian roman a clef based on the careers of Mary Martin and Jean Arthur.

Who is the princess and who is the goblin?

And I always thought it was Mary Martin and Janet Gaynor. Why else would they move out to wilds of Brazil (with their husbands Gaynor's being Adrian) and live next door to each other? And eventually near each other in Palm Springs
