i) I cooked a world class Thai curry but fucked my thumb up a bit chopping the Lemongrass. The pain of chilli and ginger in a small, deep cut is absolutely exquisite.



ii) UK residents - look that the moon! it's ENORMOUS. Ridiculous! my yard is lit up and the cats are going mental.

iii) As if you can't tell already I've drunk a bit of wine. Burning Magnesium is fun!

I decided to stop lurking around here and registered.

I am thinking I need to an avatar to fit in.

Welcome!

I went to the Masonic Lodge today.

It was very strange inside. Very old man.

The Masons were very nice to me.

It is beautiful tonight. Please be assured that brother moon is not passing this English night unappreciated.

There is a rather eccentric homeless man known to anyone who frequents the Mission District of San Francisco that dresses like an aging member of Warrant and plays his (incredibly fucked up) folk songs on his (completely out of tune) guitar. A sample of lyrics: "Spider Man, Spider Man, doing whatever Spider Man does, fly in the air, I don't care, Spider Man, Spider Man."

He often "rests" a few houses down from mine, talking to anyone that goes by, often teasingly, always very funny. Tonight as I walked by he was yelling at some homeless latinos across the street "Mi casa su casa, pendejo motherfuckers!!!" When I came back an hour later there was an ambulance outside and one of the latino men was in handcuffs in a cop car. I hope everyone is ok.

Interesting--as did I. A friend was involved in a lodge's 50th anniversary, so I was invited to the dinner. Interesting people. Bagpipes. Haggis (surprisingly good). A fine time was had by all.

Holy synchronicity, Batman!

Were they as insistent with you about "having no secrets" as they were with me?

I have to admit, I kept singing that Buzzmuscle song to myself every time they talked about "Brothers of the Craft" and such.

The rooms I went into reminded me of casinos. Strange light, no windows, no clocks.

This thread needs more Hitlers.

Probably not. It did come up, and that's pretty much what they said, but I wouldn't call it insistent. On the other hand, yeah, no windows and a casino-like ambience.

I didn't encounter any. It was a lot more Scottish than Germanic in character; make of that what you will.

Good lord, why?

Because Giuseppe Garibaldi was born in Nice and there still is a district of Nice which is called Garibaldi today. Does it seem more meaningful to you now?

daniel robert chapman wrote:Congratulations on the win! As well as keeping up with the Nice updates, will you post the Garibaldi results in the soccer thread? These forums could use a pet soccer team, it may as well be in France!

Thank you!
I will post the Garibaldi results in the football thread if you find an interest in them but I must warn you before: our results may drive you deseperate as we are really bad. I will post the link to the club website too once it's updated.
