My New Nightmare: To Drown in Pool of Chevre

I have a pretty sad story. When? Saturday morning? Where? At home. Set the scene: Me, my kitchen, really excited that I had bought, and so could eat oatmeal.

If this was a book, a smart reader would have fortold doom when I decided, after carefully preparing my non instant oatmeal, to put a dollop of yogurt on top. Not just any yogurt though, my new goat's milk yogurt.

If you had told me a week ago that there would ever be a meal that couldn't be approved by some melted goats cheese, I would have laughed in your face. Chocolate cake? MMM. Kiwis? Tangy. Tuna? Delish.

I would have been wrong though, because oatmeal with cinnamon and cardamon is NOT improved by the addition of goat yogurt, which, let me tell you, tastes EXACTLY like melted chevre. Oh My Yuck.

I hope I can spare you the pain of making a similar sad decision, when you were so excited to eat your formerly delicious smelling yogurt on a cold (let's be fair, cool) weekend morning.

In other sad news, several of you have recently asked me for photographic updates, and yes the majority of you are people who, while on facebook, are perheps less likely to login 3 times a day like the rest of us. Anyways, my answer is here, and it is: they are on facebook, of course.

Facebook and my Political Identity

Like many others, I am upset and angered by the legislation recently passed in Arizona which requires police officers to demand proof of citizenship from those they suspect to be illegal immigrants. Like even more others, I sometimes find it necessary to express my political opinions by joining exactly the right snarkily named facebook group. I have already joined this group, which does a good job of getting across my basic opinion about this law, but I want to join another group to more fully articulate my position, preferably one with a witty or at least memorable title. I can't really find any appropriate contenders - and can't think of exactly the right group to start. Any ideas?

dire straights

1. What am I going to do without Tam Tams?
2. I have been challenged to a game of Scrabulous by someone who I really want to beat. What are the ethics of cheating? Is it worse if I do it a lot than if I just do it once or twice?
3. I think you should know whats going on in Zimbabwe. You should read more. And maybe read a little about South Africa to figure out whats going on with the local superpower.
