Random things I like lately

'My Boom' as it were.

1) Pear jelly. Or, as the jar says 'Pear Williams' jelly. In Antique Bakery vol 1 they were serving scones with apple jelly, which intrigued me, but the closest I could find was pear. It's really good though.

2) French yogurt. Or I would, if I could find anything like it. I'm trying some Artisanal 'French Style' yogurt made here in Cali, but it's not quite the same.

2.5) other french things I'd love to have here: pots au chocolate, flower flavored syrups. The most amazing I ever found was lilac syrup. It tasted just like lilacs smell, it was incredible.

3) Daichi Miura's new single 'Your Love' featuring Kreva. I always hate comparisons like this, but seriously, if Usher and Lil' Wayne were Japanese, they would be Daichi and Kreva. (In fact, I think Kreva might actually be Lil Wayne in disguise. LOL)

4) Boa's new single 'Eien'. Boa is one of those artists who I never think about when I'm listing my favorites, and yet I have all her albums, and I love about 80% of her music. The b-side is a collaboration with Crystal Kay, and Verbal, which is great. (I always like Verbal's collaborations, he's a great rapper.)

Addendum to facebook rant

So, I still stand by what I said about FaceBook. But I am feeling slightly more charitable today, since thanks to FaceBook, I chatted with my old Sempai for the first time in six years.

Also, and entirely unrelatedly, one of the girls at work brought kale & mustard greens fried with shallots and sesame oil, and it was so good I had seconds. I think I'll try to make something similar.
