iPod Shuffle listening station
Underwater listening station?
And the ultimate iPod accessory...
Damn that thing is gorgeous! It's basically gadget bling when you come right down to it - combining two of my favorite things. I have to get me a paying job soon.
The rest of the time was spent lusting after the new version of Garageband (charmingly pronounced GARageband by the British demo guy). Oh what I wouldn't give for a disposable income!

good and good for you
I remember reading about this in Health a while back. I couldn't find that article online, but found this one.
Cinnamon joins cholesterol battle
The 40-day study, of 60 people in Pakistan with Type 2 diabetes, found that one gram a day of cinnamon -- one-fourth of a teaspoon twice daily -- significantly lowered the subjects' blood sugar, triglycerides (fatty acids in the blood), LDL (or "bad") cholesterol, and total cholesterol.
and if that's not enough -
Finally, there may be an indirect health benefit to be had from cinnamon, according to Taiwanese scientists writing in the July 14 issue of Agriculture and Food Chemistry. Cinnamon oil, they found, kills mosquito larvae more effectively than DEET, a common pesticide and mosquito repellent. The next step is to test it against adult mosquitoes.
Random notes:
I was listening to some Laura Nyro and I would recommend her to all you Streisand fans out there.
I was just looking at some pix of the mansion (I am suffering from serious mansion-envy) and it's amazing how quickly you guys settled in. It looks so empty in these pictures[inlink]matthew,489[/inlink]compared to when I was there just a week later.
As for me, I just unpacked and put my suitcase away. I think if estripwest is going to have a snowball's chance in Alameda, I'd better get a roommate (or two) to take care of me.

Transitory Acquaintance
Just because of that juxtaposition I had to snap a stealth pic with my cell phone.
Maybe I'll fill in the whole story some day. Her web site is (porn site). I'm in an all-day class tomorrow, so I know if I don't upload this now I never will. (Not like that would be any great loss...)
She really had the most arresting blue-green eyes I've ever seen.

Winter Storm, California-Style
Effects of severe weather in California
It was fun to see snow while in Buffalo, but it's good to be back. Don't forget to come visit.

Airport Food
I would say JFK is the Wegman's of airport food.
I didn't think I would have any time at JFK, so I woofed down some "Buffalo's Best" wings at the Buffalo airport. I have a serious weakness for wings.

West Meets East
It was great hanging out at the Mansion and getting to meet (e:Flacidness), (e:Lilho), (e:DrClorine) and (e:Rachel). And I finally had the perfect excuse to visit (e:J3sse)! I looked up just how long it's been since he abandoned me and it turns out he left SF on December 10th 2002. That's exactly two years to the day before estripwest was "born." Is that weird or what?
I wish I could have had a little more time there, but after 18 days as a roaming nomad, it's good to be home. Strangely sad though.
It's all gone but something lingers on
a place i used to call home
p.s. - even though it was really nice being on a pedestal before (not to mention a serious novelty for me) I would have to say that was a big reason for making the trip. I liked it up there, but it freaked me out sometimes. I was just hoping I wouldn't have to take too much of a nosedive off it.

Alone at last
It's been quite the family odyssey. I've slept in 7 different "beds" (I use the term loosely) since I got to the East coast Dec. 20th, and tonight I get upgraded from the air mattress in my brother's home office to my nephew's bed now that everyone else has vacated. I've slept great everywhere, although it was pretty cosy the one night I shared a room with three nephews and my one niece. She got crowded out during the night so we jammed in together on the trundle bed.
Luckily I had my boxer shorts with the glow-in-the-dark stars, suitable for slumber parties.
