There are certain orders of monks who will spend weeks pushing colored grains of sand into vibrant, colorful, breathtaking circular designs. When it's complete, they say a few prayers and sweep it into the river.
I spend my time pushing molecules around on silver platters. Up, down, up, up, down - you can't see the patterns, but they are there. I don't get a broom, though. All I get are SATA errors.
Back up your data. Mahalo.

The Queen City Roller Girls - Steel Town Tank Girls game yesterday was fun, if you're the kind of person who likes watching house fires, say, or CNN. Watch as Tori Nado decks Sweets in the face and fails to get ejected.

The problem with vanilla is that it's so often done badly. Few things disappoint me/gross me out as much as bad fake vanilla flavoring or scent.
Real, quality vanilla, however, is scrump-dee-lish and soothing to the soul (I don't think it's pretentious to say so, dragonlady7). :)

Not only is Vanilla a flavor you can go out and buy it in a store. But if Vanilla isn't your thing you can mix it up a little bit with French Vanilla. I wish I could tell you how french vanilla tastes different and the same maybe it is richer tasting.

I never said it wasn't!!
Back in the day, that was always what I got at Anderson's-- a small vanilla custard in a sugar cone.
It's like the Cleansing Diet for the soul in this world of 32-flavors-and-more.
That was a very yuppie-pretentious thing of me to say. Obviously I haven't been eating enough vanilla custard.

yes it is! *raises hand in favor of this flavor*
especially in the form of custard. The best stuff is made at Hibbards Custard/icecream in Lewiston. I'd provide a link, but there isnt one!

Vanilla is not only a flavor but an awesome flavor.
I could suck on a vanilla beanpod all day. Seriously.

tomorrow nightCategory: roller derby
In response to (e:imk)'s question: YES! There is, in fact, something going on at Albright-Knox with the derby girls this Friday.
Much like the bout this Saturday there will be all kinds of disjoint entertainment at the gallery, both on and off wheels. In addition to outdoor demonstrations of the sport by QCRG, they will be screening Kansas City Bomber (1972) starring Raquel Welch. And also there will be a seventies disco party, hard cider tasting, and Francis Bacon.

You think that's bad, you should have seen the pants some of the golfers wore at the US Open yesterday. Sadly, golf fashion is regressing.
