Maintenance came and scrubbed down my AC units and replaced the filters. A-men! It was yucky and smelled like moth balls. Every time I walked in my door I felt like I was entering some little old lady's house. I put air fresheners everywhere but they were no match for the stink. While I was talking to the team leader, he informed me part of the reason some of them start to smell bad is because AC units are connected to the toilet lines. Mmmmmm. :)
Supposedly there are points during the year when you can turn off the AC and breathe fresh air. I'm excited about that! I go through so much lotion here. Care package ideas people: send Body Shop Body Butter!!!
I'm still waiting for the official go ahead with my mailing address but I will share it just as soon as it's confirmed. I'm in need of fan mail. There's nothing more comforting than getting snail mail, especially when you're eight million miles away from everything you know. Even if it shows up a year later, right
(e:Ajay)? Ha-ha.
So, this afternoon I'll make a run to the store and buy some smellers to shove in my newly cleaned units. I do love the scent of spiced apples. It's all cozy and feels good on the olfactory senses.
I miss SPOT coffee. Starbucks is everywhere here, which is ok, but their caramel macchiato just doesn't taste the same. Care package ideas people: send SPOT coffee beans!
I miss you all. I hope to arrange a party for the next time I'm in Buffalo. That might not be until April 08....but it's never too soon to plan the greatest spectacle on earth! Ciao.
not to be a party pooper, but I had to look it up. :::link:::
Salvia officinalis - Common sage
Salvia divinorum - Diviner's sage
Good stuff either way...
Our comments crossed there. I see. I SEE!
yeap, same question as jenks- I thought the salvia was generically different from the regular green grocer herb.
@jbeatty - Thanks! I might take you up on that!
one in the same. salvia divinorum is the scientific name. and boy it tastes just like it smells (i've never had the tea). it brings fond memories of running on a carrousell while chasing paul and screaming that carey looked scary in a big yellow hat! if that doesn't make sense look for one of my posts talking about sage or salvia.
is regular old grocery store sage the same as salvia?!
wow. And you get it at the grocer?
sage, or salvia divinorum, is a powerful psychoactive herb. it can produce altered states as mild as uncontrollable laughter or as extreme as full halucinations or planes of being. Historically its use is related to religious meditation.
(e:tinypliny) you can borrow my Lebanese cookbook if you would like some ideas.
What are those - pizzas? What are the toppings? Look pretty interesting! I am trying to learn Lebanese veggie recipes. I think they have some unque tasting food over there.
And why is the Sage thing so special? What do you use it for?
I wish I had that kind of dream more often. I am always the person who is getting slapped! :/ But hey, I always get to eat food in my dreams.
I <3 <3 LOVE <3 <3 YOUR PICTURES!!
Great pictures and thanks for sharing them, those gondolas look pretty interesting. In terms of the dream depending on what happened and how the slap is given sometimes it can be just as good for the person getting the slap.
yes! Nice grocey you have there-well stocked with the essentials :D Electricity Street and Desert Sunset picture really get to me; beautiful. I'm getting this deja-vous feeling over the Gondola pic. weird.
PS according to the time of your post, I just missed you on here. I was still up and on after 4am. drats.
Looks beautiful. Nice dream too, sounds fun.
Wow! Those are some really cool pictures.
