films that either say something, or work real hard to say nothing.

I just discovered that photobucket has slide shows...sad to say it but procrastination is about to reach record levels:
Good people for good times...
Um, Santa...I'd like a Galaxy Class starship for Christmas, if at all possible...

As for cooking, this past summer I rediscovered cilantro and together with scallions, have been able to do some interesting things, expecially w/ fatty fishes (like salmon) which I previously didn't enjoy.

Miso + tuna puts me in a good mood. Same goes for guava cheese. And pine tarts.
