Nothing is Special

Stop thinking you can get a deal. That you’ll be presented with a fabulous surprise in your favor. Everything is exactly as it is. The mundane remains. The daily grind is to be expected, yet again, tomorrow morning. It never ends.

There is no special.

Recognizing that fact is the first step.

Kinder Protest

Kinder as in garden. My friend Vlad posted this old-but-new-to-me video on facebook and I thought it was a pretty awesome response by youngsters to some anti-people demo by some stupid adults happening across the street. The youthful arts of negation, in its most basic glory.

Well done kids! A++!

Cooking with EL CHAVO! : Huevos Rancheros!

It seems a bit wrong that I should share my version of this dish with you all, considering that I’ve spent many weekend mornings critiquing/praising the variety of examples available in Los Angeles.

If you’ve read any of my previous cooking classes, I’ve always said that you need to alter things to your liking, to vary the ingredients so they reflect what your palette wants.

Remember the other day when I was singing the praises for a decent quick fix on a broken car window? Well this is an example of the typical bad repairs I was referring to, poorly executed and with no aesthetics in mind. I’m telling you, a mickey mouse repair shop that offers quick, affordable temporary fixes (ha ha, yeah right) might make someone a bit of cash. Maybe enough to buy a real window.

You can always count on me to give you excellent business ideas.
