yo’ mama — happy mother’s day!
playstationary — contrary to popular expectations (including my own), life has not come to a complete stop now that we are playstation-enabled… no, not a complete stop…
for instance — yesterday, yuka came to visit & we had a late lunch… we hadn’t planned to have a late lunch, but i am not the world’s fastest cook… the menu was, however, if i do say so myself, worth the wait… balsamic baby squid salad with basil (only because i couldn’t find any baby octopus), vegetable pie, and moroccan beef with steamed couscous… those of you with a donna hay cookbook (specifically, the new cook) close at hand may choose to refer to pages 88, 64 and 98 respectively…
&, as non-preparedness gives way to panic — june 5 (the scheduled akachan arrival date) is fast approaching, & while we’ve been gradually accumulating all manner of baby things, we still appear to have N things (where N is significantly more than a trivial number) left to do, buy, beg, borrow or steal… obviously, we will be fine (& we have a number of people, friends & family, who have been incredibly helpful & generous), but wow, talk about feeling logistically challenged… Sumie continues to be well, although in the last few weeks she’s been starting to find it a little more difficult to get around (onaka ga omoi, yo!), & has developed a new propensity for taking naps…
NYPL digital gallery — this is cool… (found, in a roundabout kinda way, via zeldman…)
oh, yeah — goat eats lettuce. no idea what they sell, but they’re right next door to kidnap milk, which does recycled clothing…
