(yesterday's) scary license plate otd: WARIII

When some onions are talking amongst themselves, the conversation is inter allium.

The line under the y-axis is subordinate.

Last night's dinner: an onion-mushroom quiche, brown jasmine rice cooked with two cubes of frozen chopped garlic, and partly-carmelized onions with toasted pine nuts, chopped spinach, and a light dusting of nutmeg. Just enough left for breakfast/lunch today :-).

I got an email out of the blue from someone, and it started me thinking: am I getting lazy about keeping in touch with non-LJ people? Not a good thing at all.

And in another meta-LJ thought, I realized that at times journals aren't just narratives of life that others can comment on, but can function almost as (not-so-) literary salons did, fostering conversation on any of a variety of topics.

Another naming even based on current events: the decision to name the new central artery tunnel the Liberty Tunnel. Ugh, so jingoistic. Not to mention so distinctive and memorable... (more details, plus a cool photo from above of the Zakim Bridge, in this article).

Also interesting was this article on getting balanced war coverage by cobbling together a variety of news sources, since, as Hauntmeister noted, there is a distinct lack of balance in the mainstream media. Of course, it is somewhat ironic that this is published in a mainstream newspaper...
