Aug. 5th, 2010

1. I made another batch of cherry banana bran muffins. These really are so good.

2. Google finally, FINALLY has native one click account switching! I have made do with a FF extension, but I didn't really like it because it was only very slightly less of a step than logging out and logging in again. But with this, you just log in to your accounts (up to three) and then can switch via a pulldown menu. :D :D :D :D :D I'm loving it.

Daily Happysong:

The Verve - The Drugs Don't Work
Just discovered this the other day by following a random trail of youtube vids.

Title: Off Colour
Author: Jackie Kay
Number of Pages: 64 pages
Book Number/Goal: 22/30 for 2010
My Rating: 2/5

I love Jackie Kay's novel and short stories, so I figured I'd give her poetry a try even though I am not a fan of poetry in general. This was a bad idea! It turns out I am still not a fan, even if it's an author I really love. :( I just don't really get poetry at all. But if you like poetry, you might like it! A lot of the same themes that show up in her prose (being black, being a lesbian, being Scottish) are present here, too.

If you want my copy, just leave a comment. I can only ship within the US, though.

This is not a manga I normally post about because I don't think many people outside of Japan really know about it, but I happened to mention something from vol. 22 in a previous post and got a comment asking for a summary, so...here are super detailed summaries (seriously, like over 1000 words each *headdesk*) for vols. 22 and 23 for anyone who might be interested.
