My new favorite dish: Toad in the Hole at Tea & Sympathy. Fried eggy batter never tasted so good! And the mash there is perfect, not too buttery like most other restaurants. I can never understand why people complain about British food.
Got a canker sore / mouth ulcer? Take a One-A-Day vitamin. Since hearing about it's magical powers from my cousin Emily last Fall, this gem has yet to fail me! Now it's right up there with Advil and Nyquil for quick and strong relief every single time. You'll thank me the next time you bite your tongue and an irritating blister forms!
Some of the most lovely people I know came together to bless me with an iPod photo for my birthday. I've been playing around with it for a couple of days and it's rather silly how thrilled I am with this thing. The only thing drive me a little batty is how little control I have over the way it syncs with iTunes and similiar issues with not being able to treat it like other firewire drives. I guess Apple wanted to make it dummy-proof, but there must be a way to let me see what's happening behind the basic iPod interface in iTunes and let me manually add and delete files on the drive instead of just altering what I see on the iPod. For example, I wanted to try just updating a single playlist and not the entire library so I choose the appropriate option in iTunes. The next thing I know, my iPod is saying that it only contains the songs on that particular playlist and I don't have the option of listening to any of my other songs that I already loaded. So I had to sit there and wait for my 9GB music library to load onto the iPod all over again. It couldn't even recognize that the files already existed on the drive! It was pretty frustrating and now I'm scouring the internet for a program that will let me use my iPod like a person with half a brain instead of like a baby in a crib minded by Apple's babysitters.
