Random things of the day:
1. Apparently, I now live in a subtropical zone. Every day, a previously cloudless, 90-degree sky will suddenly get very dark and treat us to a 40 minute thunderstorm, between 3:30 and 5:30, before clearing up again.
2. A new print ad from the Israel Tourism Bureau in the New Yorker has the tag: "Nobody belongs here more than you." Did they even think about the potential ramifications of that statement?
3. Yet another idiot thing I did when I was 17 was giving up Star Trek because it reminded me too much of my ex. As it turns out, Season 4 of DS9 is actually quite good! Also, I've been shamefully reading a post-series novel, Crisis of Faith, in the B&N and really enjoying it.
4. Everyone, as far as I can tell, has gone Potter-crazy. One of the local banks, the First Bank and Trust, has decorated every single window with large Potter posters from the movies, has ceramic jars of Bertie's Beans on the windowsills, as well as the CCG decks, and a wizarding hat, and has a huge tv screen set up in the window playing the first movie. The heck?
5. Most Random Product Yet Bought from TJ's: Dried Hibiscus Flowers. Will report on what they taste like later.
The final current cookie list:
Peanut Blossoms
1-2-3-4 Peanut Cookies
Chocolate Raspberry Brownies
Lemon Bars
Cafe-au-Lait Bars
Blueberry Oatmeal Bars
Oatmeal Fudge Mocha cookies
