Autumnal
Posted in current events on 10/03/2009 01:40 pm by karenFarmers market for turnips, spinach, apples, dates, bosc pears, carrots. Everything looked so good. It feels like fall. And yes, it’s a crisp 82 degrees in the desert. The season’s a’changin’.
Vanessa has mentioned dal one time too many on her blog. So now there’s a big pot of masoor dal simmering on my stove. It’ll be great later with some jasmine rice. No matter how many times I mix up Indian spices, I am always surprised at how good it smells: cumin, coriander, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, cayenne. It really seems like a kind of magic, the way they all work together.
It’s a double no-practice day: Saturday AND the moon day. In honor of relaxing, I am going to watch an episode of “Californication” on Netflix. My Gift turned me on to this program, and it is utterly hilarious. It makes me want to move to LA, even though I imagine once I got there, I’d be sorry…

Love Californication! I don’t think you would like LA very much though. You might like it for a visit? Sometimes it’s fun to stand back and watch the insanity for a while. And lots of good yoga to be had there.

I’ve never seen that show. Wonder if I’d like it. I’m not so into David D though… Hmmm…

What, no love for David D? I’m surprised.
The level of debauchery in this show is hilarious. Here’s an example: He meets a woman at a dinner party at his ex-girfriend’s fiance’s house (said fiance is a total dick), ends up stoned and drunk and in flagrante with the new chick on the ex and fiance’s bed, goes wonky & barfs on ex’s fiance’s brand new hideous but super-expensive trendy pop art painting, then uses it to cover up when ex- and fiance come busting into the room.
The barfing on a trendy painting thing really cracked me up.
