I want to read The Next Sweet Thing to better understand the increasing interest in high-end chocolate that I see in myself and my friends.
I missed the Berkeley Edge festival but have some interest in learning more about Terry Riley, especially since I once saw his name associated with J. S. Bach.
Is it "Laura and my home" or "Laura's and my home"? The latter is correct.
As I'm about to move in the next month or two, I'm wondering whether to use a service like Door To Door or instead to rent a moving van. Any thoughts?
The first time I've ever seen or heard of yet another Coca-Cola product: Coca-Cola Zero At any rate, It's available in El Cerrito, CA.
I've enjoyed The Onion sporadically in its online incarnation. I'm not sure yet whether I'll make the effort to pick up the paper version to read it.
I'm in the process of renewing my Canadian passport. I thought that I'd be able to take my own passport photos, but the requirements made it rather onerous. It was a relief to get my photos taken by a local photo shop. There I learned about all the other types of government (or media-) mandated photos. Apparently, all the photos have different requirements. Why can't the world just agree on some standard photo formats -- or at least fewer formats?
Maybe I can become a fix-it up man myself! (Flyers are at Berkeley Ace Hardware)
It's easy to expect sunny skies all the time in Berkeley. So when the rains come, I remind myself to see the beauty in water that eludes us for much of the year, including rain on trees.
Yesterday, during my walk to campus, I had the opportunity to celebrate the after-rain environment by taking a lot of pictures:

China Illustrated is a book I'm interested in more closely examing. It was checked out the last I looked (see melvyl for the University of California system.)
I like seeing crowds of visitors taking a tour of the Berkeley campus. Imagine the thoughts and feelings going through the hearts and minds of prospective students and their parents. The scene takes me back to the first days as a 1st year student at the University of Toronto for me.
