““Chicken teriyaki is the best cheap food there is,” he said. “It’s ideal for international students. I got through school on oatmeal cookies and coffee. If only I could have had teriyaki, things would have been different.””

I still can’t believe it, but this is apparently a real phenomenon (though I ridiculed Janet about it earlier) that I may experience for the first time tomorrow. Three cheers for DC’s massive snowstorm. Or as they’ll call it years down the line, the Health Care Blizzard of 09’.

Hehe, that’s pretty funny. Few people are afforded the opportunity to quit their job to get their personal life in order. For us normal folk, we have to do all of this at the same time. Its like being rich and famous also makes you sad and pathetic.

True. Sad and pathetic, but with $s.

Apparently, there are flamingos in my familial hometown of Ahmedabad. I did not know this. From Wiki:

The Lesser Flamingo (Phoenicopterus minor) is a species in the flamingo family of birds which occurs in Africa (principally in the Great Rift Valley), across to northwest India. It is the smallest and most numerous flamingo, probably numbering up to a million individual birds.Like all flamingos it lays a single chalky white egg on a mud mound. Most of the plumage is pinkish white.

Lesser flamingos? Why do you hate brown flamingos, taxonomists? And worse, BBC tells me their migratory routes are under siege.

Shera embodies values that the nation is proud of: majesty, power, charisma, intelligence and grace. His athletic prowess, courage and speed on the field are legendary. He is also a reminder of the fragile environment he lives in and our responsibility towards the protection of his ecosystem.

The ? Nets

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 00:22:38 -0400

Via New York Mag:

For a few years there, it seemed like the New Jersey Nets were definitely going to move to an arena-like jumble in Brooklyn designed by the world’s most famous architect. Then the project was delayed by lawsuits filed on behalf of a group of rabble-rousing locals who meet in a dive bar. Then a bunch of complicated bets based on bogus mortgages given to random people in the suburbs of Phoenix went to hell, and no one anywhere could get money to build anything, let alone an arena and massive luxury-housing development. Then the richest man in Russia decided he would pay for everything, although the architect and his expensive fancy-pants design had already gotten canned. Also, one of the main community groups supporting the project had its credibility undermined when two twentysomething kids tricked one of their representatives into talking on-camera about how prostitutes can cheat on their taxes. So if there’s anything to be taken away from the story of the Brooklyn Nets, it’s probably that we have absolutely no idea what’s going to happen next in the story of the Brooklyn Nets.

DiS: What do your parents think?

AH: I really want to them to come to the show at Heaven in October because they don’t quite stand my world and I really wanna show them what we do.

DiS: Yeah, but what do they think about the band name?

AH: Ha, they definitely don’t understand it. How can something you put a swear word in be a way of making a living?
