Sorry for neglecting you, my precious minions. It’s been a long week and a half. I was very sick and then moved from Vancouver to Revelstoke, BC. Have a few days of skiing under my belt already, and looking forward to fresh snow! Heaps of it! In a similar vein (by which I mean similarly white and fluffy), here is Snoop Dogg making mashed potatoes on Martha Stewart, high as a kite. Deeeee-licious.

Came across a great site (actually, they came across me on Twitter after I posted about wanting tacos al pastor) called waz4dinner. It’s deliciously straightforward (haha, see what I did there?) - pictures of what people are eating! Share waz you haz 4 dinner! It’s totally up my alley - whenever anyone mentions being anywhere, I always want to know what they ate.

In a not-altogether-unsurprising move, and one that seems almost poetic, really, PC Magazine is switching to online only and ditching the print copy.
The move is happening as of February 2009 - subscribers will get the full mag digitally delivered to their inboxes. This move was probably a long time coming - print publication pays beans today. It’s a totally antiquated format - the web allows for instant reporting and immediate gratification. I think that most newspapers should either shut down totally or make the shift entirely to digital. I flip through the Vancouver Sun on my lunch break most weekdays, but the best use I’ve gotten out of that print copy recently was when I used it to protect dishes while packing a few weeks ago. It’s environmentally wasteful and culturally redundant. Craigslist and the like have made classified ads largely obsolete, and there’s nothing I can get in print that I can’t get online (well, apart from the crossword puzzles being a little less satisfying). These aren’t just the self-indulgent ramblings of a bitter and unsuccessful journalist, either. I edited my undergrad university paper for a few years, so I played the game.
I’m staring across Hastings St. at the Vancouver Sun building as I write this critique. That seems almost poetic, too.

I’m looking for a killer recipe for Tacos Al Pastor. They are heavenly… and impossible to get north of the 49th Parallel.
I have a bite guard to wear at night because I am so driven by food that I have dreams about eating, which translate to me chomping away all night. I’m sure I’ve had Tacos Al Pastor dreams… who wouldn’t? They’re glorious. The last time I had some was at the Taqueria in Hood River, OR. It seems like an unlikely place for great Mexican food, but damn do they have some. It’s a family affair. Maybe I can coerce some migrant workers in the Okanagan to come with us to Revelstoke. Human rights violation? Maybe. Verdict - DELICOUS.

I’m sincerely worried about how Obama is going to function under the pressure of saving the world.
I have a feeling he won’t even make a second term - the world has pinned its hopes on one guy. He must (figuratively, I hope) be pissing his pants at all the pressure. “Yes we can,” he declares. His rhetoric is lovely - he’s a fantastic speaker. I alluded to that in a previous post - I love eloquence and passion in a leader’s speech. However, there is so much focus on him now to save everything - the economy, the American image, the morale of the American people - that he is not going to be able to succeed everywhere that people are hoping he will. There’s no way he can please everyone.
