Bananas
Today I purchased something called Banana Sauce.
Here is what I know:
1) It is from the Philippines.
2) It is supposed to be hot
3) Its ingredients start with: Water, Bananas … and it goes in from there.
I have no idea what to expect.

2 very different trips.
One trip to Olive Supermarket which they bill as an Oriental Supermarket. The kind of place where they have GIANT TANKS of live sea creatures that they will pull out and gut for you while you wait. They also have every variety of freeze dried shrimp you can imagine alongside endless food items that I cannot begin to understand.
Then I dashed down to El Supermercado to get hot sauce and accessories.
Not pictured pounds and pounds of rice… Delicious rice.
Both adventures made me realize that I am incredibly American.
Things of note.
1. Weird Asian Popsicles.
2. Hot Sauce in a bottle that reminds me of dish soap.

Don’t cry, Booboo. Remember the flag only halfway up the pole? Booboo, there are two ways to lower a flag to half-mast. Are you listening? Because no shit I really have to sleep here in a second. So listen - one way to lower the flag to half mast is just to lower the flag. There’s another way though. You can also just raise the pole. You can raise the pole to like twice its original height. You get me?
You understand what I mean, Mario?
Hal?
She’s plenty sad, I bet.

Michele Bachmann tries, fails to quote Shakespeare on the House floor.
She re-emerges from her cave of idiocy just long enough for the country to roll their eyes and groan wishing she’d just shut the hell up.

At the Media Lab, I take the stairs whenever I can. Partly for the exercise, which helps my mood.
But also because whenever I take the elevator I flash on this scene from Rushmore. Because this scene contains a raw and essential truth.
