Thursday miscellanea #233

Two nights of lows in the 30s on deck, but we’re not getting anywhere near a freeze. Too bad. I love a late freeze. It’s a mosquito massacre.
I saw Gail—this Gail—on Tuesday. It was so much fun. She hasn’t changed 1%. And I can heartily verify more than five years later that it is restorative being with her.
Would you like to photograph the Kentucky Derby this year? Don’t take a camera with an interchangeable lens. For as much as we’ve accomplished, we are a devastatingly stupid people sometimes.
Microsoft will unveil the next Xbox May 21. I am hoping rumors of it being necessarily connected to the Internet 24/7 are false. Always on is a bad approach for a lot of things, and a gaming console is one of them.
I tried oyakodon at my favorite Japanese place this week. I’m certain it was authentic, and equally certain that it’s not my thing. I needed it to be a lot more spicy, or a lot less mushy, or both. As gustatorily adventurous as I think I am, I hate it when something so thoroughly repels me, particularly when it’s part of a cuisine I generally enjoy.
I read almost in passing this week that Suzuki has withdrawn completely from the passenger vehicle market in the United States. I hate to hear that. I am rather fond of the SX4 and the Kizashi. I would think either would be a steal on the used market right now.
You know how once in a while, you’ll see something so thoroughly and viscerally disturbing that you’d like to mentally unload it, but know you never can? Click here for one of those. Consider yourself warned. (Don’t worry; not pornographic or otherwise NSFW, but let’s just say nature is bottomlessly disgusting.)
