Sep. 23rd, 2004 08:19 amI discovered last night that there is a Whole Foods just minutes away from me at work. *cue ominous music* I didn't do too badly I suppose, though I did leave with some vegan cinnamon rolls (one of which I had for breakfast, yum!), Quorn patties, spinach pancakes (like potato pancakes, only green), a few Morningstar Farms goodies, and my beloved chocolate Tofutti Cuties. Also found some soy based mozzarella slices that I'm dying to try out. Their bakery section is going to be my undoing, though, I just know it. Still, at least now I know where to pick up stuff to take to potlucks and such.
I ended up doing a lot less than I'd hoped as I got caught up in playing around with my LJ layout. It's still not quite what I want, but closer. Caught the Daily Show and once again worshiped Stephen Colbert. Then popped in the Goddess Workout, sure enough I could do the entire thing without breaking a sweat and the shimmy section that once terrified me now makes me yawn. I may have to pass the tape on to someone else and go for her higher level workout. This one's just too basic.
And speaking of belly dance, this is a damn cool sounding show:

Yeah it's the middle of the week, but oh I'm so tempted. Maybe I could come in late on Thursday...
( My thoughts on the premiere of Lost are just a click away... )
And I'm sorry to say that the DS9 novel "34th Rule" co-authored by Armin Shimmerman is utter drek. It started out ok but stumbled about a third of the way in. Hey, if an author (or authors) makes an amateur mistake that is glaringly obvious to anyone with at least a passing knowledge of the series I get annoyed, if an actor on said series makes such a mistake I want to fling the book across the room. I mean Jesus, there's a sentence along the lines of, "And she gave the book to his daughter, Kira..." Now what's wrong with that? Well mainly the fact that his daughter's name is Nerys, Kira is the family name. It'd be like saying, "And she gave the book to his daughter, Smith..." Gah!
Then the book descended into mischaracterizations of most of the rest of the crew and this incredibly Mary Sue style handling of Quark that generally makes me want to retch. Yes, yes, Quark is just misunderstood, right, got it, for the love of god move on! And the character rape of Kira is just painful. I'll finish it because I'm stubborn, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else.
