Bwahahahahaaaa! Thank you songlyrics.com.

Yes, it’s crystal clear.

Actually. I was checking up on a lyric for this song I’m digging, #88, by Lo-Fang. I have the song in my head a lot during the day, when I’m walking or on the train to and fro, but there is one line that just seems totally wrong, as in, poor choice. It goes something like, “An idea growing quietly from something within spreads quicker than the cancer that destroyed your mother’s skin.” I’m all for fresh analogy, but that is so insensitive and there had to be a better one to use than that. It’s one of those that seems highfive genius at four in the morning, but (should) make your toes curl when you wake up at noon and reread it.

However. I am really enjoying whoever made this attempt to get these lyrics online. I think I will sing these from now on instead:

Talk about originalogy! And a little post-modern repetition, to boot!

Just under my noes, literally on the other side of my block, is an AMAZING vegetarian restaurant, La Tsampa! It’s tucked behind its organic store and the food is made with organic love! I had their full menu deal for 22 EUR which came with a starter, an main dish, and dessert. My starter was some kind of faux-meat samosa that had traces of fennel and pecans. It also came with a brightly coloured salad of various greens and shaved carrots and beets. I never enjoyed beets raw before, but I could taste the garden in them and loved them! My main dish was their Goulash Quorn and fava beans.  So perfectly seasoned and cooked I couldn’t tell/didn’t care I wasn’t eating meat. Also joining the goulash was dark green steamed spinach, bright orange squashed glazed with something that was sweet and savoury at once, and a temple shaped mound of brown rice with topped with toasted almonds! It was so perfectly presented. Enough food for while still having white space on the plate! For dessert I had the beautifully dense chocolate pie with crust made from pecans and a graham cracker type base. I drank a glass of Josef Ale, which is also a bio beer.

On my way out, I picked up some eggs and bananas and a load of bio beer and wine! About to dip into fairtrade Malbec a soon as I finish this sentence.
