I remember cursing the day that I met you
And when you left
I raised my clenched fist into the air
And shook it, like an old codger from a cartoon
Saying, inside, deep inside
"Good riddance! Good riddance to bad rubbish!"
Now that you're really gone
I wish that you had stayed a little longer
So that I could shout at you a little more
Maybe even try once more to make myself heard
By the sideboard
Your mother looks so sad
And so much more beautiful
Than the crowd of people offering her condolences. |

One of my great quests of the last year or so has been for the "correct" or "ultimate" kueh lapis. This is a snack of my childhood, and the main attraction is in peeling and eating the layers one by one.
In recent years, it's been harder and harder to find, primarily because it's been supplanted by the Bengawan Solo lapis sagu which has slipperier and thinner layers ... But in only a couple of colours. I've been searching and searching for a version of kueh lapis that has the right texture and the right colours.
I found this at the drinks stall in school. I'm excited, because it's the one I remember!
The Frixion pens are available for $2.40 at Popular Bookshop.
I've finally finished Swordspoint. I loved it, even though I spent a large part of the second half of the game wanting to box Richard and Alec because they're both big doody heads. I mean, honestly. He didn't leave because he was tired of Riverside, you bloody great goose.
*grumble*
Loved it, though.
It's very clever and very involving, both things that I love.
![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) ellen_kushner has a lot to answer for.
*grumble*
Now I want some more.
The paperback that I have includes three short stories that feature Richard and Alec, and I'm resisting (successfully, so far) the urge to read them all at once. |
