life is definitely weird

The quests continue, unfulfilled. Still no job, still no unsweetened dried coconut. I have acquired a kick-ass iced coffee, however.

Going around in shirt-sleeves in November, on the other hand, is definitely a bonus. Hmm, I wonder what bizarre warm-climate thing I should do to celebrate my birthday...

asian groceries will sell unsweetened dried coconut. i'd also try crunchy-granola type stores.

yeah, stuartc and I haven't really had a chance to explore the area enough yet... the closest earthy-crunchy market I know is Wild Oats in Santa Monica, which is not exactly walking distance. And I am the world's worst chicken about exploring on my own anyway.

I'm just irritated because Albertson's used to have it, and they seem to have stopped carrying it while we were away. (Maybe I was the only one buying it.)

Must google some more... just found a really great page about Indian grocery stores and stuff in the LA area (http://www.searchindia.com/search/LA.html). There's probably loads of other stuff out there as well...

The iced coffee sounds good. So you're sitting on the veranda doing embroidery and drinking iced coffee then. Getting bored? You need to take up a particularly focussed embroidery skill - I recommend needlelace or opus anglicanum. Or maybe just cross-stitch on 50-count fabric. :)

Or just wait for our sea shipment to come in, with the 20 or so unfinished (and indeed unstarted) cross stitch kits I already own.

And I wouldn't dream of letting the iced coffee anywhere near the current project, not with that snow-white background! Not unless I want to get extra coffee and antique the entire thing.
