So I whipped up a batch of ill Indo curry tonight. The recipe from Grandma K requires a red chili puree. I mashed some up some fierce red chilis in the blender. Apparently the gaseous compounds released from the puree'ing ended up in my nose. My nose started burning up and I jumped in the shower. What I really wanted was to pour milk on my head. The shower did not help so I ended up just waiting it out - i.e., the pain receptors got so blown out that they ceased to register/sense/transmit any sort of noxious stimulation. The curry was pretty ill. Now the tissue under my finger nails are hurting. I wish I had some ice cream to stick my fingers in.

1) 'Disney:The Mouse Betrayed' by P & R Schweizer. Interesting look at how Disney has changed over the years, especially after Eisner took over. You sure won't want to work there (unless you're gay,maybe) after reading this book.

2) 'The Tristan Betrayal' by Robert Ludlum. Nazis,commies,spies & more. And topped by a surprise twist at the end.

3) 'A Riot Of Our Own' by Johhny Green & Garry Barker. On tour with the Clash, by someone who was there. Goes from early touring up through "London Calling". A must read if you're a fan, or even just a music fan.

4) 'Cooper's Creek' by Alan Moorehead. From the author of "White Nile" & ""Blue Nile", a look at
early exploration of interior Australia.

5) 'Brimstone' by Doug Preston & Lincoln Child. With characters from "Relic","Reliquary" & "Cabinet Of Curiosities". Another exciting read,but I thought the denouement was a cop-out.

6) 'Seven Steps To The Arbiter' by L Ron Hubbard. Think 'swashbuckling space opera' written by the man who went on to found Scientology.

Classic cuts are making a huge comeback. The good thing about classically designed rings is that you can still wear them tastefully in the next three decades. They make great heirloom pieces as well. Most women are now leaning towards getting a classic-cut diamond solitaire, or if that's too much, at least a diamond accented ring. Despite the colored stone trend, diamonds still appear to be a girl's best friend-at least for the engagement anyway. Round and emerald-cut diamonds are still the top sellers, followed closely by the classic oval cut. The pave setting, where the band is studded seamlessly with diamonds, is also an elegant way to set diamonds. This setting is also poised to be a big trend in the coming year. top jewelry sites
