SF food news -
the Ferry Building market is opening in July, with the markets moving over there sooner. I'm so happy.

Karissa Cove's site
Crackers + Honey, is finally all done! This is where I got the
I'm Foxy And Crafty apron, which is also sold in the Bust shop Boobtique*. You can also read her first zine on the site too. The first I heard about Crackers + Honey was from the (dearly missed)
Dangerous Chunky**.
* I'm not linking to it because it appears to be throwing an infinite amount of security alerts.
** I think, I can't find the entry now.

Oh gosh, I just realized tomorrow is Easter. I didn't know. I mean I knew, I just wasn't paying attention to dates and look, here it is! Easter! I have no plans, except to get to the grocery store today so that we aren't out of frozen pizza tomorrow.
I love Easter because I love hidden things.When I was young Easter Egg hunts would set me off on one of those uncontrollably giddy manic things. I used to get up early to find my Easter basket, always disappointed if I found it early. I think we should take to hiding Christmas stockings and Halloween candy as well.

Am I the only one who absolutely cannot wear flip flops? (Or any shoe which goes between the toes.) I have such flip flop envy.

I have a few airplane trips coming up. I am a miserable air traveler. I'm not afraid of planes or flying, I just hate everything about air travel. So, I'm gathering a few things to distract myself and make me more comfortable. I got a
Pocket Size Back Relax, a folding footrest since my feet will never touch the floor while sitting in regular chairs, making sitting for the duration of a flight very uncomfortable. And I'm going to rent a DVD player from
InMotion Pictures, luckily both airports have InMotion kiosks. Has anyone done the InMotion thing? How was it?

Last night I had an online Garage Sale in order to get rid of some stuff, and raise a little money for upkeep of this here website. I was amazed and pleased (and running around like crazy) with the speed at which the orders came in. I want to thank everyone that snagged some stuff, and let everyone else know I'll probably be having another one soon (I'll give a bit of advance notice next time, I realize that kicking something off at 6 p.m. my time is kind of late for those in New York). I'm off to calculate shipping.
If you have an order still in the works, feel free to email me document.write('
garagesale@' + 'megan.' + 'scatterbrain.' + 'org' + '') -- and the
Secret Page is still there.

In the May
Real Simple, the New Uses For Old Things section suggests using a battery-operated toothbrush for "Scouring tile crevices, bathroom fixtures, and other hard-to-reach corners." I just happened to be thoroughly cleaning my tiled shower cubicle this weekend and I just happened to have a pre-Sonicare era Crest Spinbrush in the closet. While I cannot say it made my job faster, I can say it made it more fun.

Two movies I must remember to go see:
Bend It Like Beckham [warning: Flash] and
Better Luck Tomorrow
