the Dalaverse

Ahhh. The greatest snack food in the history of the WORLD.

I obtained my packet of strawberry Pocky and double packet of chocolate Pocky at the Chinese supermarket across the street from the Social Security Administration in Rockville, where I was picking up a duplicate SS card. If by "picking up" you actually mean "waiting in line for two and a half hours only to discover that they actually mail you the card within two weeks," of course. So, after reading for half an hour, I went wandering around. There was a beauty salon, a furniture store, a restaurant, and a little candy shop, all adorned with characters I couldn't read. I poked around in the candy store and sampled some dried fruit, then remembered that I'd gone to the Kam Sam market with Katherine and Mrs. K a long time ago, and they had a bakery. I didn't end up getting anything at the bakery; mostly I tiptoed around like the ignorant white girl I am and watched an employee sort sluggish live blue crabs.

Then, THEN I found the junk food aisle, and the POCKY. Little bisuity-cookie-type sticks either plain or coated in icing. They are so FABULOUS and I think I might be addicted to them.

Only a few more of each flavor left ::pouts::

WHY DIDN'T I KNOW IOAN WAS IN "WILDE"?

Excuse me, please. I have to go DIE now.

In case it's not obvious, I've made a late but spirited start in my Gay/Lesbian Moviefest. So far I've seen "Bent," "Lost and Delirious," and the last three episodes of S1 of "Queer as Folk." More detailed thoughts later. Right now I'm kind of stuck on OMG RAVISHED!IOAN.
