asunder this.

iTunes is spinning: rachel yamagata -"find a way"

so, here's an interesting something...nots sure what to call it. But Cool Hunting blogged about this thing called marmite today, and it's collaboration with guinness. Here's what Cool Hunting had to say about it:

"You'll probably know about Guinness, but for those of you who aren't familiar with Marmite, it's a nutritious, vegan-friendly, British foodstuff originally made from the yeast left over by the beer-brewing process. Usually, it's spread thinly on toast, and for those who like it, it has a salty, almost meaty flavor. For those who don't, the flavor is more akin to that of earwax.

In time for St. Patrick's Day, Guinness yeast extract will be used to make a special spread, limited to 300,000 jars. It's available today 19 February 2007 for around £2.49 from supermarkets in the UK."

hmmm. i deem it a bit weary, and must say i'm not entirely too keen on trying it, even if it tastes like beef jerky, because as it's original name suggests, it's suppose to be jerky, not spready. that and it's alcohol free.



in other chinese new years news, as of sunday, it's officially the new year in the lunar calender, which also marks this year as the year of the pig. now being born in 1983, that would mean me. but this isn't just any ol' animal year, this pig year also happens to be a golden pig year. this occurance happens every 600 years. ohuuu. once in 6 lifetimes chance to experience this golden affair. The golden pig is suppose to mark a particularly auspicious year...let's hope this rings true.

it's nine three five pm: i think i'm going to go buy my very first scratch ticket ever to celebrate this "auspicious" year....or maybe just a dr. pepper.
