Things

My rice supply was only good for one week now. So I went to Costco. To my bewilderment, I found that jasmine rice, Kokuho Rose rice (红国宝), and basmati rice were all out! And this is after rice rationing at Costco and Sam's Club made news earlier this week. What is going on in this world? In the end, I picked up a bag of 50lb of some kind of American rice. At least there is still supply of that!

Less than 24 hours since I signed up for Facebook, I am now friends with 9 people! Among these 9, two had invited me months ago; I tried to connect with 3 and 2 confirmed; another 5 just learned that I signed up and asked to be my friends!

Wow, no wonder Facebook is so hot! People (including my friends) are on it all the time!

Boston's Classical Station Online

Recently they've upgraded their player with track information. I like it.

You can listen to Classical music online at www.wcrb.com.

FYI, Richard Addinsell's Warsaw Concerto is quite beautiful to the ear. I did a little google-ing and found out what it has to do with Suicide Squadron. Now I feel better to see it associated with the word "suicide".
