xo, M.
P.S. I will miss you terribly when Delta eats you. You were my first airline ever - I’ll never forget that…
“Expialidocious” or, Mary Poppins, the Remix.
Put aside the fact that Mary Poppins was my favorite movie ever when I was little, and just listen to this. Catchy, well done, and adorable.
“United Breaks Guitars”
My own experience with flying + guitars:
- Baby Taylors = Great travel companions. Martin Drednought in a hard case, not so much.
- Air Malawi/Virgin Atlantic will lose your guitar and spend days arguing who’s responsible before telling you it’s either somewhere in Kenya or London Heathrow. They’ll then blame you for being in Hawaii and unable to pick it up (even though the guitar is nowhere in the United States) before sending it to Chicago O’Hare even though you live in New Jersey. I have never feared for my Martin’s life so much. It was safer in Malawi when I had it teathered to the side of a 15-seat minibus filled with 22 people for 180km.
- As a dear friend with an electric/acoustic Ovation found out the hard way, ALWAYS unwind your strings before flying. Otherwise, it’s likely your neck will snap D:
Aww, it’s okay Firefox. I know you were trying.
Am I the only one who has a soft spot for cute software issues?
Mmm. Roseade.
Dried rose petals on top seal the deal.
D: More than half gone!
So, b (not to be confused with B, which is Ben) blagged about a rose drink the other day, which was hilarious because I was at Peter, the fusion restaurant on top of the Peninsula Tokyo, having pretty much the exact same thing at the same time.
This is what they called “Roseade” - It’s rose water, rose syrup, a dash of lemon juice, (and for even more effect,) dried rose petals. When I ordered it, I was afraid it’d be a novelty drink; Very parfume-y and not exactly imbibable.
In reality, it had a very natural rose scent to it, and the flavor was absolutely divine. It’s definitely one of those, sniff-before-sip kinds of drinks, where you want to breathe in all the roses they put into it before you go ahead and taste it and drink it away.
It was really amazing, and better yet, non-alcoholic. I ended up having two even though it set me back $16 per flute.
Bravo, Peter.
