this morning i was talking with a coworker about the news of the day when i mentioned bin ladens latest statement against ongoings in the gaza. shocked, she asked what i was talking about, since bin laden has been dead for "at least a year, right?" it does seem very peculiar that american news has stopped covering bin laden. while now, at the end of the day, you can find mention of his name if you search google news, al jazeera, xinhua & even telesur have been covering the story all day. fox news, for example, chose this headline today. im willing to put money, however, that it will make the front page of the times in the morning as soon as someone catches on that it will be a good little opportunity to support bushs recent stick-with-it-or-theyll-kill-us-first speech. i mean, come on, he insulted the pope again. beware americans! there is still a threat! & it is true, there is a threat. a much more serious one than existed in 2001. but i suppose if american news covered stories that had to do with un-america, we might have to, lets say, listen to richard gere talk about buddhism (he is the leading authority, right?). and who wants to go through more of that? OR, maybe we just want to keep the shiploads of lead paint coated toys a'commin.
my dad informed me that today is the second day of spring. well, congrats to you people experiencing that. wow, i had no idea. let me know how that goes....
im very excited about a show opening up tomorrow @ jen bekman gallery! ian baguskas' solo show goes through april 26th. looks like it is a good time to be a new yorker in awe of the art scene. can you imagine?! i had no idea so many people wear estée lauder!
ok, on a very serious note:
i have been struggling to find the perfect yogurt & it is not going well. ive tried every soy yogurt on the planet & they all SUCK! regular yogurt is pretty fattening & the low fat, fat free & 2% either have creepy "fruit" chunks in them or are watered down. can anybody offer me a solution? & why, for gods sake, does nobody in this city have rice or almond milk? am i the only one who hates soy milk & thinks our diets contain WAY too much of it (soy)? ive been bitching about this subject for ages, but it is so much worse in new york. did you know that along with wheat, soy is one of the foods people are most allergic to & that it is high in estrogen? if i can have a panic attack just looking @ all the options of toothpaste, it seems obvious that i should be able to get a brown cup of joe with something other than hormones. am i wrong?
ps: kel, i promise to respond to your comments when i get more than five minutes to post!

go full fat i reckon. you don't need to eat 2%.
is goat or ewe's milk an option? sheepy yoghurt, just kidding etc etc.. though, i spose it's the whole animal thing. that makes it tricky, spose it's back to milk made from dry goods.
and you're right to beware of those chunky bits of fruit - i had a friend who worked at a yoghurt factory. he hated it! he said it was a bi-product of mechanised milking. and that aint good.
ewwww. is there such thing as good yogurt? i did try a greek yogurt the other day - it tasted the most like the stuff we had in europe (that was AMAZING). yes, it's full fat - but good stuff!
ps - yeah, nonP is more like it...
thanks, guys. im sure neither anonymous or kelly will mind the enormous ass i will inevitably get with full fat, greek yogurt. i think im giving up until my next trip to paris.
i like bit butts & i cannot lie...
