**** you. I just happen to know about their Japanese Xmas tradition. I don't even like KFC. I prefer Popeyes and I haven't been to one in like 6 months.

No but we do a dish I'm not fond of called dulce de batata which has marshmallows on the top.

You guys call it sweet potato pie I think.

That dish is kind of close to sweet potato pie but they got carried away. It is more like candied yams that's what we call it. I put a few marshmellows on top of two sweet potato pies that I baked and it was perfect. Sweet potatoes aren't all that sweet on their own.

The Japs think KFC is "traditional American Christmas", so when I tell them it was just a marketing ploy some years ago, it's like I crushed all their hopes. They stumble away, not knowing what to believe, silently wondering what else they've been lied to about.

Awww it is like you told me Santa isn't real.

Even more stereotypical.

Whatever, I don't care about you trying to chicken shame me.

Churches and Popeyes are quality chicken joints. Oh and Roscoes but like I have never been to one. I wouldn't mind trying chicken and waffles.

Dude, chicken and waffles rule.

But seriously who isn't obsessed with fried chicken and hot sauce?

My day sans MB?

Woke up, fell out of bed,
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
And looking up I noticed I was late.
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke,
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream.

I'd been struggling for years being forced to use my DSLR's flash to photograph my LPs usually resulting in terrible glare on the album jackets. Low light in the room has always prevented me from shooting without a flash.

This eve I began to explore diffusers, light boxes, and other potential solutions.Then I remembered a good friend gifting me a 500W halogen work lamp as a housewarming gift.

I successfully installed the bulb without ending the world. Then I figured it still wasn't dangerous enough, so I plugged the thing into a 25ft utility extension cable and plugged the end of that cable into one of those two-to-three-prong-burn-your-house-down adapters and stuck that sucker into the 1920s outlet in my office with the ground wire dangling free.

Once I regained my ability to see, I took a photo to try out the camera sans-flash.

Nothing fantastic, but I'll screw around with lamp positioning to fine tune the color and I should be all set!
