Mmm, lavendar tea.

I believe I thought I had something to say, but then I lost it. Oh well, I'll say something else.

I recently saw Czech director Jiri Menzel's I Served the King of England, which is a lovely film about a starry-eyed hotel worker and waiter who dreams of becoming a millionaire. The story deviates from this theme to tell his lovely and childlike yet chilling story, along with the story of Reich Europe. The images Menzel creates weave a mezmerizing and powerful poetry.

My first Shiitake crop sprouted! There are about thirty of them, and more are popping up each day. I stir-fried some last night and they were absolutely delicious. Yay!
