Kenya Dig It? ~ Dinner Timer

People who know me are probably aware by now that I’m slightly impatient with things I deem to be nonsense. I try to be culturally relativist and understanding, but even in my own culture there’s a lot I consider to be quite stupid and inexplicable, so it’s inevitable that I would consider aspects of other cultures the same.
Which means that on the beautiful island of Lamu, one of the more conservative places in Kenya,* I had a few moments of such—mostly when I was hungry, hypoglycemic, hot, and completely unable to find food because it was Ramadhan.

Quote of the Day, Weird Fandom Division

A Room of One's Own Day
Fun at Work Day
Anniversary - Macintosh Computer (Apple)
 
“Mannheim Steamroller’s a great franchise. They sell real music, ambient music, bath supplies, and barbecue sauce!  Oh, and chili lights!”
 
and
 
“The eight Fresh Aire albums are the best. They’ve each got a theme: spring, autumn, summer, winter, Johannes Kepler’s story about a trip to the moon, Greek myths, the number seven, and infinity.”
 
Today’s quote brought to you by my attempts to explain to a friend why I’m a Steamroller fan, warts and all. Because a company that weird must be cool.
