BUH.

Go here and watch the video of acoustic guitar duo Rodrigo Y Gabriela playing their song "Orion". What this pair can do is incredible -- you may think you've got the idea after a minute or so, but be sure to watch it through to the very end if you want to see some truly amazing musicianship.

Also, happy Thanksgiving to my American friends!

I CAN HAS SAFFRON?

My mother just brought me the first slice of her pre-Christmas batch of Saffron Cake, and a lovely cup of tea to go with.

I was going to be all MY SAFFRON CAKE, LET ME SHOW YOU IT, only I can't, because my digital camera seems to be broken.

*cries*

*eats cake anyway*

ETA: The camera problem is Canon's fault. So now I have to ship it back to them, right before Christmas when I need it most. Gnaarrr.
