3 Kings

Today marks the Epiphany, the 12th night, which commemorates when the infant Jesus was visited by Zoroastrian astronomers.

In France, it is celebrated by eating La Galette des rois, or frangipane.  It is a diddly-licious almondy cake.


The ritual goes as follows: one person, usually the youngest at the table (though last year it was me, the oldest) assigns each piece to each person.
Here’s the kicker: hidden in the cake is one small ceramic angel figurine!  Whoever gets it in his or her piece is named King or Queen.  The responsibilities of office are marginal, and pretty much the only priviledge is wearing the coveted Burger-King-like crown, which you can do for the rest of the party.  After a few bowles of cidre, you might feel tempted to wear it on the way home on the metro, but you listen to your girlfriend’s better judgement instead.

I aint goin’ out there.


Brrr.  Or, Gla gla gla to use the vernacular.

Pimp yo browser

I still know a few people out there who don’t get why firefox is rad.  It’s the add-ons, man.  But which ones to get? So some brainiac has bundled a couple together to get one started based on his or her needs.  (Warning, exclamation mark überdosis)
