What's readin?

The past couple of months or so, I've been growing more and more interested in Martin Luther King, Jr. I'm aware of the strong influence he had on the civil rights movement, but he was also a pastor. And that's what has really picqued my curiousity. I've become very interested on reading some of his books and his commentary on civil rights and social justice.

I was pretty excited with I found out that the MC library had a bunch of his stuff. Then I found out that somebody had checked out all the books that I wanted. So that kinda bummed me out. But I didn't just want to wait and put it off. There's some stuff that you can put off and just never come back to. But I don't want that to happen. So I decided to read Martin Luther King, Sr.'s autobiography. And I've really been enjoying it. It's not an easy read, to see how difficult he had it growing up, but it's a great insight on how his children came into their own.

So that's what I'm reading at the moment.

The word "Friend"

Here's an interesting article in today's Washington Post about how the the word "friend" has evolved in our myspace/facebook generation.

What I had for lunch today

Oftentimes, I will fix a sandwich for lunch. More often than not, it ends up being Peanut Butter and Jelly. A little while ago, I had this crazy idea for my sandwich, and I decided to execute it when I was preparing my lunch last night (yes, I make my lunch the night before - I learned it from my roommate). I put chocolate chips in my Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich. So how did it taste?

It was good. Not as great as I was hoping it would be, just good. In conversing with a co-worker, I think the trouble may have been the grape jelly. While chocolate is an excellent contrast to peanut butter, the sweetness of the grape jelly kind masked most of the chocolate taste. I will try it again, but I will try and use raspberry, strawberry or blueberry preserves. They have a bit of tartness to them which might make my creation (which if I open a restaurant, I'm calling a Spotted Hyena) taste better.
