I was at World Market with my mom, and I stopped into the food aisle, hoping to find some Pocky. Mmm. Pocky. I digress. Anyway, I couldn’t find any Pocky, so I looked for something else tasty and Japanese. My eyes settled on this:

The brightly colored bag attracted me at first. Then, my eyes were drawn to the descriptive text on the bag. I’m quoting here.

“Its translucent color so alluring and taste and aroma so gentle and mellow offer admiring feelings of a graceful lady. Enjoy soft and juicy Kasugai Muscat Gummy.”

With ad copy like that, I’m not sure whether to be hungry, disturbed, or excited. They’re sort of tasty, if you can get around the smell, which has all the subtlety of green apples soaked in Pine-Sol.

In other, non-graceful news, I got Samba and svn running very nicely on Monolith (my new development server). svn is sweeeeeeeeeeet. Also, I ate at the Pagoda, which is the best overall Chinese I’ve had in town so far. You haven’t had rolls until you’ve had Pagoda’s rolls, thoroughly drenched in their homemade duck and mustard sauces. Eating their mustard is a bit like having your septum scrubbed out with hot steel wool; good times.
