A Little Culture
Stan returned from a two-week trip to Japan and Korea, with a contribution to my little collection of odd canned meats. So far, I have Pork Brains In Milk Gravy, Potted Meat Food Product, and Fish 'N' Nuts Hot & Spicy Pulutan. The new arrival is apparently popular in Korea: Silkworm Pupa. Yum! I can hear them sloshing around when I shake the can. I'm guessing that they're crunchy, but I'm not willing to open the can and find out.
I'm not usually excited about the symphony or silent films, but the two together are pretty fun. This weekend it was Charlie Chaplin's City Lights, with the original score performed by the SF Symphony. Comedies are always more fun in a room full of people (Davies Symphony Hall seats 2,743), and the musicians seemed to enjoy performing some lighter fare.
