It’s Lent again. People are fasting and/or abstaining from meat and poultry as a form of penance. Instead, those who are not fasting are eating seafoods. Fastfood joints are offering fish this, shrimp that and restaurants are seeing a boom in seafood orders. Now isn’t there something wrong here? Not only is seafood healthier, it’s also better tasting! Where’s the penance in that? Is it paying the higher price of seafood? But seriously, it really shouldn’t be about what you don’t eat.
Leslie recently got back from NJ and today gave me the Ralco Short Throw Shifter (STS) Kit for the Genesis Coupe that I ordered and had delivered to him. It’s a complete kit containing a well-machined shifter (a very good copy of TWM Performance’s STS), a shiny height-adjustable shift knob (not gonna be installing this as I prefer the stock knob), shift boot retainer, and all the necessary nuts and bolts. Can’t wait to have it installed!
Two days ago, there was an 18% spike in the price of DigiTel because of rumors of it being acquired, supposedly by San Miguel who denied it. Unfortunately, I had let go of DGTL a few months back because it wasn’t moving and I figured I’ll just get back soon as I have some cash back. Unfortunately again, I never got back. Besides, I wouldn’t have been able to take advantage of the spike as my horizon is more than a single day.
There was a time when I loved fried anything: chicken, pork, fish. You name it, if it’s fried I love it. But those days were long gone. These days, the aroma has become a stink, the crunchiness has become dryness, the juiciness has become greasiness, and the taste has become simply salty. Not that I wouldn’t eat fried. It’s just not my first, even second or third, choice.
UPDATE: Guess what was for dinner? Fried chicken wings! :P
I’m sure it’s not a puzzle how I went from choosing between the Lancer EX GT-A and Impreza 2.0R Sport to the Genesis Coupe 2.0T. But just the same, here’s the tale of the tape:
