Favorite pre-party song these days

No matter what I am doing the night I always get in the party mood with hip-hop. These days my favorite pre-party tune is Stronger by Kanye West, which is a collaboration with one of my favorite bands Daft Punk.



Two years ago it was Nasty Girl by Biggie and Friends:



Hope they help getting in the party mood on this lovely August saturday!

Rucola - Rucola - Arugula - Rocket - Roka

In the days before  Linnaeus things were easy for herb enthusiasts. If two herbs or spices looked and/or tasted the same, one would just add an adjective in front to make the distinction. It looks like radish, but it taste different? Call it horse radish. It tastes like Marjoram, but grows in the wild? Call it wild marjoram. This naming convention leads to many confusions to the modern food enthusiast, who suddenly, can taste items from across the globe in the convenience of  their supermarket alleys. One of my biggest confusions regards the bitter leaves of what I grew to know as "Roka" in Turkey. I'll try to clean this confusion with the help of Wikipedia and the great Carl Linnaeus.

Failed Training Day or Previously on Battlestar Galactica

Things started out bad right from the start. I missed the bus, which cost me 20 minutes under the rain. Then I went in the gym, only to notice that I've forgotten my sport socks at home. I had to go back to the locker room three times because I forgot my magazine, towel and water bottle respectively. It was clear I had no concentration or motivation whatsoever. I stepped on the bike and could only manage 10 minutes. I tried my luck at the weight room, did some abs but I was just not in the mood. So I gave up, went back home and watched two episodes of Battlestar Galactica. I can't get enough of the series, I need a game to go with it. Here is the opening scene which excites me every time: I'll go today instead. I am pretty motivated. Besides, it's a great way to spend the Valantine's Day. (*)Bu kliseyi dillendirmeden duramayacagim "Sevgililerimizi yalniz sevgililer gununde degil, hergun hatirlamaliyiz."
