Who knew????

"omg apparently artificial banana flavoring is based on the gros michel banana which was wiped out by a banana plague in the 50s and the banana we eat today is a totally different thing called the cavendish and thats why banana candy doesnt taste like bananas do you know how lied to i feel. like there was a fucking banana apocalypse and no one told me about it until now"

It certainly does explain an awful lot of odd tasting banana candy.  Necco wafers  come to mind almost instantly

Home made necco wafers.

Hazzah! New Job! New Beginning!

I am so very happy to announce that after many many months of unemployment or under employment, cobbling together a living out of several part time jobs I have finally been offered and accepted a full time job with benefits in the Library at U Mass Boston!

I will be working here:

And have given my notice here, at New England College of Optometry, or NECO for short,

NOT to be confused with.....

Which were until recently manufactured right down the street form the catering company that I've also given my notice to.

Now the factory has been carved up into luxury condos. Now that I have a full time job again I could qualify for a mortgage, thus allowing me to buy a luxury condo. So you see everything has come full circle!
