word of the day

ideation

the process of forming and relating ideas

It seems like the kind of word I like to invent from another word, refusing to check if it’s a real word or not, and proudly ignoring the spell checker.

another reason new york is amazing

mmmmmm chocolateThere are specialty grocers who import fine German chocolate, including kinds I don’t think I even saw IN Germany. Good enough reason to move there if you ask me…

The funny this was I looked all over this store thinking they would certainly have the Ritter Sport supply my addiction required – but found only Lindt and a bunch of other fancy organics and such. Then by itself on the way to checkout, was a TOWER of Ritter Sport, with every kind of chocolate they make. The display itself was imported and the only translation of any kind was a sheet of paper taped to it with the price. Heaven. Usually you can only find a half dozen varieties. I think I even said out loud, by myself, “AW NO SHIT!?”…

By the way this Venue for Chocolate, and a million other awesome weird groceries is Zeytuna @ 59 Maiden Lane. AND… Ritter Sport 50 cents cheaper than I can usually find it…

AND-AND below the checkout counter they had other kinds of German chocolate I’ve never seen outside of Germany. Find THAT in the suburbs…
