Happy Fourth of July y'all, hope those of you stateside get a decent amount of sleep through the weekend's intermittent explosions.

Currently reading Michael Ondaatje's 'Coming Through Slaughter' (Paid Link), a work of Historical Fiction about Buddy Bolden, the legendary Jazz cornetist who helped form Jazz in New Orleans - Enjoying it so far.

   Recently learned that this 'Cellantani' pasta from the Barilla company was named in honor of Adriano Celentano - The actor/musician who made the American English Gibberish song, who was nicknamed "Il Mollegiatto", meaning: "The Springy One".
   I'll never be able to eat it again without that song in my head.
