Noticed how important that title is while buying tickets for +William Shakespeare Globe Theater play in #London. I sooooo wanted to select Baroness as my title!

Yey. Of course I'm totally trying this out +Google + Music ! It's got Pandora-like endless music streaming, radio service, and of course streaming music unlimited for a monthly fee. And it's free for a month.
Back when Google music came out I uploaded some of my music to it. Due to limited space it uploaded only part off my collection. What's worse, mostly disco music (don't ask). So now all my recommendations are related. Luckily there's a one button delete uploaded music only, which keeps your Google purchases intact (unlimited storage).

I haven't used iPod in ages, I haven't turned my PC on since I moved, have a personal grudge against spotify, didn't wanna listen to disco, so really I've been using Pandora or listening to NPR. This is gonna be such an awesome change (need a break from world's problems, but I still love you NPR).

How do I feel about the new +Google+ look?
As long as I don't have to update my cover photo again, I'm good!

Sweet #baklava with coffee at Maza. Thanks +Google Offers , especially for the remind that my offer was about to expire.

I broke Google Now on #nexus 4 twice now. As grumpy as I am for having to restore to factory settings TWICE so far, I have to say the restore is super easy and with +Google Play and all the +Google Drive integrations it pretty much remembered all of my settings including wallpaper!
Now, I still had to enter all my passwords, but still.

How did I break Google now? Well, I wasn't trying, I swear. A Google calendar card appeared with address for my next appointment. For some reason, Google assumed I would drive, thus offering me driving direction. So naturally, I switched transportation mode to public transportation and BOOM it crashed :(

Now, I enjoy troubleshooting, so I tried so many different options before I resorted to factory reset. Sigh.

P.S. of course I reported details to Google with: Dear Google...

“I couldn’t forgive him or like him, but I saw that what he had done was, to him, entirely justified. It was all very careless and confused. They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

I'm annoyed by Google now cards. I hid the public transit one once and now it doesn't come up at all. Ugh!

#juicing pulp cookies
Made juice this morning. Mine: orange, ginger, and carrots. My boyfriend's: apple, ginger, and spinach.

I combined all the pulp, added yogurt, almond butter, oats, and honey. Topped with grated 100% cocoa from Trinidad (a friend brought some from her trip).
Baked in the oven (360) for about 30 minutes.

They're 'interesting'. Certainly edible.

Due to being sick (blah), I had to cancel my vacation. So instead, I bought the #nexus phone. Can't wait for my new toy to arrive. #g2 was super buggy, can't wait for a stable phone.
Bought it directly from +Google Play
Should arrive in 2 days.

Just finished a 3hr photography class, thanks #groupon. It was mostly theory and about dslr camera. I couldn't even bring my cannon g12. That's ok, I still learned a lot, and it's a great 3hr date that includes wine and cheese.
Cheese!

It's magnificant - makes you feel tiny and part of something bigger (history). Part of the White City +Justin Smith ?

They also do weddings here (we walked into one).

After super bad commute home, I'm having to catch up with work. However, when it's sunny outside, even working with a sunny window view feels great. #welcomeSpring

After doing a no dairy month of March (just to see how my body would feel), I'm replacing milk in coffee with almond milk.
it's pretty easy to get used to eating non dairy, but hard to manage when eating out or when buying packaged food. It is crazy how much dairy is in everything, even in products you feel shouldn't have any.

Whoa, this is a first! Sometimes I forget that outages can happen to +Google+  just like any other company. 
This is a 2nd 1st from Google (first google docs couple of weeks ago, and now google calendar).

#satoimo First time making this veggie from Japan. I translated it to being very similar to potatoe, so gonna peel n boil them. I guess texture is supposed to be slimy :( Sigh only veggies I don't like are okra (cause it's slimey) and lima beans (cause they're weird).
Well... I'll give it a shot. Hope this goes better than the experiment with winter melon...
