Purses of juice

At the urging of my son, who had been introduced to them at school, I bought a pomegranate. I had never eaten one, although I had had some of the juice before.
The pomegranate set up is intimidating. All those seeds made me feel like I was failing before I even started.

Then I came across a short video
that promises to crack the pomegranate code in less than 10 seconds  It dispelled the mystery shrouding these little blood red pearls of juiciness. The guy who presents this trick is really into pomegranates, he's very convincing that trying them is something not to be missed.

Now that the code has been cracked, now that I know that these seeds embedded in tiny purses of juice quench thirst like no other seed I have tasted so far, I cannot stop thinking about them.

I am having pomegranate shaded dreams.

It is so FUNNY." And yes, I almost did pee myself, but I also cried through almost the entire last half of the movie.  I did not laugh so hard I cried, I just plain sobbed. I felt really sad watching the story of two friends come to terms with how their friendship was changing.  I was really surprised by my reaction after all the hype about how hilarious the movie was, but I knew why.  The brilliance of this movie was how life can be so hilarious and painful at the same time.    Yesterday, I was on a social networking site and one of the people I follow mentioned that she cried "proper tears" upon reading a story about a woman's tragic childhoo
