Tara ,'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
amyth and I stopped there once several years ago, not knowing, and we're still scarred.
I was just looking through my flickr account from 2006/2007 to see if I had photographic evidence, but I couldn't find any. I may have been too traumatized to take pictures. It's probably just as well.
We're pretty sure Corb Lund stumbled in there by accident just a couple of weeks ago, if his Twitter/Facebook updates are anything to go by.
Not crazy! Bean Pot is also a hockey tournament: [link]
I took lots of pictures and they're in flickr, but I set them to private b/c I was afraid of someone thinking that my pictures indicated approval instead of abject horror. To unlock them I'd have to reup my Pro account, maybe I should do that...
Spam Readings. Some people might get a kick out of this: my friend Jonathan reads his spam e-mail very dramatically.
Bon voyage, Perkins! Happy book launch, Allyson!
Okay, SFO has a dim sum place right by my gate that was open at 8:30. Ridiculously expensive, but I had bao. BAO! I haven't had bao since we moved.
I also had an empty seat next to me on the way here. Fingers crossed it happens again on my next flight. Which is in...two hours.
mmm, bao.
What are people doing this weekend?
Someone needs to give me a primer on not-too-spicy Thai food I could try. We have at least four Thai places in town.
This weekend depends on how I feel. Currently I feel like crap. But if it perks up, book signing and ice cream tasting.
Consumer Reports fast food burger ranking:
White Castle is way too high on that list. They are teh nast.
Massaman curry should be safe. I also like panang, but you might want to check with each restaurant about spice level.
Pad thai. Maybe larb, which is a cold salad with ground meat, depending on how many peppers they put in it.
