I tried a Thai place here when I first moved to Colorado and the Pad Thai was sweet. Cloyingly sweet. Took me a while to brave another Thai place. But my second try was a charm and found THE place. Plus they deliver. BONUS!
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
DH's dad wants a new car, a used Mustang convertible, but they only have $1,000 saved up and have decided their kids should buy the car for him. They already have two cars, but the junker he drives makes him feel "depressed," apparently.
Um, WTF?? Seriously?
Yeah, meara--and this after we all ponied up a big chunk of change to send them on a luxury Alaskan cruise for their 50th anniversary. Which is a totally great gift and I was glad to take part, because 50, woo hoo! But they have a nice Jeep Wrangler and their second car does not need to be a convertible their kids pay for.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Thai place near work sucks. Now I have no idea what will get me by until I can get decent Thai delivered for dinner. I guess I should suck it up and do my groceries. And see what comes of that.

I only have an hour left to go, but it will be the longest hour of my life.

Both my home and work neighborhoods are overrun by decent-to-great Thai restaurants. I'd happily trade a few of them for a good Indian place instead.

I've got both a great Thai place (called I Am Siam) and a wonderful Indian restaurant (India House) that I'm tempted to stop by tonight for takeout. I'm really in the mood for some chicken tikki masala and garlic naan.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My fave Thai place in downtown Evanston isn't there anymore. I hadn't been there since our office was downtown, which means the last time I was there was aught-three, but still - why do things have to change over time?
So I went to a different Thai place. The Pad Thai I had was yucky.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Tomorrow we're daytripping a local webcomic convention(called Intervention).
Sunday is the Takoma Park Folk Festival. Hope the weather is nice...
