I only have an hour left to go, but it will be the longest hour of my life.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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.

Timelies all!
Tomorrow we're daytripping a local webcomic convention(called Intervention).
Sunday is the Takoma Park Folk Festival. Hope the weather is nice...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have good Thai takeout, but not delivery, and I have perfectly good leftovers I can have for dinner. Duck curry is awfully tempting, but not leaving the house has definite attractions.
I have to go into the next town over to get Indian food, but it's within a two-mile radius. The place I like best was supposed to be opening up a quick takeout window with street food specialties, I should check on how that's coming along.

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.
The WTFness of that is boggling. Currently my monitor and my dishwasher are making me feel depressed, but I can't imagine informing my relatives they should replace them.

Amy, green curries are mild and delicious.
I think I'd be disappointed by a mild green curry. I expect my nose to run and for me to break out in a sweat when I eat it, especially when I make it at home.
I probably shouldn't have come to work today, considering that just chewing lunch wore me out.

Perkins, have a FANTASTIC trip. You too, Scola!
Yay for Allyson book launch.
... other than that, I've got nothin'. Oh, except that I finally get to meet Gail Carriger tonight. And that I've committed to two different Goth/Steampunk rummage sales this month. Time to cull the closets some more!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Maybe I'm thinking of yellow curries. Or maybe I'm evil and just want to hear Amy calling me up to yell at me for making her eyes water and her nose run. (Not really.)
I can neither confirm nor deny that they may also involve cooking Spanish tortillas
Aha!
I was so sad I finished the last one, I made a tiny little Spanish Tortilla using tater tots and it was so cute. And delicious.
This weekend: taking Emmett to Krav, taking Matilda to birthday party. Continuing to watch more early sixties horror for the article I'm writing. (This weekend: Black Sunday, The Innocents, The Haunting, and The Haunted Palace - one of the Corman/Price/Poe movies. Though in this instance it's actually a Lovecraft story disguised as a Poe.)
Oh, and it looks like there's another Mighty Boosh on the Tivo sched, plus I think Venture Bros. is firing up again.
