Oh, man, I can get sucked into research so easily. I'm such a dilettante info whore.
Or Mata Hari.
Didn't she get shot or beheaded? I don't think she was very good at spying; she liked the attention too much. She used to appear at partied in the 20's or 30's at Natalie Barney's -- Colette wrote about partying with her.
I think it was Natalie Barney - lesbian socialite in Paris, poet/novelist. (quick check). Yep; read her bio. Fascinating. Or her lover's bio. Or a novel. God, I can't remember now.
Anyway -- I would be better than poor ol' Mata Hari.
Ok Jane Eyre it is. That and more paper to go through.
Finally ate at Rock Sugar at the nearby mall yesterday. It's been catching my eye for a while, but it always looked really busy. Yesterday we were there early for proper dinner, so we got seated quickly. I really liked the pan Asian fusion they had going on.
The pork belly buns were especially intense--sweet and bacony. I pretty much liked all the dishes (it was a sharing setup) and would definitely recommend them. And their lemongrass mojitos.

Running like a muppet, IIRC.
That game was nervewracking! We watched it with my grandmother because my parents' heat is out, so we were down there. She had already told my mother she wouldn't be up for dinner because of the game, which cracks me up. We'll have a Superbowl party for the four of us, because it's hilarious, and my mother and I love queso. But the Superbowl isn't actually played until nighttime, right?
Wow, JRM and Kiera Knightley dance really badly together. He's still exceptionally pretty.
