I don't mind being predicted when I'm actually predictable. Years ago, I went to a decent inexpensive place, they seated me. The 2nd time they said "Of course you want your usual table" and took me to the same table they had picked for me the 1st time. I never went back a 3rd time. I'm too tired to come up with a good analogy, but I did not like it. Something 2nd date inappropriate on a second date?

So last month, Mark and I were supposed to meet someone from Mark Watches. She was visiting her aunt in Oakland, and we were going to meet for lunch on Piedmont. Except she didn't show up. I called and texted multiple times and received no response. I think we waited almost an hour before giving up and just eating.
Well, I just found out why she didn't make it.
Her cousin was eaten by his pet tiger.
Seriously.

Oy vey. I don't know what to say about that. I mean sad for her and sadder for her cousin.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Not too great an outcome for the tiger, either, who had no chance to avoid being raised and kept as a completely inappropriate "pet". I am, however, very sorry for her sorrow.

Whoa, P-C. That is...insane. And very sad. Also, what Bev said.
I totally did the llama drama, and now I'm about to go to work and try to get everyone there to do it.

Damn, PC. That sounds like a side plot in a Coen Brothers movie.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
P.-C., my jaw dropped open when I read that. How horrible.
I keep signing Bolivian llama and laughing like a loon.

Holy crap, P-C - that's just terrible.
I love the Llama Drama sign.

I love the idea of llama drama (and yes, I did the sign here at my work desk), but I need to be able to use it appropriately. When is that?
