Drusilla ,'Conversations with Dead People'


Natter 37: Oddly Enough, We've Had This Conversation Before.  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

She, tommyrot.

Brenda, the Gay Marriage bill was given roayl assent today by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court b/c the GG is recuperating from surgery.

I wondered what the Queen thought of this, since we're assenting in her name.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think the Queen must be all for it.

Gotcha. Who is GG now? The last name I can come up with is Romeo Alliare. I knew it wasn't him anymore. (That's him, right? I believe I already mentioned the drunk?)

Wow, the Mock Tudor sounds like my mother's mother. Especially the way she said "father" and "son."

Adrienne Clarkson. Former CBC journalist.

You're thinking of Romeo LeBlanc. Romeo D'Allaire was the General in charge of UN troops in Rwanada.

Oh, LeBlanc, duh. I was trying to figure out the timeline for Rwanda and couldn't do it. Because, not the same person. Which I know, most nights.

Whatever happened to Louise Arbour, by the way?

She's the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights

Yay Canada!

Cool.

I love it when treating myself to a nice meal out after a too-long workday actually becomes a treat rather than a chore. Tonight I stopped by the local Italian/Mediterranean restaurant in my neighborhood and found out they were having a 3-course special for $20. I had the best lentil soup ever, some nicely seasoned caprese, and a Moroccan dish called Fez Jun (sp?) which is veal in a sweet walnut gravy over rice, with zuccini slaw and broccoli. So very yummy.

When I was in Seattle, I went to sushi (very yummy) with Plei, Paul, TICKYBOX, Jilli and Pete, and then we went around the corner to that sold primarily cupcakes. They had big cupcakes, and little tiny cupcakes, and white cupcakes, and chocolate cupcakes, and all of them had buttercream frosting.

So. Good. I don't understand why there isn't a store like that in every single town.
