NYTimes guides to champagne and caviar.
Two of my favorite things. Mmmm.
As her xmas present, I'm taking my minion over to the Caviar Bar at the Ferry Building this Friday. I needed an excuse to sit at the Caviar Bar anyway.
WHY did we not go there when I was in SF?!?
Okay, okay -- the Mission: fun; Ruby the pug: top-notch; leather stores: excellent; Zam Zam: super-keen. (But -- caviar bar! Yum.)
There are disturbing noises coming from downstairs. The network goes down for 30 minutes and it's all Lord of the Flies down there.
WHY did we not go there when I was in SF?!?
I didn't know you were a caviar slut. Next time for sure! I mean jeez, I walked you right by the caviar bar when we went there with Maidengurl and K-bug on your previous trip.
leather stores:
It needs to be noted: discount leather store.
I get all my NYE caviar from Caviarteria. They also have kickass blini.
ION, a toothpick holder for when you want to hurt someone.

Did I mention that A. *loved* her present?
Wait a minute. How come I didn't get to go to the Zam Zam with Teppy?
Okay, that's it. Young lady, you march right back here RIGHT NOW. You're going to the Zam Zam again WITH ME, and you're doing it NOW. No. No back-sass. Zip it! Right. Now. Are we clear? Good.
I'm waiting.
Also, self-defense table!
How come I didn't get to go to the Zam Zam with Teppy?
You were ice skating, IIRC.
Okay, that's it. Young lady, you march right back here RIGHT NOW. You're going to the Zam Zam again WITH ME, and you're doing it NOW.
Okay!
You pretty much know that any news item involving sex and wombats is gonna be good....
From Wired:
Marsupials on the Make
When it comes to the backseat mambo, wombats do it right. A new study reveals that a wombat's lovemaking repertoire includes such high jinks as a complex dance, a butt bite and ferocious backward kicks, reports News.com.au. "It appeared to be a physically demanding process, complete with chasing, biting, grunting and loads of heavy breathing," said Australian biologist Clive Marks, who filmed the first common wombat mating in captivity. Marks' findings will be published this week. After a period of prolonged copulation, said Marks, the female busts a move in a pattern of circles and figures of eight. The male then bites her on the rump, and more fornication ensues. Marks said he hopes his study burnishes the amorous animals' image and renders the marsupials "the symbol of Australian male sexual virility."
