also, I did not eat any of the foods on the Accidental Hedonist list posted by Jessica the other day. Tom's mother cooked for us from Thursday night through Monday morning and it was all very, you know, old school. Roast lamb, boiled veg, boiled potato. Roast chicken, boiled veg, boiled potato. leftover lamb stew, boiled veg, boiled pototo. beef stew made with the toughest meat evah, boiled veg, boiled potato. You get the idea. When we got to London, I was so starved for spice that all we ate was curry, both Indian (OMG Teh Yum) and Thai.
Somehow the MIL even managed to make UK bacon taste like complete utter and total ASS. boggling. we stuck to musli after that.
Thank god for delicious, sweet, delicious, beer.
"Suburban Shootout." It's British. A lovely English village, except that the ladies of the village are two rival mobs vying to recruit the new woman who's just moved in with her cop husband. She was invited to take a small ride with a lady and her creepy butch driver and has been tricked into pushing the button that blows up the wicker store whose proprietors have missed their protection payment.
It's like YOJIMBO with tweed.
oh, nora, I was just in London this past week, sorry that I didn't know that you'd be there, I would have tried to meet up or something.
I drank a lot of different real (cask-conditioned) ales while in St. Andrews, Edinburgh, and London.

s'okay, Vortex. We had so much family stuff going on in such a small amount of time, it would have been difficult. I shall console myself with the knowledge that I will see you in SF in May!
Tep, it was SO GOOD. Will update LJ with lists soon, hopefully.
Sigh. British beer. Sooo good.
Welcome back, Nora!

BT is adorable. As is Tep.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RAQ!!!

Cass, I'm glad the move is done. Sorry the movers were teh suck. I suggest that you smite them.
Why am I the only person in the office? Where did everyone go? If they're not here working, I'm not going to work either!

I have to go back to work today, all day.
That probably means I have to get dressed.
Blech.
