Hec, i thought of you last night. We went out to Damon's Steak House in Glendale. It's a Tiki Place which has remained essentially unchanged from the 40s. Sassy older waitresses in tropical shirts, thatched roof over each booth, monkey decor, multicolored hanging lights, murals of sarong-clad Native Girls everywhere; the real deal. The food was mid-century plain meat and potatoes American steakhouse, and like going back in time--but it was delicious. You have to go next time you're in town, if you haven't already been.
Mighty fine shindig.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

What is even happening?
Does anyone have the link to that online music test we were all playing with, within the last month or so? I think it was linked here.

Found it: [link] It's actually a tone deafness test.

I have a problem.
I have too much salad.
It's really good, but...I seem to be unable to make meals in moderation. It's celery, black beans, canelli beand, corn and tuna with italian dressing. So freaking good, nice crunch factor, enough protein to make a good meal.
But I made an awful lot.
Anywho.
Lee! My cats are...well, one is paranoid and the other is sleeping it off. They thank you!
Also, msbelle, I got your lovely package (neighbor picked it up while I was gone and just remembered she had it!) and it's in use and I really really need to get some frames for all the lovely family pictures I've gotten this year.
I finally bought a memory card reader today. Looked at external hard-drives (I need to back up this baby and keep pics and eventually music off it since I only have 4.5 Gb left on this machine.) I really should shop online, but at least I now now what I could get grossly overpriced at a store. And it's pretty dang cheap. I mean, I know at work we ship off external drives with mind-boggling capacity all the time, and treat them as sort of disposable. But I've never priced them before.
I try really hard to only know the minimum about computers. It's kind of ridiculous.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I had sweet potato pudding and Gatorade. I even took a picture.
This time tomorrow I'll be in one of those flying metal tubes wondering when dinner will be served. I think I will have to imbibe at my Montego Bay layover.
Laura, what colour is your Jetta?

I had Lean Cuisine for lunch, because I put on about 3-4 lbs over the holiday. Woot. Sigh.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I had a Corner Bakery chicken pomodori sandwich.
For dessert, I have a fever.
Bleh.

Oh, Aimee, that sucks. The fever, that is.
Dude, you got redlined.
I thought this was illegal now?
