Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
The last time I was at Asmara with old friends who are SCA veterans (and Debra has a doctorate in Anglo-Saxon linguistics) who were very appreciative of the authentic honey wine offered on the drinks menu, too. And for me, it's really easy to avoid the beef/beef products in the dishes and just concentrate on the chicken, the lamb and the extremely yummy chickpea and lentil vegetarian entrees. Until I ate there, I'd never run into lentil-yummy- anything.

I was reading takeout reviews (once again, not doing a lot of work) today and apparently there is a Jamaican place in Waverly (near work) that is really good. My thought was hey, I can finally figure out what the hell ita and Jesse are talking about with patties and coco bread and...
Also, in my saga of not doing work, I had a higher rank coworker TOTALLY cover my ass (and gilded it) in the process of covering hers. I was working on a portion of a doc she's in charge of. My part is basically done, needs peer review, but the first draft has been done for a few weeks. I just hadn't sent it off (because...well, my first drafts are actually 101st drafts cause I never stop tweaking.) Anyway, boss asked her about her progress and then the status of my part. And she totally sold me as wonderful and excellent and I'd been very thorough and... Which she said having not seen the doc nor checked with me on the status. She told me "well, you always do everything so thoroughly, I figured I wasn't wrong." Which was nice to hear. But also? Really funny. I'm a class A procrastinator.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ooh but it's worth it for you Chicago-istas to venture to Evanston for food at Addis Abeba. Best. Ethiopian. Food. Ever.
Huh. I just walked by that place a week ago and noticed it for the first time. I was thinking I'd have to try it.
::makes note to try Addis Abeba soon ::

I'm a class A procrastinator.Do you think you're a Procrastinating Perfectionist? That's what happens to me. I can't let go of stuff because it could always be better. And sometimes I can't start stuff, because I want it to be perfect, and I don't have the time to make it perfect.

So I'm watching the Pussycat Dolls show, and it's kind of funny because the lead singer from Pussycat Dolls was in that Popstars show, back in the day -- Eden's Crush!

I had a patty for the first time on Friday, I know what they are now! And what they are is delicious. Also tried some goat curry (yum) and ting. Other stuff was also yum, but not new to me.

lori, thanks for the update on Robin. Have you heard anything, today? How's Kat? Does she still have her lungs?
