Today we saw the movie Udon. Which is a Japanese film about Udon. and it is one of those food movies. very funny, very good and made us go eat udon. It was also an early celebration of my birthday = a plant of big pink Gerber ( ?) daisies and a tee shirt with a cute skull with a bow on it. My sister did good.

I found the t shirt

every one feel better

Breyer's peach is nummy. And mango sorbet, whatever brand I can find, usually Harris Teeter house brand.

Oh, and now I want key lime pie. Our favorite seafood place used to serve lemon meringue and key lime pie for dessert. The place had been running for three generations, but unfortunately when the owner died, his son had no interest in keeping on with it. He sold it, and it's now a sports bar. They don't serve the good seafood, nor any sort of pie.

A good key lime pie is to die for. I think I've had two good ones. Call me Buffy.

Max's Diner has a killer key lime pie. They give you a HUGE slice and I can only eat a couple of bites....but orgasmic.

We did have pie for dessert. and some how this made me think of ice cream. No room for ice crea now, but My favorite ice cream comes from a store that exists only in two places in CT.

their rich chocolate is perfect - very rich , very chocolate and not sweet. And I always got the three scoop version and finished Matt's. But in the summer I waited, and waited for the fresh peach ice cream. short season. so good.

Any ice cream fresh is awesome. I never really liked strawberry ice cream except at my grandparent's farm. We would make it with an old hand crank ice cream maker with the ice and the rock salt and all. It was fantastic.

You know, I think of my face as fairly generic. I mean, I'm white, I've got glasses, and I'm blonde, and otherwise I tend to figure my only real distinguishing characteristic is my hair, so I don't really expect people I've only met a couple times to recognize me, especially when I've significantly changed my hair. So it gives me kind of a warm feeling when they do, as juliana's friend just did with no prompting and no cues (i.e., juliana wasn't even with me). Yay, my face is not completely bland and lacking in character!

ETA: Er, or he just noticed the "hey, I know you" look and ran with it. He might just be a good improviser.

Bleh. Woke up. Can't get back to sleep.

I stayed up all night working on my taxes. I'm a delinquent and didn't finish some previous years so I've been working on them too. I also didn't pay my last 2 estimated tax payments for this year's. I have enough $$ in the bank to cover at least.

Now to go to bed!

Your face is not bland, and who? M?

I had the Emily tonight, and it was good. She got a lot of my clothes that don't work for me any more. We were planning on going to dinner, but then I Got A Call, asking me to bartend at the bar downstairs (which is only wine, beer, and soju). Em was okay with that, so we got pizza and I bartended and Emily chatted with another friend of mine for a while and I tought her how to play dice and it was a pretty good night.

Oh, and Daisy? There's a provisional offer out there for you & me to bartend downstairs on Saturday. It depends on 1) how you feel about it and 2) how the regular bartender's knee is doing (currently not well, which is why I filled in). So. It would cancel rampaging, but it might be fun. And everyone could sit in front of us and be amused.
