I had forgotten that about Louis-Dreyfus, assuming I ever knew it. Good on her for being a pretty productive member of society regardless.
We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

OMG, shrift. I think I could die right now, die of food.
I'm going to go cook. But I'm going to do it with a sort of desultory air, in deference to your superfantastic evening out.

Art Crawl!!!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It really does.

That's just phenomenal. Love how you got the tours and all.
Cracking up over the bored oncologists. One of the things my brother loves about going to cancer conferences is that he gets meals at places he'd never be able to afford (or drag his wife to.) His reports from those revolve around food and swank hotel rooms.
I'm sorry to say, I probably would have been terrified the whole time. I am so not used to eating out, nevermind FABULOUS eating out. Hell, the last time I even came close to splurging was with megan walker and lisah, and that's probably the most I've spent on a meal (which was quite worth it! Oh, the duck...) And I probably exposed my poor taste by not liking the amuse bouche thing at all. (Or not. It was almost tailor made to be poison to sarameg: texture issue, a certain sweet + savory combo I can't do because it reminds me of a liquid antibiotic that made me urp.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sometimes you can find out exactly what money is for. Food and service? So very high on the list.
Why were you there, shrift? I mean, apart from the bit where you should be. I think I missed that.

It really was fantastic, you guys. Crazy, but fantastic.
But I'm going to do it with a sort of desultory air, in deference to your superfantastic evening out.
Dude, right now I'm making spicy chicken soft tacos which I shall wash down with a fine Corona while watching TV. I'm so high class.
I'm sorry to say, I probably would have been terrified the whole time.
Well, sarameg, I was terrified going in, but I decided to embrace the experience because I probably will never be able to eat there again. I'm not used to eating at fancy places either, aside from the few ritzy places I've been on the company dime.

We were supposed to go with someone else months ago, but she had to cancel at the last minute. And because she is crazy awesome (eta: and makes a lot more money than we do), she sent my roommate the money to go anyway. So belated birthday celebration all around.

I'd say that was a good call, shrift. Plus, good company always helps.

You know, it's a damned shame someone that cool didn't get to have that kind of food fun, but good on her for enabling y'all.
Okay, now me for lie down. I survived the day at work. I got work done. I am so over it.
