There should be little sushi carts that wander through the neighborhood as the evening cools, with their tingaling little bell and the cries of "Unagi! Sashimi!"
You'd eat sushi from a NYC street cart? Brave man!
Do you know what else has blood in it? Blood.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm finally learning how to shop on the Internet. I went to the online site for the Avenue, found the styles and colors I wanted, called the local stores to see if they were available (they had them for $3 cheaper but no colors I wanted), so I went with the online purchase. I did manage to find a 20% coupon by googling "Avenue coupon", so I saved almost $10 on four shirts--after priority shipping so they'll be here by this weekend, I still only paid $56 for them. Not too shabby!

Yeah, maybe just in Japantown.
There used to be a bar that had a sushi chef come in on Sunday afternoons and everybody loved it. Beer and sushi.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Kathy, if you get on the Avenue mailing list, they will send you coupons *incessantly*.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I have never seen anyone famous at our local places, only the 'Vine, and there it seems so startlingly random everybody kinda forgets who they are. With the exception of Fred Schneider because I loves him forever.

Yeah, I know (I used to work for them many years ago), that's why I checked off the "do not send me e-mails" box on my order.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Raw fish? Never tried it, probably never will. Even the idea of steak tartare turns my stomach.
See, that's funny, because I think raw steak sounds way grosser than raw fish. Note that I enjoy eating both of them. Along with raw oysters and raw broccoli.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Amych is totally right! I bet there's a software package out there for clueless restaurateurs. I don't even know how to spell that word.
"about" page with rambly ghost-written stuff
A relatively high-profile restaurant opened up in town with a colleague as one of the co-owners. Her profile in the "about" part is all about how she is a great lawyer and great FOH. (E.g., "She looks equally at home discussing the complexity of law as providing a warm presence on the floor.") I mean, who could possibly have written that but her? Who has that POV? Ugh.

Heh. I've never bothered, just in case I need a coupon at some point.

I've seen John Mahoney a few times in the Oak Park/Forest Park area (I helped him in the library back in 1990, and he was at the car wash when Mom and I were there a few years ago--she went up and thanked him for his work right before we left, and he was very sweet about it).
