My youngest sister won't eat the raw fish version of sushi. However, Nori is the taste she sometimes can't take.

so this

I definitely support starting out on sushi with cucumber rolls or something else non-fishy, because it's the other flavors (including the ginger) that I think are the make-or-break on enjoying it. I could be wrong.

is quite accurate in her case

Interesting article on spherical perspective: [link]

I'm here to undermine your world view. We always assume that what we are taught about perspective is the way we actually see. But it's not. In the outside world there are straight lines, so we put them that way into our pictures. We have developed complicated schemes of geometrical rules to guide us. We take photos with cameras that have lenses that carefully distort the world to make it fit with the expectation that straight line should be straight. But visually they are not.

Oops

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Robin!

Got in very late last night from St. Louis. Really should go to bed now.

I would eat sushi until my belly burst open, if only I had the money. When SA visits me, we eat sushi in obscene amounts.

If I'm being moderate, I eat a 6- to 9-piece roll and maybe 2 or 3 pieces of sushi.

Nom nom nom.

Never get between me and my sushi. Consider that fair warning to alla y'alls.

Looking at our sushi place on their "Friends of Teppo" it seems George Clooney is a friend of Teppo.

I did a *serious* double-take on that statement. Dang! He's even from this area, but alas, George Clooney is NOT a friend of Teppy.

ita? a long overdue insent.

sushi sushi sushi sushi! I am going to make sushi onesies for my noodles soon.

And maybe sushi diapers so I know which ones are ours and not the diaper sevices.

I'd like a prezzie from the universe too. And I think I got one in the form of a job offer after my interview. I have 2 concerns and a qualm. If I take the job, I become a UCLA employee... so I have concerns about health insurance (I wonder what will happen with Grace since she is in the midst of being cared for etc) and I have a concern about the commute.

Everything else about the job feels just right. I have the option of working part time or full time. Which makes me think about what we can afford.

That's great, Kat! You were certainly due for some kind of break. Good luck making a decision and ironing out the concerns and the qualm.

Congrats, Kat. I am so glad you got a good thing.

Congrats on the offer, Kat.

Am mostly dead. Upstairs, eldest nephew is still roaring about. I need to make him do more laps. Youngest nephew started being a fussbudget late afternoon, after being a complete angel for me all weekend. Not my fault! But you can still coax a dimpled grin out of him between squawks.

Now I'm going to bed.
