"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I have trouble believing Canlis is the priciest restaurant in these parts. Yes, it's expensive and iconic, but I thought the Herb Farm would set you back more $$.

I find it hard to believe the French Laundry in Napa isn't on that list (not that I've gotten to go there, but it is crazy expensive). I wonder if that's potential al a carte meals.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

They took the cheapest option on the menu and compared that.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Am too tired to go into details. However, learned the following from my travel companion, who is lucky not to be in jail, and feel compelled to make the following public service announcement:

If you have rented out your apartment to a snaky deadbeat you found on match.com, do not call on your brother's scary jailbird friend to "convince" the tenant to move out. Seriously. It will not go well.

I kind of forgot in the six months or so since I've seen her how much energy my vacation friend takes to not smack her silly, over this and so many other things. Oy.

So kind of a "they should film this and show it at every Xmas" thing, but as a public service annoucement then?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think the most appropriate medium for this message would be "sock puppet theater."

Well that would certainly convey some of the wormier aspects more literally.

I just woke up. So much for getting up early and going shopping.

I'm already in my all-day class. We're learning enums in Java.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Hey, Scola, I've already been up 20 minutes. My plan was "Get up early and work and clean house and wrap packages and shop."

Our wings are not tired.

I got up 2-1/2 hours ago. I've made a pot of tea. And downloaded a cookbook. My computer has been in my lap for 2-1/2 hours. The house is no cleaner.
