Is it wrong to put Roman outside and let Roman (part aussie shepherd) run the dog (which is part cocker spaniel) into the ground?

Hey, it may be the only way to teach the owners to keep their dog in their own yard.

I wonder if there's just one person in the world who's into the fetish, and that person makes a website implying there's more, hoping to find a few more kindred spirits....

a la Fay's theory of the rubber chickens?

I neglected to report the dream I had last week about Amy and Joe.

Their computer had a hose and spigot attached to it which dispensed coffee.

But you still had to go online and buy it from Starbucks.

But you did have the convenience of the coffee hose coming right out of your computer.

Oooh, the three o'clock lull as Easties head home.

Lunch Report: I went to El Trebol in the Mission. I used to go there all the time back in the 80s when I was obsessed with finding great sit down meals for under $5.

Well the prices have gone up. It cost me $5.99 for a Pollo Emcellabondo (sic?) plate. Fried chicken (no coating, just crispy skin. Perfectly done - juicy but not greasy) with onions. Comes with generous portions of rice, beans and salad plus two torillas. So good! And $5.99.

Oooh, the three o'clock lull as Easties head home.

Damn straight. Eat it, still at work people!

Ooh, that sounds yummy! I had one of those soup cups you add water to. But it was curry lentil couscous! Which was yummy, and which they had stopped carrying in DC a few years ago...

Now I think I will throw clothes in the washer, so I have something to wear out dancing tonight. First for an hour of East Coast Swing lessons. Then an hour of West Coast Swing lessons. Then two hours of social dancing at the leather bar (mostly two-step, some line dancing and waltzing)

Friday online shopping report: I just got I, Claudius, Apollo 13, and 101 Dalmatians from Amazon. IC was only $37, so I had to buy it, and the other two were because I was weak and they were cheap.

I'm making dinner. I really need to go grocery shopping and have practically no food here, so dinner is multi-grain flax-seed spaghetti with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sea salt, pepper, and garlic. Possibly some nutritional yeast, too. (Mix nutritional yeast with something salty or vinegary, and you get a cheesy flavor. It's deeply weird.)

(I actually do have some carrots and lentils and split peas, and could make soup. Or I could make some seitan, since I've got some wheat gluten. But both of those would take time and require slicing vegetables, which I don't feel like doing tonight.)

My student copy of 3ds Max came via UPS, just in time for me to get some school work done this weekend!

Gracias, you polyglot!

Is this TJ's by any chance? If so, how is it?
