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

And on the flip side, the first time my mother had a dinner party after moving from NYC to the midwest she was horrified when guests showed up right on time and she was still unshowered and in her bathrobe.

IME you're not expected to show up to parties on time, but a dinner party can't be that late, because the meal is timed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would plan to serve dinner an hour after the stated time of a party, but would still expect people to show up relatively close to the time. But I show up nearly everywhere on time!

I did not know that Ira and Philip Glass were cousins!

Also, my day was crap. People were crap, my lunch made me feel like crap, and my coworker spent most of the day trying to mollify me for planning to dump a huge project on me for no other clear reason than she's intimidated by men.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

So, I never have Indian food because I am afraid that it is too spicy for me. How does the spicy in Indian food rate to Thai food or Mexican food?

Well, like either of those, there is spicy and not-spicy stuff. At least in terms of hotness -- there are a lot of spices in Indian food, for sure. I think the hottest food I've ever had was Thai, though.

We ate ate the East India Grill on La Brea, Tamara. They have four levels of spicy, and you can specify when you order. Their mild and even their medium is well flavored with little heat.

I find the burn in Indian food to be mellower that Thai or Mexican. Usually because there is a real blending of spicy, sweet, startchy. Admittedly, I never really go for the pickle condiments that are really hot. Also, they have raita, which is a spiciness-cooling yogurt dish.

That place is very close to my house, Sean. I will give it a try.

Yeah, raita cuts the heat nicely on the spicier dishes, and serves as an excellent compliment for mild dishes.

It gets the seal of approval from S and *me*. S and *me*.
