I can see following someone famous to various restaurants. The Obamas wouldn't be my first choice, but I get it. If I'm ever in Champaign again I'm definitely going to Roger Ebert's favorite burger joint.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I would eat there because Pelecanos gives it a shout out in almost every book and I dig chili dogs. Although I would be embarrassed to eat one in front of POTUS cause I'm a sloppy klutz and I would prefer that Obama didn't know that about me.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Home from work. Due to an underestimation on my part and a lack of communication with the janitorial staff, two thirds of the compost got tossed in the trash. I assume, anyway. Couldn't find anyone who would admit to touching it. ::headdesk:: Sucks, the volunteers did a really good job. .
My laziness also factored in, so I feel guilty. If I'd gone back earlier...
Oh well. I think shower, then Leverage, then bed. Brunch date tomorrow with guy from Friday night.

One of the snowdrops I planted last fall has a flower budding. Yay!
I demand photographic evidence.
Here ya go. [link] The larger mass of green is an anemone that has come through the winter really well. But there's a wee snow drop among the foliage and the last of the recent snowfall.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Back from dinner. It was really good. We tried going to a wine bar afterwards, but it was too crowded for me, so we came home instead.
