Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I took lots of pictures and they're in flickr, but I set them to private b/c I was afraid of someone thinking that my pictures indicated approval instead of abject horror. To unlock them I'd have to reup my Pro account, maybe I should do that...

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Spam Readings. Some people might get a kick out of this: my friend Jonathan reads his spam e-mail very dramatically.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Bon voyage, Perkins! Happy book launch, Allyson!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Okay, SFO has a dim sum place right by my gate that was open at 8:30. Ridiculously expensive, but I had bao. BAO! I haven't had bao since we moved.

I also had an empty seat next to me on the way here. Fingers crossed it happens again on my next flight. Which is in...two hours.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

mmm, bao.

What are people doing this weekend?


Amy - Sep 10, 2010 6:59:06 am PDT #23245 of 30001
Because books.

Someone needs to give me a primer on not-too-spicy Thai food I could try. We have at least four Thai places in town.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

This weekend depends on how I feel. Currently I feel like crap. But if it perks up, book signing and ice cream tasting.

Massaman curry should be safe. I also like panang, but you might want to check with each restaurant about spice level.

Pad thai. Maybe larb, which is a cold salad with ground meat, depending on how many peppers they put in it.

Thanks, Dana!

White Castle is definitely nasty. But sometimes ratburgers are just what you need after a night out drinking. ::nods::
