I'm looking at menus for restaurants in Sarasota. I found a place that has a lot of options, but one of them is making me blink quite a bit. It's a vegan Cuban sandwich. Since a Cuban sandwich contains something like three different kinds of pork, this seems like a somewhat futile undertaking, although I know that I did notice a recipe in the vegan Latin cookbook I was looking through. But this one is served on rosemary foccacia. As far as I can tell, the only similarity to the traditional Cuban sandwich is the pickles and mustard.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
It was pretty meh. And confusing, being French. Asia Argento is hot, though. Oh well. Bedtime.

Which French trashy vampire movie?

Happy birthday to Pix and Maria!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Cass! I hope our window of opportunity to see each other doesn't happen when I am in DC. Text or email me when you get settled and know your schedule. Also, pls stay away from the Daleks.
We're even not in Florida until ... Tuesday? Your area the following week? I will email you tomorrow, probably before dinner depending on when I get some email time. Want Laura time! I think it'll totally work.
I am trying to believe it is really almost midnight and bedtime. It's what the clock says... It's nearly what my body says.

Happy Birthday Pix & Maria!!!

Today was thesis critique day. #2 of three for the quarter. Before the show, we went to Vegetarian Grill. Had a veggie cheeseburger. After the crit, we went to a Peruvian restaurant, and had a few fruity sangrias with dinner. Tomorrow the show closes, and we take apart the system and pack it away.

Does anyone have advice for moving across country? Especially trying to find a place to live before moving.
It helps to have some boots on the ground that can look at places for you, and act as a liaison with landlords. Figure out what is the best local paper/source for finding the good deals. Consider renting a place that is a bit sterile, and large development. They tend to be safer, although boring. But makes for a good spot to land until you can recon the area and learn the neighborhoods on your own.

And ION - yooooo. Yoooo. And slightly woooooowwwwww. Remember that course I'm somewhat TA'ing (minus grading)? Respectable Prof. asked me to enter the class tomorrow, introduce myself and the new system for 10 minutes and answering questions.
I'm supposed to be the audience, not the TA - TAs are MA students, not BA students! So all weird, excited, and wow.

And I think it's time to admit that I'm bitter about Valentine's Day this year, unusually for me.
I find that I am more bitter about V day when I have a prospect that's not working out or an unrequited love/lust situation. As I have given up on the only prospect in eons, I am quite zen this year.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm watching a probably trashy French vampire flick in the hopes of improving my mood. If it fails, bedtime.
I'm just back from watching the eminently trashy, and highly entertaining Seed of Chucky in front of a full house at the Victoria Theatre, with the star and director taking a Q&A.
