I spent time on the patio earlier, and now I am having wine.

Maybe I should go have it on the patio

It's quite warm here (relatively) so I vote summer is still ongoing. Though for dinner I had spicy tofu and then an apple with peanut butter. Apples are kind of fall.

Suh-soon. I thinks it's a French spelling of an Ohlone word? But I'm probably making that up.

Wow, that was not at all the pronunciation in my head.

I just got back from what I think was the best meal I've had in the last year. It was a friend's birthday and she had a gift certificate to Camino in Oakland. We had:

-- smoked quail over little grilled lettuces -- trumpet mushrooms and lentils -- seafood stew with greens -- lots of bread -- squid grilled on an open fire with fingerling potatoes (also grilled) and cherry tomatoes -- orange cake with grilled grapes

Also, I had a fabulous calvados cocktail to start.

So. Good. And just enough food, as it was all small servings. NOM.

And now to bed, for tomorrow I have much to do.

So S4 SPN, where'd all the rock go? I am at EP12 and so many things annoying me with this season, it seems so less consistent. But the music is missing big time.

The network kept the show on the air, msbelle, but made huge budget cuts. Royalties on the original rock tracks are astronomical, so the music was cut drastically--basically for the rest of the seasons it's only been used for very special plot points.

Timelies all!

Need to go to Office Depot today to get ink for my printer. woo hoo

Do you like the angels, msbelle?

My mother helped me track down this video of a cousin singing. The family is apparently all abuzz about her right now.

I've never met her, but her mother lived with us for a while in England while she was in nursing school. Then mama married a German (word is he's an abuser, but it's not clear how the relationship stands) and moved to Spain and named her firstborn Gigi.

Not loving the Angels.

It seems there should be more working together or guidance. Also some way of getting in touch.

I watched this week's rerun of SPN since it was on after Arrow and Tim was out doing stuff and I was lazy. It's literally only the second episode I've ever seen, but I mostly grasped what was happening.

What amused me was how I totally mispronounce "Castiel" in my head. It took me a minute to realize that when characters said "Cas-tee-ELL," that's who they were referring to. (I thought it would be pronounced "Cas-TEAL." See also, "Ianto.")

Yesterday the interviewer NEVER got back to me. My recruiter actually got someone to go look for him, so he may not have been at work at all (sick?) Will regroup on Monday.

Sounded so promising, too. I'll try to keep it in a positive light as in, "I'm not chopped liver!"
