Take me higher
The spark continues.
Damn this apple is good.
Also really good:
Dr. McNinja and Wondermark and Chris Yates
The Great Outdoor Fight on Achewood has finally ended, and even though I was totally sick of it, it wrapped up better than anticipated. Comics are in top form today. It's like golden genius lips kissed us all this week.
Tonight I'm doing the fancy dinner/ symphony thing. Oh so out of the ordinary for me. I hope I burp really loud during one of those lulls in the music where people like me think it's time to start applauding but really it's just a 10 second rest and if you had any class at all you'd know that!
No really, it's gonna be good. I'd love to go out as an adult more often. If only it weren't so damn expensive. It seems like I spend 3/4 of my non-essential income on nice food already. I just....love food. Sushi, French Food, A-Really-Good-Burrito (TM), Food-In-Bed, Spicy Thai Food, Raw Food, Vietnamese Noodle Bowls, Food Truck Food On A Sunny Day, Italian Seafood, That One Really Fancy Meal You Bring Out On A Camping Trip / Burningman To Surprise All Your Friends...
Fuck. I mean, that apple was ok so why did I have to go and start thinking about all the things it wasn't? That's one step away from relationship disaster.

In Wellington, there is this resturant, that will satisfy you in two ways (at least!). It's called, "The Jewel of Nepal", and not surprisingly, it's a Nepalese place. The owner/chef is this highly energetic ex-sherpa named Romie. Every dish on the menu (there are only like five of them) is described as "taking you higher!". Romie himself exhorts you to go higher, both in spoken word and in posters and other literature in his resturant, extolling the beauty of Mount Everest and Nepal, and telling you about how he still organizes hikes to Base Camp. I really want to go do this; I think next year, after I'm done working at Weta, I'll take a few months at least to do things like hike up Everest with Romie, and go to the living food retreat thing that they have in Puerto Rico, and kayak around Fiji.
(Of course, by "I", I really mean, "we", since Kris is all into this, too. You should also come along.)
Anyway, one of the ways in which you are taken higher by the food at Romie's resturant is that it is mega-delicious. It's my favorite place to eat here, and I missed it quite a bit back in CA. Very humble ingrediants, such as lentils and lettuce and rice and potatoes, spiced subtly and deliciously. It is all based on food that he made for his Everest expeditions, and after eating it, you feel energized and satisfied all at once. It's like you can feel yourself getting healthier as you eat it.
Yeah, okay. I'm in too. I'm starting to think it might not be such a bad idea to blow through all of our condo money doing stuff old people can't do (which, despite nanotech, we get closer to every day) and that people with kids would find difficult to do. Everest! Costa Rica for a month for $750! Biking over all of Australia! Africa! Let's get moving. As soon as I get rid of all this crap I've accumulated.
That's right. I'm gonna comment on every post, cuz I'm just too lazy to write my own blog posts. THAT LAZY.
