Local Matters

Crowd mentality, group consensus, stage IV cancer, & wars between distant countries didn't like the food and left before the music got good.

That's the spirit!

Does anyone else get that warm fuzzy feeling when they give a someone good directions? I'm starting to be able to give lost souls directions about this new building I'm working in. Once I was even able to give directions to ANOTHER building. My heart feels warm and gushy.

Hi ho hi ho, I had a lazy weekend yo. It was awesome. I sat around reading American Gods, by Neil Gaiman, for ~85% of Sunday, and I STILL haven't finished it. It's long. What I like about it is that it's about America, all the nitty gritty happenings in the present day, but infused with fantasy. The way he's balanced things with just enough fantasy (and a dark fantasy, which makes it a little more realistic), makes it feel like it could really be happening. I read a lot of out-there stuff, but lately have been tending more towards darker realistic material, and this book is a great blend of the two.

Let's see, did I leave the house at all this weekend...yes. We went out to Dim Sum at Ton Kiang on Saturday. I was being real moody on the way over, but fortunately Ton Kiang is delicious enough to slap me on the backside of my head and say, "Shut it and salivate lady!" After that F and I lazed about for a bit and then did domestic things, which were desperately needed. Later on some peeps came over for Rock Band practice. I've figured out how to use the drum foot peddle without causing leg fatigue and am now a rockin percussionist, just like I always dreamed I would be :)

It's old o'clock! Happy Birthday Allen! I can't believe it's your birthday already. Next week is Cary's bday, and then it will be about time for my sister's. I think the best thing about Facebook is that it tells you about upcoming birthdays. That's maybe it's only useful feature. A lot of it is crappy ways for people to email you. Oh look, they can write comments on pictures, comments on walls, private comments, and even, my favorite, COMMENTS ON COMMENTS. Thanks guys. I have a hard enough time keeping track of regular email.
