Food note: Today I rediscovered the beauty of a whole fat fresh scallion sautéed just until the green changes.
Geek note: It takes all freakin’ day to compile KDE.
Drink note: The Macallan 12 year is a beautiful thing and on sale for $38 at Hi-Time.
Car note: based on an observation in the Hi-Time parking lot, the Lotus Elise is a beautiful thing if and only if you do not get it in a loud lime green color.

End note: Everyone needs to read (more) Graham Greene
Kerry Getz played D’s again tonight. She’s too good for this circuit. This isn’t the best-shot photo in the world but it captures her personality pretty well. She asked me right after that if I was one of the “infamous bloggers” and I didn’t really know what to say.
I let someone check his email with my Powerbook and have a friend for life, I think, because he got one email with a big new job for him to do and one back from the girl he likes.
Talked to Rachel and her friend.. Candy? They’re both college freshmen and full of excitement! which is great to hear.
Managed to avoid being murdalized by drunks or running over any of them as they skittered across 17th St. from the IHOP parking lot to Pierce Street Annex, Bar of the Damned.
Currently I am still in a cooking frenzy. I am simultaneously roasting a corned beast and making fish soup with a crapload of saffron in it.
Sometimes you see a news story or a link or whatever and think “Hey, this friend of mine would be interested. Other times you might see one and say “Wow, this is tailor made for this one friend of mine!” And then there’s the time you see a web page and say “Holy crap! brianenigma is controlling the universe somehow!”
Combining Bettie Page and an inflatable monkey in one blog update. What are the chances, folks?
I was looking for a cheap pocket watch because my old one died, and bemoaning that there weren’t any decent ones that didn’t have Ye Olde Railroade engraving or some kind of paramilitary slogan. I went to Fossil’s site and was poking around because they’ve done some okay ones in the past, and rumplestimpskin was looking too and found this awesome robot keychain watch!

torgo_x is a superstar and found somewhere in the search cache a file of all the Leisuretown oneliners. This is why he is going to his own personal Heaven, while we strum harps and praise him.
Let’s go to Riverside County!

My car is down for the count, needs a new transmission. Won’t have it back until next Thursday. Thank goodness that Freddy at Tustin Acura is giving me a loaner car, and that this is all under warranty and won’t cost me more than $50. I wonder what a transmission replacement at the dealer would cost otherwise? Shudder.
Thank you for being a cool guy, Freddy at Tustin Acura.
