li_kao was in town last night, huzzah! We went to The Queen of Sheba. (Random interjection: My current hypothesis is that every metropolitan area in America with a population greater than 500,0000 has an Ethiopian restaurant called Queen of Sheba, or a variant thereof. Besides the Portland restaurant, there's a Queen Sheba in Seattle, and a Queen of Sheba in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. In fact, New Rule for Candy: I will now only patronize Ethiopian restaurants with the words "Queen" and "Sheba" in their names.) HANYWAY, the food was excellent, as was the conversation, and afterwards we availed ourselves to doughnuts from Voodoo Doughnut and went back to my place, where we talked some more.
2. I don't feel sick, but my lymph nodes are massive--the size of really big grapes, and tender to the touch. The pressure is actually making my throat hurt a little. SEXY.
3. OH DEAR LORD BATTLESTAR GALACTICA IS CRACK. My biggest regret right now is how my stupid need for sleep and to get work done is interfering with my ability to watch all 2.5 seasons in one glorious glom.
4. I'm looking forward to the holiday season like you have NO IDEA.
Well, OK, some of you might have an inkling.
5. Dinner and assorted adventures withpiezocuttlefish tomorrow, wheeyay!
