Then fall apart, then start again

Rabbit, rabbit. The weather around here is doing its best impression of the hurricane we didn't get in August.

Last night lesser_celery brought me an early birthday present: a copy of Patricia Russo's Shiny Thing. I've also now got a DVD of The Legend of Hell House (1973), which I should really not watch this afternoon, seeing as how Alison and I are supposed to spend the evening with Spice & Wolf (2008) and Ethiopian food.

I am extremely glad that the tank-driving mayor of Vilnius showed up to the Ig Nobels to claim his Peace Prize.

In eight days, I'll be thirty.

I'm a bit early, but I'd like to wish you a happy birthday.

Thank you! It's appreciated.

How was the Ethiopian food?

It was good. We ate at Addis Red Sea in Porter Square; I think I prefer Asmara in Central Square (among other things, the bread is better), but I succeeded in my plan to eat a great deal of kitfo, so.

Strangely, it's called The Shamrock.

That's kind of awesome.

The guys there are very laid-back when it comes to paying- the-bill-time. Martin and I have come away, and often felt we've been undercharged. They serve a fantastic mead there, and as vegetarians we get a good choice. It took me a while to get used to eating injeras with my bare hands. I think a visit is pending!
