And afterward, we must share our beautiful New Orleans whore cake. And mint julips. You know the place.

Montessori Spring Concert this evening. I’m hoping for some racist/sexist/gay bashing ditties. Maybe a Screwdriver cover or two. Won’t hold my breath, though. 

I can hang later. 

Speaking of Screwdriver, years ago when I worked at a local residential treatment facility, a young man who fancied himself a skinhead (and who doesn’t love a fancy skinhead, anyway?) brought from home some screeds from the Natl Assoc for the advancement of White People—-David Duke’s crew. One of the pamphlets railed on about celebrating the historical achievements of Whitey. Included in the examples of great white people over the years were Leonardo DaVinci, Plato and Aristotle. I think Jesus was on the list, too.

I like food.  Right now I’m eatin’ me some today’s special lamb biryani from Rasa Ria.  God, I love that place.  Cripes!  Lil’ cup of lamb and tater curry with spicy cashew rice and pickled broccoli, greenbeans, cauliflower, carrots, and pineapple.  SO good. 

Even though it’s a zero atmopshere place, the food is consistently astounding.  I think it might share top billing with Martini’s for best restaurant in kalamazoo—two totally different things, but reliably delish.  I like SProut, too, but haven’t been there enough to know the consistency level! And it’s a little pricey to be a regular stop.  Except maybe for Sunday brunch.  Which is delicious.  And I will stop.  Speaking in sentence fragments.

Any day now.

MAN am I sleepy.

Gado Gado, yo!

When I walked in and saw biryani on the special board, I glanced at two ladies that were already eating and asked "is that they biryani?"

"Nope!  Gado gado and you gado gado try it sometime!"

Up with people. Thank you, late-middle-age-ladies for redeeming humans somewhat after I got so made at our species with the bear story this morning.

….WHERE are we eating tonight?  I am horrifically sleepy from not sleeping much at all last night, so don’t know if I’ll be up for after-hangings.  But a body’s gotta eat, even if a body has previously eaten itself into pain with biryani!

I would love my own R2 unit. We could have fake conversations where he frantically warns me of danger, and I just translate all of his blips and twitters as witty repartee.

R2: Tweet, bloop, beep!
Me: Well that’s true to an extent, but you must admit that the kids do enjoy the MySpace.
R2: Bleep, bibble, boint!
Me: What do they do on the MySpace? Why, wait for it to fucking load!
R2: Boorpooowheee!
Me: I think you’ve got your Robert Benchley in my H.L. Mencken.

Exasperated and electric whistles then presage my imminent demise.

As far as dinner goes, we Inksterites will be on the road to grandma’s house in Brighton. Hopefully, we’ll see some of you on Saturday.

xo,

N.

Where? I was hoping we’d much farther along by now.

I shall remind you of the downtown offerings:

OPP

Smarvey’s

Screwy’s

Metro invasion by Hetro

The place that shall not be named lest a discussion break out

Bell’s

(beginnning to grasp at straws…)

….are there really just 6 of us in for dinner tonight?  Ron?  Kanckerses?  UE et Crappor?  mickles?  OFMG?  Anyone?  if the crew’s really just six, should we try to scam some OP action? 

And Nate, do you need to pick up anything at our house before you leave town?

Ask R2 and see what he says!

The big event is this weekend. I forgot. I have already made commitments to an aging hippy folk singing son of a folk singer.

I’ll go anyplace. I dunno. Where do YOU want to eat?

OFMG may hit the scene… but I R try to pick up some bike parts tonight if it works out, so I could be iffy.   I have a pref for someplace quiet… Smarvey’s or Metro get a vote for where I can hear others … I’m old , my eyes are dim I can not see… My hearing has gone the way of the dodo.

what… ?

I totally forgot about that link. We watched it before lunch, and began researching pricing before we were interupted by non-humorous colleagues. I was starting to get freaked out by the web cam w/ light saber remote and PHONE.

What’s all this talk about hippies? Is there still cake coming, or should I eat more twizzlers?

Cake for all. And the mint is up.

I will also say ‘arvey’s or Mentos.

So I’m calling it Harvey’s. Who wants to argue?

downstairs!  See you there!

Ok, I won’t argue.

I want to eat and hang yes, but I got so many things to do this afternoon so I am out.  For those of yall who are going to see F&M tomorrow, we ride.

Well, pretty late on the draw here… you know, work has really become work for me.  CG expressed interest in eating out with all y’all tonight, but I’m wondering how much room there will be at Smarvey’s, and am also concerned about Kap’n Jr getting a comfortable seat there, in case there were no low table seating available.  With 6 you can be looser, with 6 you get eggroll, with 9 you get to wave your freak flag high. How’s that for non-committal?

we’re out - or at least I’m callin it.  I woke up with a sinus headache, and it is just NOW  starting to subside.  so, long story short, I think I will eat from the big comfy couch tonight.

enjoy all

If there’s room, we’ll sit at a little big table.  Liberal amounts of reactionary, knee-jerk queer beers are on me.
