if you're a foodie, i recomend ruth reichl's Tender at the Bone.
i'm very eye twitchy sleepy today. we've been working very hard over at heather's-work-place this week. i only had to go in for 3.5 hours yesterday but tha was enough after a long week . but monk met me outside my place of employment. we ate tapas that should have been delicious ..and in fact was delicious but was also just too much .. the butternut squash gratin with dried cherries was bursting with squashy goodness and cheesiness but also quite oily as such a thing is wont to be. and the crab manchego warm dip with crostini was also very rich and thick and creamy and you could feel it just turning into little fatty cells that stuck to the inside of your skin and made a plump little new layer. my spinach with raisins and pine nuts was good though. the ceviche was overly limey and made my teeth squeak.
after that we did our dorky date night. we went to fisherman's wharf which is normally my least favorite part of the city. and walked around looking at the wax museum and ripleys believe it or not (didn't go in thogh) and i went into the rainforest cafe for the first time and marvelled at the giant fish tanks.
we went to the arcade and played two person standing up shooting monsters or dinosaur games. very age 15. leaning on each other occasionally and saying things like "good shot, baby" .. yea. dorkalicious. i don't really like video games. (much at all really) but doing it gigantic arcade togetherstyle is fun occasionally
musee mecanique was closed by the time we left at 9something or we would have topped it with my favorite place (musee mecanique = mechanical museum of carnival machines from the early 1900's. very very neato stuff)
as we were leaving the city monk's sister called and persuaded us to meet her at The Mint for karaoke. i nver go on a non-thursday and the oddity of my showing up on a weekend had me getting hugged by door men, KJ's, regulars and bartenders. which made me feel good and scared simultaneously. you know you've crossed to the darkside if you're known well enough that you get hugged and have a drink named after you.
we stayed til 2. not sure how that happened. I hit all mmy macarthur park notes which is a rarity.
good date night.
tried to sleep late today but basically once monk got up to do yardwork with our landlord i never fell back asleep.
so he's going to easter dinner with his grandma and sister and i'm going to kabuki to sit in the hot japanese baths wih amy and soak away our work for a bit.
but first? the last episode of Carnivale from season one. aaaaah how long will i have to wait til dvd's of season 2???????
last night i dreamed that monk took me to iceland and i was going to miss two days of work prior to launch and i was going to be in big trouble but...i mean, i was in Iceland. what did they expect?

i'd like to go to machu pichu and do the inca trail.
