Odds and ends of non-linky things

[daemonluna]

For all that the morning started with a call from the dentist's office (despite the almost three hours I spent there Monday, they needed me back for one more mold of my teeth), today's looking pretty good--it's starting to feel like springtime outside. Sun! Warm sun!

Sunday, we consumed vast amounts of sushi and noodles, with Dan and Mannie, queenzulu, mockingspike, cguy, nekosei, drakkenfyre, and svartormr. Quotable moment: mockingspike staring sadly at his dumplings, "I can never talk about Chinese food with my mom. She calls these 'potlickers,' and that's just not something I want to hear my mother saying."

(Various conversational tangents led us to wonder what would have happened if drakkenfyre and Mannie had been at the same end of the table. I remind everyone that last time that happened, by the end of the evening they were planning on starting their own porn studio together.)

We have determined that full of sushi is the best state in which to visit T&T's, the big Chinese grocery market, to stock up. (Dumplings and sticky rice for dim sum and jasmine tea and karashi and dashi and nori for avacado rolls and copious amounts of edamame. But sadly, we got there too late for coconut buns or BBQ pork buns.)

Not-so-seekrit message to queenzulu and drakkenfyre: To add a syndicated rss feed to lj, go here and just paste the link into the box. And if you see a feed on lj, clicking on the rss symbol will take you to the profile of the feed to add it to your flist. Ie, my book blog at elis_reads is here, and Dan and Mannie's blog at pocky.org, pocky_dot_org is here.

Speaking of which, Dan's been posting some videos lately, including Lizzie in the snow (cute corgi with frisbee and frolicking! Yes, jetwolf, it's a cute puppy video and I am looking at you!) and cooking okonomiyaki.

And if you're feeling link-deprived, here are some of the yummy things troutkitty has put together lately: lemon-ginger iced green tea, tomato-shrimp pasta, chicken kimchee soup, ginormous sandwiches, pot roast and spinach curry.

Damn you and your plus-seventeen-degree-warmest-spot-in-Canada while we suffered under an arctic air mass! But then again, I guess you deserve some breaks--you do, after all, live in Deathbridge...

;-p

Skating and giggles

I would have made my own post for this, but I haven't been able to make new posts for at least the last day, and this seemed like the most related topic.

Much hilarity was missed by those who didn't come skating with us last night. We had several enjoyable verbal exchanges. Here are some samples, spliced together:

queenzulu: ...so I decided to go with a dildo in the end.
mockingspike: As is your wont. So do you mind if I use the unisex concept now?
queenzulu: Just as long as my picture is on all the boxes. Aren't I just the coolest thing on three planets?
mockingspike: Are they inhabited planets?

Also, I just came across one of the strangest instrument choices for a song that I've ever heard. It sounds like Phantom of the Deliverance:

Isn't she cute? Every time I see her, I am surprised at how short her legs are. Corgi-cuteness!

I utterly adore Corgis. They're like made up of all the cute of a half-dozen dogs.

There's more of that particular corgi here. The puppy pictures are just TOO CUTE.
