I already posted about the fine time I had eating belated birthday tapas, so I will skip that, but I did a bunch of other nice things this weekend that I should record for posterity.

Friday: Attended the Honeychuck show at the 9:30. My friend chiba plays guitar in this band and I wanted to make sure to be there to support them for this; playing the 9: ( Read more... )

For the past several weeks I've been sleeping with my custom dentist-made night guard on, to stop the rapid deterioration of my teeth from grinding. Now when I don't make it through the night with this thing on (sometimes I take it out in my sleep) it feels like I'm putting a good 70 pounds of pressure on my poor little teeth. This sucks!

No strep, no pneumonia, no flu. I just have a plain old regular cold. But it's kicking my ass so many ways I lost count. The doc at the patient first gave me an inhaler for the second cold in a row and I just tried it for the first time ( Read more... )

Step 1: Come down with a vicious, mind-erasing, spirit-dimming, will-eroding cold.

OK, so I have been observing the fantastic bentolunch community lately. And then today tzel sent me this bento link. It is easy to chop up some things, or grab a few pita chips or carrots, or what have you to put in a bento box. But what I don't get is ( Read more... )
