Petrol Lattes and Fish Heads
Did you know that that pink-headed barista at Hooked on Colfax has been serving up Petrol Lattes lately? Neither did I. Oh, the wastefulness of our American ideology.
So, summer is officially over! I don't expect that I'll be wearing too many more tank tops over the coming months... at least not without something layered heavily over them. Leaves are starting to turn and fall and the air is all brisk. Autumn is so very exciting that I tend to forget that it's only leading to winter darkness. We'll just continue to ignore that for now though.
Today was just one of those days: the good kind. After spending way too long rolling around the sheets with my favorite guy, we headed down to the bike shop to pick up stuff to fix up my $20 bicycle into something I can actually use. Then, after dropping a rediculous sum of money, he treated me to a VERY yummy mexican lunch.
Or rather, a mostly very yummy lunch at least. I ordered the tilapia, expecting a fillet, and ended up with an ENTIRE FISH on my plate. Head, fins, bones and all. At first I tried to cut off its head so i wouldn't have to admit that I was munching on an actual animal, but that didn't work and felt brutal to boot. (Off with his head!) So, I just tried to honor the poor dead fish and eat it. Unfortunately, he was half raw. He and I engaged in a staring contest while I munched on Derek's vegetarian platter. Naturally he had an edge with those unblinking eyes. Yea, I would not recommend the talapia at Minillas! But, everything else far surpassed any expectations. It is quite worth the drive out to the 'burbs!
Then, after working on my bike outside in the fresh autumn breeze (er, gale force winds!) I headed over for a nice warm cup of my favorite petrol latte from my favorite girl. :) However, she refused to squeeze my butt so I left. Dorky hat and all.
Now, I will attempt to block out the excitement of my day and get busy with Descartes and Ryle and my fat kitty. Weeee! :)
