The 404 message I got tonight:

404: the lights have gone out. Careful, you might get eaten by a grue.

For reasons having to do with scatterbrain syndrome on my part, Dragon and I ended up having dinner out at a restaurant we'd been meaning to try: Casablanca.  Major, major yum.  We split some hummus, we both had lamb & beef shawerma -- a sandwich for me, with a side of tabouleh, a platter for him with rice and vegetables, and then Dragon had ( Read more... )

I think I mentioned, um, four Earl Grey teas a few weeks ago?  Earl Grey (black and green in my case, from Stash), Lady Grey (lighter taste, by Twinings), Earl Greyer (heavier, strip your teeth taste, by Republic of Tea), and Moonlight Earl Grey (by Adagio; has some vanilla creme flavor to it; great stuff). ::wincing:: I went to make a cup of tea a ( Read more... )

Later, I'll come back and do the "Friday fic" post I meant to do yesterday, before my day vanished into prep for Dragon's family party and then the party. Today, well.  The people who lived in the house before us had a very long-haired dog. This morning, we had a company over to clean out the air conditioner ductwork. Don't ask what the filter on ( Read more... )

That's tomorrow.   Now that I've remembered I need to. ::looks innocent::  Anyway.  Here.  Have something lovely. Time lapse video of the sky over the Canary Islands.  Just beautiful.
