music and things

[jazzfish]

Weekend: Although the Richard McKay in Centreville has closed, the one in Manassas remains open. It's a bit more of a drive but still well worth the trip. Acquired several more books and Greg Brown's Dream Cafe CD. Also had Lapsang Souchong tea for the first and last time (it's the Laphroaig of teas; uilos observed that it smelled like bacon).

Monday: Dollar-a-piece nigiri at Maneki Neko in Falls Church is quite decent for a dollar a piece. It's also within walking distance of the State Theatre, at which the Gin Blossoms will be playing on the second of October. Conveniently, that's a Monday night. Anyone interested in joining me for an evening of sushi and music?

Also, yesterday my first attempt at a birthday present for uilos finally arrived, and today Amazon responded to my customer support request about my second attempt at a birthday present with "Looks like it got lost in the mail. Suck. We've sent out a replacement package, no charge." So, yay for packages getting here, and stuff.

We've only been fighting ten years--
do you really have to go?
Couldn't you reconsider,
and do it real, real slow?
I like living with you--
I don't care what you say.
I don't care who you meet,
at The Dream Cafe.
