Tuesday evening, friends galore

There were lots more people at the Diesel this week than the last couple of weeks. I shouldn't've been so suprised; it's the first non-holiday week in a while.

New things I heard of yesterday: potato snow, cell phones that are also digital cameras.

Sushi at Yoshi's was yummy, and with someone to talk with as well, something I'd not assumed I'd have.

I had a really nice time at the gaming, though I didn't end up playing any games myself. I watched Carcasonne, Pipes, and Aquarius, and there was interesting conversation. Some talk of math fiction, and there were titles (and authors) mentioned that sounded worth reading. Of course, I didn't remember any of them after. Reminders, anyone? I also got to hear about the Apple address, and some games' strategies, and a discussion of chocolate preferences. I now have plans for Peruvian chicken in March, too. I was really glad I went, despite being tired.

The walk home was cold: my face felt just a bit frozen by the time I arrived (and had gotten the trash out to the curb). My legs were also cold, but in a way that I always think of as a proper winter feel, so it's a good feel for me.

What is it about this week?

Chicken spinning AND (minced) pork snorting.
And it's only Wednesday.

WOTD: provenance.
Obviously, this is the source of a proof of Nancy's existence.

Car update

When we last saw Our Hero [1], she was borrowing a friend's car and learning to drive stick in the wake of her car being totalled.

The friend in question wants to sell the car, so Our Hero had the car checked out by Automotively Clueful People, and it passed with flying colors (well, new wiper blades, and cleaning and adjusting the rear brakes, both of which are not big items).

So now, to deal with the paperwork end of things, and Our Hero will be the pleased owner of a 1997 stick shift Toyota Corolla.

[1] No drugs, please.
