When I couldn't do much more than sit on the couch last week, I re-read Dan Simmon's Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion. I remember thinking about Kassad "Nobody is that bad-ass. Nobody, no real person would actually fight the Shrike. Much less fight the Shrike with any chance of winning." (highlight text to read spoiler). Well, guess what. There are people that bad-ass. And here is a list of five of them. Link thanks to [livejournal.com profile] shanmonster.

Last night I had dinner at Zen Zero with [livejournal.com profile] closer_to_fine and [livejournal.com profile] zerself. [livejournal.com profile] zerself ordered the flank steak and wasabi mashed potatoes, but it turned out to be a little of the wrong sort of spicy for her. I could have bathed in the stuff, though, so I traded her my green curry noodle leftovers. I get to have this flank steak for dinner tonight. Y-u-m.

I slept poorly again last night, and my office is very cold. Two people commented on the chill in here. Sleepy + cold = bad combo.

Today, then Friday, then: Vacation.

wasabi mashed potatoes sound FANTASTIC!I love garlic mashed potatoes, and wasabi ones sound even better. I had no idea that Zen Zero had anything like that.

I hope you are going to do something fun on your vacation. If you'd like to really be on vacation, we can put the food thing on hold.

I'm going to be doing some serious Spring Cleaning next week. That's my vacation. I'm looking forward to it. Seriously!
