catching up

there's been a lot going on this week that i'm not really able to write about here; there was an incident in group therapy that really upset me, but such things are not meant to be discussed outside of group, and then another incident involving nerdsholmers that i can't talk about without revealing confidences or offending people. (and, believe it or not, i am actually capable of keeping my mouth shut when it's really called for, although it is sometimes awfully difficult for me to resist the tempting allure of gossip.) so i've been in a pretty crappy mood overall.

but here's some of what i've been up to:

( saturday: MINI GOLF EMERGENCY )

( sunday: rone, kim, and goatse )

( tuesday: rwx conquers the bay area )

( an assortment of other stuff )

today i had lunch at Spanky's Diner, a Pacifica institution known for its crusty waitresses and haphazard decor. i brought the book i'm currently reading, Gold Digger: The Outrageous Life and Times of Peggy Hopkins Joyce. the waitress said she'd seen it recently and asked how it was. i said it was good, and that my ex-husband sent it to me.

"was that supposed to be a hint?" she asked.

it honestly hadn't occurred to me.

you learn something new every day

did you know there's a Michigan Asparagus Advisory Board?

neither did i.

check out their oh-so-tempting recipe for Nacho Cheesy Asparagus Bake!

i would like to hunt down the person responsible for this recipe and string him up by his balls in front of the San Francisco Culinary Academy.
