We seem to be out of hot water.  After a rather brisk shower, I could go for a nice bit of cozy tea.

More importantly, Happy Belated Birthday to Erica!  Despite putting it in my calendar, I forgot...  Yay for your fleeting youth!

Kelley and I saw Capote tonight.  It was very well done and I think Hoffman really does a good job with filling such a ( Read more... )

I'm feeling better and I had some extra energy tonight.  Mikey was out watching a lacross game or something, so decided to do some baking.  This is the green tea cheese cake I made:

So I have a touch of a cold.  Nothing too bad, though.  I feel fine in my body, only my throat feels a little sore and I have a bit of congestion in my nose.  I do feel better than this morning, which is good.  Mikey even made me a breakfast sandwich to help rally my spirits!  But lots of green tea, water, and pineapple have been helping.  I did ( Read more... )

I’m finishing up this application for a public relations internship and I think I’ve got a fair chance, assuming they don’t look too deep into that line on my resume about being the live drummer for the "Like Water for Chocolate" tour and mastering ?uestolove’s old DAT tapes ( Read more... )

In an odd little dream, I was having dinner with my father and Hot Rod Todd (of Le Shok/ Neon King Kong/ Distraction/ T Cells/ FM Bats) in a rather posh restaurant. For some reason Todd looked like a bad Reagan-impersonator. I would love to know where that dream was going, but I woke up during the soup course. It was roasted chestnut soup with ( Read more... )
