Nothing quite like sleeping until noon, waking to your sweetheart, and heading out for a belated anniversary lunch. We wanted sushi, as we’ve not had any for a great while, but it seems that every single sushi bar in Greensboro observes the Sunday sabbath. So, instead, we hit up the Old Town Draught House for pints of Scotch ale and IPA, a Stilton Burger for myself (I am rather addicted to cheeses of the blue hue), and a chicken Philly for the Ta.
Much of the remainder of my day was spent playing Kingdom Hearts, which I got for Christmas. I sat around the house by my lonesome, save for the cats, and relaxinated. Natania detailed the first day with Luna, the new kitty, but the second day was altogether different. Minerva seems to hiss less and less at the young upstart, but they’ve taken to darting around the apartment, chasing one another. Our bedroom has hardwood floors, and this can make quite the racket, so I’m hoping they’ll calm down just a bit, for sanity’s sake.
I made some soup tonight, out of leftover turkey and some stock we made last month. The young couple’s fridge in early January, after visiting the well-stocked larders of the family for Christmas, is rather depressing. I was an Iron Chef, however, and I used what we had. Some old celery: drop it in; slimy carrots: wash ’em off and toss ’em in; onion with discolored rings: cut off the bad parts and sautee them for a few minutes first; month-old cilantro: find the good parts, and ditch the rest. If you put enough fish sauce into anything, it’s going to taste good. Or like open ass. Depends.
My computer is acting strange. It’s crashing and then shutting off on its own. Miles thinks I have a worm, and Scott says it may be hardware failure. I’m hoping for the former, because I was thinking of reformatting pretty soon anyway. I’m backing everything up as I type. Outlook is chugging away because I deleted about two years worth of old emails with 2-5MB attachments on ’em. Now it’s ‘Compacting.’ I like that because it compares a computer operation with something I have seen in my physical life, and therefore is easier to understand. Gotta live Windows.
I envy Mac Users very much at this moment. At least the intuitive and perty UI is running on something worth its salt.
