Ahem.
The house special for the evening will be a homemade quiche with woven spinach tortilla crust, flaked Alaskan red salmon, red onions, and red bell peppers, topped with basil, oregano and parsely.
Might I recommend the white zinfandel as a good accompaniment, followed by a long run to the park?

Today has been truly beautiful.
P Chem held a few epiphanies this morning, which is a bit of a salve after my
heinous performance on the last exam.
Thanks to a few very generous saints, I'm pointed in the right direction on a few big projects coming
ominously down the pipe.
I ran to Lake Washington with
Sarah this evening and stretched on a dock watching the sun set houses on fire while she played with a GREAT Dane. He was
huge. We were climbing up the steps in the Madrona Woods and passed a couple getting it on, right off the trail. Not making out. Full on sex.
I took a bath for the first time in years after I got back, and it was epic. When I was a little girl with long hair I used to lie in the tub and imagine I was a mermaid with my hair swirling all around me. I'm a big girl with shorter hair now, but it still swirls and floats. I had a fizzy bath bomb in there with me too. I had a good time. ;)
I made a kick-ass pad thai for dinner.
And finally, Dad is in town for a few days. Three cheers for the Parenthood! I'm going to spend tomorrow at the
Museum of Flight with him and a good portion of the extended Slauson Clan. This is significant in that I will doubtless come away knowing more about airplanes and our family's involvement with them than is healthy or just. I'm excited, really. Afterwards he's joining me for dinner, so we'll have a chance to kick back and catch up.
Must sleep now. Sarah no function sleep well without. On a side note, I'm feeling the urge for some X-Men this weekend. Who's in?

When the Day is Done
The Samples
When the day is done
I hope you're still the same
I hope that nothing's changed
With you
When the day is done
There's something in your eyes
Have they seen too many lies
Come true?
When the day is done
When the day is done
When the day is done
A secret I can keep
A promise I have deep
With you
Oh no something's wrong
The fastest things
Have slowly gone
When the day is done
I hope you're still the same
I hope that nothing's changed
With you
When the day is done
There's something in your eyes
Have they seen too many lies
Come true?
When the day is done
When the day is done

Holy batman! I'm so very screwed.
Alive, but screwed.
If I make it to tomorrow afternoon, consider me superhuman.

immolate (v):
To kill as a sacrifice.
To kill (oneself) by fire.
To destroy.
Two thumbs up!

The Wendigo
By Ogden Nash
The Wendigo,
The Wendigo!
Its eyes are ice and indigo!
Its blood is rank and yellowish!
Its voice is hoarse and bellowish!
Its tentacles are slithery,
And scummy,
Slimy,
Leathery!
Its lips are hungry blubbery,
And smacky,
Sucky,
Rubbery!
The Wendigo,
The Wendigo!
I saw it just a friend ago!
Last night it lurked in Canada;
Tonight, on your veranada!
As you are lolling hammockwise
It contemplates you stomachwise.
You loll,
It contemplates,
It lollops.
The rest is merely gulps and gollops.

Began Mardi Gras celebration with old friends and free crepes on the 10th floor. Returned home to discover this evening that stove has been leaking natural gas into apartment all day long. Almost passed out upon discovery. Called wonderful landlady, who showed up 15 minutes later to check out situation and call gas company. Watched gas service fellow utilize device resembling Geiger-counter to detect gas leak and correct (so cool!). Commenced further Mardi Gras/Lunar New Year festivities with the girls, Colin Farrel, and Stoli, all while working on my P Chem. Have decided that a gas high and booze mix very well indeed. Prospero año nuevo!

I went running yesterday morning and discovered the most wonderful spot in Seattle.
I headed through the I-District on 12th, over the Rizal bridge, and up Beacon Hill through the woods to the I-90 trail. On my way back I stopped to fix my shoe half-way across the bridge and looked up. It was perfect.
In front of me all the skyscrapers downtown and buildings climbing up the hill were lined up in a row, with the freeway slicing through their midst. The sun shone off the barges in the bay and the Olympics were crystal clear. There were planes flying overhead, traffic flowing underfoot, and yet my place on the bridge was very peaceful. I was far enough from the forest of buildings to feel detached, but the city still surrounded me and felt like home. It was like getting a big hug from old friend. Everything was right with the world and my little pocket of inner peace seemed to have spread through the entire city for a moment.
Then a car whizzed by and blew my hair across my face, but I'm telling you, for a moment there I was floating.

This trailer has had me in stitches for the last few minutes...and here I thought Star Wars had gone the way of
the privy...
Thanks Dad! Keep up the fun at work.
Listening to: Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries"
Happy Groundhog's Day! I have a
sinking feeling that cold and exams will prevail in the coming days.
The question of platonic sex has come up. Theoretically workable, or an oxymoron by definition? I contend that it's a crazy idea, as sex is the antithesis of platonic in my head, but I could be wrong about the definition. Then again, if we're talking "
sex like Plato", I'm not sure I want to entertain the idea further. Your votes count, dear readers. How, if at all, might one have platonic sex?
