Snapshot for today

Saving log - $0
Spending log - $1.62 coffee, milk + $15 lunch

Just a lot of Robert Altman-esque Short Cuts today.

Succumbed to the lure of chirashi today. I got a new sushi chef, who gave me a slightly smaller plate but wasn't stingy with the fish. I'll have to remember that my usual sushi chef works on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

Found out that the first person I met at work had died. A remembrance of his is tomorrow. He was the computer/network guy who showed up to fix your computer when it was ailing. He retired five years ago, but its still a bit of a shock.

Gave my assistant a little hug as she was leaving on her last day. She told me that she had done more varied stuff in 5 months here than she did in 7 years at workplace unnamed.

The 2007 Poetry on the Bus competition is up and running. I'm a bit lukewarm on the theme - but I have my idea and my twist. All I need is a bit of incubation on a couple of words (you only have 50) and I'll send my shot off. We find out on June 1 - perfect, I'll be in Paris not fretting about it - but by then I'll sure be able to use the $125. Big Grin

Speaking of the bus, I relearned the pole slide today. It's where you use your angular momentum to slide into a window seat, usually stealing it from someone who hasn't discovered the trick.

DH discovered old stewing hens at .99/ each at the HT. Coq au vin tomorrow!

    Baselle, you'd asked about Maxed Out: The Movie.

    Tonight, March 9, at the Varsity apparently, Maxed Out begins its Seattle run. I saw it at the Seattle International Film Festival. It's worth watching! If you catch it, please share your impressions.

    MMMmmm, coq au vin. Haven't had that in years. Never thought of it as a good use for a stewing chicken!

    I think a woman did a version of the pole slide to pop into one of those seats at the front of the bus, before I was able to lower myself into it. She was so quick; I didn't see her, and nearly ended up sitting in her lap.

    Maybe that was me! You ride the 28? Big Grin
