have you ever heard of stardate? it's a daily two minute segment on npr. i love this program. i want to say that enjoy learning the bite size facts about space but who am i kidding? i only listen to it for sandy wood's voice. i can visualize every grain of star dust just from the way she says crab nebula. with such a godly voice, she could be reading the phone book and i would see galaxies, i'm sure of it. listen and see.
while i'm all geeked out, i should mention that boeing is launching a satellite tomorrow. they will webcast it live. i hope to catch the countdown.
for this week's outing, i wanted to try the shawarma joint across from the main library. except it was packed so we motored right along, ending up at the asian art museum.
jg ordered curry lamb and he really liked it. i got curry noodle soup but i didn't like it as much. the food might have tasted better if there were outdoor seating. the weather was too perfect to be sitting in an entirely enclosed space.

tap water is greener
tap water is cheaper
as much as i hate the hype, this is the one thing i can agree with the slow food yuppies: the tap water here is amazing. it's soft, and there's absolutely no taste to it. it's like having voss on tap. i have to disagree, though, that water is slow food.
past slow food nation is city hall. i only had enough time to peep inside the doors but my experience felt complete; i got to see a gay wedding!
the handsome couple
i love how welll dressed they were. i wonder why they chose to get married on a wednesday. shotgun wedding?
