Apr. 5th, 2011 11:49 amI keep scribbling little "I should post that" notes to myself, so here are some of them.
Specialized food requirements people, and anyone else who likes delicious, delicious food science: There's a vegan gluten-free low-glycemic OMG DELICIOUS dessert place in Greenlake. They make a tiramisu thing that mouthfeels as cheesecake. Expensive, but astounding. Jodee's Desserts
Also there's an everything-ful new place in Fremont called PIE. It sells pie. Sweet pie, savory pie, flaky crust toe-curling individual-serving PIE. I'm sorry to see they had to scale back from having breakfast hours, but please go try their pie so they stay in business long enough to take root, because it is sooooooooo tasty. Pie.
Someone I keep seeing in yoga looks like Alexis Denisof (Wesley Wyndham-Pryce). Not just face, but haircut and demeanor. He's straight-backed, perfect posture, technically precise form with no fiddling around, stands at the front of the class in a t-shirt from a serious yoga retreat, somehow looks tidier than the rest of us. If Wesley did yoga as part of his training regimen, this is how he would do it. I keep noticing him. It's kinda hot.
My shower curtain is a map of the world, purchased from Target (sorry), and I keep staring at it in wonder, because it's clearly directed at a "teach your child geography" market, but it's labeled down to colonies (with the parent country noted in parentheses). The West Bank isn't labeled, but it's a different color, and that part of the world is a tight squeeze for labels. On a $15 shower curtain, that's pretty impressive.
J repairs clothing (socks, minor tears) with the patient attention of someone who has no formal training but wants to see things last. He has an umbrella of some sentimental value which he got as a volunteer gift from the library. The fabric's been coming loose from the struts, as eventually happens. He sat down and spent half an hour putting in picky little stitches to put it back together.
I told him, "You're a good umbrella daddy." He said, "That sounds like it should be a kink thing." We both stared off into space for a moment, trying to picture how that would work.
I went to Vagabond Opera again on April 1st with my darlings. Some announcement of the concert suggested we wear something foolish, so![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
arjache wore a blue lamé clip-on bowtie and an arrow through her head. J wore tie-dye. meowse wore an egregious neon green striped shirt and his ridiculous hat. I, having nothing particularly foolish to hand, went with clownish and dressed as the Joker.
We were the only ones dressed up. It was awesome.
If you wanted to replace the snaps on a leather jacket and get a pair of motorcycle pants hemmed shorter, in Seattle, where would you go?
