Stuff and things

1. I am such a bad, bad fangirl. I COMPLETELY MISSED that Einstürzende Neubauten put out a new album, called The Jewels. The concept sounds wicked cool, and reviews are complimentary. Apparently, there's a lot of very sophisticated blending of their more recent style with their older style, which, to me, is a thrilling idea. Must acquire! Oooh!

2. I had super amazingly tasty Lebanese food last night with J. We ate at Café Barada. We split baba ghanouj as an appetizer. I had the felafel sandwich with Lebanese pickles on it and a Syrian salad, and he had the hummus and felafel sandwich with rice pilaf. We had baklava for dessert. NOM. NOM. NOM. Needless to say, we could not finish our sandwiches, and brought the rest home. I have mine for lunch!

3. So much to look forward to over the next few days! The first of them is girly cocktails with vervain13 tonight. He will be the chef and I will be the mixologist. In stock, among other things, are: Hendricks, Noilly Prat, rosewater, fresh-picked garden basil, fresh-picked garden thyme, fresh mint, blueberries (locally grown), watermelon juice, limes, pineapple juice, brandy, champagne, vodka, white rum, dark rum, tequila, Grand Marnier, etc. Whew!

4. Gonna be hot and possibly stormy today. Which makes me think of dark and stormies. Which makes me think of ginger beer. Hmm. Maybe I can get some of that! Trader Joe's? Think so.

One thing you could do is to take the T to Oak Grove and then get a lift from there, from someone. That's what I usually do. I'm sure that someone will be able to do that for you, either one of the hosts or a guest. I'm getting a lift from D&D, who are getting a Zipcar.
