evile: howdy. Phone duty today. Only one jerk, the rest have been
cool. I still have 8 min *fingers crossed* no whammies!
SkyeDS: :)
evile: and I get to go home early and hopefully catch a nap before
polydinner. so that's a good tradeoff.
evile: how's your day going?
SkyeDS: it goes
evile: yeah.
evile: I totally forgot that Bastille Day was yesterday. I didn't do
anything.
SkyeDS: drink lots of french wine tonight ;)
evile: well, I went to Krav Maga & beat up on a cute litle boy. But
othe rthan that...no. I should have been pretending he waas louis or
marie antoineete
evile: I'm going to Chuy's tonight. French wine + mediocre Tex-mex is
probably not a good mix.. :P
evile: Then agian, I never would have tried French wine + BBQ at
Salt lick if I hadn't seen J-Law do it first & gotten proven good
results!
SkyeDS: planning on invading Salt Lick Sunday next
evile: Cool.
evile: I doubt I'll be able to muster much enthusiasm for meeting
y'all out there, considering we have so many vegetarians in our fam.
evile: (look at me, rudely assuming I was even invited. bad me!)
SkyeDS: lol I have no expectations
SkyeDS: life is easier that way
evile: Might be helpful if I had a window timewise to present to
others...
SkyeDS: and there is nothing in my social life where you would not be
invited
SkyeDS: camp breaks at noon, I think
evile: I usually assume I'm _not_ welcome unless specifically
invited. Less awkward than assuming I am welcome and showing up to
find out I was not.
SkyeDS: k, well, we would love to see you at teh Salt Lick even if it
isn't likely
SkyeDS: I have cell phone now, don't know number off top of head, but
I think sineater has it written down at home
SkyeDS: so can keep in contact as to when we are actually there
evile: *nods*
evile: a couple of things to know: 1) they dont' seat incomplete
parties 2) they dont' take plastic 3) if you order 'family style' -
everyone- at the table has to order family style.
SkyeDS: last time I went there was only one way to order
SkyeDS: and that was the $10 per person
evile: they have a menu, family style is the best value & what most
people get. But pretty pointless for a vegetarian to order & pay $15
for pickles , beans, and potato salad.
evile: I think family style is up in the $15-range now.
SkyeDS: right
SkyeDS: been many years, but we all paid $10 per, and had all t hat
stuff, plus cole slaw and bread
SkyeDS: and the bread was out of this world
SkyeDS: <doesn't eat cole slaw or potato salad
evile: yeah, I think they include cole slaw & bread,with family
style. I don't care much for either.
SkyeDS: think I'll call and ask if they can fax me a menu
evile: good plan.
SkyeDS: menu online even better
evile: awesome.
SkyeDS: they have a vege only plate
SkyeDS: and a meat only plate
SkyeDS: and I'd be just as happy with just meat
SkyeDS: maybe they'd let me buy bread on the side
SkyeDS: nm, comes on the side
evile: *nods*
SkyeDS: they hav edrinks now
SkyeDS: they d idn't used to, had to bring your own
evile: nope, that's only for the one on 620. The old place is still
BYOB. you can order sodas or tea, but that's it.
evile: wow, I wonder if the one on 620 opend & closed already. I
didn't see anything about it on the website
SkyeDS: pretty pictures
evile: They have a new garden & fountain out back that is pretty
awesome. I've only seen it at night.
evile: That is wierd...I have never seen that place in daylight, as
many years as I've been going....
evile: You'll like the fountain & garden, very Italian.
SkyeDS: nods
SkyeDS: I like victorian, but I also like the more rounded italiante
SkyeDS: err italianate
evile: *nods*
SkyeDS: when I get a carriage horse & carriage, I'll drive you around
the bremond block
SkyeDS: very pretty italianate there
evile: *nods*
evile: I've walked there. It's a nice walk.
SkyeDS: nice drive too
evile: yah, but you don't see as much when you drive.
SkyeDS: makes for good scenery for a carriage drive, is what I meant
evile: I bet.
evile: Erinlefey & tangentsferret were very entranced by the carriages that went by
during the demonstration on Tues.
SkyeDS: I bet, but I'm biased ;P
evile: Maybe around their anniversary, I'll arrange a carriage ride
for them.
evile: That's not till Feb. 15, so I've got time.
SkyeDS: only runs $20
SkyeDS: or did
SkyeDS: been a while
evile: Perhaps I can conspire with Pace to get them downtown for
something else & then surprise them with the ride.
SkyeDS: doesn't sound too hard
evile: assuming Pace & Erinlefey are still dating by then, I guess.
SkyeDS: I have the utmost faith in your sneakiness :P
evile: I will choose to take that as a compliment. :}
SkyeDS: was meant as one :P~~~
evile: well, as we know, I dont' always use my powers for good ;)
SkyeDS: and I'm too lazy to use whatever little powers I have for any
reason at all LOL
evile: heh. I know that feeling, too.
evile: Y'all leaving for the reunion tomorrow?
SkyeDS: yep after work
evile: cool :)
evile: Gotta love it when airfare is cheaper than the hotel you want
to stay at :(
evile: I want to go back to New Mexico & back to Jemez Springs. *sigh*
SkyeDS: would be happy with a nap right now, anywhere
evile: yeah, me too!
evile: Oh well, I get to leave here in about an hour & I can
hopefully catch a little nap before dinner.
evile: Our friend Jaime goes into the 'mothers' room at Dell and
takes naps. I think that's awesome.
evile: I wish we had a quiet room to use here for anything.
SkyeDS: I could probably nap while Hugh is out
SkyeDS: which he is often
evile: *nods*
SkyeDS: but I never know what time he'll be back
evile: too bad you can't hear the exterior door from your office.
SkyeDS: might work if I brought an alarm clock
SkyeDS: I do know how long he plays racquet ball for example
evile: *nods*
evile: My cell phone has an alarm feature in the 'clock' settings.
Yours probably does too.
SkyeDS: mom sent me the book, I'll have to look
evile: mine's pretty old, I'm sure the newer ones have lots more
goodies.
evile: well, time for me to get my paperwork sorted out. I love phone
duty days.
evile: (during the summer at least)
SkyeDS: wind to your wings, bella
evile: *hugs* take care :)
