Woo Tuesday
Oct. 14th, 2003 11:23 pmI didn't do a writer's report today because I barely wrote anything. I added a couple of notes and sentences just to say I'd worked on my story... but really I did nothing very constructive.
Most of last night was spent reading manga and ripping cds to my hard drive. At the end of the night I assembled a "blues mix" cd for my own amusement. I included some very old acoustic blues (Charley Patton, Blind Willie Johnson, Skip James) and some of the more modern stuff from the 50's and 60's, and then even more modern stuff that crosses into blues rock -- La Grange from ZZ Top, One World by Dire Straits, some stuff from Blue Mountain and some stuff I downloaded off the net including a nice song by guitar wizard Eric Johnson.
Today I made another copy before going to work, and gave it to Laura who loves the blues. But she couldn't find her cd player... she thinks it might have been stolen from her car recently. She doesn't always lock it I guess, there's usually not much to steal.
I completed another of my long-time goals by leaving for work early and stopping at Ballard Market to buy some Top Pot donuts. Those are more expensive than I realized -- 99 cents per donut. But very very very good. I bought five and handed them out to my co-workers.
I hadn't been in Ballard Market since they remodelled, and man, do they ever have a salad bar. Actually it's two bars... one with regular leaf salads and all the fixings, and another with various other prepared salads. It's $5.99 per lb. which is not cheap but it all looked so good that I had to try it... got some penne pasta, some taboule, some cool mediterranean salad with tomatos, cucumbers, large chunks of celery, oil and feta cheese... and some oriental noodle salad of some sort. The far side of the bar had like 8 or 12 different kinds of olives, feta cheese, dolmas, olive tapenade spread, etc. so I picked out some olives and pepperocinis to top off my salad selections. The stuffed olives (almond I think) were some of the most flavorful I've ever tasted. It was more than $9 so I wouldn't want to do that often, but I might go back in a couple of weeks because it all tasted very good. ^_^
