Last night, I got take-out from a local Southern restaurant<\/a>, one I don’t much opportunity to visit. (I think this is actually only the third time I’ve ever been there.) I ordered fried green tomatoes, fried catfish (with hush puppies, cornbread, collard greens, and coleslaw), and banana pudding for dessert. I feel like I maybe should have gone with the brisket, even though the catfish was quite tasty, just to change things up a little. But the tomatoes, particularly the horseradish dressing, and the pudding were ridicuolously good. I spent the rest of the evening wrapped in a food coma.<\/p>\n

I was disappointed to discover the Thai place I really like, that used to be right next door, is now a Five Guy’s hamburger joint. I’ve become slightly less enamored of Five Guy’s now that the novelty and rarity has worn off. (There’s one across the street from my office.) Truth be told, I don’t love their fries, and I think I prefer In-N-Out Burger. And I really did like that Thai place.<\/p>\n

Anyway, other than that, yesterday was a pretty ordinary day. We had a brief presentation about author filming, what to do and what not to do, and how it can be a tool for promoting a book. I don’t know that it’s something that I’ll have call to do in the near future, but you never know.<\/p>\n

Today was my last day all by my lonesome, just me and the dog. My parents fly home from Italy tomorrow, and both I and the dog will be happy to see them. Tucker dosn’t like change in his routine; I don’t love having the house all to myself at night. It’s one reason, I have to admit (though it sounds silly), that I’ve shied away from watching anything like a horror movie while they were away. Tonight, I watched t Transsibberian<\/a>, a thriller, which is about as close as I’ve gotten these past two weeks. (The movie was good, and well acted, although honestly a bit disappointing in the end.) I’ll be happy to have a little more noise than just a barking dog (and me talking to the dog, or, sometimes, myself) around the house again.<\/p>\n

Today was mostly about running a few last-minute errands, doing laundry and dishes, and trying to reassure Tucker he’d only have to put up with me for one more night.<\/p>\n

Anyway, that’s it for Friday and Saturday, such as they were.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
