SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!

Today The Boy, Kim and i went to Dark Carnival to meet with our friend Penny for her birthday. The store has very cool atmosphere (as well as temperature... brrr). The Boy found a Green Lantern graphic novel written by Larry Niven. I discovered horror books written by twohitwonder-cum-morningradioshowhost Greg "Captain Tin Foil Hat" Kihn. Kim discovered a new short story by Katherine Dunn. Penny discovered Steven Brust's The Phoenix Guards (well, i pointed her at it after she asked for a starting point for Brust). We then had an early dinner at Nan Yang, Burmese food at the Oakland/Berkeley border. Good stuff, but their food is white-man hot, so we'll have to ask for a Scoville upgrade next time. We accompanied the food with a gewürztraminer from Husch Vineyards; nice, with a slight tingle up front, but lacking a bit in the finish. Then again, i think i was in the mood for a slightly sweeter wine (i asked for a Madrona gewürz, but they were out).

In other news, tukro.com is ready for your trenchant comments, although it seems to be semi-functional, much like the site it parodies. Who knew?
