Under normal circumstances, I might have appreciated that irony. 
You absolutely have to give these people a listen — they’re fantastic. I’m listening right now to an EP one of the band members gave me while I was working one day. I totally forgot to listen to it until now, and it’s SO good. It will be a house favorite at Evelyn’s. Long live Esquimaux!

I am going to stay in the cafe. All night. The air conditioner down here works just fine, in fact I’m here now — typing away. I have two cookbooks with me, my jewelry-making stuff, and I’ll probably order some Chinese (since Zella’s is closed on Tuedays) and I am going to sleep down here on the floor. So if you see me sprawled out on the floor, no I’m not dead — just dead tired. But I’ll be open at 6:30 for coffee!

So of course yesterday I posted that it’s been pretty quiet in the ‘hood…of course today that changed. Nothing terrible happened, but as I was sitting in the window this evening, I saw a totally nude man drive by. Yes, nekkid. From tip to toe, if you will. And it wasn’t a pretty sight, believe me. So that’s my big excitement for the day — that and the fact that I got my hair cut. Sigh…
Oh, and I vacuumed and cleaned out the catbox. I know…you’re jealous of all this excitement. Try to contain yourself. :p

I started that today, and honestly it wasn’t that bad — it’s only an extra hour, and the weekend hours haven’t changed. Plus it’s kind of nice being up and about when the neighborhood is quiet. Could it be that I am turning into a morning person?
I’ve brought back the chicken salad sandwich…on a bagel. People seem to like it, so I’m sticking with that. I’m also baking like crazy — this weekend’s treats are going to be fun. Stay tuned for that.
Not much happening in the ‘hood these days…it’s been mighty quiet.
