Raw fish

At about eight o’clock, it occurred to me that I needed some tuna sashimi. And then it occurred to me that a nice lager matches well to tuna sashimi, or if you’re a frequent patron of The Clubhouse, you’ll want a “lagar”. It’s been spelled like that on every menu since the place opened in 1998.

Anyway, I can always count on Lola to help me out with the tuna sashimi and lager. If anyone needs me, I’ll be at The Clubhouse knocking back some raw fish and beer.

Addendum: Another thing I should mention about The Clubhouse is their marinated tuna sashimi. This stuff is brilliant. The pieces are marinated in a creamy sesame sauce that has just a touch of spicyness. It’s served in a small dish with two sprigs of asperagus, mayonnaise, and tobiko (roe).

Wow, I could just live on that stuff.

There’s something wrong with my brain

As I drove home today, I spotted a sign that said “COMPUTER POLTERGEIST?” After a double-take I realized that it actually said “problems” not “poltergeist”.

There’s something wrong with my brain. Need time away from cubicle.

But you know, a computer poltergeist would really explain some of the strange problems I’ve had with Windows.

Toiling in darkness

I’m convinced that there’s a law of nature that causes several deadlines to coincide whenever the weather becomes sunny and warm. If you ever see me in the daylight, wear sunglasses to protect yourself from the glare off my sickly, pallid skin.

AAAAAAaaaaaaaa!!!!!

Over at Geese Aplenty, Greg has announced that he’s going skydiving. I’m so very jealous. I went skydiving only once about ten years ago, but haven’t had the chance to try it again.

If there’s anyone in the Vancouver area who would like to go skydiving, drop me a line at eol@endofline.ca. It’s a little pricey, but if you survive, you’ll really enjoy it. I mean, you’ll enjoy it in any case, but you’ll probably enjoy it longer if you… um…

I’m not really selling this idea very well, am I?
