Squirrel Update
So I was on the phone a little while ago, and the squirrel cavalierly walks past the window with a large bundle of fall leaves in his mouth. I think he’s making a nest under my floor. Details as they come in.
Nyanko Plate anyone?
I’m not really sure what a Nyanko Plate is, but, like Mini Driver, I’m pretty sure I require one! I was so distressed to learn that they are sold out. 🙁
Very Very Bad Thing
According to pseudorandom, as of today:
According to… the Chicago Sun-Times, the war in Iraq has cost $130 billion to date (per the Office of Management and Budget). Given that we invaded Iraq 20 March 2003, that comes to 656 days since the invasion, which in turn equals $198,730,732 per day.
In other words, the total amount committed by the US government to date for tsunami relief — $350,000,000 — 42.27 hours of the cost of the war in Iraq. Just to put things in perspective.
They’re Here! They’re Here!
Help! Indians have attacked Memphis and are eating all of our barbecue! Hee hee! Well, all of the guests have arrived. Sunitha, Ashwyn, and Elizabeth arrived in Memphis last night at around 7:30pm, shortly followed by Aaron. The first order of business was getting some barbecue… OF COURSE! And today, the tourism begins with a trip to the Peabody to see the ducks. I have to go to work, but I will join them later for a mandatory trip to the National Civil Rights Museum. There’s so much fun touristy stuff to do here, and now I have an excuse to do it! If only they’d arrived on a weekend, but I forgive them. Ashwyn has to go back to India on Saturday, so I am honored he chose to spend the end of his trip here in Bluff City!
CHOMP!
Lovely Dancing Pigs!
The Bar-B-Q Shop. Swoon! I mean, Swine!
Indelicate Tsunami Question
I wonder if the actual tsunami is having an effect on the local Pacific-Rim restaurant called Tsunami. If there is an effect, I wonder if it’s positive or negative. Is the actual tsunami related to the fact that the restaurant’s web site is down today? All I could find was the cached version. Hmmmm…
