8966 – Friday
A year ago today, I landed in Maryland. Life’s been pretty damn good ever since.
A lot of groundbreaking stuff has happened in the year between then and now.. most of it documented here, some not so much, as I’ve been really spending a lot of time enjoying life more than documenting it.
I’m married, living in a new state, a new job, a new everything, really…. I really officially started on that path a year ago. It’s been a mighty fine journey so far… I can hardly wait for the years ahead.
Moment of Lyric – Jason Falkner “This Will Be Our Year” (Zombies cover)
The warmth of your love
is like the warmth of the sun
and this will be our year
took a long time to come
don’t let go of my hand
now darkness has gone
and this will be our year
took a long time to come
and I won’t forget
the way you held me up when I was down
and I won’t forget the way you said,
“Darling I love you”
You gave me faith to go on
Now we’re there and we’ve only just begun
This will be our year
took a long time to come
The warmth of your smile
smile for me, little one
and this will be our year
took a long time to come
You don’t have to worry
all your worried days are gone
this will be our year
took a long time to come
and I won’t forget
the way you held me up when I was down
and I won’t forget the way you said,
“Darling I love you”
You gave me faith to go on
Now we’re there and we’ve only just begun
and this will be our year
took a long time to come
Yeah we only just begun
yeah this will be our year
took a long time to come
Note to self- check out some local gaming – 8/31-9/3 – http://barkingmad.org/ – Laurel’s about an hour’s drive… I think that perhaps it’s time to start our own gaming warren in North Beach. Granny at Yucata suggested as much last night. Alternately, the Games Club of Maryland looks promising. (Annapolis meets every other Saturday from 6-11pm, for example.)

I’m a French Toast man myself, but this week’s Photoshop Phriday theme is utter genius: Grindhouse Breakfast Cereals. I would start buying breakfast cereal if the boxes looked like this. My friend Stacey, an immortal bride of Count Chocula, is sure to be disappointed when she clicks the link though.

Probably pretty spent! Work, out with BHK, Tina and the In-laws at cheeburger^2 for dinner, some light shopping, and I’m wiped!
2. Do you like back rubs?
Who the devil doesn’t like a back rub?
3. When did you last mislead someone?
I’m not sure… probably tricking BHK about some aspect of her Birthday party tomorrow.
4. What color are your eyes?
Blue.

Shauna D.’s Review Of Nanbankan (5/5)
You can probably tell I love Japanese food from reading my reviews. I just feel there’s so many great things about it- everything from ramen, curry, teppanyaki, shabu shabu, SUSHI/sashimi, getting… (via Scotto B. on Yelp)
Shauna D.’s Review Of Mori Teppan Grill (4/5)
I don’t know what it is about Glendale but I hate it. Okay, that’s kind of strong, huh? I just feel the food is so-so and once all that development is completed next to the mall, it’s probably going… (via Scotto B. on Yelp)

Shauna D.’s Review Of Irori Japanese Restaurant (5/5)
This place is cool. In fact, it’s KEWL. Ha, so old school.
From the moment you take off your shoes and stick them into the cubbyholes by the front door (please do that, I do not want to trip over… (via Scotto B. on Yelp)
Shauna D.’s Review Of Hurry Curry of Tokyo (5/5)
Geez, how long have I’ve been coming to Hurry Curry? Over 10 years at least, maybe closer to 15. I used to come at least once a week for a year when I was working on a musical at UCLA. Back then, I… (via Scotto B. on Yelp)
Shauna D.’s Review Of Hurry Curry of Tokyo – Pasadena (4/5)
I was pretty excited about this location of Hurry Curry opening up in Pasadena years ago since I love the one on Sawtelle so much.
Well, it’s not quite the same. It’s still spiffy on the curry but… (via Scotto B. on Yelp)

Shauna D.’s Review Of Kouraku (5/5)
Thanks for the memories, Kouraku! (gah, I feel so emo!)
When I was a little girl, my mom and I would traipse all over Downtown. We either eat at Kouraku or Clifton’s, always stopping at Thrifty for… (via Scotto B. on Yelp)
MiRIAM w.’s Review Of Eamonn’s: A Dublin Chipper (4/5)
I may well be Restaurant Eve’s biggest fan so naturally I had to try Cathal Armstrong’s fish and chips outpost, Eamonn’s. I love the interior. The mirrors make the small space feel much bigger than it… (via Scotto B. on Yelp)
MiRIAM w.’s Review Of DuPont Nails & Spa (4/5)
FINALLY a place where I can get a good manicure, a spa pedicure and an eyebrow wax within walking distance of my home!
If you’re planning to go at a peak time call ahead and make an appointment. I… (via Scotto B. on Yelp)
MiRIAM w.’s Review Of Sonoma Restaurant & Wine Bar (5/5)
If you’ve ever lived in Northern California you might be understandably skeptical about a place called Sonoma in Washington, D.C. However, I went with an open mind. When I entered the space I… (via Scotto B. on Yelp)
Scotto B.’s Review Of Calypso Bay Restaurant (3/5)
Tasty food, and our server Jean was very good about guiding us to what was more stellar on the menu. It looks like the tiki bar side of things might get a little rowdy, but the dining area appears to… (via Scotto B. on Yelp)
