they call this geekery.

All of the sudden I wish I were nerdier.

time-capsule

Since I am still oddly "jetlagged" from going staying out dancing until 5 AM all weekend, I couldn't sleep and so I screwed around on the internet and googled myself (oh come on, you know you do it too, and should - regularly) and found all new stuff. Wonder if Google just tweaked their organic search algorithm. Anyway, among other lost items in the negligible time-capsule were my first letter to the editor to my community college newspaper when I was 17 (which had never been digitized as far as I knew) and this, which I can only assume is Melinda from the Daily Bruin's blog from when I was a senior in college. I had totally forgotten about that weirdo Iowan kid who somehow ended up on the hotel bed we were all sharing at the conference and went for it while I was trying to sleep by so-seductively rubbing my arm until I actually asked him to leave. Sometimes I don't miss college at all. I just wonder if she thought I was reading it then - I mean she did use my full name. And it was funny. I imagine she didn't expect I'd be reading it 2 years later.

Coming along at the last minute to lunch with a publisher, it occurred to me that Roy’s was really only exceptional for the fish. Jon had been trying to get me to eat fish for a while, and hand-fed me salmon and tuna nigiri over the weekend. Since I haven’t eaten meat in 10 years, I thought it might be interesting to try fish again, to maybe make me more versatile when I eat out or travel. The last week or so has dragged at work and made me crave oddly safe ways to make my life more exciting. So when I walked in I decided maybe this would be the right meal to order a real fish entrée.

A lobster potsticker, some ahi sashimi with caviar and a butterfish later (butterfish is so cool, it’s like it serves you as you eat it, like - would you like another bite? and another light layer gently peels down before you) I was experiencing fish-protein overload.

I was worried I might have a stomachache, but I really just feel kind of fuzzy, like there’s water in my ears or somehow otherwise part of my brain is submerged in water. I’ve heard about these protein highs, that people get when they eat meat after being vegetarian for a while.

So now it’s 3:00, I’m behind after a 2-hour lunch, sitting in my office chair feeling like I’m floating-
