In which there are superdelicious foodz!
The Best Aunt Ever™ picked me up after work last night and took me to College Place for dinner at a tiny little place called Bangkok 103.
College Place is a vegetarian haven because apparently the town is comprised mainly of a Christian sect – Adventist, I believe – that is entirely vegetarian. They have a kick-ass crunchy veggie store I have yet to see the inside of, and the stores in the area all have rather extensive vegetarian food sections because of them.
Bangkok 103 is run by a wife/husband team and is reservation only. I had Thai iced tea and veggie curry with tofu and it was wonderful, as was the company of my dad’s sister (who taught me how to twist and do the monkey when I was quite little, and is therefore practically the most important figure of my formative years).
After dinner, which she paid for, we dropped by her house and she gave me two bags full of books and I fell in love with her handsome boy dog, a sweet shepherd who shared his “bunny” (all stuffed toys are bunnies to him) with me. After that I was SUDDENLY FREAKING EXHAUSTED because of this never-to-be-sufficiently-damned COLD and went home and went to bed, where I slept for fifteen hours before coming back to work.
In other very tragic news. Lips the Office Fish died today. It’s a sad day for the entire office.

yay! for cool aunts! mine was a nun. but not one of those super religious-swat-your-hand-with-a-ruler despite being a teacher. she was awesome! it was her we terrified with a ouiji board by cheating (mom was signalling whether yes/no) when asking questions about her childhood that we would know nothing about but mom knew everything! i can still remember her telling us to get it away from her cuz it was evil 😀
sorry about the fish. that sucks. we gave two 10 gal aquariums to the univ centres to keep their fish alive. they’re on a record amount of time for surviving fish 🙂 (bowls keep the fish at a constant state of suffocation).
Yeah, poor Lips the fish – long live Lips! -m
