I like music, long walks on the beach, and poking dead things with a stick.

 Sweet, sweet sake

Yes, I had a drinkie or two tonight. I took the younger demonspawn and the red-headed stepchild out to Kappaya, and we sampled sushi. I detest seaweed, so I just nibbled at the edges of the seafood. The squid and the various fish flesh were not my cuppa, but the shrimp and octopus sushi (minus the seaweed part) was tasty. Anxiety ordered sea urchin, mostly to creep out Sierra, then wouldn’t eat it because she didn’t like the texture. I thought the texture was fine — pasty, but not bad at all — but it was just too strong-smelling for my preference. So I skipped the rest of the sushi and scarfed down my pot stickers and terriyaki steak. Then we stopped at Ben & Jerry’s. I has chocolate peanut-butter ice cream!

That last sentence was brought to you by the cutest baby in creation, my godson Jonathan! He can sit up by himself, accurately stuff toys (and biter biscuits) into his mouth, and make baby velociraptor sounds now. And he’s fascinated by my tongue-piercing. Damn, little tiny kids are fun. They get annoying about the time they learn to run and speak in actual sentences, but they’re a blast until then!

Now I’m going to relax and try to enjoy my evening, as the rest of the weekend will most likely be obnoxiously busy and emotionally taxing.

    I can do without seaweed, and most things that come from the sea for that matter… though seabugs (I mean, shrimp) do it for me for some reason. Go figure.

    Next time try the tempura. Everything Terry and his staff prepare are the best! Dad was stationed in Japan while in the Navy, so Japanese is almost a second language to me.
