Whee!

I wanted to get sushi for dinner tonight, but I was too tired when I got home. So I had pitas and hummus instead... and by the time I was done, I felt awake and alert enough that I wanted to go get sushi. Except, I was full. Dammit.

A week or two ago I reviewed a book on Marinerds, Ninety Feet From Fame by Mike Robbins -- quite glowingly, as it was a phenomenally entertaining and informative book -- and today I got an email from the author, who had read my blog and was actually thanking me for the positive review. ("You'd be surprised, but most of the comments I get about this book are because (sad but true) I accidentally put the wrong name for the 1960 Pirates manager on page 8.") Very bizarre but cool -- now I just have to hope that the guy whose book I slammed the other week doesn't write me an angry email :)

That's really cool that you heard from the author.
I have a coworker who read a book and discovered that the neice of the author lives in Downingtown. The neice had published her uncle's letters or something. So my friend looked her up in the phone book and gave her a call. The lady was very friendly, apparently.

Oh, are you in for Harry Potter on Saturday night? Jeff or Ro is going to get tickets in advance, so they wanted a headcount. see here.

I was thinking I'd drive down and stop by Narrows first on Saturday, though, which is a bowling alley / arcade. They have Initial D machines there, if that helps any -- there's going to be an ITG tournament and I wanted to say hi to a few people. Dunno how long I'd stay there.

We could go get sushi in the afternoon or sometime Sunday if you want though.

Sounds good to me. I let Jeff know that I'm in.
