Safe in Oakland

[liralen]

I'm here and safe.

Packed for most of the morning after getting Jet to school. Got up early to have cinnamon rolls and Mille Bournes with the boys. It was fun. John got me off to the airport in plenty of time and we even had the time to stop at a Popeye's on the way. The chicken was very, very good. The wait in the airport allowed me to write some, so there's a word count or two for the day. The flight was 20 minutes fast, but the baggage more than made up for it. Carl appeared as soon as I called him, and we went to Endgame in Oakland to just wait out the traffic.

We had dinner at Breads of India and I had a tomato that was stuffed with a vegetable and chickpea mash and covered in a spicy gravy/curry that was really good, and we had a grated diakon radish bread with our meal. It was really good.

Stopped by Trader Joe's and on the way, when I said I wanted drinking chocolate, Carl asked if there were overtones of buying everything on the shelves and then coming back the next morning to clear way all the restocks and I said, Yes, there are. *laughs and laughs*

A good evening at his place with a pile of manga (and the Art of Bleach book which is just gorgeous, good to see the Shonen Jump spreads in full color!!) and the latest chapter of Bleach to read. I love Soi Fong... *laughs*

Ohhhh, your description of the stuffed tomato makes me hungry!!!!

[liralen.livejournal.com]

It was very tasty. *happies*

I love most anything with curry... *drools*

Coup-fourré!
Yay someone else who has heard of Mille Bournes!

Your curry sounds so delicious. What is with me lately and the whole curry thing? It's addictive, I swear.

Drinking chocolate... ohh. Mmm. Yes, now I want some of that, too. Darn you and your foody posts! :D (No, not really, I love them, they're inspiring!)

Great job on the word count! *\o/*

Coup-fourré!

Those are *HARD* to do!!

Curry is addictive. Definitely. As is the drinking chocolate, and while I didn't not clear out the building, I did get three whole tins of it, which should supply me for quite some time.

Thanks!!

Looks like I started peering at LJ again at the right time! I'd love to see you if you'll have some free time while you're here (and it's been far too long since I've seen Carl, too); tomorrow's kind of up in the air, and next Monday and Tuesday are clear all day (as I'm still jobless) and yeah.

What's your schedule like?

[liralen.livejournal.com]

Oh! Excellent! On Monday, about 3:30 we're getting kicked out of our game, and we'll be in Mountain View!! We want to shop Daiso and go to Butter Flour Sugar, and we'll have Trip and Cera with, so if you'd like to come along on the after-game adventures, or even one of them, that would work out nicely.

So the latter part of the afternoon and evening aren't that tightly planned, yet, but we should be able to do something!

The Art of Bleach book is lovely, yes. :) Glad to hear you made it there safely and are having fun!

It is very lovely... the colors lend something compared to the black and white of the books.

thank you!

Good job on the word count. I hope that you have loads of fun.
Your foody posts always makes me so hungry...wishes I could eat. *hugs*

It has been great fun! I wish you could eat, too.
