Monday was our one-year anniversary, and we had planned on going out to dinner, but Jules had caught a nasty cold so we decided to stay in. He managed to cook us a lovely dinner including wine, steak, veggies and garlic bread. We stuffed ourselves silly and played Lego Indiana Jones followed by a viewing of Die Hard With a Vengeance on Blu-ray. We both agreed that was just about the coolest way to celebrate our marriage, be it under the weather or healthy. We postponed our dinner out to last night when he was feeling a little bit better and could enjoy it. $40 got us both extremely full tummies of Japanese yummies and 2 bottles of hot sake at our favorite Japanese restaurant, Maneki, which is about 3 blocks down the street from our place. (Delicious food and amazingly low prices, highly recommended!) Happiness.

The politically-correctness of these window-washing signs is delicious enough, but the cherry on top is the fact that they haven’t swapped out the older signs declaring “Men” working above. Are they trying to make a statement claiming men are not people? (It should be noted that every time I’ve seen this crew working I’ve seen *only* men working, so it lends itself to a bit of confusion.)

Earlier this week I walked down to Jimmy John’s for lunch, hoping to get a BLT. Due to the salmonella-ridden tomatoes making loads of people sick, the best they could offer me was a BL, which didn’t sound very satisfying.
