i just ate too many olives

i'm going to miami for wmc in a matter of days. i can't wait.

this time i'll try to avoid getting a sunburn. i always thought i was exempt and/or excused from that kind of thing...until last year in miami when i slathered on body butter and fell asleep for hours in the sun. i suspected nothing till i took myself a shower and felt my arms burning up and started flailing them away from me yelling "....aaaaaaaarrrrr...what ISSSS THAAAT?!?!" but then i was fine after that. i'm sure that was just the tip of the iceberg of what people with real sunburns feel.

roj took some pics at tribal cafe.

things i love right now:

i found these huge juicy greek olives marinated in sicilian spices. i got them from the beloved olive bar at whole foods. i...can't...stop...

i am a meat eater, but i've never been one to order steak at restaurants often. but there's this ribeye steak prepared in a certain way where it's called tagliata. it is so damn good.

red wine. (with steak)

the watson twins. you can hear some of their songs on myspace.

jenny lewis, too. the watson twins are touring with her (they're on her album). they'll be at the recher theater on wednesday and then the birchmere on thursday, but dang i have plans on both of those days. jenny lewis and the watsons just did a live segment on kcrw's Morning Becomes Eclectic (my favorite radio show). what always sorta bothers me is that once i hear an artist play their songs live in the studio, the cd sounds like crap to me. my favorite song she sings is "secular" towards the end of the session.

the movie "wet, hot american summer". dang that's funny.

carpaccio.

chirashi. (though i think i've overdone this a bit and need to abstain for awhile)
