I had a very nice day yesterday. I made spinach-artichoke dip and crabcakes with the invaluable assistance of selffriend Kurt and watched 6 episodes of Chef! at his - very wise - suggestion. I also earned $25 delivering papers in my neighborhood, which is actually a rather enjoyable job, seeing as it took maybe an hour, I don't get up early to do it and the weather is really rather nice. Too bad it's not a regular gig, eh? I need one of those. Getting back on topic, I'm now in College Park with the girlfriend. It was such a fine day. I'm looking forward to whatever today will bring.
Iron Man is coming out. May 3rd is Free Comic Book Day, and there is a computer show in CP. I do not know how this weekend is going to go down, exactly. What I really want is a full belly and a bunch of friends around me. That will be the goal.
I wish I had an idea or a story to tell here. Gosh, I haven't been having any weird ideas lately. I managed to make my computer dual-boot in XP and Ubuntu. That was pretty cool. I've started developing the habit of sorting beads in tiny bowls on my desk with tweezers, while I'm on the phone or listening to audio. Pretty humdrum, really.

I'm watching her in the kitchen right now.
The meal is almost ready. She's been preparing a feast for me over the course of something like the last three hours. Rose (ro-ZAY) sauce with chicken over thin spaghetti. St. George's Day mushrooms. A hasty but still delicious bruschetta. Caesar salad, because we both need to eat more vegetables. I contributed by throwing together a nice garlic paste to spread in the crevices of a crusty Italian loaf. (I also minced the onions and garlic - she's very sensitive to onions.)
Watching her softly sing to the oh-so-indie Belle and Sebastian cd she has playing makes me want to get up and give her a hug. It is senses-shatteringly obvious that this girl is both certifiably crazy and head over heels for me. And I'm right there in same groove, ya dig?
I have a heart in my hands and I'm very, very thankful for my gentler instincts.
Time for more bruschetta. I hope everyone's having a good time today.
