where'd everybody go?

well, this weekend i went to this great persian place called 'shiraz'. matt -- you've gotta get greg to take you there for lunch -- it's up in bumblefuck where you work. anyway, the food is great, and it's pretty cheap, considering it's all you can eat rice and lamb and feta and the list goes on. pretty fantastic. highly recommended. just don't ask the waitress for an ouzo. mn tried that and the waitress said 'ouzo'? to which we replied 'yes'. she walked away. something otherwordly happened at the bar and she came back with something that looked cask-aged. all amber and shit. well, we were confused to say the least, so we each tried it thinking, maybe it's just real old ouzo. no, no. it tasted all smoky and whiskey-y. not surprisingly, when the bill came it was johnny walker gold. oops. stupid waitress. the shit was good, though.

the other exciting thing (besides a double feature (whoa -- go see big fish)) was on sunday when we went to some theater in lil' five and saw a stage adaptation of 'geek love'. it was great. a couple of missing details and some weird chronology, but for the most part it was spot on. and the players did a great job. i'd highly recommend it, but sunday was the end of its run. you lose.
