I’m heading off to NYC and then up to Boston for Readercon. Looking at my calendar between now and September it looks like the longest stretch of time that I’m home is twelve days.
So tonight, even though I had stuff to do, Rob and I went on a date. We went up to Ohana Hawaiian restaurant where my husband ordered spam musabi as an appetizer. I do not understand this snack.
After that we biked to the Roseway theater to watch Toy Story 3. The warnings that it was a) really a horror film and b) would make me cry were both accurate. Once again, Pixar proves that they understand character and story. Also, as Rob points out, their films are beautifully edited and paced.
I’m going to go through my checklist again and then crawl into bed with my sweetie. It’ll be a week before I see him again.
a) I’m jealous of your love life.
b) I love spam musubi! Really, it’s the little spice between the rice and spam that is so tasty. Sometimes I make it for myself at home. Katsu chicken musubi used to be my favorite meal when I was community college.
c) I will never completely understand Hawaiian cuisine’s obsession with spam. I don’t think anyone will.
Have a good time at ReaderCon!
Traveling mercies!
