• didn't get too creative with Restaurant Week a couple weeks ago. Did do Fogo de Chao and Melting Pot. Both were fabulous and had company for both which was even more fabulous. 
• thursday I was all ready to sit down and watch Grey's Anatomy and make some pottery ornaments for Christmas but the debate was on every channel. ugh. not exactly how I wanted to spend my evening. I feel 4 years ago I cared more about politics, this year I figure both candidates are very poor choices and can't see how I'd vote for either. Obama didn't do what he said he would (I recognize that wasn't all his fault), Romney wears his special Mormon underwear, and neither seem to be truthful or honest. 
• sketched out some plans and david brown built me a couple more wooden molds to use for making pottery. awesomeness. I asked him if it was weird that he makes me tools to make something else with and he said in woodworking it's called a "jig." 
• didn't do ACL this weekend but did watch Florence and the Machine and The Black Keys online Friday night. And last night went out to Uncle Billy's on the Lake (in the Oasis compound - if you haven't been there lately it is literally a compound now) to see Gin Mill Hymns and The Dunwells. Good show. Live music makes me miss my old life and the old life of Thomas when he'd play out at coffee shops or ghetto pizza places.
• things I either missed the memo explaining why they are cool or I am just so over it: honey badgers, narwhals, hashtags, memes, nom nom, chevron.
