also known as “things that have happened”, a recurring segment here
1) i had red meat saturday night. i had lamb chops at kokkari estiatorio, one of the best greek restaurants in san francisco. the lamb chops are their signature dish. they were very good. honestly, i would have rather had the fish, but at least i’m past this hurdle (which i cleared to very little fanfare) and i can go about my business as a person again.
2) i got civ4 working in ubuntu. downloaded the game through steam. ran steam and then the game through wine. i wanted to do a little write-up, but then #3 happened. and yes, i know half of that was gibberish to you.
3) my car broke down on the 280, northbound, in burlingame. the 280 is one of the faster highways around, people generally go around 80 on it, so this was… a scary situation to say the least. but i managed it ok, and i didn’t cut anyone off or cause any issues, and i got AAA to tow the car off the right shoulder into a garage in burlingame and i’m currently waiting to hear from the mechanic at said newly-minted AAA approved ASE certified garage as to whether or not i just murdered my ’98 camry.
each of these bullet points deserves its own post, but life isn’t fair, so for now, i give you this.
