nope, that's not a word, but look it up for kicks. anyway, little bits and some linkage for you...
i'm not sure the Little Sizzle and i came from Bikey's loins... Bikermommy found an Indian food restaurant right here in Amarillo (hooray!); she and i went there for lunch today (food was good, but i can't make a true judgment until i've had the papad and the masala made spicy), and she had never had Indian food. now, the Sizzle and i agree that Indian food is by far the best cuisine on the planet, so i had high hopes for Bikey... well, she liked the rice and the tomato soup and the naan and the yummy green cilantro-mint-jalapeno-whatever-else sauce, but the rest she wasn't crazy about. was afraid to try the meatballs, not crazy about chicken tikke masala (!!), squinted like she was really takin' a chance on something every time she took a bite of the chicken tandoori... alas, she told me that i would need to find a different partner in town for eating Indian food, which totally stinks, since i have no friends here (yet). lots of takeout in my future.
everyone here is married ('cept me)... yeah, so everyone is either married or coupled; i know there are college boys in this town, but i don't run into them often. this will make for lots of Netflix evenings and many SVU re-runs, and at least i'll be able to snark the rest of ALIAS season 3.
i think Grama has stopped reading my blog... i say this because i talked to her Saturday night and she didn't mention anything about my learning to pee standing up; maybe she was too appalled and embarrassed by my lack of couth to bring it up.
i agree with Frank... he's got a post this afternoon about what we need to do with terrorists. they don't call him a genius for nuthin'. (seriously, pray for all of the hostages -- there are sure to be others, for the leaders of this great country and our allies and for all of the coalition forces.)
don't know if i mentioned it... but i went to Palo Duro Canyon last weekend, and my initial reaction was that it has lots of bugs (for a nature girl, i'm sure not a fan of bugs); after about a quarter mile of trudging through spider webs and seeing big, hairy, nasty, freakishly disgusting beetles, i high-tailed back to the 'Splorer and drove the rest of the way through the canyon, then went home. i'll try again soon and find a trail that actually ascends, since vertical variation is the whole point of hiking canyons.
i hate to keep linking to this guy... but he's somewhat kinda funny-ish and, by my estimation, a bit sarcastic, which always flies well with me. this week Pauly D of WFME is honoring clowns, which gets him an auto-link from the mountaineer, because the Psycho X is afraid of clowns. clowns clowns clowns. yippee! BOO, Psycho!
i take offense... to being called a Large Mammal. but i get over stuff really fast, just ask... um... well... ask Minerva! yeah.
nice day out, idn'it? i love the weather here; we had our company summer party at the park the other night, and they said it was humid for Amarillo... and humid for Amarillo is like 5% or something. nice.
bad sarahk... i feel so guilty; i've been 3 weeks without a massage, and i'm actually working now, so i'm really starting to feel it. my shoulders are so wussy. anyway, i don't know when i'll be in Fort Worth, since i can't leave before the house is in order and would prefer to let gasoline prices drop even more (yes, left, they ARE dropping, and it's not even November yet!) before i make that drive... so i'm going to see a massage therapist here next week, which makes me feel like i'm cheating on Mary. [keep the comments clean or i'll sissify you.] believe me, Mary, it's not you, it's me and my twisted shoulders.
i'm thinking the blogitorium is a little too quiet these days... so we need to have some kind of virtual gathering soon. who has an idea? not me. maybe i just wanted to say "blogitorium" again, because i think it's a neato word.
Is Joe T. Garcia's as good as I've heard?In a couple of weeks I'm going to pick up a pistol & will be in F.W. for lunch,I'm just lookin' for good food,reasonably close to my destination(E. Lancaster).

That Indian food sounds so good! My husband loves curry and anything in coconut milk (that's more thai I think). Trader Joe's has a very good Masala sauce you can just pour over chicken and rice, yum. I must say though, living here in Phoenix has really made me appreciate good Mexican food, there are so many great restaurants with the real deal. When I lived in Portland we had the best Vietnamese food because of all of the immigrants . Anyway, I'm so exhausted (stayed up late watching Hubby's father's day DVD) I'm prattling. I'll go now. G'night.

yeah, fort worth has a lot of great authentic mex restaurants, too, jonag. and great tex-mex on top of that.
i love vietnamese food, too, but i don't know if they have it here.
Joe T's is overrated, IMO.

everyone here is married ('cept me)...
I feel your pain. I really do. I have been in college for four years and am manifestly incapable of finding even a date for dinner and a movie. I do believe God intends for me to be married, but this situation is a slightly concerning to me.
blogitorium. Definitely a cool word if there ever was one.
