downtown down time

Today I woke up feeling like shit. So I stayed home and slept. A lot. and read and did nerdy things like listen to Air America talk radio and sign petitions. They've been talking a lot about the whole mess of a situation surrounding what Ann Coulter said about John Edwards the other day. I'm convinced this woman is certifiably insane. She's very in favor of killing millions of civilians in the countries we're "at war" with, has said she wished democratic politicians in this country were killed by terrorist attacks, and still sees her book sales freaking soar. google or youtube the videos if you want to see some serious hate speach that passes for political talk.
Poe has gotten into this really weird habit of dropping his favorite toy in his water dish and letting it sit there and soak up water. I asked the behaviorist at work why in the world he would do that and the only thing she could think of was that he'd figured out it could be like his own little portable water source. He drags that thing around the whole house..


Barrett had a major jonesin for sushi the other day so we decided to walk down to Chocolate Sushi, this really rad restaurant we'd seen thats near our house. On the way, this caught my eye...left right in the middle of a parking lot..

The restaurant was really nice and there was almost nobody there. The entire cocktail menu was custom drinks that were named after Kill Bill characters. There were a bunch of vegan friendly choices, including this really good roll that had 5 different kinds of vegetables, peanut butter and a miso vinaigrette. Sounds weird, but it was sooo good.


Barrett made an almost-paste of wasabi and soy...perhaps too much?

I was sooo freaking full after leaving that place. We promised the server we'd be back!
Later we went downtown to see the Camille Rose Garcia art installation. I tried to sneak some pictures but was quickly hushed and informed I was not allowed to do that! Bummer...her stuff was amazing.
