Here's a fast and cheap idea: I'll post the plates one by one here. If you click on them you can see them up close, larger than life. I'm posting them last to first so that when they're all up there you can page down and they'll spell out their words top to bottom.

Last night I went to see Margaret Cho with my friend Barb. Afterwards we went to Finale, a dessert restaurant in my neighborhood. Margaret Cho was really funny but the killer for me was the dessert.

The tastes and textures of the food were so exquisite and satisfying and so easy for me to come by. What a privilege it is to be me! Some people's lives are nothing but drudgery and pain. Some people live in fear for their lives and those of their families. Some people are lucky if they can find a raw potato to eat. Me, I can walk up the street to the local restaurant, pay ten bucks and go to temporary heaven.

I might not have written about that if today's Vietnamese lunch hadn't also been so delicious and easy to come by.

Tonight I'm going out with my friend Tammy.

I guess greed is an appropriate theme for this weekend considering all the going out to eat that I'm doing. I wonder what will happen when I get to lust? I can't wait to find out!

I Too Am A Clam

I'm beginning to realize that I'm not using this blog to my best advantage. There's a lot of coming out I could do here but it doesn't occur to me. I'm not really in the habit of letting what's going on in my head out into the world.

No wonder I was so upset about that 400 year old clam - it was a relative!

Instead of sending poor Liz an e-mail book about my wild dreams for a video game I could let them out here.

Not now though. It's lunch time. I'm going to get some Vietnamese food! Mmmm!

P.S.: So far so good with the making fear my new best friend thing.

Notice I'm still being a clam.

Cookies - Not The Kind You Bake

Here's something puzzling: I just went and googled gaming magazines because I'm interested in games but I don't know much about them. I went to the "Games.net" link that came up and was met with two strange ads: one for the Pediegg, an electrical callus removing device, and one for Max Factor cosmetics.

That has to be something to do with my cookies. A site that I've never been to before that is probably visited mostly by men knows that I'm interested in womens' beauty products. I expected targeted marketing from sites that I use often but this is the first time I've been to a completely new site (new to me) that pegged me right away. Wiley!

I'm not buying any of that stuff though.

An Unveiling

Here's what I've been working on for the last four months or so. You can't see much in this photo. I'm working on an update to my website where you can see each plate in detail. I'll post a link on this blog when the update's done.
