Day 25

Yep, Day 25.  

So I made cookies today.  I haven't had one yet, but they are cooling on a rack right next to me as I blog and they smell delish.

Had dinner with some old co-workers last night at The Original El Taco.  I absolutely recommend this place.  It was sooooo good.  It's at the corner of North Highland and Amsterdam (in the space that used to be Sala).  This El Taco place was divine.  I had a bunch of guacamole (chunky and incredible), a tilapia taco and a chorizo taco.  And a few margaritas.  Normally I'm a huge supporter of Pancho's and nothing will do in the Mexican world for me what Pancho's does, but this place, came a very close second.  I suggest going anytime after 7:30, that's when the kids clear out.  But if you have a child (or like being near them while you dine and they whine) then they open at 5:00.  So far, not open for lunch but I anticipate that will change soon as every night of the week they are packed.

That was that.  

I have a job interview on December 3.  I'm not going to share with you, Internet, the details of with whom or where.  I don't want to jinx stuff.  But I'll fill you in post interview.  That's exciting.

Otherwise not much going on.  I missed the finale of The Real Housewives of Atlanta so I'm hoping to catch up on that today or tomorrow (who needs a DVR when Bravo reruns everything 97,000,000 times?).  

Oh, Jamie and I went to see the Kings of Leon at The Tabernacle on Tuesday night.  Man, were they awesome!  What a great band.  I had doubts about them live for some reason (maybe cause Jamie said he saw them on SNL and they sucked, but really, since when is SNL a fair judge on good live performances, unless your name is Justin Timberlake and you have your D*ck In A Box or your Paul Simon in a turkey costume?).  But they rocked it.  The show was sold out and we ended up snagging a pair of seats on the fourth row of the first balcony all the way stage right.  I was able to see the entire band on stage the entire show (which being five feet tall is sometimes not possible).  I wanted them to play all night, but instead I got two really rocking hours out of them.  If you care and you don't already have their new album, you must get it now.  I like tracks 3, 7, 8, and 9.  I don't know the names of the songs, just what numbers.  But the whole album is fantastic.

So that's that for now.  Hopefully in the next few days my life will get more interesting and I'll better things to blog about.  

Here's today's pic.  Jamie said the picture looked like I was a whore looking for a john.  But that's no the case.  I think if anything I'm more like one of those tractor trailers you see driving around.  Maybe I'll get a load of Kings of Leon CDs to deliver to Maine...
