Tum Rup Thai.

A small, but powerfully compact Thai restaurant by my house offers a different take on the normal martini - I give you the "Thai-Rone". Please read what's in the drink... you'll get it.

Results, Poll #54, Spending.

So, it looks like I have at least one t.c reader that has a large trust fund - please come forward... just tell me... I need an expensive operation on my dorsimus muscle - will you help me with a check made out to "Cash"?

The results are as follows:
- 0 people (0%) chose 'yes, drastically' - well, aren't we the optometrists.
- 4 people (40%) chose 'some' - this might be better than selling all your psoessions and moving to Alaska. Might.
- 3 people (30%) chose 'a little' - This is less than some, so maybe you're not too worried about your job, or your monthly payments, or your spouses job, or your parent's retirement fund (who do you think's going to support them?).
- 2 people (20%) chose 'not really' - Golly, you don't give a sweet God damn, do you!?! Must be nice.
- 1 person (10%) chose 'no, i have a HUGE trustfund' - nice try, you're lying. And if you did have a trustfund, you'd be shitting your pants b/c it lost over half its value in the last 12 months. Shitting.

New poll up as soon as possible... keep an eye out for it!

Isles Buns & Coffee.

Looking for a bit of an extension to being out of the apartment on a sunny weekend day, I decided to stop at Isles Buns & Coffee on my way home from the Loppet spectating.

And good thing I did! This place is a great little "hole in the wall" kind of place that makes finding new eateries fun. They have an extensive sweet buns menu, and even something for the kids named "puppy dog tails".


The cinnamon bun I had was very tasty, light, fresh from the oven... but what really puts them over the top, the frosting. Of course, each bun has some when you grab it out of the counterperson's hands, but here at Isles, you can add more frosting, on your own, with no one watching you or telling you to stop. In fact, it's on the self-serve counter!!!

Do be careful not to go overboard though... tummy ache.

Finally, I suspect when and if you journey to this store, you won't have to see and hear this spank playing his squeeze box at noon on a Sunday. Don't get me wrong, "Lady of Spain" is great, but staring at this guy's goofy mug while I'm eating is not.
