Salty Day
Well, just tonight.
Ended up eating the stuff from before, the coffee as expected, and I almost had the miso soup tonight. I made it, thinking it was the same as the other kind I had gotten. It was the same brand, but instead of being miso with tofu, this one was miso with seaweed. I assumed they would be made the same, right? Wrong. Very, very wrong. Unlike the tofu one, you're only supposed to use 1/2 the packet at a time (mixed in with 1 cup of boiling water). Of course, I didn't realize this until AFTER I had dumped the packet into the water and noticed that it was awfully dark. I quickly boiled another cup of water and dumped it in, but gah. It was so salty I think I only had like half (and it seriously probably was about 90% sodium in two servings), and so I dumped the rest and had the other 1/2 of my wheat bagel from this morning with almond butter.
Just read on the Bway boards that Michael Cerveris, who played Booth in the Assassins revival, will be playing Sweeney when it comes to Broadway later this year (or next year?). I've only ever heard him sing on the Assassins CD and he was the only person in the cast I could actually STAND. So that's okay. No, the problem is that Patti fricken' Lupone is supposed to play Lovett again. She is AWFUL as Mrs. Lovett. She played opposite George Hearn in the concert version a few years ago, which I've seen several times and have the CDs of. I hardly ever listen to them though just cuz her version of Lovett is so painful to sit through. Hell, I'd rather hear Mr. Hadary play Mrs. Lovett. Actually, that's a brilliant idea and I would pay good money to see it, haha. ^__^
So yeah. I guess it's not FINAL yet, but if she gets the role, you can cross that off my list of shows I want to see. Even if it is Sweeney.
Eh, that's all for now. I have to do a little more Holocaust studying tonight and then I'm hoping to finish Dark Horse tonight. So good.

Dammit! I hit preview and not publish, then closed the window!
Matt here... again...
Miso soup. Reminds me of SEVEN MOONS. Have you tried it yet? Seriously, that must be my new favorite restaurant (ok, after Twin Oaks). Heidi and I go there every weekend she's down now. I used to eat only the Chinese food there, but now Heidi's got me eating SUSHI. Yeah, me! Sushi!!! And I like it! Ok, it's tuna rolls (and california rolls, but i guess that's not sushi). But sometimes I eat some of Heidi's plain sushi (seaweed and rice-less slabs). It's good, too. ME! SUSHI! Haha...
Anyway... um... I want to also thank you for returning the stuff, and letting me borrow the CD's, and sending me a copy of the paper. I'll email you more about that later. Goodnight! [:-)

Haha, funny you should mention 7 Moons. Rich and I go there all the freaking time, in fact we're probably going there tomorrow! :D
Their sushi is SO GOOD-- probably the best I've had anywhere. I try to branch out and get something different every time we go there, though. Rich usually just gets crab rangoons, some kind of fried rice, and some kind of chinese chicken. But that's fine cuz they give you so much I usually end up eating some of his stuff, too. ;)
Congrats on trying the sushi! hehe I think most people like it (or at least don't think it's nasty) once they actually try it. Tuna rolls are good, but I'm a bigger fan of the salmon myself. The only thing I've had and didn't like was a big slab o' shrimp. That was just weird and wrong, haha. Even eel isn't that bad.
Anyways, I look forward to your comments on the paper. . . And did I mention that you should listen to Avenue Q? ;) It's not everyone's cup of tea, but I think it's a lot of fun.
