Great day.

First, lunch with fish, kiirstin, and simon at Cameron's (...fish and I came up with a super idea to follow up on corporate web proxies to filter out porn; and that is, a filter that detects "Too Much Information" topics, so you can avoid peoples' personal weblogs that over-share. I hope his company writes this. I'd use it.)

And can I say that Cameron's dim sum is awesome? A bit pricey for a lunch, but as a special occasion, it's just super. They do an excellent job with steamed, fried; egg, meat, seafood, and veggie. I tried a few new dishes this time, but I think my favourite is still turnip cake.

Later in the afternoon, after a nap, I put on my Quaker Fairy Service hat and drove a visitor down to Cambridge, where we met up with a few other Friends and went out for Vietnamese food. That is to say, I sipped tea and chatted, because I wanted to save my appetite for...

Turducken! [livejournal.com profile] halfwitted went totally overboard and made a whole turducken, side stuffings, yummy bruchetta with fresh basil, and cherry cheesecake, for [livejournal.com profile] mtffm's birthday. It was all quite tasty, though a lot of the effect of the turducken could be achieved by cooking a boned duck or chicken by itself. Still, I can say I've had turducken now. Thx [livejournal.com profile] halfwitted.

The crowd was young, but not as young as I originally thought- we did a poll, and approximately 5 of these folks were students, and the remaining 22 or so was not. Some folks who I knew from & [livejournal.com profile] persephoneplace parties, and I got to meet some interesting new folks too. ...[livejournal.com profile] mtffm is quite the juggler- five balls while sitting on the floor is a no mean feat.

Hm, I think I was gonna say more, but I'm too tired. Bed. Night!

Eep! There's a lot of overlap, I gather. Hm. We were supposed to be at that party, but our whole evening got derailed by [livejournal.com profile] okoshun's work. :(

[livejournal.com profile] lovecraftienne said roughly as much, when I said I hoped that you two would be able to make it, since I've never actually met you face-to-face. Some day!

Bummer about the Saturday-night work; I've done it, I didn't like it. Sometimes can't be helped though.

[pedantic] Actually, it's no mean feat. A mean feat is a small one. [\pedantic]

[foot]Yar![\foot] That's a mean foot.
