cornerofmadnessSo I had plans for today. Gentle plans but plans none the less. And then I ruined it by getting up way too early. Ha. It did give me time to edit that long short story (not nearly enough but some). I got to the coffee house and choked on my solarpunk story. I did get some stuff out for it but it was clear I knew the beginning of that and then nothing else. I'm not sweating it. If I miss this open call, there are more and more solarpunk/hopepunk ones out there. I will have other chances.
I got to the library and then tried to decide new Pho or groceries. I decided to try that new Pho place my secretary told me about so I put it in the GPS and head off...totally unnecessary, it was literally just past where Bridge turns to Chillicothe. What a WEIRD place for a new restaurant as this is a ick area of town, not horrible mind you but definitely the wrong side of the tracks. It's right across from Osco metal foundry (which stinks up town) and next to the addiction recovery place.
It's inside the weirdest sort of mini mall in a single building thing I've ever seen. So we have a computer/tablet/phone repair thing, a nail salon and the Pho/boba tea place, sign shop all in one place attached to a car wash. Okay then. Inside the hallwall is a HUGE geek museum display of just amazing stuff. I had to ask and I did get a little worried when the waitress said my master the owner owns that. Your master? Should I be calling the police? She seemed okay and very excited by the collection. Me too. I took pictures but they're on my idiot phone.
As for the boba super sweet but yum. The pho was not traditional (or should I say American-style traditional) no basil/sprouts/lime to stir in. I did like it. I am curious though why Chinese food is always relatively reasonably priced while all the other Asian foods places are decidedly not. 15$ for a bowl of soup is a little high. (I got the smaller 13$ bowl) They had anime playing (sadly it was One Piece).
And then the rest of my plans went to hell as I got very sick (not from the food), very hot to the point my hair was plastered to my head, exhausted and my back was hurting. I'm like kidney stones? hot flash from hell? pulled a muscle chasing 30 10 year olds for a week? I'm going with a combo of the last two as I feel fine now but most of the afternoon I was useless.
I'm almost done reading a Star Trek book and there is a thought in my head. I have plenty (in various hidey holes) Star Trek books. Part of me wants to keep and display them all in one book case one day. On the other hand I never reread any more and frankly this one (like most of them) was ultimately disappointing. Do I make a curated geek library some day or just jettison them as I go?
