update with strawberries and tequila
Apr. 28th, 2006 10:13 amI got neighbor B to go for a walk yesterday evening, in the cool and overcast, to the local farmer's market, just starting its season in Saltillo Plaza. We were joined by neighbor C. I got some lovely organic strawberries (you really haven't tasted strawberries until you've tasted organically grown ones) and a little container of absolutely drop-dead-good sundried tomato and walnut pesto.
We were joined by another neighbor, T, and went for margaritas at Nuevo Leon, where we ran into some other nice folks and it turned into dinner out on the back deck of the restaurant, where we could see flocks of birds doing circle dances in the heavy grey sky. Also a Sanyo blimp, circling, circling...
So that was fun.
This weekend is the "extremely grand opening" of the new Blanton Art Museum on campus. There's a whole lot going on, all free, lots of music and art and food and hands-on stuff. The full list of events, 24 hours worth, from 9pm Saturday night until 9pm Sunday night, is here.
Chinese zombies are called kuang shi. The corsair/renegado/pirate world of the 17th century was extremely mulitcultural and tolerant of differences in race and religion; everyone worked together to rob the rich. There were quite a few powerful female pirate captains, some of them Asian. All of these facts are relevant to the story on which I'm working.
