I feel very round.

brooksmoses and I decided to go to Mary's for dinner (most excellent Chinese food). Mary's is having the Week of Tuesdays, though, so we went to Pho Pasteur instead and I had soup. (This was excessively adventureful, but we got unlost eventually.)

I would like to note that their soup is really, really, really good. And served in bowls approximately the size of the cross-section of my body containing my stomach. Now, admittedly, I am not in possession of very large cross-sections, but even so.

Other notes:

Speaking of mode violations: I witnessed a commercial the other day for a hotel chain. It was riffing off "Wouldn't it be loverly". ("All I want is a room somewhere.") The singers had perfect diction. I would like to register a complaint with the management.

The Bast statue is dry; I need to bake it done. I am fretting vaguely about incluing on worldbuilding stuff in the section I finished yesterday, but oneironaut's helping me with that. And I'm absolutely positive that there was mroe I wanted to note, but I am too brain-flattened to bring any of it to mind.

And on the way home, I saw a red door (and I had it painted black).

The excessive adventurefulness was more in the driving around finding parking near Mary's, and getting home from there; getting from Mary's to Pho Pasteur was quite simple, on account of having a direct T connection between the two, or very nearly so. Most of the adventuring can be summed up in the observation that when, as we were nearly out of Boston proper on the way home, we came across a split in the road and had to make a sudden and uninformed decision as to which side to take, we were deeply off-balanced and disconcerted to find that we'd taken the right one -- the previous four or five times we'd had that sort of situation, we'd consistently taken the wrong one.

(Well, ok, there was a bit of the adventuring that didn't come from that sort of thing, but instead came from the fact that the Tobin Bridge was apparently closed to traffic without detour signs being placed.)

The fried rice at Pho Pasteur is really good, as well. Not quite the really really really good of the soup, but still quite good. And much easier to take the leftovers home.

Oh, and we also stopped at Tosci's on the way back to the car, and I had peach sorbet and honey vanilla ice cream.
