    Kampai!!

    Sushi socks, DO WANT Sushi socks! They’re $5.39/pair from Otaku Mode. The sushi detail is knitted into the sock with colored thread instead of being printed. Seven versions are available: Masuzushi (trout sushi), Shrimp, Octopus, Red Caviar, Tu… View this post on Google+

    Teppanyaki Woo-Woo!

    Oh, yeah! PvPonline! I used to read the strip a lot more consistently. I should try and get that set up in Google Reader, I had it when I was reading via Bloglines. This reminds me of a wacky experience we had at our favorite sushi-teppanyaki joint, Kampai (which is conveniently located close to O’Hare, visitors stranded at the airport!). They have a very large location, with the floaty-boat sushi bar at the left hand end (with its own entrance) and the steakhouse/”hibachi place” restaurant at the right hand. They actually had two full-size dining rooms on the main restaurant…

    Faux Cream Puff! Beware!!

    Take note: if you eat at Kampai, the local sushi joint not far from O’Hare, THIS IS NOT A CREAM PUFF with CHOCOLATE! It is bean paste with brown bean sauce and white bean sauce! It is a savory masquerading as a dessert! Beware! Via: Flickr Title: 02-02-08_1802.jpg By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 14 Mar ’08, 9.43pm CDT PST

    MIA from Blogaria, lost in Second Life

    Yes, I’ve been remiss. Yes, I’ve been up late a lot. The steep learning curve has been leveling off, though, and I may even watch television tonight (tomorrow for sure, because Torchwood is on). Some things going on in my life that don’t require logging on: Last week at Holy Moly, we celebrated All Saints with great music, and a moving and joyful (and very wet) baptism. St Nicholas has a font that’s more like a wading pool, it looks like this when not actually in use: This is from last year’s Bishop’s Visitation with Bp. Victor Scantlebury, the assistant…

    Resurfacing

    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) I feel as if I’ve broken the surface of a deep, still pool – I’ve been submerged in the latest and last book in the Harry Potter series, and a few minutes ago I read the last chapters, the last paragraphs, the last words, the last page. And now I’m breathing deeply and taking a look around me for the first time in a while. It’s not that I’ve spent the entire weekend with my nose buried in a book – I did end up spending some time at the rummage sale…

    Non-Stop Activity Weekend

    It was another wild whirl of social events for us this weekend. No, really. Friday, we went out for sushi at Kampai, a local favorite kind of place. It’s the kind of place that really floats our boats when we want a lot of good sushi fast, or relatively fast. We’ve been going there for 10 years now, and it’s one of those places where we don’t even have to communicate in complete sentences – or with words, even. Sometimes, all that is necessary to indicate a desire for sushi is an arm, extended in expectation that it’ll be twisted.…

    Things Done and Left Undone

    It’s been a busy week at work and at home and at church. I’ve gotten through a ton of work at work, done not so much work as a lot of thinking at home, and did some interesting new things at church. Saturday, didn’t do too much – I was thinking a lot about family members near and far, hoping for the best for one person in particular. Schlepped around and relaxed, otherwise. Much playing with the cat. David went in to work for the whole day, leaving me to my own devices. Sunday started out with a big last-minute…

    Well, CRAP

    I missed my session with the personal trainer at the workplace healthclub this morning! For some reason, even though it was on my online calendar, I had it in my head that it was an evening appointment, not a morning one. Well, crap. I emailed my apologies to my trainer, Natalie. She’s a good kid. Very young, very small, very eager to get several women fit. Each one of us nearly twice her size. Most of the others in my group missed the last nutrition meeting due to schedule constraints – tomorrow I have to remember to have a meeting…
