March 4, 2011. Today, I...

• Finally understood why crazy, wonderful, kind Taguchi-Sensei that I met in Japan several years ago, always wore silly sock with toes (with Birkenstocks no less--no your typical Japanese fashion).  He was a tiny man that ran a gazillion miles every day.  I have these weird toes that step on each other when I run, so when I saw Mr. Taguchi's socks at the running store, I couldn't resist.  Wearing them around the house, I already love them.  I'll give a running report as soon as I get off the couch, in case there are other toe-freaks out there.  I promise not to start wearing Birkenstocks though.

• I got some fantastic photos from La Vie from a few events last summer.  Real Weddings coming next week! 

• Saw The Adjustment Bureau.  Better than Jason Bourne!
• Saw Dravus with the hiccups.  And a great Dane with hiccups is pretty funny!
• Received an email from Gayle that we try Book Bindery, a restaurant on Queen Anne.  Doesn't it look perfect?  And the menu lists "Caramelized Sea Scallops with winter citrus, sunchokes, and Marcona almonds".  I'm going to dream about those scallops tonight.

• Found this lovely tumblr site (though I still have NO idea what tumblr is...anyone?  Do I need to know this?) that is ADDICTING.  Things Organized Neatly.  I can't stop thinking about all of the things I have around here that I could organize and photograph.  I think I'll actually dream about rows and columns of sea scallops with almonds.

Maybe the neatest view of a rose ever.  Love Thomas Edison's laboratory, and did any other Anthros besides downtown Seattle do the pennies-but-with-toast a few months ago?  It was pretty awesome.
