Okay, I'm not gonna lie. I am pretty proud of myself. Those of you who follow ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)

The other day we went to Flo-Anna's Diner for dinner. Isn't that a great divey greasy spoon name? Even though it was totally a diner ("This is so where Diner Dash was invented."), the place was clean and well kept, and the food was not quite your average greasy spoon fare. The place is run by some Greek women, and once a month they have a Greek night. We weren't there that night, but I ordered the Greek burger, which has feta cheese and tzatziki sauce in place of mayo, and it was really good. S. and I both enjoyed it very much. We will be back! Some day. Only downside is that it's in sort of a sketchy neighborhood.
I am supposed to get my car back on Monday or Tuesday. It's currently with Lexus so they can do their diagnostic tests and what not, and if it comes back clean then the body shop just has to do a bit of detailing and it'll be ready. I am SO READY to have my car back.
My cousin is going to drive me to and from the airport for my winter vacation, which is great because it'll save me $88+tip in airport shuttle cost (not to mention bother with Talis). Only downside is that I have to drive to her place first (she lives much closer to the airport), which means that my car is going to be at her place for the duration of my vacation. That's a downside because they don't really have a garage to speak of, so it'll be out in the elements, and also, over Thanksgiving break, their neighbor had his car stolen. >< Knowing my luck, and how much 2009 hates me, the same thing could happen to mine. Sigh.
This weekend I saw Boondock Saints 2. I liked it and thought it was a good follow up to the original, which I saw only recently (in preparation for seeing the sequel). I enjoy its "style" and the method of filming, as well as the touches of humor. Guess who's in the sequel? Darla herself! She's a redhead, and initially S. and I were both like, we KNOW that woman, who IS she... ohhh! Loved the cameo by you-know-who (not Voldemort).
Okay, now I'm off to play some Professor Layton (sequel) and then bed, as I've got a busy day tomorrow. First is getting my H1N1 shot (work is providing them, so it's not like I can say, "Give mine to a child instead" -- plus I am going from a "moderate" state to a "widespread" state in a week). Then a meeting. Then a physical therapy appointment. Followed immediately by an appointment w/ an endocrinologist. Then right after that a conference call. I'm wondering if I will have time to eat tomorrow, or if I am going to be super grouchy.
