before land time





Cambridge has more restaurants and cafes than you could shake a stick at. Lots of them are, for that matter, very good, and not priced any worse than the snack bar. So why do I keep winding up stumbling along the sidewalk, practically passing out from hunger and caffeine withdrawal? Its a paradox.

In particular, I wanted to go to that sushi place in Porter square... But, I donapos;t know how. It doesnapos;t fit into the standard programs of a restaurant or a cafe or a diner or what-have-you, so Iapos;m not sure how to go about ordering. And those giant sushi ordering-forms- what the fark is a oroshumimono*, and what fraction of a meal is it? Its all so intimidating I donapos;t know how people figure this sort of thing out- city folk must be clever.

In other news, one of those subway ads for Vecna Medical explained why its called "Vecna"- apparently its the Czech word for "eternal" (and, as the ad points out, "built to last.")� Which may or may not be considered a valid explanation, and may or may not make the company seem any less ominous.� I wonder, though, if the DD people knew what the word meant when they named a lich-god after it.

And in other other news, I still havenapos;t found a coat.� The fact that my favorite clothing stores�(read: Garment District, Hootenannyapos;s, and Garment District) are in Halloween-mode didnapos;t help, but apparently my idea of a good coat is also fantastically improbable in the realm of modern fashion (that idea is:� black, long, and not mid-century-anachronistic.)� I should just build a big heavy cloak.

(I wonder if Vecna would hire an intern this winter?� Hmm.)
