and i swear by the stars, i will learn to cook like a top chef

Other things are afoot...but I felt I should segregate them from the dream post. Real life and dream life being discrete.

Saw "The Incredible Hulk." It was much better than I was expecting (though still no "Iron Man." Tony Stark, yum.) Things that "Hulk" taught me/reminded me of:

1. Tim Roth is hot.
(Especially with tattoos.)
(Especially in tactical gear.)

2. Ed Norton is EXTRA HOT.
(Especially wearing ratty, torn, and REVEALING clothes.)
(...I need a boyfriend.)

3. Liv Tyler is kind of annoying.
(Why does her upper lip protrude an entire INCH farther than her bottom one? No, really, check out her profile.)
(Also: not that great of an actress.)
(Also: gets to touch Ed Norton, when I cannot.)

In less awesome news, I'm having some small drama with a friend of mine. It's the sort of drama that male and female friends sometimes have, but I wish it wouldn't be happening now, when I have so little time left before I evacuate the country. I am 75% sure that only Witt folk are reading this, but to at least make a pretense of circumspection, I'll say only this, and briefly: this friend of mine wants things from me that I cannot (or maybe just will not) give him. Instead of just letting it lay, he has proposed that we "take a break" and not see each other as much. I don't get this. "Take a break" from what? From being friends? He is a large portion of my social life, and I suspect that I am much of his. I am moving away in a month and a half.

THIS IS STUPID.

But maybe this won't come to anything. I'm not even sure what verdict we had settled on by the end of the conversation, so maybe we're fine. I don't know.

Back to awesome news, I met Richard Blais today! He was really cute and funny in person, and he signed my Top Chef cookbook (and one for my mom), and I got my picture taken with him.

Top Chef here I come! (Not really.)

I'm trying to think of a solution that doesn't involve violence.

Nope. Nothing. Maybe yell at him?

Where did you meet Richard? Was Padma there? Did you put her in a box and mail her to me?

Well, if you're offering to come beat some sense into him... ;P

I met Richard at Wordsmith's, that bookstore where I took you, because he was doing a signing of the Top Chef cookbook. He was adorable.

Also, he said that Padma was even hotter in real life. (Is that possible?) She wasn't present at the signing, but I'm hoping to find her reasonably priced on eBay in time for your next birthday.

No, I don't believe that is possible.

I'm imagining myself on the show. I'd be ousted on the first round. Because my only dish would be a large sausage, followed by me pointing and winking at Padma. Then being escorted away by security.

So, if you find her on Ebay, I may avoid some criminal charges!
