Courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] chebutykin, this list of dangerous toys. I think it actually says more about the would-be hipsters at Radar and the nanny-state killjoys at the CPSC.

Was going to head out to Chantilly and get my book tonight, but aborted the run when I found out P's schedule had mutated to a 2000-0400 shift. Instead, I ate dinner at Il Mee, a Korean buffet that offers a decent variety of sushi and a wide range of meats (including seafood) that can -and should be- grilled right there at your table on a little propane grill. I short-changed myself by only partaking of sushi and the previously-cooked items, but next time I go I'm going to make up for my failure tonight, since at $17.95 this is not a bargain buffet.

Anyway, despite her new and annoying schedule, P and I will be going to Jaxx in Springfield Friday night to see Aesma Daeva (featuring Earl Root) and maybe this band Therion that they're opening for. Hat tip to [livejournal.com profile] jolest's SO Jeanne for letting me know Earl was on the loose out here, BTW. This is going to be the first concert I've been to since P and I saw Opeth with Devil Driver back at the Quest in '05, I think. Unless the MetalFest was in '06. Whatever. This ought to be good, operatic and LOUD, LOUD being the operative word here. :D

Oh yeah. First day at work as a permanent employee, nothing much changed from last week, probably not because everyone was ragging on fellow beancounter Luis about the humiliating 52-7 crushing of the Redskins yesterday by the Patriots. Eh. Football. I leave for 23 years and the Deadskins still suck. Some things never change.
