I only have/get to go to New Orleans once tomorrow.

[yrmencyn]

But I was supposed to go twice.  You see, I was supposed to have a meeting with my advisor there tomorrow midday, and then Rebecca (=Shane's girlfriend, recall) is having her birthday party at a kosher Moroccan place in Metairie tomorrow night.  For various reasons, mainly timing of doom, I was going to drive down for the meeting and then return before returning for dinner.

Until my advisor cancelled.  Which is fine and all that, cancellations happen, except that (1) I have a form requiring his signature, which I was hoping to acquire tomorrow and (2) I think he only remembered to tell me because I asked him where, by the way, I should be meeting him.  The form, arg, is annoying but surmountable.  I might could even swing by tomorrow while down for dinner, and if not there's always Ben the Long-Suffering Minion (who did come through just fine last time, did I mention?).  I'm just a little miffed about being offhandedly cancelled on for tomorrow.  It's not a big deal, and whaa whaa whaa, but still.  And besides, the entire purpose of a Livejournal is to whine self-centeredly to all and sundry, so deal.

Still, I get tasty Moroccan food tomorrow.  And I know I blather on about the madness of OMG!Specially!Prepared!Foods, but I've kind of started to come around to that point... kosher/free-range/etc meats really are more flavorful.  Course, whether that's because of good treatment or better feeding or differing breeds is anyone's guess; most specialty breeders/ranchers also use specialty breeds as far as I can tell.  Anyway.  I'm excited because I know ALL A-BLOODY-BOUT Moroccan food thanks to a long steeping in Maghrébin/Beur literature, but I have never once in my life eaten it.  I cannot wait to try a good Moroccan tagine.  Bisteeya would be amazing too, but given the choice I'll stick with the stews in funny hats (Google 'tagine' if that makes no sense).  Mmmm.

Oh well, I'll have plenty of time to translate and read Marcabru tomorrow.

What was the name of that place in Quebec--the Tunisian food? Thinking about that makes me really, really hungry.

[yrmencyn.livejournal.com]

Carthage. Mmm, was it ever tasty.

yeah I've seen all those morroccan restraunts in the metarie area but never ventured to eating at one...one day i will try...

hmm i should also turn in that camp form for the event in bama...i have been having issues trying to fill it out electronically...I guess I'll have to do things the old fashion way of printing it out and doing it by hand. I just hope it's not too late.

Dude. Those forms are due Friday. I think your advisor might be a bit of a twat face.

[yrmencyn.livejournal.com]

Perhaps, although he didn't know about the form: he thought we were just having a general thesis meeting (which we were).

[queenmargot.livejournal.com]

Well... but still. He wouldn't have said anything if you hadn't prompted him. It's not like you'd make the drive to NO and then call and be like, "Yo dude, where we meeting?" But if you were... still pretty rude.

I'm feeling snarky today. :-/

My hair looks awesome today. I think it might be contributing to the snarkiness.

[thelastcricket.livejournal.com]

I kind of love that you just said twat face. May I have permission to use it elsewhere (in abundance)?

[queenmargot.livejournal.com]

Of course. I'm sure I didn't come up with it. But if I did... I fuckin' rock.

That is a funny looking hat alright. First result was a pear lamb tanine, which just sounds supper nummy!
