Note: This meeting actually took place on Tuesday, and it wasn’t a meeting, it was brunch at Magnolia Café on South Congress, but I’ll be damned if i let the facts get in the way of my alliteration
The League of Melbotis and his non-tertiary-personally-named wife have relocated to the capitol city and met up with myself and Lauren. The League has already posted about the meeting, but on the whole it was very enjoyable, except for the scene when a ninja stealthily emerged from the kitchen, seeking to kill the League and use his still-beating heart as an ingredient in his blood-reveng paté.
Fortunatley our waitress was a maîtresse of the bladed fan and with a quick flick of her wrist she severed the ninja from her hands, and brunch continued unimpeded ( save for the mop crew ).
Ninjas: Haters of lovely brunches.
I also had the opportunity to tell the attendees that I had greatly enjoyed John Hodgman’s The Areas of My Expertise. I will now tell you that as well. I greatly enjoyed John Hodgman’s The Areas of My Expertise. It’s a collection, arranged like an almanac, of worthless trivia that is entirely made up by the author. This sounds a bit egotistical, or dumb, but I assure you Hodgman’s deadpan ( in print? ) delivery is absolutly riotous.
In other news, not warped my by fanciful reinterpretation of time, the weather in Austin has turned decidedly chilly, this morning it was 55 as I headed to work. Fall and winter in Austin is a great time of year. I suspect that my dear girl will be a bit cold, but it’s a good opposition to the scorch factor of summer, and I don’t know, there’s an energy and an intimacy to the winter that I’ve always liked.

When one discounts the vicious ninja assault, the brunch, taken as a whole, was fabulous. And should occur again, Lauren’s schedule permitting.
The League confesses to being a bit embarassed upon leaving said brunch when we were chastised for taking a cellular telephone call (not something which is out habit) during the otherwise, if one discounts the attempted assasination, lovely meal. Apologies to all involved. The fog of breakfast tacos was upon me.

As a person in the information society ( no, not of the “Pure Energy” variety ) it is not uncommon to see my thumbs a-mash upon buttons, c’était pas grave

I am disappointed that you are NOT, if fact, of the Pure Energy variety. But then it all would have fallen apart with your sophomore effort, would it not..?
