Last night's lesson: When comparing two nearly-identical rolls of ribbon at a fabric store, and wondering why one is slightly pricier than the other, note that the pricier one is probably double-faced satin, and the cheaper one has a rougher matte side.

Also: Tom and I went to The Dube, where I tried the club sandwich again for the first time in a year and realized that my problem with it was that they don't use turkey lunch meat - they use actual turkey breast. Just a different texture. Sandwich itself is decent. Hate their new-ish jukebox; it's so expensive (between 50 cents and a dollar per song) that it's in use barely half the time that we've been there since they got it. They went from the last jukebox - loaded with good cds, and relatively inexpensive - to a newer, internet-based box that I think is loaded with MP3s. Larger selection of music but hugely expensive for a single play. People keep playing "Go Go Godzilla" over and over. If I feel like spending the money, I usually play Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" and then Poison's "Talk Dirty to Me". Also, "Teardrop" by Massive Attack (now better known as the theme song to the show House) and something by Bjork.

(I see myself in the mirror halfway across the room every time we're there, and if my hair is down, I'm always surprised by how long it's getting. I don't think it's been this long in 7 years. And since it's across the room, I can't see how badly it needs a trim!)

Also: We started watching Steamboy but haven't finished it yet. We like it so far.

Mother has been a whirlwind of cleaning this weekend, coupled with emotional instability. It's been "fun." This is because my aunt is coming to visit next weekend and she's freaking out.

That is rather ridiculous for one song. A dollar?! Who's running that restaurant? I-tunes?

Yeah, that's for the "premium" songs (may be more to access some of them, too, but they start at $1) - things the box can access but has to get from some online database.

Even on iTunes you get to keep a copy. This is just to play it ONCE in a crowded diner/bar.
