Tomorrow, Stinger turns 29 and reminds me that my own final year in my twenties is fast approaching. (Tune in November 4th for my major meltdown.)

He's not super excited to commemorate this occasion, but that's only because he doesn't know what I have planned. I'm dying to tell someone how clever I've been, but I can't take the (snowball's) chance (in hell) that he'll actually read my blog before tomorrow and find out, so you guys are stuck in the dark for a few more days. It's going to be cool, though.

In other news, Siam Orchid, a new Thai restaurant, just opened in town, so we're going there for lunch. The article about it said they hoped by bringing something new to the area, a type of cuisine previously unavailable, they'd carve out a nice little local niche for themselves. I'm afraid they're going to be really unhappy to discover that there's already a fantastic Thai place in town that has a large and very loyal clientele. I'm going to check out the new place today, and if they're any good, I'll review them--but they'd have to be pretty freaking amazing to lure me away from the already established joint. I'll keep you posted.
