iPod Skirmish

About yesterday's iPod poll? As of right now - and I know I said I'd post this soon as I woke up, but I went straight to the math competition 'pon waking, so you get "soon as I get to the computer" instead - the poll is closed. List A is a clear winner, with 67 votes to List B's 47.

So. Most of the voters agree with me - my playlist was better. :P Yes, mine's A and his is B; auryn29a and sainthuck guessed correctly! It's difficult to tell our iTunes apart at times, as we've got a lot in common. The dead giveaways here, if you know us, are:

1. Fiona Apple. I would not be caught dead with whiny-chick crap on my iTunes. Especially not covering Frosty the freakin' Snowman. Yes, I know some of you actually like that. *shudder* I love you anyway. As I say to Adam so frequently, usually regarding his puns: "In spite of." Ditto anything involving The Beatles. I can use pretty much the same argument against The Beatles as I do against Tolkein.

2. Ministry. Adam? Not so much with the industrial music.

Other than that? Hell, we even duplicated a band (Oysterband).

But! Anyway. In anonymous competition, mine won. Hee! I am going to make him make me a victory cocoa.

In math-competition news: Elayna didn't place. But there were 280+ kids there, so we don't feel so bad about it. She feels she did her best, and that's what we're after, and she had a good time - yes, my child thinks taking four consecutive math tests at 9 AM on a Saturday is a good time, wtf, dude? - and made a new friend, and was philosophical about not getting a trophy, and she's going to a Girl Scout sleepover tonight and The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe tomorrow, so life, for her, is good. *nod*

Icon request

If any of you can do screencaps...

At the very end of the trailer for Happy Feet, there is a penguin hug. The huggee tells the hugger to knock it off. The hugger, voiced by Robin Williams, replies, "Noooo, you like eet."

I need an icon of that hug, with that caption, s'il te plait. :)

I have achieved icon! Thank you, dragonheart97! Now I shall go achieve nap.

*beam*

Dinner at FloatAway Cafe. We had to wait a little for our table - so the hostess brought us complimentary champagne. We didn't even have to wait that long, really! Just, I'm a semi-regular and we were nice about waiting.

Cheese course. Um, I forget which cheeses we tried. But there was one each of cow, sheep, and goat, and all were terribly yummy. :)

I had the mushroom ravioli in sherry cream sauce. I always feel silly at first getting normal-seeming things there, as you'd think you can get ravioli anywhere, and I feel that I should go for something more outre. But the fact of the matter is that FloatAway does food better than anywhere else. Really. So I got the ravioli, and wow. Adam got the gnocchi with braised rabbit; also wow. They saute the gnocchi; it has a little crunch to it...

I have been having trouble eating lately, but I finished my ravioli. "I am a member of the Clean-Plate Club!" I told Adam. "This means I get dessert."

Dessert. For both of us, incredibly yummy, very strong coffee. For Adam, gingerbread cake with lemon chantilly cream. For me, the warm chocolate tart with coconut sorbet. Flaky on the outside, hot and melty on the inside. Chocolate orgasm.

And I had an excellent pinot noir. *nod*

And all through the meal... I got to be alone with my husband. Which never happens. And we beamed at each other and shared our food and laughed and were silly. And sometimes he just looked at me, smiling, and when I asked why, he said it was because he just liked looking at me.

And that was my (belated) first-anniversary dinner with my husband, and it was very of the good. I got to marry Adam. I am so lucky.
