Decadent consumption

I drove 50 miles to my accountant this morning. Bob is great. He writes off everything. I really don't want to know all the details.

Afterwards, I explored the area a little. Ten years ago, I used to work at an animation and effects studio not two miles from Bob. A bit strange to see the vaguely familiar buildings again. As I was driving around, I suddenly had an urge to revisit the Italian Deli where I used to order sandwiches for lunch. Italia Deli. As usual, when it comes to food, I went slightly overboard. Got my mortadella and procuitto fix. I love places like this. Salt packed capers. Amaretti cookies. Barbaresco wine. Cannoli. Castelvetrano olives from Sicily- near the Selinunte area where we visited the ancient rock quarries last year. Such wonderful memories. Ten years ago, I went there for "meat-za-ball" subs. Today, I walked out with cured meats and olives from places I've actually visited.



TiVo brain surgery tonight. There wasn't anything wrong with the five+ year old TiVo, just time for a major bionic upgrade. I bumped up the recording time from 30 hours to 344 hours. Yes, it is now possible for me to watch TiVo non-stop for over 14 DAYS in a row. Such decadence. It might be so much TV that it becomes torture.
