Up lateish. Ran into someone at Sahara Mart, a reminder of the virtues of getting out. Went to the Post Office. Long line, but there was someone who could hand over packages. Yay! Yay? No -- my mail is not handled by the post office three blocks from me, it is handled by a post office on the other side of the Moon -- excuse me, on Pete Ellis. Supposedly even my local post office's own mail is handled by Woodbridge, because they go by zip code, and the post office which handles 03 and 04 mail is located in 01.
It being lateish, I didn't feel I had time to bus over, wait, and bus back, given eating and Pirates. So that's what I'll be doing tomorrow at some point.
Italian sausage at Bloomington Sandwich Co. was okay, nothing special.
Oh, yesterday lyceum and I went to Nomad Buffet, which replaced American Chopstick, the Mongolian BBQ. Nomad also has a BBQ, which neither of us tried -- I was diverted by everything else, and she was afraid of the non-frozen state of the meat slices. I sampled almost everything from the buffet, at least the Chinese things (vs. macaroni and cheese), plus some prime rib which they cut raw and cook for you. Conclusion: it sucks. The prime rib wasn't bad; a vegetable momo (Tibetan dumpling) was interesting, the spicy tofu was in fact spicy tofu. But the egg roll was dry, if spicy; the nomad chicken was dry and bland, the salmon on the sushi was almost completely tasteless. Fried rice and General Tso's chicken might have been okay, but I wasn't inspired to get more, and the buffet is about $9; you're better off at China Buffet.
I thought I was tactful in not complaining too loudly, but lyceum said the guy -- owner? -- was sitting right behind me, and looking sad. He gave me a "come ten times, next one free" card -- I was polite enough to take it, rather than saying "I don't think I'll be needing this."
Who knows, maybe the BBQ part is actually decent.
