Home early
Oh, Chicago, you so crazy! Two days ago I could see my breath on the way to work. Coming back from the opera tonight, I was too warm in my unlined raincoat. I hope I get around to writing up this one, since Strauss' Elektra is not performed as often as it oughta be and this was an excellent production, but I don't want to be up until all hours again. I'm already going to be paying for staying up past midnight last night because I was so wound up from the Cardinals victory.
That was one amazing game, by the way. At least three times (starting when they fell behind 6 runs to zero) I said to myself, "Well, that's it, call the undertaker." And damn if they didn't end up winning 9-7. If I were a Nationals fan, I know I would feel just gutted. There are few things more terrible when you're cheering on your team to see them piss away a commanding lead like that. I'm beginning to realise why some people dislike the Cards so much.
I'm in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
monshu's good graces, however. I made surprisingly good time to Greektown and had about fifteen minutes to kill before I was supposed to meet Nuphy at Greek Islands, so I killed them in the Pan-Hellenic Pastry Shop. At first, I was just there for a galaktoboureko. But then I thought of the Old Man and picked up a karyoka and some macaroons, plus some cookies for me.
For dinner, I had tacos al pastor. They didn't call it that, of course; the name on the menu was kontosouvli. But it was a seasoned pork stacked on a vertical spit and roasted and then served with pita for sandwich-making. Tacos al pastor.
