Today:

• Brunched at Cora's with Yolande and maaseru. Usually I'm not fond of Cora's, because the food isn't great and every time I've been there the service has been terrible. Once there was something wrong with the stoves on a Sunday morning, and the place had diners at every table, not one of which had anything to eat.
  
  Anyway, I'm always ready to give them another chance every few years. This time we waited a long time for the water we ordered, and longer for the meals. My oatmeal was bland and tepid, but okay. They brought Yolande the wrong meal, but when the right one came, it was utterly delicious. I want to go back just for that. They brought us coffee, even though we'd all ordered other drinks instead of coffee. We took the coffee anyway.
  
  And then after maaseru had paid for her meal and left the building, they realized they'd charged her for my meal rather than her own. They then asked me to pay for her meal, which was $5 more than mine. I wouldn't; I really thought, since it was their mistake and she was gone, they should have let it go. I was a little out of patience by then. Yolande, who thought it was funny, paid the difference.
  
  
• Had a whole hour of physiotherapy. Yerk. Leslie says I'm progressing, and had a new set of instructions and more painful exercises - one involving pulleys. Next week, both my appointments will be a full hour.
  
  
• A beautiful, beautiful day, weather-wise. Cool, breezy and sunny.
  
  
• Bought some comics at the Silver Snail. Read some of them: X-Factor and Echo. Both terrific. I was delighted to see Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow by Alan Moore is back in print as a TPB. I have the original, but I'm very tempted to buy the reissue, too. (Gad. What a fangirl.)
  
  
• Printed my apazine, which I finished at 2 a.m. last night. Will collate tomorrow.
  
  
• Supper was KFC on explodedteabag's balcony while we talked about books and art and Sherlock Holmes.
  
  
• Watched the pilot episode of Covert Affairs. It was watchable. Gets bonus points for having a nice sex scene in the first few minutes. Loses bonus points for having a car chase. On the whole, it's lighter than I like, but reasonably entertaining. Also reasonably predictable, and not very realistic.
