You're just mad that Sanctum Santorum's never had "a dinner for Matt", aren't you?

I was upset that my last meal at Saison had precious little froth. I don/t know if I mentioned this, but the new space is absolutely beautiful. The problem is that the best (communal) table is really set up for people who love to photograph. When we asked to be moved, they thought we were nuts. n.b. the anchovy dish smells a little like Santorum, NTTAWWT.

At a Chinese wedding reception dinner right now and they are serving ice wine even before the first course is out. What kind of plebeian crowd is this?

I'm honestly the opposite. I think most of what I write is crap, and when somebody tells me it's great, it always comes as a shock. I had a professor ask me to read a paper at an undergrad symposium once that I had written in about 4 hours the night before it was turned in (I did not, however, tell him that), and one of the questions I got when I presented it, from somebody else in the class, was "how do you learn to write like that?". I had no idea how to respond to that. Practice?

And yet, I write.

My dad (been writing for longer than fg believe it or not) told me when I started that he will read stuff even from 10 years ago and he can't believe he wrote it.

JK.

I think you've figured out the best use of Tumblr; quick, pithy photo-heavy posts and it works quite well.
