Why a journal of restaurant listings?
It occurred to me that I kept losing track of good places to eat, whether
I had first stumbled across them myself or had them recommended to me.
I found this annoying. Keeping a record of them in LiveJournal
accomplishes two things: it means I have a net-accessible list of places
I've either eaten at or intend to eat at, and it means I can share my
experiences with anyone else interested in food.
Why restaurant listings, in particular?
There are three great pleasures in my life: food, sleep, and sex. I try
to engage in them all at regular intervals. I get grumpy if I don't.
There isn't that much to say about buying sleep. "David and I agree that
the Ibis Hotel in Amsterdam has the best beds on earth." That's the most
memorable sleep-related recommendation I've heard lately. Beyond that,
"Zzzzz", pretty much sums up a successful sleep consuming experience.
There's plenty to say about sex, but all my sex has been exchanged in a
friendly way. Part of being friendly about sex, for me, is not posting
sexual experiences on LiveJournal. If I ever do purchase any sex, I'll
consider posting about it here, as it'll likely make a funny story. Besides, there's plenty of that in other people's journals.
That leaves food. Well, buying food is something I do almost daily. I
like to eat. My eating preferences are eclectic and prone to odd
cravings, which I tend to indulge at the earliest available opportunity.
I don't like to spend a lot of money while doing so, but I don't much care
about decor or atmosphere. Sanitation, however, is important to me.
As a result, most of these entries will emphasize good food, a variety of
cuisines, low price, and little pretense. Where an entry deviates from
this I'll try to note that. This isn't so much a review site as a list of places and experiences. I make no claim to objectivity.
I also like trying fast food chains not local to me, so some of those will
appear, also.
Won't there be anything else?
Occasionally, I may talk about markets or groceries. And I may wander off
topic to talk about other things. It's my journal, after all.
Hey, there's nothing new here!
So, I'm on the road a lot. Sometimes I'll even be without net-access.
Probably I'm finding new places to eat. By and by there will be new entries.
There is a significant backlog of entries. I'll start by posting some of
them next.

I've never used ekno, but Leah appears to be using it regularly.

It looks as if she's just using ekno for outgoing mail. Or something like that. I also send you a message header that has both addresses and you can decide for yourself.
Let me know.

you plan to have only eateries, just like i planned on only blonde jokes and poetry, but the evil will *suck* you in.
