food, sort of

1. The Thai restaurant that finally opened in Roslindale Square is going to put a serious crimp in my finances, I can already tell. Let's review. Last night: Thai food at the restaurant. Tonight: Thai food take-out. And it's only Wednesday.

2. For an interesting (read: queasy-making) consumption-related experience, try watching the Silence of the Lambs on tv, featuring Hannibal Lecter describing gruesome cannibalistic meals, interspersed at regular intervals with commercials for restaurants featuring close-ups of steak.

Not sure what to make of this, but it can't be good.
Whoops - commercial's over. Back to wiling away the irretrievable hours of my quasi- adulthood in front of the boob tube...
