Lately, it has been Neko Case's new album, Middle Cyclone. The first time I heard it, I wasn't sure I really liked it, but it has grown on me to the extent that now I think this, along with Blacklisted, are my two favorite Case albums. "This Tornado Loves You" stands out in particular, it reminds me of home. Especially lately, as every other day the tv runs a marathon weather alert.
In other news, I cannot believe that the little suburb I live in finally has a sushi restaurant. :D Progress, people! I decided to check it out today and it was pretty good. My favorite sushi place is still Tokyo Sushi, but at least now, I don't have to drive all the way up to the north side of the city to get decent sushi.
I had smoked salmon, tuna, eel and an Okie roll. The Okie roll had eel on top, plus salmon, cream cheese, jalapeno and bacon. Guess why I ordered it? It was good. Could have been more bacon-y though.
There's also a Vietnamese pho restauarant next door. I am not as crazy about Vietnamese food as I am about other Asian foods, but it seems they do serve bubble tea, so I will probably stop there to get a drink sometime. (I will probably try pho again too. I like to try things several times before I give up on them.)
I don't think the recession is affecting Oklahoma all that badly. A couple of large plants closed, but it's not been that bad and it's still really inexpensive to live here. And in Moore, there are pretty much new restaurants and businesses opening all the time. It has really grown a lot over the past two years. Now they just need to open a bookstore.
