Two things for a Saturday night:

1) I am dying for a fish taco right now. I was a late fish taco convert; in fact, the first time I had fish tacos was just this last April, at a fabulous Mexican restaurant in NYC. I had never ordered them before, because I’m only a fan of fish under the right circumstances and to me, TACO just didn’t seem like the right setting for fish enjoyment. But I gave it a shot, and boy, was I glad I did. They were fan……TASTIC. Fresh, light, not too much “stuff” on ‘em, just the right amount of breading, mmmmm.

So tonight, I had a sudden hankering for fish tacos. You’d think, seeing as how I live in the third largest city in the US, that fish tacos would be lurking around every corner (okay, not sure I want my fish tacos “lurking”….) but some Googling led me to this Trib article lamenting the lack of authentic fish taco-ry around these parts, and describing what makes a good fish taco in excrutiatingly mouth-watering detail. Talk about frustration. The closest place that supposedly has an adequate specimen is a 20-minute drive, and we were hoping for takeout, as taking four kids out to dinner is not only prohibitively expensive, but usually not all that fun, either.

So then I told that jerk Toni about my hankering, she got the hankering too, and she immediately ran out to a restaurant in her little town and fish taco-ed it up. Sometimes life just isn’t fair.

2) Toni and I have been salivating over the upcoming release of the X-Files 2 movie and went on YouTube in search of previews. And in addition, we found some terrifically corny fan vids, some of which–like this one–were so cheesy we had to click away out of embarrassment.

Oh wait, there’s a third thing. If you are an author or aspiring author and haven’t already seen it, you must check out this video. Hilarious. And I can so relate. I hope the author gets tons of sales from this video so he doesn’t have to worry about Twittering too much.
