Belly, Sushi and Bling

No, no one is moving anywhere, necessarily, it's just that everyone needs to explore all their options. Especially, when you've got so much bling, or 'ice,' as it is known. When The Great PunkyDunky sold his big 'ol '80 Mercedes Vegetable Oiler on Craig's List, the buyer paid cash. You can't have all that cash without displaying a little ice, so we got him some from the freezer.



Meanwhile, the Bellster is eating sushi now. She was eating sushi last time the Plotniks were in Stiletto City too, but now she's learned to use her spoon to get at least one third of her miso soup into her mouth with each spoonful. The other two thirds, hey.



Every time the Plotniks North come to Stiletto, they end up in Little Tokyo, which is actually expanding into a neighborhood of restaurants, galleries, theaters and new housing, unlike Saint Plotniko's J-Town which has practically disappeared into history. Of course, Stiletto City also has a growing Japanese community. Plot read somewhere that on the entire West Coast, where once hundreds of Japanese communities dotted the landscape in all three states, now there are only two left of any size and commercial viability: Stiletto and Seattle.





If anyone saw 'Dateline' last night, you saw the Plotniks' old friend Chris. What an unbelievable amount of heartbreak this family has gone through, and what a true spirit Chris has remained through it all. Today in the Shmapple, PD and Chris will get together and Plotnik hopes they end up at Pisticci in front of two huge plates of spaghetti and meatballs.
