....下次穿漏一點....


saints parlayed with the under.  everyone seemed to make this bet.  great bet cuz u woulda won money.  but we make a different kind of bet.  if the colts win, then u gotta find out if the prickly lip is really hereditary.  if the saints win, u gotta stand in front and take a punch from the boyfriend and save my life.   hahaa.  punch to the face!

WHAT A SUPERBOWL SPREAD!!!  ALL HOMEMADE!!

single with no date equals no nice dining. 2 singles with 2 couples can equate to nice dining @ the bar.  good for OCD people who don't like to share.  good for the see saw of vulgar conversation disparity at the table.  good for drivers at one end and beer drinkers at the other end. 

kagaya was awesome!  i haven't had a meal like that in a while.  the moment i got to the small 1000 sq foot restaurant i had a good feeling.  the steam from the hot pots at other tables not only smelled delicious, it smelled acutely clean and delicate.  the slices of meat looked perfect and fresh.  the dining atmosphere was immaculate, not crowded with superfluous decoration, completely functional and rightly spaced for maximum capacity cuz apparently its always packed.  i went to the bathroom to wash my hands before the meal and when a one stall bathroom is spotless with zero smell, zero rust, zero stain, u pretty much know the place is gonna ROCK.  the menu isn't complicated, u just decide what protein u want and everything just ensues.  what i love about japanese cuisine is that every dish is designed with a purpose.  a beginning, middle and end,  it's meticulously constructed to attack ur mouth from the front of the tongue to the back, to hit the roof of ur mouth then allow the juices to follow accordingly.  to let the texture of the bite to complement not just that bite, but the previous bite and the bite afterwards.  it all makes sense and its not meant to be drowned in excess.  ('cept maybe alcohol) hahah.  appetizers change daily.  our broth was not only skimmed of foam but of oil.  congee and udon was a bit much before consciously knowing clubbing was afterwards.  the banana dessert was aweessome!!!

"friggin chinese.  won't break the bank to turn the heat on....let me check under the bed for cash"

haaaa.....
even i make the effort not to interfere in my friends comical onslaught of my sex life because it's just become absolutely hilarious.  and as we've developed poignant metaphors of riding the 456 train..or even the 123.123.123.123.9.123.123.123 trains, this weekend has made even topped the east coast candidates.  it's not even a grenade, it's an iraqi street bomb.  and he's gotta play kim gun mo in the background while i chat with the hurt locker.  hahaa.  we're obviously not making any friends out here.

the night before, after opera we ended up @ hong kong cafe.  where my inner chung came out and ordered the entire menu.  and which during the meal, we asked "come on, lets see a pic of that ex boyfriend" and she laid the groundwork by saying "oh, he's not good looking.  i don't go for looks.  im all about personality."  when the picture got passed to me, i, like normal people, politely held him any comments and passed the phone along.  when the phone got to tiger woods, with zero hesitation he blurted "REALLY??? COME ON" HAAAAA

and to top it all of....we cut the entire line @ the taco truck.

for 93 dollars to little taiwan.  arcadia is now 4th on the top vacation spots.  1. asia 2. vegas 3. miami and 4. arcadia!  for 40 dollars more you get extra leg room.  while in arcadia, its not only that u get great taiwanese food, its that no one around you speaks any english.  u find a way to get a 25 dollar massage by a mainland-er.  meet new people who already know people u know.  find ur way to an asian party.  have ur flight cancelled.  meet a hurt locker (to be explained in a later entry). feel despair.  throw up in the morning.  find a place that sells guns and gives out tax rebates.  is 1.4 miles to the nearest in and out. cut the entire line @ the taco truck.  and get lost on your way to pasadena, which being 3 miles away, took us an hour.  even with gps, we ended up at 1. universal city then 2. in front of the rose bowl...
