sleepover

i had fun last night <3

SATC

i don’t understand why any girl would want to be compared to Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City. she’s not exactly a great role model… and she’s incredible selfish.

tei tei 2

i had the most delicious dinner with steph tonight. the last time i visited tei tei, I liked it already… but now this second time made me love it more.

we had the:

- marinated sea bass (again)
- “feed me” roll (again – but it’s different every day!)
- agedashi tofu

DELICIOUS! i LOVED my feed me roll this time. they gave me two types, 4 of each. Safe to say that the feed me roll will most likely be around $14-$15 each time. the first roll was salmon, with a slight mayo/cream taste topped off with a torch-cooked peppered/seasoned salmon on top. the second roll was torch-cooked white fish with a dash of fish eggs and very thinly sliced green onion (? not sure actually) for color – the inside was also fish, but i couldn’t tell what it was… i’m a genius, i know… a true foodie…

so delicious. the tofu was placed in a tempura like sauce and stayed crispy. and the sea bass… still good as ever. LOVE this place.

sadly, i did not take pictures.

bored

man, this blog sucks. i suck at maintaining a blog. sorry, this sucks.

sundays

something about sundays always make me extremely lazy. that’s why they invented things like roombas so you can clean, but you don’t have to do anything but push a button that says ‘clean’. it’s like the staples ‘easy’ button… until the roomba gets full of dog hair and you have to clean the cleaner.

this was one of the first pictures i ever posted on my flickr. he looks exactly the same. =)

good night

i just had a great night. garrick, hibiscus, poker, friends, lemon bar, 4 random shots, the fish, stephanie, trinity hall, new people… yay saturday night.

go.2

i stayed at work until 4:15 p.m. yesterday, despite consistent pleads for me to come home “for my own safety” by g since 12 noon. when i drove up into the neighborhood, g was sitting in the garage waiting for me to come home so he can help me pull into the driveway if needed (covered in slush and snow). he had also shoveled the driveway so it would be easier for me to pull in. he also made delicious soup.
