i used too much fish sauce when cooking my dinner. now my apartment smells of something fierce.
its been a fairly quiet couple of weeks, now that works back to normal and im not staring at my work monitors for periods in excess of 12+ hours a day. im slowly resuscitating my dead social life too…tho its gotten incrementally harder as people decide to get married, make babies, and whatnot.
MAY AND JOSIE
the past month saw my two nieces co-birthdays…conveniently sitting in the middle of january between my younger niece josie’s birthday (january 4th), and may’s (february 4th). god i hope those birthdays are right. if they were wrong and my sister saw this post, she’d probably kick me in the dick. before josie was born, may’s birthday would sit right on superbowl weekend. the conflicted look on my brother-in-laws face was always apparent, so the current arrangement works to everyones benefit.
VACATION(S)
im sure i also went out a few times between then and now, but meh…my memory (and calendar) fails me. i blame all the relaxation i partook in this past week…taking off friday and monday for my comp time for all the extra days/hours id worked over the holidays. i did however refinance my mortgage…tho that is painfully uninteresting. i wont even bother with the details. what else…oh right. im in the midst of planning my forthcoming vacation. beijing! thats the plan so far anyway. i just need to get moving on booking things.
i actually get a second vacation as well in the summer…seattle for a friends wedding. i got decidedly lazy and booked the closest hotel to the venue (olympic park). im pretty sure its more posh than i had originally intended to book…
I DID STUFF
hmm, still cant recollect the majority of what id done in the past month. ah well. green hornet was in there somewhere, with sally. that was fun to watch. and last friday we were supposed to try this pulled-noodle place called hung-ry (clever fucks), but the wait ended up being somewhere north of an hour and a half. so with all of us starving and such, we said ‘fuck it’ and headed north instead to menkui-tei, who would never make us wait that long. <3 you menkui-tei. and yesterday i met up with marisol and jess at barrio chino in les for some yum mexican. mexican-ish anyway. i had the pulled lamb and rice, along with a really nice soup that i couldnt recollect for you for the life of me. after having the grilled cornish hen jess ordered tho, hmm…i wish id ordered that instead. so yum…
