to summarize. i pulled a major peter gibbons over the weekend. i did nothing, and it was great. but then monday rolls by and dora decides to throw one last bbq before she heads off to the big red motherland for i dont know how long. we strolled thru chinatown beforehand to grab some fancy-pants ingredients for the bbq\u2026scallops, shrimp, squid, etc. the scallops and shrimp got grilled nicely. but the squid\u2026yea, that kinda exploded its guts out during the grilling process. it wasnt a pleasant site. lets not talk about the squid. it was chill tho, and a nice (potential) last bbq\u2026well, at least on doras roof anyhoo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-paragraph\">the following day was doras going-away drinkies at <i>white rabbit<\/i>. actually, before that was pre-drinks at <i>verlaines<\/i>, which i hadnt been to in years. i think as it was described by a friend, its the place you go to if youre just out of college. psh to that\u2026i still like their drinks. most of <i>white rabbits<\/i> a blur. i think i got trashed. the next day at work definitely wasnt pleasant\u2026yar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-paragraph\"><b>THIS WEEKEND<\/b><br>\u2026and the following week is halfway over\u2026woot. go me. saturday was fun. my parents called me to let me know that one of our relatives was in nyc. my youngest aunts husband (id say uncle, but hes not a blood uncle) was in town for the book convention at the jacob javits. so my parents came in and we all met up for lunch. i took them to <i>kun jip<\/i> for some wholesome korean and got them stuffed on every korean dish i knew. yum. i met up with di that nite too and we caught <i>knocked up<\/i>. har\u2026judd apatow, you rock. the movie was actually a little more serious than i thought itd bother to be, but i was pretty much laughing uncontrollably thru 75% of the movie. good stuff. we grabbed ramen from <i>rai rai ken<\/i> afterwards\u2026where i stupidly left my little noodle card (i was 2 away from a free bowl of noodles). sad face\u2026=(<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-paragraph\">ooh, and lets even blog a bit about this week so far. since i was on a ramen roll, i met up tuesday with jess for some food after she came out of her god-knows-how-long hibernation. we went to <i>minca ramen factory<\/i> for some local ramen flavor. yeeerm. woot, and this weekend is the <i>big apple bbq festival<\/i> too. woot\u2026a whole week of good eatins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-paragraph\">i have pics from our bbq too still on my d70s. but im too lazy to download them atm. ill do that tomorrow\u2026bleh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MEMORIAL WEEKENDrolling back a few weeks to catch up. hmm, guess all the way back to memorial day weekend. oh thats easy to
