Oh dear goodness. I am so glad to be done with my Hum paper. And I seem to be programmed to run on only about 7 hours of sleep now. Huh. Silly internal clock.
So... letsee... yesterday. It got up over 80 here yesterday... which in some ways wasn't all that good while I was biking back and forth (hot!). I finished up my paper around 3:15 or so and turned it in at 3:30. Then everyone (well, about four other people) decided they wanted to go out for dinner. I played a bit of FFX, got my butt kicked by Sin, and then we left at about six for this sushi restaurant downtown. It was the basic normal group of people sans some of the stranger ones and my roomie because her friends came over to visit (three of them but I can't figure out where the other one's sleeping right now... maybe I only imagined her). I could take a paragraph naming all the different foods I tried for the first time yesterday. I think I will. First dangerous idea was "Let's go to a sushi restaurant!" Of course I've never had sushi, and I agree to go. Blah blah. And of course no one explains anything to me so the first thing I try is the freaking wasabi. And not like a little bit of it, either. A nice healthy blob of it on my chopsticks. I was not prepared for that in any way... but at least it's not a lingering kind of hot (like that time I accidentally bit off half of one of those super-hot peppers my dad was growing in the garden. Yeesh!). The sushi itself wasn't bad, but it'd take me some time to get used to. I also had flying fish eggs. Weird. Then for dessert we all had ice cream stuff. I had green tea ice cream. Mmmm. Then we went to Chinatown for bubble tea and pocky. We're going back again later this afternoon because the stores that sell pocky were closed (oh, sadness!). I don't plan to repeat my experience with bubble tea... I've learned that I'm not too terribly fond of tapioca, especially when the people you're with tell you you're supposed to drink it with everything else. Gah! And then when you're halfway done they're like... No... who told you to do that? And of course I've left out all the fun parts of the night, which is in the quotes like "Oh, there's Hooters. Now I know where we are." And walking past the Anti-Cruelty Society and telling the dogs that they were being lied to, basically (there's no better way to explain that one, really). And accusing people of making up their own language, and shouting "I want fugu! Where's my fugu?" (though I'm pretty sure it was constantly pronounced mugu... beats me on whether or not the Simpsons actually had it right). Hehehe.
It's so pretty out today. Yaaay.
