Day 102: pizza with mike

May 24, 2009 / / 0 Comments

Last night, after the wedding (which was fun and Asian and a bit confusing) we ate in a cave.

To clarify, there’s a restaurant in Edgewater where the inside is essentially a large cave made of paper mâché. I ate a delicious ice cream sundae called the Samurai, to complement the delicious dinner of Chinese food at the wedding.

Today, we went and saw Mike Birbiglia’s one man show, which was entertaining. In case he gets a Google Alert about this, I found him not the least bit pudgy or awkward. He has a unique comic voice, which I found soothing.

What he did, more than anything else, is make me want to eat pizza. So, we are now eating pizza!

The only thing I didn’t accomplish today was going to the Dube juggling store, which was closed. Oh well, we’ll try again tomorrow.

Day 93: what you don’t want to hear at a buffet

May 15, 2009 / / 0 Comments

One time, Katie and I went to Chinese buffet.  After we walked in the door, we waited for a few minutes and no one seated us.

We started to look around at the buffet itself, to get an idea of what food was there.  Suddenly, a few Chinese people appeared from the back, where the kitchen was, and started shouting at us.  They told us, in no uncertain terms, that they were out of food and to leave.

It was a bizarre experience.  A buffet, out of food?  If you can’t count on a buffet having an unlimited supply of food in this world, what can you count on?

Day 74: sushi boat fracture

April 26, 2009 / / 0 Comments

Today, I ate sushi from a boat, which is a pretty near way to eat sushi.

I also bought Fracture for the 360 at Best Buy on sale for $10. I played it for several hours, and find it to be a fair FPS, although the game teases the player with a solid mechanics and then proceeds to hide them in the background.

We also watched Monsters vs Aliens in 3D. It was pretty funny, although the 3D wasn’t all that special.

Now, I’m going to get some chicken. I like chicken.

Day 38: topics of conversation that chinese people find not at all uncomfortable

March 21, 2009 / / 0 Comments
  • Your weight, especially how you look like you’ve gained some since the last time they’ve seen you
  • How much you spent on purchasing your house/plane tickets/purse
  • The small ways in which their child is not living up to their potential
  • The large and specific ways in which their child is doing things much better and more important that you could ever hope to
  • Your future, especially when you plan to have children
  • How hungry you must be, and how you need to eat more, despite how much weight you seem to have gained
  • Paying a restaurant bill, and how there’s no way they’d let you pay for this meal
  • How much money you make, and certain jobs they’ve heard about where you could make more

We’re off to visit my mom soon. She was doing quite well yesterday, although she seems a bit overzealous in terms of getting off any medical assistance and getting back to normal. She probably won’t be able to return to normal work for a few weeks, even after getting out of the hospital, but she’s such a trooper that I wouldn’t be surprised if she were already worrying about the things she needs to do when she gets back into the office.

We’ll probably grab some lunch on this side of the bridge before we head over. Does anyone have specific NY places we should try to eat at before we leave town?

We’ve got another show tonight that my mom booked for us (a preview of an off-Broadway Hamlet, I believe), so it looks like it’ll be a pretty full day. The big win today would be if my mom can finally get some solid food. She’s been keeping down her jello and chicken broth, so fingers crossed!
