Sake and sushi

[ladybranwen]

I'm apparently attempting to fill my weekend up with "firsts". Like tonight I went to a Japaneses sushi restaurant and had sushi and sake for the first time ever. I know, I know, I should have had it by now, but I'm from the back woods of nowhere. My first experience at an oriental type restaurant I was very small and I think all I ate was fortune cookies and it made me cry. I'm not sure what I feel about sushi. I mean, I one time watched Carol run to the bathroom after just putting a piece of it in her mouth. And that was about my single experience even watching someone eat it. Truly, I felt like a monkey in a monkey cage at the zoo. They were all watching me to see how I handled my chopsticks and if I made a general fool of myself. Luckily, I have used chopsticks before, so I wasn't totally inept. Sake is good. Yum yum! I should have ordered some of it myself. And the soup and salad was delicious.

Another first, tonight Jen and I are going to see a midnight showing of a movie! Well, it's Monty Python and the Holy Grail so nothing all that exciting. I was pondering how in the world I was going to ever be up in time for church until she reminded me that we have no church tonight. Gives me more time for my paper. So instead of working on my paper between dinner and movie, we went to Quadside to have mozzarella sticks and then came back here to watch some Firefly.

I've been listening to Buffy musical the past two days. It brings back memories of senior year of college, when I really felt that numbness she sang about, and about having friends who didn't care and such. But, that's not why I'm listening to it, it's more because I'm back working with my dead cemetery things again. As, I was working on my senior research cemetery project at the time. The Last 5 Years reminds me of the dead of winter, especially "Still Hurting", but that's because my first memories of listening to it involve driving my car in winter listening to it. It's funny how we attach occasions to our music.

To the movie! Nos da!

Um, how did we not become friends sooner? You like James, musicals, Buffy, Firefly, and Monty Python? ....scary. :-)

I suppose it's because I don't get out that much (or so my entry would imply). We do have good taste, though!

OMG YOU DEPRIVED GIRL.

Sushi will grow on you. Sake is yummy.

But why does it have to come in such large non bite-sized pieces? Sake is indeed yummy. I should chase more down soon!

A *lot* of foods come in large, non bite-sized pieces!

Wait, are there no Asian people where you're from? ;-)

Actually, no. If you were to look at my yearbook, especially for my class, I do believe it was an all-white class. Going into middle-school one of my best friends was some sort of asian (it's been a long time and I never asked), but she moved away when the air base closed. I think there might have been a handful of African-Americans in my school, like no Asians (we did have a Japanese exchange student for one semester), and hardly anything else. I really grew up in a caucasian, french catholic community. Um, we did have lots of redneck type people, though.

It is! Although I'm not sure it was worth the laughs people were giving the very first few credits. Maybe they were just excited to see it on the big screen, though. Thank goodness it is so good, though! Otherwise I might have been tempted to fall asleep.
