River ,'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The guy was attending a friend's birthday party there. He introduced us to her and she was very nice and invited us to join her party (which we couldn't because we had movie tickets). Who was this friend? Melanie Mayron! Yes, Melissa from Thirtysomething! I LOVED that show and was all googly inside.
Robin, that's so cool! My little brother had a crush on her when he was 12 or so.
Zen, much ~ma.
Sushi in a restaurant that's so fresh it's not quite dead yet....
Welcome to the Hump. It's fun watching people be served live fish or lobster.
I believe as a customer I shouldn't also have to serve the role of exterminator.

So wait, divesting the sushi of its exoskeleton and/or scales, and applying a very sharp knife to its guts (I don't care what creature it is, I can't imagine it's sanitary to eat anybody's raw guts), is not enough to kill it? I... unless the sushi in question is made out of minnows, I'm unclear on how it can be served as, you know, bite-sized pieces.
(And really, a live minnow ontop of a mound of sushi rice -- now I am having grand fantasies of chasing your dinner all around the table, as it attempts to flop its way free and back into some body of water, possibly your water glass. Cheap entertainment!!)
Noah, K and I are going to see an exhibit at a museum called "Noah's Ark." Is it to thematic to dress him in his onesie that says, "The animals went in two by two?"

My friend who taught English in Japan for a year had a meal with a bunch of businessmen where they served mostly-live food. The "dancing shrimp" (I think it was called) were brought out live and you behead it and shell it and dip it in soy sauce and pop it in your mouth.
And they all watched expectantly to see if she'd do it. So she made the guy next to her deshell the critter, lifted it up to her mouth with the chopsticks, her little soy sauce bowl poised. And even without a head, it twitched and hit her lip and she went "Gah!" and her soy sauce went flying everywhere and there was much merriment and amusement.
They also served a soup with live little fish in it.

His name is Noah - I think it is meant to be!
Ahrg. Went to do laundry and both machines are out of commission. Must go to laundromat now, and I don't wanna.
My dad just called to tell me that my little brother Michael just died.
I've been expecting this call for years. Michael was profoundly retarded and had a life expectancy at birth of 12 years maximum. He would have been 23 in another month. My parents did everything in their power to make sure he was happy, and he was a happy little guy. He was their baby for 23 years. That's a long damn time.
Anyway, I knew it was coming, but I hate it now that it's here.
