waking up
Too effing early. I can't get used to sleeping in this place yet.
Today is going to be pretty busy. Mark's having his Scotch nerding; his sister's also coming up to move into her college apartment, and may or may not be going with me to the all girls party tonight. His parents are coming up tomorrow to help her move in. Mark didn't plan it this way, but I guess things just got decided for him after he decided on his party. Oh well.
Last night we had sushi. I love sushi, but as usual, I didn't finish. I forget how filling the rice is on the sushi rolls. I've pretty much realized that with ethnic cuisines, I don't really branch out much outside of the known quantities I like. At a new Thai restaurant, I will always order pad thai because it's almost impossible to fuck up. I order gnocchi at Italian restaurants because it's my favorite dish. I test Chinese restaurants by ordering the beef chow fun; it's a normal, everyday dish, but when done right and not too greasy or oily, it's the best dish ever - full of flavor and tenderness. My dad used to make it when he worked in the restaurants; he's never been able to replicate it at home because home stoves don't heat up enough to give the same intense flavor.
Things to do today:
Buy groceries.
Make Chocolate Oreo Bars and pack stuff for the clothes swapping tonight.
Organize the mess I've unpacked.
Decide what the actual plan is for tonight.
Tomorrow:
Pick up stuff my sister's place.
Go home, pick up more stuff.
Craving Filipino food. Mmmmm...
