brain barf… yum!
I should mention that I wore The Shirt to the wonderful dinner at Shamshiri the other night. [Yes, I wore the same shirt two nights in a row. So sue me.]
I was telling J & C how I had stained it with the pen marks. I looked down to show them the stains, but *poof!* they weren’t there.
And then I realized that I had worn the shirt inside-out.
And when I turned the shirt right-side-out in the restroom at the restaurant, *voila!* the stains returned.
[sigh]
On Saturday night, we went out with our friends J & C for dinner at Shamshiri Grill, a Persian restaurant as a belated birthday dinner for my Hunny. The food was very yummy.
No, that is not my car in the picture. I wish.
We headed over to J & C’s place afterwards for some more chit-chat and to have some tea. C went over the list of teas they had… red tea, black tea, green tea, Earl Grey, chamomile, etc, etc.
We settled on regular green tea because we didn’t want anything too complicated and C says:
“Yeah, I don’t know what people are thinking with some of those mixed teas. I once tried one that was supposed to be toffee tea, but it tasted like butt-shavings. Blecch.”
J asked if C had actually tasted butt-shavings, but C said: “No, but evidently they taste like toffee.”
Um, ew!
I don’t care what anyone says. I will never be able to drink toffee tea now. Ever.
Ew.
…but that I actually sent to my landlords.
Yes, I really sent it.
Yes, just like this.
— excerpt from actual e-mail to my landlords —
Subject: FYI (otherwise known as “Things Joz broke this weekend while you were gone”)
Just so you know, the water faucet outside your kitchen door is turned off because the switch to the hose is broken. I found this out today when I tried to clean the driveway and instead was sprayed in the face with a giant stream of water. The pieces to the switch are in the garage on the desk (also with the newly washed tablecloth).
Please don’t try to turn on the water, as you will be sprayed in the face (like I was). Since the girls [dogs Moca and Terra] now cannot drink from the faucet, I put a couple of bowls of water out for them.
The other thing is the string on the garage door got wet in the rain and when I grabbed it, one end either broke or came undone. I don’t know which.
The good news is that I did not break the dogs, so hopefully you will not worry too much the next time you guys leave us alone here. In fact, I had a good time with the girls [again, the dogs Moca & Terra] and there was only one Terra-piddling-accident inside our place, so all was good.
Be glad that Y [my Hunny] is the one who is normally home & not me.
Thanks!
That is all.
Now to pass out and sleep.
Faded black erase marker stain and all…
…then I held my ball-point pen the wrong way and marked all over the same poor shirt with it.
No, not on purpose.
Arrrgh.
This isn’t supposed to be “clever” or “funny.”
Seriously, I dropped a marker and my shirt blocked the fall.
I was given a BRAND NEW shirt and got it stained the second day I had it.
Grrrrr.
Help.
MORE: It was lavender shirt vs. black dry erase marker.
Right now, the score is
Shirt: 0
Marker: 1
And I’ve already tried to spot remove it (tried soap, shampoo, detergent). The stain is a little lighter… but not much. [sigh]
I was chatting with Yvonne and all of a sudden she stopped typing. It turned out she was pulling her son’s tooth…
…Our parents are from Taiwan & were still learning about American culture, so when my brother and I were kids & losing our teeth (boy that was a long time ago), we wanted to get our tooth fairy money.
So, like good kids, we told Mom and Dad about the tooth fairy modus-operandi and we conned them into putting $20-bills under our pillows for each tooth.
Cha-ching!
gingersmack got me goin’ hmmmmmm with this one…
Yvonne was saying how her tits always popping out of her Wonder Bra. Joelle and gingersmack concurred.
Without getting too specific about my personal experiences on this topic, you should know that “Oh, hello, what are you doing out here?” has been heard coming out of my mouth.
My theory is that the whole “Wonder Bra” thing is actually a clever ploy from some guy who wanted to see rogue tits popping out… Market the “wonder bras” to women “enhance their bustlines,” but REALLY design them to push boobs out for the world to see.
Genius! Abso-fucking-lutely genius.
Where does the time go. I can’t remember what I did yesterday & last week seems like a lifetime ago.
I blame Mai Tai Monday.
Can I even remember that far back? It was only a week ago, but I can’t really recall what the heck I did that day. I knew I should have written it down while it was still fresh. Darn.
Let’s see…
I remember that we spent Tuesday night/Wednesday morning in Warrenton (I got up early even though I’d stayed up to an insanely late hour). We headed to downtown Warrenton and drove around the Airlie House. I felt like such an L.A. girl DRIVING everywhere… but it was POURING rain, so I didn’t feel too guilty about all the driving.
We headed back to the city we wanted to see if the cherry blossoms had bloomed. Alas, the one disappointment about the trip was that I was about a week too early to see them.
That night, I think met my friend Ann at Dupont Circle and we had dinner at this awesome Cuban food place near the Capitol. Yummy. 
Pleasant day, despite the rain.
I thought that I’d be able to blog more since I’ve now returned from my trip to Washington DC, but ironically, I am even busier now than I was before/during the trip. Go figure.
Monday night, I went out for drinks at the (famous) Formosa Cafe with a really cool bunch of folks. The photo above is where we were sitting the other night. We didn’t know who were in 90% of the photos on the wall.
The waitress (who’d worked there for 28 years, she said) kept pushin’ their “famous mai tai” on us, so we all went for it. The first two sips were good. At the third sip, you realize that all the alcohol is already gone & all you have is some watered down juice at the bottom of your glass.
Oh well, the good company made it a worthwhile evening out.
Maybe next time, I’ll have to order an x-rated cocktail, instead.
I have nothing to say about it.
