i guess the podcasts do work. new chinesepod lesson, and the ucsf science cafe. do they even have science cafes? there was one in the village some years back, where people met IN a cafe and discussed science, but is there one that regularly does that?

i can't wait to finally delete all the annoying email in my mailbox, get rid of everything affiliated with school. mail always piles up, and i never bother to read any of them except for the ones that are easy to access but completely useless. example- facebook messages or wall writings.

i'm being told from all over the place to go dating. but my interests in anybody aren't sustained since i get bored. there's no point in asking anyone out if i'm going to get bored during the first date.

i don't like being forced to eat. i like eating just as much/even moreso than the next person, but i prefer to eat when i want to eat and when it's food that i enjoy consuming. sweets are definitely not on the top of the list.

so potrero hill's that far away? hrm.

drew's nice. he's passionate about something. he's much shorter than i imagined him to be. maybe it's because i was sitting down on the couch when he arrived.

rat tail? tennessee? just what are you trying to imply, b-rice? actually, yeah, his hair does tend to tail up. there's this distinct line that forms when his hair grows longer; a line that goes down the middle of the back of his head and punctuates at the end where the rat tail begins. i tried getting rid of that today. i missed a few places. SO SOFT, that hair. maybe i'll just shave drab's head when he's sleeping and make a stuffed animal out of the clippings. place it next to my bunny or the moshi in bed.

drab's attempts at seducing me- i think i'm seduced moreso when he does nothing as opposed to when he actually tries.

hey janey, did your state song rip off "oh, tenenbaum"? "maryland, my maryland" sounds a little too similar to that ill-cherished christmas song.

who wants special brownies? i hope it compensates for all that disgusting chocolate.

new restaurant venture/review: Baba Yega. I forgot, was it supposed to be an italian restaurant? atmosphere- alright. nothing too memorable about the place, except that it was in montrose, so i kept seeing these groups of 30-4o year old muscular guys coming to the restaurant to have dinner together. There weren't enough tables to sit and eat dinner outside. That was a bummer.

The food- I had Old Smokey, Tuna Steak, and Chocolate Mousse. Old Smokey- smoked salmon with bread, capers, tomatoes, cream cheese, and a lemon wedge. The lemon/salmon/cheese/caper combination placed on tender white bread danced across my tongue. very appetizing. 9 dollars for the appetizer, though. Tuna Steak- as the name implies, a huge steak of tuna laid across a bed of linguini tossed in a buttery cream sauce, garnished with tomatoes and steamed broccoli. There was a little too much tuna, the broccoli was overcooked and flavorless just like the linguini. I felt as though I were slurping noodles up and the butter was there to help it slide down my esophagous. 15 dollars. The chocolate mousse- three distinct layers of mousse, whipped cream, and chocolate cake. The cake was too rich but when eaten altogether, the three layers complemented each other very nicely. 4 or 5 dollars.

Overall: 8.0. The service declined towards the end of the meal. Trying new food at a new restaurant was also risky. I tried everyone else's food- sets of burgers, fries, and potato salad- and their side orders were more pleasing to my abdomen. I should also be more careful about choosing seafood orders in Houston. Some places can just do it. Others shouldn't bother trying.

OH. bry-C-b-rice- i need an exhaustive list of all the fish that can be/are best kept cold/frozen, and a list of those kinds that are best eaten right away. a little bird told me that you used to work at a fish market. and by little bird, i mean that jackass clare. nighttime. toodles.
