yum

i have eaten at 2 really good restaurants so far this weekend already...and it's only saturday! and it's a 3 day weekend! yesterday was wendell's bday so we took him out to the Slanted Door which is a well-known kinda fancy vietnamese place in S.F. i walked there from work which was kinda a long walk but it was really beautiful since it's on the bay. i gave him the new pokemon game "pokemon pearl" for a present. wendell is awesome because he likes the same type of games i do, well he's also awesome because he's hilarious and spazzy. plus he has an awesome name, how many people do you know named wendell? oh yeah, the food was pretty good too... i think it's a little overrated, but the cellophane noodles with crab was my favorite dish.

ok, but the real treat was that tonight i went to this awesome sushi place in the inner sunset called "Koo". i am soooooo pleased that this place is near me, although i might be tempted to spend my entire paycheck there every week. they had this amazing starter dish called "spoonfulls of happyness" which was 2 spoons with monkfish liver, uni, a quail egg, and some other delicious items in there. if that wasn't yummy enough they give you a shot of sake to go with it! i think it was the best uni i've ever had. i'm definately gonna go back there, i probably should take my mom there when she visits.

welp gonna get back to my final fantasy XII. :)

meats & veggies

this year my new years resolution was to "try" to be a vegetarian, well more accurately to stop eating red meat/pork/poultry. i like seafood too much to stop eating that :) i like the taste of meat, but sometimes the thought of it grosses me out. also i have been eating mostly vegetarian for a while now, so i figured that the switch would not be toooo difficult. so far i've been successful but some things have tempted me: english muffin with bacon & egg, serrano ham at Cesar, pepperoni pizza, pork buns (dim sum). so i guess pork has been the hardest for me to give up. i've been eating a lot of cheese sandwiches. today i found out that Hotel Utah has a decent veggie burger. it's not really like a normal burger, i think they put black beans in it or something because it has kind of a mushy texture inside, but it's crispy outside.

Pizza

Right now i am eating my new favorite pizza from Extreme Pizza, the "holy cow" which has fontina, swiss, mozzarella, gorgonzola, roasted walnuts, fresh sage, & tomato sauce. I never thought of putting walnuts on pizza before but man this pizza is the BEST! i wish i had a digital camera so i could take a picture of it for you.... i really should get one of those soon. would make my blog a lot more interesting.

sorry i haven't updated my blog more but i have been super busy with work and preparing to move to S.F. BUT after my move i can get settled and buy a camera and then i will... oh Iron Chef America is on- gotta go! ttyl.

become a millionair!

my WoW characters

i've been playing World of Warcraft since the alpha test in 2004 and i can't believe i still play it and have fun! i started out playing more hardcore and raiding a lot, but these days i mostly solo and occasionally do a 5-man or pvp. i spend most of my gaming time playing WoW, but i still like single player games here and there although it takes me forever to finish them so i don't get to play too many.


Narathe
Level 67 Orc Shaman
Server: The Scryers
Talents: Restoration/Elemental

i made this character to play with some of my friends from my old workplace and also to play Horde which i always liked better than Alliance >_> i guess i would say she is my "main" now.



Rathnait (formerly Huckle)
Level 61 Gnome Mage
Server: Silvermoon
Talents: Arcane/Fire

this is my original character that i raided with for a while (on Bloodhoof server as Huckle), but then i got kind of burnt out on her and switched to the Horde shaman. i moved her to the Silvermoon server when some friends started up a guild there and changed her name because i already had a warrior there named Huckle. i play her once in a while when i need a gnome fix.

Watchlar
Level 46 Draenei Priest
Server: Silvermoon
Talents: Shadow/Discipline

i made this guy when the Burning Crusade came out- draenei look cool and my alliance friends really needed a priest. there's something i like about a big burly dude in robes riding an elephant- i dont know what that says about me :)

haircuts

today i got a haircut. i went back to the same haircutting person i had before, even tho last time she hit me in the mouth with the hair dryer. this time, no accidents. yay!
