I really called it. The Parlor. But, I don’t know what it has to do with the Chrysler cars.

Yesterday was my sister’s actual birthday. We took a limo to Ghirardelli Square to eat at the McCormick and Kuleto’s in the Ghirardelli Square. In the car we watched an old childhood favorite of mine, ”Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure”. You know it’s sad when you can remember all of the lines to a Pee-Wee movie…

This place didn’t seem as fancy as the one we went to on Friday; regardless, this time I got half my mom’s lobster and ordered a filet mignon with scalloped potatoes. I did NOT order any Caesar salad tho. However, all of the food was infested with fungi… I am, of course, referring to my arch-nemesis, mushrooms. Mushrooms were everywhere. The restaraunt even tried to hide it underneath a layer of potatos! Try and trick me will ya….

While there I tried another lemon drop. I don’t think the waiter thought I was over 21, cause the drink tasted oddly too much like plain lemonade. I made up for it at dessert when I ordered an apple crisp and a glass of Hennesey XO… The waiter stuttered for a minute when he asked me if I’d prefer a VS or something else. I replied with, ”The XO is fine, thanks.” Well, when the bill came my mom’s eyes grew as she mouthed to me ”TWENTY-NINE DOLLARS?” Hrm… Maybe I should learn to look at the prices before I order drinks that are ”recommended” with the dessert… I guess I made up for the crappy watered down drinks I got with moO…

Sunday was my sister’s family birthday party. We went up to Dublin to my maternal grandparents house. As soon as I got there I stuffed myself with meatballs ’cause I didn’t have much time before my cut-off time where I couldn’t eat before hockey. Yeah, I had hockey that same day. My mom claims I didn’t even tell her about the playoffs… mmmhhhmmmmmm sure… So my short time there, the cousins and the siblings hung out in the ”kids” room playing with the piano and any other stuff we could get our hands on, including throwing an empty Yoplait yogurt cup at each other and have it splatter all over the walls. I couldn’t even stay for food, presents or cake… Basically, I wasn’t there for anything LOL.

Before you ask, someone always does. The baby below is NOT my child. LOL. This is Hayley, my cousin. On the far right holding her, is my sister, Tanya.

It started out a drab yucky Friday when moO and I drove to SF to meet up with her HS chums and their BFs. We walked around Ghirardelli Square, and at the shop moO had a mocha and we both had a chocolate covered strawberry.

We met up with Yuko and Olivia and their BFs at a restaurant that I’m not allowed to disclose almost around the corner from Ghirardelli Square. It was definitely upper class though. I was really craving the lobster, but, duh, do I have the money? Definitely not. I took one look at the menu and asked moO if she wanted to share a plate. Her reply was that it would be too jankie if we did. Later in the night we find out that the couple with the most money and had jobs shared a platter, I then turned to moO with a dirty look like, ”WTF? We could have saved some money and shared a plate.” But, then again, I am a hard person to share anything with. I got the pesto with some noodles which was really good.

But, before dinner, I ordered the Caesar salad that I THOUGHT was safe. I took one bite of my salad and chewed slower and slower, and moO looked at me and knew what I was going to say next. ”It tastes a little fishy…” was my response to the salad. Who knew it would have anchovies in it? Well, I knew that the Caesar dressing is made from Worcestershire Sauce and is made with anchovies too. But, no where on the menu did it list that there were bits of anchovies in the salad. All the other restaurants that I’ve EVER been to had anchovies in it. Then again how many upper class citizens eat at Carrows…

I had 3 drinks that night. I started with a Cosmo (Cranberry Martini), then went to the Adam-standard Lemon Drop. I was disappointed with both of those drinks as they tasted watered down. Olivia agreed, she got an Appletini and it, too, was watered down. I decided for my 3rd and final drink a Midori Sour. It turned out all right. I was just having a bad day with food… Well, at least the chocolate strawberries were good!

Damn, my f’n knee is f’ked up!!! Stupid SuperBlueStuff doesn’t work. Maybe that’s only for soreness, and I have something worse. The thing is my actual knee cap and surrounding area doesn’t hurt. Maybe something deep in my knee is messed up. Damnit! It didn’t hurt yesterday after the game, not until like 10pm did I start feeling it. Well, I have a month to get better for the next season. But, then again, I need time to get on the treadmill before the new season.

OMG, I SO want one of these, pref not the Sparrow. The II is ok. Corbin Motors – Products Since gas is the price it is now, these or E-Cars look really good right now. Now, where do I get ~ $18k? …

Today was our first and last playoff game of the season. Within the first 30 seconds a goal was scored against us. Hrm, not a good start. I managed to break both of my skate laces before the drop of the first puck, so while tieing my skates I managed to miss what happened. I think that was the sh’ttiest biased refed game I’ve ever played. The same guy who skated through me the other game, still skated through me this game like I wasn’t even there. But, the last shift I was on, I got him pretty good. I was trying for a good clip and got real low and push up for a hip check. Imagine the cool flip-checks they do in the Mighty Ducks. But, then as I started to go over our bench he back checks me, but nothing is called. Then one of our guys checks him and he gets called for a 3rd-man-in penalty, which constitutes a ~7 minute penalty and you get kicked out of the game. I served his penalty because after that hit I didn’t have any strength for another shift, and plus I don’t think there was even enough time for another shift for me. However this wasn’t our only ejection. Our captain was ejected in the second period for God know what. The refs were being A-holes and were calling everything wrong. I don’t even know how many penalties were in our favor versus else. Completely unfair calls, sure they were still out playing us, but it might help our moral just a tad if the calls were somewhat fair. Prob not. After our captain was ejected in the second, we went all out, full check, at least without getting caught by the zebras. Bah, were out of the playoffs. But, I hear they’re getting bumped to a higher division, them being undefeated and all. On the upside of hockey, at least we had a chance, the Sharks… That’s another story. Another up? Summer season is around the corner, starts first weekend in April! So to those who didn’t get to see me last weekend, have more chances soon.

Oh, and I never got a chance to apologize to Belle, apparently she was there at my game last week and 1. I didn’t see her in the stands 2. She asked for me after the game and I had already left. Sorry, Belle.

Earlier today, before the weird blackout of several blocks around my house, moO and I watched Enemy of the State. I really enjoy that movie, me being the technophile that I am… (moO told me about that word, I didn’t even know that technophile was a word! I was wrong. Sounds kinda scary, like I should go and f’ck my computer or something. Then again read the Dictionary definition) Anyway, what scared me today was when I was wandering the Wired, like I always do, I wandered myself onto the MapQuest page. I’m no stranger to Mapquest, as I frequently use MapQuest to not actually get to my designation but to get myself lost. This time, I decided to put my address in the map option and clicked ”ariel view.” It gave me these photos:

Can you tell me which house is mine?

Does this scare anyone else? Especially, after watching Enemy of the State, you kind of wonder how much power our government really has, especially at times such as this. Just remember, they’re watching…

Damnit, someone tell me how to play this damn game! LOST

– 3/11/03 12:04 Ok… I Think I figured some of it out. At least the part I’m working on, there’s not much interaction. Just log in and chose a mission. I was like, how the heck am I supposed to buy a computer to do anything with only 500cr and all the computers are like 15,000! Then I looked in my ”Hardware” and I already had stuff there… For now it seems like a waste of time. More or less like Sims Online, how you just run a command then leave the computer; only with Lost, you don’t even need to be online…

Ok, I wandered the Boost Mobile website to steal the cool commercials, and after a few minutes I actually found where they hid them. You’ve probably seen them by now but here they are now.
