happy birthday to me
May. 28th, 2009 10:28 amMike brought home flowers yesterday, big red lilies and a bunch that look like daisies and thistles. I like flowers. They seem sort of careless and whimsical. The mail also brought some cards, the cool planet beads from Elise and my copy of Alabaster.
There was much delicious sushi for dinner. I ate salmon, scallops, yellow tail, sea bass, salmon roe, baby octopus and eel. We also ordered a plate of beef bulgogi that came sizzling hot and fragrant. I love eating all the small bowls of various bits that come along with the bulgogi, like the briny crisp salad and the sweet red beans. It was so good. Plus there was the hilarity of a couple sitting behind us who obviously had a Very Serious Discussion occurring during their dinner. At one point the girl began shouting about how the boy gave her the wrong house key and of she didn't trust him, etc, etc. It was a little hard to keep from laughing.
Too stuffed for ice cream, we just got coffee and came home to play Carcassonne. It's my new favorite game and I need to get all the expansions now. Then I played some Viva Pinata before bed. I almost didn't buy Viva, because I waffled on spending $40 on a video game that was just going to be mindless entertainment. But when I took it to the register, it rang up as $8. Apparently they had some promotion going on, but the store clerks admitted they had been too lazy to sticker the games. Score! So I also bought Crazy Taxi, as Mike has never played it. Poking through the clearance shelves, I found a copy of The Black Dahlia by Ellroy. At last I have discovered my early summer reading for lounging about outside.
