Outside the box
<music style="documentary" />Last night... Dan Short broke the misconceptions of family, friends and those who only partly knew him. That's right people... Dan ate <drum roll>sushi</drum roll>. Not only did he eat Sushi, reports are he liked it. Eating raw Tuna didn't seem to bother him much, although he did avoid the slimy sea urchin (that's just gross). A bit of Gyoza and some Teriyaki and hot sake finished the meal, and he was happy. Where will he go next... Hopefully his parents will continue to speak to him, even if they do use a mediator...
The simple things...
Why is this game so addictive? It's so deceptively simple, yet so very frustrating :). My high score is 2208, although I average about 900 now :)
What amazes me is how addictive these simple games are. I just bought and XBox disc called Namco Museum that includes stuff like Pac-Man, Ms. PacMan, DigDug and Galaga (I love Galaga). The funny thing is I love playing these as much as I do Halo, which is the epitome of high action computer graphics. Too bad I don't have an atari with the Pong paddles any more ;)
JK's doing better...
Got word from JK's mom that he's now in a private room and the doctors think that all of his liver damage can be reversed, so keep those fingers crossed :)
The Culinary Institute
Kris and I had dinner with our 6 best friends at the Western Culinary Institute last night. That's some delicious stuff I tell you. And luckily, Thursday nights are buffet nights (I always find that funny. Gourmet food buffet style). And to add to that, every Halloween, the Thursday before, they have a Halloween theme buffet. Since Halloween was on a Thursday this time we got the full treatment. It also meant that it wasn't near as crowded.
I told people not to get gifts, but do they listen? Nope... (I don't either, but I had to try). So I got a few new movies (Brotherhood of the Wolf, BeetleJuice [in widescreen :)] and Tomorrow Never Dies), as well as Batman for the XBox and some Monkey Soap (don't ask me... I have weird friends).
All in all, another good night. Got my mind off of writing and got to have some wonderful food and wine with friends.
