How To Have Lunch At Mandarin Wok,
or, Aren't You A Little White To Be Eating That?

Oh...

Oh hell no...

Did I do something...SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO?!

Everybody thinks I'm kidding when I say I go into Chinese restaurants and say "Surprise me."

Today I went to Cravings with [livejournal.com profile] nhyrvana  and told the guy there--who knows my "Don't tell me what it is until I eat it" tendencies--that I was having kinda a down day and that I wanted something that would make me feel better.

He actually wandered around for several minutes, looking at all of the only-in-Chinese food signs hanging on the walls, and eventually did a little "Ah hah!"

This Is What He Gave Me )

I fucking love that place.
And I DO feel better now.
What the hell is going on here?



Hmmmm... )
I was cold:



My car was cold:



But Izumi Noah warmed up:


Also, I had steamed buns, but she did not because she doesn't eat dead meats.
Only sad dead vegetables that just wanted to be with their families and live a simple life.

Catching up on projects, prepping for Mexico, hanging out with friends.

Real content on Monday, prolly.

Tonight = drinking and showing [profile] sarahsam new Doctor Who and then the two of us watching the reissues of Patlabor the Movie and Patlabor the Movie 2--digitally remastered, new 5.1 tracks, retranslated subtitles for better accuracy] back to back.

Will probably also be Chinese food and booze.

Mmm...

So...

Hanging out with friends is always fun.

Chinese food with friends is always fun, especially when there are twenty-five Chinese people having a holiday party in the restaurant, complete with loads of booze and about thirty-five toasts.

Even bad movies can be fun when seen with friends who have a big desire to see the movie.

That having been said...

IF YOU SEE ERAGON, I WILL BREAK YOUR FUCKING KNEES.

This has been a Public Service Announcement on behalf of YOUR FUCKING KNEES.

Sara and I had a fabulous time with [info]city_of_dis, [info]icayrus and [info]porpentine_4 last night.

It was fueled by Chinese food and booze.

We also watched one of my favorite batshit movies of all time.

GOLD-FOIL BUDDHA IS GO!

DRAGON TUMOR DUO, DO YOUR STUFF!

Zounds.

Having paid our mortgage for the month and paid our taxes (DrMaster doesn't take out taxes, so I have to save money during the year to dole out all at once), we splurged with the last of our "available" money and got Chinese food tonight.

With my order of Triple Green Jade came this fortune...

...AND SKANKERS OF THE WORLD DID REJOICE!

I finally sussed this thing out:



ARE YOU FUCKING HAPPY, [livejournal.com profile] jimmahgee?!?!?!

'cause I am. I should have it to you by tomorrow at the latest. :D

Off to a meeting
PS - Thanks, [livejournal.com profile] nhyrvana. :*
The weekend was a weekend, full of weekendy things.

Creatively, it was a total bust. What little time I did have for writing or otherwise was pretty much spent with me staring at the computer or notebook and contemplating stabbies in the eyes with Uniball Precise pens.

Sunday morning was lost to a BrainFuckHeadache.
Saturday night was fun as our sixty-something neighbor came over for dinner and wine and shouting about Republicans and their cronies.

Ugh.

I need to get writing done. I need to write a spec piece for Shonen Jump. I need to work on the [livejournal.com profile] jimmahgee thing. I need to get back to [livejournal.com profile] funranium about some stuff. I need to do more pages of "Last Shot."

My creativity fucked off to Paris, Texas, on Friday and is refusing to come back until I install a fucking bidet.

If nothing else, I WILL finish a flash fiction piece today before 5pm.

At least I have lunch with [livejournal.com profile] nhyrvana to look forward to.

And now, a quote from "[livejournal.com profile] juniperesque de Jew":

"I don't know about y'all, but I don't think Jezus died for my sins - though if he died to bring me Cadbury's Creme Eggs, maybe he and I are a'ight."

So, for now, feed me. Give me something. Music, saliva, fiction, words of hate and spite, boozahol, kung-fu. Anything.

Gimme.

New icon from [livejournal.com profile] aves_ives's book PENG!, a "martial-arts encrusted sports fable." It's where it's at, kids.

Now, a photo dump.

We'll start with the outside of my brother Matthew and his boyfriend Todd's New Year's card, designed by Matthew.

My brain does not work properly. It's a good thing I found these in Chinatown.



Tell me these are not the coolest damn pills ever. I mean, sure, the ingredients are in Latin, which means there are about six ingredients that, instead of saying "seed" say "semen," but hey...

More pictures of Chinatown and Chinese food and more. )

Current Music: LOST on the television
My lunch had bits of stomach and enoki mushromms in it and I am writing a Sir Reginald story, with *two* in the wings. Also have a volume of IRON WOK JAN to edit over the holidays.

Also, two weeks until (fingers crossed) my first published-for-money piece comes out.

Happypants.

Expect several posts tonight.
