Birthday Report
As previously noted, yesterday was the one year anniversery of me turning 21. It also incidentally was my 22nd birthday.
Thai Bistro
A bunch of us went to Thai Bistro for dinner. Kristy and I were late due to the impossibility of finding parking in downtown davis, so we missed Lamar Heystek, but he left a bottle of vodka for me with my friends (dutch vodka of course).
Anyway, I was a bit concerned because both livinsmall and obisan69 had reported unsatisfactory experiences with Thai Bistro (former, latter). The service however was completely adequate and the food delicious. I got this red curry + bamboo shoots + basil + jalepenos dish and it was extremely scrumptious (I think it might have been called "Dai kang?").
Neither Adrian nor Jill had had Thai food before and they both loved it. In addition to the aforementioned, we also had in attendance little Christie, Courtney Caruso (deaconfrost224) , one of my good friends from freshman year who I haven't kept in touch with so much recently, Ben, and of course Kristy.
After eating, we all (minus Courtney) went to Kristy's to partake in her mad skillz at making cake & tiramisu (we had both actually because Kristy is excellent). Then Adrian and Jill suddenly both had to go home around 10pm (::caugh::tomakeout::caugh::) and the rest of us just hung out and talked for a long time.
Kristy got me a flogging molly shirt and a strongsauce belt. ijockherso.

Strongsauce pictures - I found this site the other day while idly plugging things into google and seeing what came up, specifically that one was a result of the word "shipwreck." The first word I tried was "hind" by which I mean the beautiful russian MI-24 helicoptor, and I mention this random tangent because we were watching Firefly today and there was an ambulance shuttle / hovering vehicle / thing that was TOTALLY made from a Hind frame and I was loving it.
