so tattoo removal....not as completely horrible as i thought it would be but still really sucks nonetheless. it feels similar to getting a tattoo in the sense that it feels like a needle going into your skin, but unlike a tattoo it feels like it's going way deeper and it's less frequent, more like once or twice a second. plus it smells like burnt flesh afterwards. gross. fortunately the nurse injected me with some lydocaine too or else it would've been really unbearable.
alison introduced me to this torta shop in the mission yesterday called la torta gorda which is one of my new favorite spots now. i had a cuban torta which had ham, turkey, hot dog and this stuff called pierna which is like spiced pulled pork. it was fucking amazing. i've been telling everyone i know about it because it rules so hard. and their horchata was fresh made to order so it was all creamy and thick. the tortas were huge! i still have a leftover half i'm going to eat pretty soon here.
