happy birthday, mom!
OMG WE WENT TO THAI 9 FOR MOM'S BIRTHDAY. I was kind of afraid because I was starving and I don't really like Thai food. So I was really happy they have sushi (technically some of it was sashimi, I'm pretty sure) because I have been craving sushi since FRIGGING JUNE. So I had whitefish, tuna, and kalamari sushi for the first time ever. (Last and only other time I had kalamari was in Spain, in Madrid, in that basement of the tapas place where the Tuna band came to play.) I had shrimp (yum) which I've been craving like crazy, and the California rolls were about a sixth the size of the ones I had in Hawaii--much more manageable and much more delicious. I'm just glad Uncle Steve didn't put the eel on my plate though, I don't think I could have handled that. (Kalamari is kind of pushing it--I'm a texture person.)
Poor gramps, he accidentally ate the whole little pile of wasabi in one go. D: (That reminded me of when we all dared Nick to do it and he would have made like $200 because we were each going to give him $5... but then he decided not to. Probably a wise decision.) I can't tell if gramps was just tired or grandma and grandpa were both tired or the wasabi really roughed him up or what, but he seemed kind of slow tonight. *sigh* That's saddening. =/
OMG so dessert was fried bananas with ice cream (FBI). DELICIOUS. So, holy crap, I must go out for sushi more often. YUM YUM. I love seafood.
Plus, I totally recognized our waiter. I couldn't really place him though. His name was Brendan (or Brandon, I forget) and he is really tall, has both of his ears pierced and has a soul patch. I texted Laura and she thought it was a kind from Carroll from '07... That could be right. It's just weird, maybe because he's so tall, but I could swear he's older than me.
Facebook sleuthing shows me he's definitely not Brandon Lowery. So FUCK, now it's gonna bother me until I friggin figure it out.
