Meet the Fockers

Oct 11, 2005 01:11

It's been two years, I think, since my parents visited me in L.A. They'd never seen my place in Santa Monica, the neighborhood I've haunted for the last year and a half, my bars, my restaurants and coffeeshops ( Read more... )

dude, has it all been so totally peaches and cream with her? if so, you are incredibly lucky.

Of course we have our ups and downs, but I can say with total honesty they're mostly ups. :D But I do admit I'm very lucky -- the trick is to never forget that, I think. Then you want to work out the "downs" as quickly and earnestly as possible.

Noodles, comin' right up!

We need to steal Max's fried chicken recipe so we can make it at home. You've been going there lots lately. They probably know you by now, huh?

Hey, it's a big menu -- we have to try everything, right? :D

Their crispy pata is pretty darned good too -- mmmm. Masarap. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!

Seeing your parents 4 times a year isn't so bad.. trying seeing them every 2 weeks... they get..... annoying...... especially when all they do is ask if you have a girlfriend yet, why not, why did you have to let the last one go, and to hurry up or you're going to miss the boat....

Yeesh.....

I'll swap visitation schedules with you anyday...

Yeah, a couple of years ago, I thought about moving home for a while, to save money. But I know I could never do it. No matter how much I love them, they know how to push all my buttons (or, as Bill Cosby once said, they installed all my buttons!).

Actually, that's not fair, they never try to push them -- they just are difficult presences for me to have so close for too long, because it makes feel like a kid again! :D
