chinese food.

a long time ago, I went to dinner with my family at R&G lounge (this was before my diet got serious, mind you). mom, dad, sister (before she left for mass), my aunt, and me. let me say, it was absolutely delicious. also happens to be one of michael mina's favorite places to go according to google maps.

only complaint is the bitchy maître d’ seen behind the woman in pink (bottom right corner). she wouldn't put us on the waiting list for "call ahead." we weren't asking for special treatment. just to be put at the bottom of the list. she only did it after my sister yelled at her on the phone.

lemon chicken. mongolian beef. (best I ever had.) chicken chow mein. fried noodles. beef fired rice. salt and pepper fish. (I don't eat crab, and apparently the "salt and pepper crab" is why people go...i.e. michael mina, anthony bourdain, etc... so we thought the salt and pepper fish would be a decent substitute. don't know if they're even interchangeable but it was ridiculous. yesss.) crispy chicken. and steamed rice.

as for other things going on in my life: barely studying. the occasional dinner out. going to trader joes. part-time at hillsdale (which is just ok for now. definitely tiring). applying to jobs. sitting at home. contemplating the future. dieting. treadmilling. true blooding. damagesing (soon).

ooh, also found this cool red braided string that my little cousin erin made for me. I'll try to rock it until I get tired of it.

p.s. I haven't been shopping at all lately. no shopping means more to gamble in vegas! (though I want some new shirts and jeans...)
