Well, I'm old as balls, but i'm still feeling pretty young and silly, so who cares! Hooray :D Thanks for all the nice well-wishin', guys; i had an awesome day ^_^ 'Guess these are my last 2 birthdays....before there's a "3" as the header. Maybe, THEN, i'll actually throw a party....in honor of stupid, stupid 3's ;)
Rob, Howie and I went to this new joint that opened up 2 weeks ago right outside our apartment on Los Feliz; Asia. They claim to have invented the whole "Neo-Thai fusion" .....thing. This place is sooooo new that there's not even a proper sign for it out front, 'rather they project their logo onto the wall of the building next-door. 'Still no reviews on opentable or citysearch...so here's my take:
The food's waaaay pricey ( $5 for a cup of green tea; $6 for 2-piece sushi; average entree was $25-35 ), but the service is top-notch and staff is very friendly. I ordered the scallops wrapped in bacon w/their secret "XO" sauce....mmmmm... super, super good!!! Each peice ( 8 total ) was placed atop an individual shell ( see pic ), which made cutting the scallops in half a huge frustration ( teeter-totter effect ). I hate putting too much food in my mouth; i look like a damn hamster XP ....yeah, yeah, "it's cute"... but i feel disgusting :P
OK! So would we eat there again? It's likely, but that's mainly due to the close proximity of this place to our apartment. The food IS excellent, but it's expensive and there are cheaper alternatives just a few miles down the street with similar dishes. The bar: Asia's quieter and better lit than the bar ( BigFoot Lodge ) across the street, if you're just looking for a night of drinks ( average-priced @ $7.00 ) where you can actually hear what your friends are saying.
 Mom, you'll be glad to know i spent my birthday $$ on the most practical thing i could think of. Look what i bought at the Rose Bowl Swap Meet on Sunday.

..........Oh, don't i WISH :P Hahahaa. The vendor was asking $750 for this meaty masterpiece, though i'm positive i could've talked him down a few hundred, at least. (( I can imagine it being a tad inconvenient lugging that fat, fiberglass ass around every week. )) *Sigh* And the one day i'm without my wheelbarrel;...it just wasn't meant to be :P
Garden Gnomes: OUT! : Falling Fat Guy Statue: IN !!!
(( Seriously, though... I haven't gone shopping yet ;) ))
Awesome surprise: check out the new creature Rob got me for our 40-gallon aquarium! :D
He's an Orange Diamond Goby!!
LOOK, LOOK, LOOK HOW CUTE!! ♥♥♥
Ahhhh, i can't stop looking at him!!! Best present everrrrr!!! ^_^ I'd stick my head in there and give him a big kiss if i wasn't so worried about contaminating his delicately-balanced watery home with hair products and moisturizer.
I watched him dig caves all over the tank yesterday. He's a bit shy, and likes to travel under the sand from one side of the tank to the other.
**You can send him fan mail to my address and i'll see that he gets it: sue@suesrock.net
More drawings, as promised: These are some raccoon sketches from my comic-in-progress...
