<li>malibu grand prix w/ cowerkers: drove 11 laps; my best time: 63.01 secs</li>
<li>dinner w/ cowerkers @ jing jing szechuan n' huanan restaurant in <font color="red">stanf<i>u</i>rd</font> country: some'f my chinese cowerkers were so explicitly, openly <i>un</i>impressed w/ this pretty amerikanised chinese restaurant. however, i had read some decent comments 'bout it b4 in local newspapers, which just goes further to prove the dire, dire, <i>dire</i> need 4 more <i>asian</i> fud critiks, u know? me, i thought the fud was <i>ok</i>, not great. i've definitely had better; but i felt a li'l guilty 4 our group ending up there cos we were choosing btwn pasta pomodoro n' this restaurant, n' i mentioned, "oh, we go to pasta pomodoro all the time." ("we," referring to the beautiful <a href="http://www.realestatesforcharity.com" target="_blank">kaela hwang</a> n' i...) also, i thought others sounded like they wanted chinese fud. neway, yah... university ave in <font color="red">stanf<i>u</i>rd</font> country doesn't really have authentik chinese restaurants, so whadya gonna do, u know?</li>
<li>we ate aisukuriimu @ haagen daz on uni ave. i had a small <font color="red">strawberry</font>.banana yogurt sorbet on a sugar cone. kaela had espresso gelato on a sugar cone.</li>
</ul>
토 (sat)
<ul>
<li>had this rather painfully long apptmnt w/ a financial planner, who i thought could get us into normal mutal funds but then switched gears n' tried to sell us variable term universal life insurance.</li>
<li>went to <font color="blue">berkeley</font>. we picked up some j.box drive.thru on the way: i had 2 monster tacos, n' kaela had the southwest fajita pita. aktually, we were <i>s'pposed</i> to have each other's orders, but kaela wanted to switch.</li>
<li>we walked w/ sooni right into the asuc store, where kaela exchanged a t.shirt i bought her when i went to recruit @ the career fair. the asuc store was fine w/ having sooni there. we walked 'round campus. &nbps; then we went to sweetheart café to get some boba drinks. <img src="journal/graphics/boba.jpg" alt="바보"></li>
<li>futura sed that, if we wanted to have sooni in the store, we'd hafta hold her. i told them we'd shop somewhere else.</li>
<li>we brought sooni right into joy's, n' they were kewl w/ it. joy's is run by korean.amerikans, u know.</li>
<li>we walked sooni right into some soap store on telly.</li>
<li>we brought sooni to the ohlone doggy park in north <font color="blue">berkeley</font></li>
<li>we went to roland's place.</li>
<li>we went to dinner @ barney's burger, where dogfriendly.com sed doggies r welcome. the waiter sed it was kewl if we brought sooni onto the patio, n' we did. after we had dinner w/ roland, betty, n' toby, as we were leaving, the manager or owner sed there'r no dogs 'llowed on the patio. what a jerk! i <i>used</i> to think barney's was kewl, but now that he sed that we should all boycott barney's n' give 'em plenty'f spite, hardship, n' grief! that's just awful.</li>
<li>when we got home, kaela n' i watched 2 episodes'f <a href="http://www.kbs.co.kr/drama/full/" target="_blank"><i>풀 하우스</i></a> / <i>full house</i>.</li>
</ul>
