ÀÏ¿äÀÏ ¹ã 950p: 2day was the beautiful kaela hwang's n' my 40th wedding monthversary. last nite, i took her out to dinner @ sunnyvale's famous tarragon restaurant. that was aktually our 2nd time there. we ended our 40.day fast from land animal meats n' "sugar' (i.e. mostly candy, desserts, n' soda). our 1st bites'f land animal meat aktually happened @ lunch. kaela had me come out w/ her chiropraktic skool friends to lunch @ the rivermark's red robin, where kaela ordered a fried chicken salad, n' me, i ordered a salmon burger. i was in no big rush, u know? i'd told friends @ church that kaela n' i'd try to continue this eating pattern to whate'er extents pratical.
neway, while @ red robin, i started watching the michigan v. ohio state futbol game. after i dropped kaela back off @ her seminar (yah, she was @ "yet 'nother" seminar this wknd!), i drove home n' continued watching that game. i'm usually not this into futbol! seriously! it was weird. then i watch the beginning'f the ever.important cal v. usc game. it started out so well. there was that... what... 88 yard touchdown that cal had off'f usc's fumble that got called off by the ref cos he sed the pass was incomplete in the 1st place, so there couldn't've been a fumble recovery. *sigh* man, i don't think that was rt. the usc reciever... he was totally runnin' w/ the ball b4 he fumbled it! whate'er man... well, kaela came home a li'l after 700p, n' 'twas 0.5time (halftime), n' cal was beatin' usc 9 to 6. however, by the time we left 4 tarragon, usc'd managed to tie the game up @ 9:9. since we were runnin' late, i dropped kaela off @ the restaurant n' parked my subaru. then, as i walked to the restaurant from my parking space, i saw thru the bar's window on a tv screen that usc was winning, that they had just scored a touchdown. *sigh* when i met kaela @ the restaurant, which had the game on in their bar, i discovered that the score was 9:23, n' the game was almost over. *sigh* oh well... that's that. no more rose bowl. whate'er. i'm not into futbol neway.
well, @ tarragon kaela ordered the pot roasted amerikan "kobe" beef short ribs w/ mashed potatoes, which what i had enjoyed last time, n' a spring mix salad; n' i ordered the bistro steak w/ fingerling potatoes n' a cup'f the soup'f the day, which was chicken n' rice. these meals don't sound super.fan¢y; but, really, tarragon's a really nice restaurant. they have live jazz. altho' we were hoping to have dessert there, we had to jam cos we were mtg up w/ our friends elaine n' darrell to watch borat @ the amc mercado @ 1005p.
when we got to the mercado, 'twas ('f course) crowded. i dropped kaela off to buy us our tix (w/ our ¢0$+¢0) vouchers, which 4 pretty good), n' i went to find parking. i met up w/ kaela in front'f the cinema, n' we entered to proceed to theatre 8. we got our seats, n' i called darrell. when they arrived, kaela n' i went out to ben n' jerry's to buy a small cup'f chocolate therapy n' pumpkin cheesecake aisukuriimu. we watched borat. it's ok. it's definitely a good laff, definitely irreverent n' obscene. whate'er it's a good laff, as i sed.
yesterday i went to the sunnyvale skate park, but 2day i didn't. in fakt, i aktually spent a good 'mount'f time @ home this wknd doing housechores. man, originally, i was s'pposed to be on the slopes (or 'least slope)'f boreal, riding their 1 open lift (gunnar's) n' riding rails n' boxes 4 $22. however, not surprsingly, no 1 wanted to go w/ me, so 'twas impossible to justify wasting all that gas. granted, from the pix on their website, it sure does look like there ain't much snow there. also, i thought i'd go $hopping this wknd, but i didn't. mostly, i just did housechores.
2day was the big unstoppable campaign pledge day @ our church grx. kaela n' agreed to pledge a certain amt. i dunno... to us it's 'lot. i think some ppl might think it's not that much... but we're a couple living off'f just my in¢ome, n' kaela's skooling's expen$ive. i dunno how her bizness'll be when she gets out'f skool @ the end'f next yr; but i'm , i guess, betting that it'll be good. *shrug* i guess... i guess i'm just gonna believe that god's gonna take care'f us.
[later] 2nite, kaela n' i ate dinner @ ramen halu. we ate 2 much.
