pearwaldorfThings I have been up to in the past week or so:
Dinner with Cody's boss. We went to this expensive but not-too-snotty churrasceria/rodizio. They come around and give you meat! On a stick! It's like a dim sum restaurant and a steakhouse had babies! It's totally awesome, but not something you should do very often. B, Cody's boss, is an interesting person. He's from Noo Yawk (he doesn't actually have an accent), and has this v. "Lookit me! I'm from Noo Yawk!" attitude, which I find alternately amusing and irritating. He's also a year younger than me, which I really shouldn't bag on him so much for, but he says and does some dumbass things that he would otherwise not say if he were older, I think. *shakes cane* I get the feeling that he doesn't get thwapped enough when he really should, esp. regarding his relationships.
The new job has been rather unremarkable. I'm not used to having so much free reign/benign neglect. I'll figure out something to do, eventually, when I'm not hauling computer equipment around.
Cody and I went to Vancouver and Richmond, BC. We had tasty Singaporean food and delicious Korean hotpot and saw my cousin and aunt and uncle (we're not really biologically related, they're like my third or fourth cousins by marriage). Ah, Canada. The food is better, the people are prettier (srsly, they are. Everybody is some shade of ogleicious brown), and the silly Asian thingymabobs (Totoro cell phone charms, Cowboy Bebop box sets and ohmygod why didn't anybody tell me they made Cowboy Bebop messenger bags?) you can't get in the States are everywhere. And it's closer than Portland is, not counting the border crossing (the Canadians couldn't give a shit what you do up there or bring, but the Americans have gotten so much creepier since the last time I crossed back). Fear not Canuckistanis, I will be back soon.
(I am, however, deeply freaked out that the loonie and the dollar are about equal. That's when you know the U.S. economy is in the shitter.)
