Celebration

Saturday night 11 of us went to Yai's on Vermont to celebrate yours truly finally getting his green card. The food was excellent, Jen was a little surprised because the restaurant didn't seem like a good Thai restaurant from the outside, but it was better than a lot of Thai restaurants we had been to. There were too many good dishes to mention, but the standout were the fermented bamboo shoots with tofu, wild boar with eggplant, and cashew tofu. I was happy we came here for my celebration. Thanks again to Dave + Jose for picking out the food for us. 

We decided to hang out some more since Yai's did not serve alcohol or could not BYOB. Jen and Jose and Dave discussed where to go for a while and finally decided on Hop Louie. The traffic going to Chinatown was horrible. There was a bar or club in the midway that everyone wanted to get in and the lanes were slow until we passed that intersection. The parking in Chinatown was a breeze, however. There was no line waiting outside either. We found a big table and sat down comfortably. Jen was my sugar mama tonight. Not only she bought my dinner, she also took care of the drinks for me and Sylvia. Thanks babe! The music was upbeat inside and I was seat dancing lots. Jen brought a Polaroid camera which was a hit with everyone. We took a lot of silly photos and laughed like kids throughout the night. It was a sweet, exciting, relaxing, and wonderful night for me.

Yesterday I forgot to blog. It did cross my mind, but I didn't get to it in the end. It was a very lazy and hot Sunday. I hung around the house, went out to get some groceries, bought a tuna sandwich at Subway (now $5.00 only, yay), took a nap, then it got super hot in the apartment, so I went to TJMaxx to chill down a bit. 

Today I submitted another resume. Finished uploading additional artwork that are "aside from current employment." Almost called my manager "stupid" but was quick enough not to finish the word. Yes, he caught it and has been teasing me about it all day long.
