Had one of my all-time favorite people over last night - Mr. Dave. So fun.
Excerpt from the evening:

Dave: What is she, asian and black?
Me: No, she looks Filipina…
Dave: So.. asian and Mexican?
*followed by loud slapping noises*

1am and I just got home from the office.  Or, skidded home I should really say, because the roads outside are a sheet of ice..  Toyko Drift ain’t got nuthin on me.

I’m procrastinating from cleaning at the moment by writing in my journal and my blog, and contemplating what I should eat for lunch tomorrow… eventually I’ll have to clean though.  Removal of my Christmas tree this weekend has left my living room looking like Pine Needle Massacre 2007, and tiptoeing gingerly around the piles of needles (so as to not bloody up my feet) is getting tiresome.

Okaay.  I guess I’ll go vaccuum now

My left hand smells and it is really bothering me.

DC Restaurant Week begins!

Had dinner with my lovely ladies at Indebleu last night. Despite the menu reading Indian in every which way, the food was decidedly un-Indian. But it was very good, a great deal for restaurant week at least. I took four pictures of my dessert and none of my lovely ladies. If you ever eat there, ask to be seated in the red room. We weren’t sitting in there, but it looked hella cool. Very red.

Is it ironic that they’d be playing Sleepless in Seattle on tv at 4am?

What is “tiramisu”?
You’ll find out.
Well, what is it?
You’ll see!
Some woman is gonna want me to do it to her and I’m not gonna know what it is!

Hello hello, and happy new year! Had a bloody fantastic holiday break. I’ll get around to pictures some time this century.

Highlights:

• Hosted a Christmas party, featuring a gingerbread house decorating contest. Notable entries were “The G-Spot” (clearly marked), “The House of Gingerbread Horrors” (Santa got stabbed in the eye with a toothpick, and the house was ravaged by giant maneating gingerbread men), and “Thug Life 4EvAr” (home of Shaquanda and her pimp). Winner was Team Choo Choo. Picture to follow. Tasty berry martinis and spiced egg nog fueled the haze of decorating fervor.
• Followup party to kick the leftover ten gallons of egg nog.
• Listening to poor Kevin throw up all night long, the night prior to Christmas Eve.
• The greatest new years steak dinner ever, resulting in a room full of distended bellies of the starving African variety and a collective moan of heppynewyearrrunnnnngh. I busted up the myth that “black tie” and “stretchy” cannot co-exist. It can, my friends. It can.
• Kiran: What are these two round things? Wahahaha…

So my resolutions for 2007…

• Run the Honolulu Marathon in December. Or walk it at least. If I make it, period, it will be a great achievement for me.
• Eat in a healthy and reasonable fashion.
• Pilates my way into a very attractive and bendy form.
• Read at least one book per month, for fun.
• Organize personal website.
• Practice patience and kindness towards everyone.
• Hit 60. You either know what this means or you don’t.
• Get a manicure (<-- this is a last minute addition, while I sit here contemplating the year ahead and the state of my cuticles) :-)

I suppose I should do some work now. Bleh.
