Hold the intestines and frogs, please
Jun. 1st, 2004 09:52 amFirst, thanks for all the private & public birthday wishes! LJ is good for that.
I got an even larger number of birthday greetings from sites where I put up personal ads years ago. I've never gotten that many birthday emails from those sites in the past. Guess their numbers keep rising.
On Saturday, I met up with Steve for dinner in Little Saigon with his friends Ann & Luis. I didn't even know that SF had a "Little Saigon." (We were at Larkin, around Eddy Street.) The restaurant that Steve had originally picked was out-of-business, so they found another Vietnamese restaurant that specializes in seafood. Turns out that Luis is ultra-picky, and won't eat seafood in an Asian restaurant. He had pork (but was careful not to order one of the three "pork intestine" dishes on the menu). The menu was quite diverse with a couple different ways to order frog. We stuck to familiar prawns, scallops, and chicken. The portions were huge, and we brought half of it home.
Then we went to see "The End" at the New Conservatory Theatre. In the lobby, we ran into friends who were either seeing "Dirty Blondes" or "Southern Baptist Sissies." Our show was a musical revue with lyrics by George Furth and music by some-name-that-escapes-me. The first few songs were a good start, but it became quite trite after that. The audience stopped applauding after awhile. It had its moments, but needs a lot of work. It's still being workshopped, so we'll see if they're able to tweak it to make it better.
Sunday was chronicled in another entry. Monday was spent nursing hangovers. A bright spot was running into![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
xlgmeat when we went out for lunch. Dinner was Vietnamese leftovers, followed by a game of Scrabble. Ann had taped all the episodes of this past Survivor season. We had only seen the first episode. We watched three episodes, then off to bed.
