I caught Sen destroying the carpet. She was totally red handed (or pawed). I admonished her since I caught her in the act, but seriously, she’s going to get destructive when she gets bored again.
So I did what any good rabbit owner does. Buy more toys and treats for them. While I was shopping, I bought them some nail clippers, too. I can’t seem to cut their toe nails very well with my own toe nail clipper. It was kinda expensive, but hopefully well worth it.
Luke and his girlfriend, Yuka, are in Los Angeles for the week, so some of my friends decided have dinner out with them at La Cabaña in Venice on Friday night. The restaurant had a live mariachi (I think, but there were no horns, just guitars) band that would wander around to different tables to serenade. I ordered a dish that had beef in a mole sauce. It was alright. I thought mole was exclusive to Oaxaca, Mexico, but I was wrong. (Wiki check confirmed this.)
The night before, I had dinner with Luke and Yuka for the first time since they arrived. I gave them a tour of Treyarch, which I don’t think I was a very good host of. I showed them the game that I was working on and such. And of course, I apologized for my messy area. >_<;; For dinner we went to Bossa Nova on Pico in Los Angeles. It was Brazilian food. Very good. We got an appetizer of french fries with blue cheese and another type of cheese. It tasted faintly of apples. Yuka said the same thing.
Luke forgot to bring my toothpaste. I discovered that they sell them in the US now, so I might just order it from Amazon instead. When I requested this from him a few weeks ago, I was very vague about it. I couldn’t remember what it was called and I was intending to research it before he came, but every time I talked with Luke it was when I was going to go to bed. Oh, well!
Luke and Yuka are returning to Japan on tomorrow. They came to Los Angeles for Yuka to take an accounting test. I hope they come again. ^^ Or at least, I hope I get to go to Japan again soon.
Tonight’s dinner was tororo soba with nira natto as a side.
Obviously, dinner is not complete with me messing up somewhere.
Mistake 1. I forgot the spinach. I failed to even think of quail egg.
Mistake 2. Using too much water/menmi.
Mistake 3. Pouring in ALL of the tororo into my soba.
It all made for too much salt, too much food. Although the nira natto was a good portion… if I had less soba/tsuyu.
Ku…ru…shii…. >.<;
One of my friends invited me to check out the rehearsal to Elviss Simmons and the Memphis Strutters today. I thought it’d be a good practice in photography, so off I went to Hollywood. I probably would have done better with a tripod, but the one I have is a pain to set up and put away. It stayed home since it got to play yesterday in Irvine.
Anyway, the group sounded awesome. I definitely can’t wait till their first gig. Spread the word!
Saturday’s mens basketball game had the Anteater Band performing “The Impression That I Get” during the halftime. They sounded very good. I didn’t play. Instead I handled the camcorder. A recording for posterity.
