I ORDERED AND ATE FISH !!
had a "first" a week or two back while out to dinner with some friends. while reading the menu, it appeared that the best thing for my tastebuds was the fish. the other items were really fancy schmancy or came with something like mushrooms (which i dislike even more than fish).
so, to my surprise, i did the unthinkable and actually ordered the fish. it was grouper if i'm not mistaken, the kind that has ZERO fishy taste. and i MEAN zero too. believe me, i was looking for it too because it has been the cornerstone of my argument for all these years...that and the joke about me not liking fish because i pee in the ocean. i jest - that is just silly. anyways, i'd order it and eat it again in a second.
oddly enough, while walking down cuba street afterwards, i felt all grown up - like i had suddenly matured in the time it took to eat one wedge of fish. it was a weird feeling that i can still recall. i remember saying it to the friends i was with too.
aside from the fish story, other items of interest find me enrolling in an intermediate Spanish class which is being taught by my friend Jess (who is going to appear in a film toward the end of the year with Germaine from "Flight of the Conchords" - look it up, i'm being lazy. i'll throw up a post when the film comes out because i don't know the name of it as yet).
additionally, just today i found out that a co-worker's brother was selected as part of the European Team for this new MTV reality show that appears to be ramping up. here are some links to the thing:
http://www.mtvengineroom.comhttp://blog.mtvengineroom.com/as i understand it, there are four people per team and the winning team stands to take home a cool 400 thousand dollars. if any of you watch TV out there, keep me posted...it sounds interesting.
and a link to
Matthew's site - i still need to check that out actually.
stay tuned for the next post where i share with you info that proves (or at least thats what Einstein says) that i am part of the more intelligent 2% of the population.
hope you're all well ... well, except for you.
