guten morgen! :D

leaving for LA this saturdayyy :D so much to take care of before then...

REcap: arigato~ finished training as a waitress but i still dono the menu. prolly cuz i've only been going 2~3 times a week cuz of my schedule (and this week's no better). everyone keeps asking me if it's tough, or, "it's a lot harder than studying isn't it?" i always reply, "it's different." but they still keep at it. it's not easy--there's a lot of elbow grease and pandering--but it's not newtonian physics. i get super hot when i'm running around but that's about it. oOoOh, but last nite i had my first ICKY customer experience. why is it always the korean ones who are the worst?? wut is up with our race?

it was a busy nite and i was helping clear off part of the sushi bar while the customers were waiting for the seats. the korean lady hovers over me while i'm cleaning and starts pointing at all the bits of food left by the last people. well DUH, that's why i'm cleaning the table. and WHILE i'm cleaning and getting to the rest of the table, she sticks her wormy little finger on a noodle and flicks it with this repulsive arrogant look on her face. that's fucking disgusting. and i was fucking getting to it and i purposely avoided it b/c we don't use our cloths for foods and sauce gunk cuz we DO have hygiene standards (we use napkins and toss everything out). i seriously rolled my eyes at her. fucking stuck up bitch. and then, AFTER i finished cleaning it, she had to go over it all herself with a napkin. why even eat out?! she should just stay home and clorox her silverware. that was the first time someone passed my tolerance level there. most people realize when they're being stupid shitheads and stop, but that lady had something up her ass and seemed to like being that way. ok all done bitching. :)

otherwise it's really fun. heh. the waitresses and sushi chefs are super nice, and the kitchen people are entertaining with their spanish/korean/english mishmash communication. still trying to find a way to help with that.......

lynn came and left and will be leaving for korea tomorrow... =( i don't think it's hit me quite yet, but then again, we've been doing the long distance friendship thing for a while now and we never really have trouble picking rite back up. we can just go "wheeeeeeeeeeee" for a whole conversation and have fun. and with all the wonders of technology: blogs, email, skype, aim... i'm betting we'll be up-to-date on each other as ever. i'm just hoping that this trip will be awesome for her and that she'll experience everything she's wishing for. <3<3>

so i FINALLY checked out studio 181 after all those times we talked about it (since JANuary) but never went. i liked it :). mixed crowd and neat layout. but i thought it was a lounge and we were going to lounge, so i dressed warm and kept getting overheated cuz we ended up dancing the whole nite. i was SO happy to be back in the city :D. i luvs that place. i REALLY rEALLAY REALLY want to move there. SO much eye candy ~ the art, the culture, the nature, the structures, the people, TODOS. i think once i establish a little experience waitressing, i'm gonna live up there for a few months, or maybe longer. there's more work up there and more volunteer opportunities and more enrichment stuff. :D

had a luverly brunch with lynn and polly before lynn's flight on saturday. polly gets a 50% discount at the italian restaurant she works at so we got to eat gourmet food at fast food prices :D. the zabbioni (?) there is soooo yummy. it's this fluffy, light pudding stuff with sorbet and rasberries, and hits the spot after a heavy meal. yUmm.

i could keep blabbing about how lynn got her black nano and how it is absolutely gorgeous, or how cute the bunnies in wallace & gromit are, or the global health special i've been following on pbs (which i wrote a fat entry on but LOST >:P), or my first game of texas-holdem on halloween, or the cute things younger guys say and do, but i've blabbed enough and it's time to do some WORK. but before i go..... lookie mai baby :D she's so cute. courtesy of my sister and her photography class:
