"'s good"

well due to my spontaneous visit to j last night i was able to grab some of his time today. yes! i just never know what he's doing on sundays. that whole church thing. i miss my waffle church. sniff.

so we hung out, caught a movie (review to follow this musing) and had dinner. ok, we have this system in which we alternate paying for meals. the rule, though, is that the person NOT paying has to pick where to eat. that's nice and fair, right? well tonight was his turn to pay. i say, "hey, i keep hearing about that delta cafe place and you know they supposedly have great catfish" he's all, "i don't want catfish". i'm all, "ok, well i have surprise for you - i'm willing to eat thai food again (another story)". he's all, "that's great!" so i whip out the willamette week's cheap eats guide and i pick thai noon. we get to the place and he's all, "oh my god this is it! THIS IS THE ONE THAI RESTAURANT IN ALL OF PORTLAND THAT I DON'T LIKE". emphasis is mine. i mean, there are about 1000 thai restaurants in portland, seriously! there probably are! so anyway i sigh. i say, "ok , so...." i don't even finish the sentence before he's all, "let me just take you to monsoon". he's been DYING to get me to monsoon - he eats there like at least once a week. the waitress friggin' knew him. that's my boyfriend. lucky for him i'd been there before and find their salad rolls a work of art. i had a yellow shrimp curry that i could've cried over. his pad see you (forgive the spelling, please!) was amazing too. oh, wait, i like reviewing movies, not restaurants. but i am so picking where we eat next time.

tsotsi. listen, there is no need to go into the movie details. this is an excellent movie. by far the best movie i've seen all year. yes, i know it's only april but i'm sure it will remain in that spot for some time. though i hate to say it - there's a reason it won best foreign language oscar this year.(and it's playing at cinemagic, c'mon!) a+
