Tonight Dan and I went to DC~
First off, we drove there. Which, i liked better than metro. Just because i didnt have to pay, but this way, we were in more control of our… fate or whatever.
We went to Spices.
Last time that i went, i got some really good Sushi, Osaka and Hawai’ian roll. This time, Dan Gets hot and sour soup
he let me try some. surprising, that all of the possibly millions of times that i have eaten chinese food, and watching other people eat hot and sour soup, i have always stuck to the staple, safe old, won ton. dan let me try some of his soup (i know, i keep saying that), and i liked it. it wasnt as sour as i thought it was going to be.
since he was getting soup, i decided to get sushi, the exact equivalent price though. i couldn’t decide between the barbeque eel or the tuna w/ avacado. with dan’s help, i picked the tuna with avacado. for some reason, i thought that it was the other (the eel) and said : this cucumber is really soft. and dan’s all like.. thats not cucumber…. “oh yeah~”. regardless, it was WONDERFUL. i didnt want to eat too much because i figured i would get a lot of food w/ my meal. that had given us like 6 or 8 peices, which i thought was a lot, but i guess it isn’t.
i dont want to keep getting the same thing, so i get the Tamarind Chicken.
I was suprised when i got it because it looks kind of like Adobo (filipino food). the sauce was really watery, and there were tomatoes, which i enjoyed the flavour, but not the consistency. there were pineapple with the spicy sauce, and it was weird, but really good. i got dan to try some of it (only later finding out that he doesnt like pineapples!!). the chicken had a weird texture, but i still ate it.
Dan got the General Tao Shrimp, though i thought he was going to get the Hor Fun Noodles, but i think he wanted something that he knew what it was and stuff. his tasted really good as well. See, when i went to Spices w/ Sae Min, the General Tao’s chicken was bad, so i thought that this would be bad, but it wasnt. maybe it was just the chef that day cause my tofu thing wasnt as good either.
then we were done, and decided to go to the showing of shark tale @ the uptown theatre, across the street. the movie was @ 940, but i wanted dan to buy the tickets before that, in case they sold out (im paranoid about that now~) we went to strabucks for like five seconds, then back to the car to get my glasses and drop off my purse. then we went in this video store (which was kinda creepy) and looked at their massive foreign video selection.
i didnt realize that the theatre was huge, and was all two levels and such. naturally, we sit on the top level, and the screens all huge and cool and stuff. i see this person sitting in front of me with this condensing cup of some beverage and i get all thirsty looking at the bubbles inside the straw. its calling to me! so i tell dan im thirsty, have wanting a drink, and half not. i AM thirsty, but i dont want dan to buy me a drink and go get it, and i just feel bad about the whole thing. but he somehow wrestles out of my grip (pulling him down to the chair) and he goes and gets him a lemonade.
rewarded with a kiss ~* of course.
the movie, was okay. only because i was with dan. it was the typical cliche movie, that in ten years wont make sense, trying to be a finding nemo (which was TIMELESS). there were some funny parts, like the crazy hermit crab and the shrimps all telling their sad stories, and all and all it was a b-side movie. it was okay.
on the way home, there was tons of traffic cause wisconsin was closed because the IMF was there and there was a high terrorist alert or so i find out the next day.
p.s. me and dan matched! and spices changed their chopsticks, or else me and dan would have stolen them.
wanted
sick
