its britney, bitch.

tanpopo!

I've decided that Tanpopo is my new favorite place for ramen. Iroha has good broth, but soggy-ish noodles. Zaru (?) has great noodles with not-so-great broth. Tanpopo has both - as well as a huge variety of combinations AND a bright, cheery atmosphere that reminds me of Taiwan.

Nathan and I half-stumbled upon it in our quest for ramen soup tonight (brrrr... its FREEZING today!). Even though I just dropped like $136 at Ranch99 and swore up and down that I would cook more, I'm still glad that I've discovered this gem. Besides, what a great name :-)

mmm... pork chops

I had a hankering for pork chops today, so I dragged n16 out to Chow with me.

You know how sometimes you have a craving, and you find something that's not quite perfect, but does the job? Chow's pork chops were perfection. Not too dry at all, great smoky flavor - for the bargain price of $13.95 for two! So its really like $7 a meal. (Yeah, my Chinese came out there.)

On a less happy note, my TMJ came back with a vengeance this weekend. Its finally calmed down some, but I had to put in an emergency call to Corey. Luckily, I found out that acupuncture is finally covered by insurance, so I can start going back to see Michelle soon.

apologies to my ex-roommates

I don't know if my neighbor is having really good sex (loudly) or watching a lot of porn (loudly), but apparently she's having a lot of fun (loudly). Tonight's the second time that the screaming and moaning actually woke me up from a dead sleep.

Actually, I'm starting to wonder if she just got a new vibrator or something. I don't hear a peep of a partner.
