i am soooooooooooooo tired now. i'm sitting at the window covering eva's shift and i'm so glad i have all the wonders of technology to keep me awake right now. i'm not quite sure why i do this to myself. this meaning staying up till 2AM and waking up 5.5 hours later. i've done this twice this week and i'm, simply put, a hot mess.
i suppose i always think i can get more in a day than i actually can. which causes me to end up flaking right and left when my body decides to tell me that i can't get it all in. so apologies UP FRONT to any and all of my lovely friends that i've ever done that to -- and will likely do to again. (i'm sorry, but seriously, this is an inherent fault that won't be disappearing anytime soon!)
it's not that i appreciate doing this to myself, especially when my eyes slowly start to droop and my perfect posture (LOL) is impossible to maintain (sorry, elisa!). and i have a headache. and my contacts won't go in. (no thanks to kelvin for his granny glasses comment the other day. BRUTAL, i tell you, BRUTAL.) and i'm crabby pants. i hate being crabby pants. (unless i seriously hate you, then i don't really care. AND i can blame it on no sleep!)
OMG. i need a nap so badly. AAAHHHHHHH!!!

chan dara thai & top chef chicago finale
after many many MANY rounds of emailing, lisa (god bless her) successfully rounded up the ladies for a yummy celebratory meal at chan dara thai tonight. lorelle (our resident fashionista) was unable to attend due to a last-minute, all-expenses-paid trip to BARCELONA. yes, i repeat, BARCELONA. her presence was missed, but thankfully, we were able to find a last-minute addition in the form of dr. jenee. who was back from her brazilian paradise to walk the walk at the GSE&IS graduation this weekend. alongside her will be the absolutely amazing dr. kim. who's yet to try on her blueberry garb, but who'll look more fabulous than a cherry on top of a sundae i bet. the rest of this glam dinner party included myself, miss d, and miss jenn (along with muffin, of course). as we like to say (fairly regularly i might add), our table was (as always) the epitome of benetton ads. hot and mod. LOVE IT.
considering that i'd been up till 5 in the morning configuring my new and adorable sony vaio, i was pretty much exhausted ALL day. i felt awful meeting up w/miloni before dinner (awful for her, i mean, considering i was so moody) b/c i was already a complete mess and definitely in no mood to walk around. unfortunately, that's exactly what we ended up doing! and i had no energy (or will) to ask whether we could sit still for a while. hopefully, we'll get to touch base again before she heads to singapore b/c i was a total bore! (i mean, one can't be socially upbeat ALL the time, right? *sigh*)
thankfully, lisa was lovely enough to pick me up from westwood for dinner. and it was absolutely amazing to see all the girls together again. i don't remember the last time we'd all been in one place at the same time. especially what with jenee gallavanting off to brazil and all. (oh, how we miss you!!) to top things off, we all looked super cute (moi especially b/c i needed a pretty little outfit to offset my limited brain function) and were ready for some yummy eats! jenn, de'sha, and i had been to chan dara before for her bachelorette dinner (which was OH SO YUMMY) and all of us had been back at least once already. plus, lisa had actually made the reservation in person when she herself checked out the restaurant several weeks earlier. (i love it when people enjoy my recs!)
we kickstarted the night with two orders of the peking duck rolls (which de'sha and i have been raving about FOREVER) and one order of the shitake shimp. both were delicious, but the duck rolls DEFINITELY deserved a standing ovation. in fact, dr. kim and dr. jenee were quite infatuated with the sauce (which miss d suggested might be a mix of plum and hoisin sauces). aside from jenn (who had a slightly reserved palate b/c of muffin and decided to focus her taste buds on the panang curry w/chicken), the rest of us decided to go in family style with: the pineapple fried rice w/beef, the seafood pad thai, the crispy mango chicken, and the roasted duck (my pick over the spicy pork shop, only b/c i'm in love w/all things duck).
the pineapple fried rice was AMAZING -- totally infused w/tropical flavor. the pineapple wasn't too sweet and the dish was a perfect blend of sweet and savory. seeing as how noodles really aren't my thing, i didn't have too much of the seafood pad thai, though i did notice that it looked very monochromatic on the plate. a big wash of taupe i'd say. thankfully, the flavors were good, though the presentation definitely needed some tweaking. the crispy mango chicken and the roasted duck were both very scrumptious -- well-seasoned, well-cooked, and well-decorated on the plate. the chicken wasn't all gross and breaded (a.k.a. panda express) and the duck was perfectly crispy w/quite a bit of meat (as in, it wasn't all skin). and w/some room left over in our tummies, we decided to end the night on a sweet note, w/some sorbet and creme brulee. i was a bit shocked when they ran out of the coconut cake (especially since we were eating at a super early 6pm). but, in retrospect, it was probably a good thing -- to keep my tummy from ballooning out even further! (and yes, i DO care about my figure!) all in all, the meal was DELICIOUS. and definitely worth paying extra for fancy thai food. i mean, we should all treat ourselves every now and again, right?
before i forget, the highlight of the night was the fact that JULIE ANDREWS was at the table RIGHT next to us. in a white cap and track suit!! OMG. ok ok, breathe breathe....

after i got home, washed up, and prepared myself mentally, i got to watch the top chef finale! thank god i posted a note making sure that no one i knew would even THINK of telling me who won before i got to watch! b/c all i can say is that steph TOTALLY DESERVED THAT!! woohoo! HALLELUJAH! i can't believe lisa even THOUGHT she could beat steph and richard. i mean, she's clearly delusional and should've been off the show many episodes ago. i mean, who enjoys being around negative energy like that? ewww....
before i fall asleep on my computer, let me say that this was the funnest night of girl gab in AGES. and FYI that i think folks need to dish out regularly. not even for the sake of gossip being shocking and juicy. (though that's always a bit of a perk!) but honestly, what you're thinking is what you're thinking. don't feel guilty about it. guilt is a wasted emotion.

literati, rustic canyon & air conditioned supper club
after staying up till 2AM to write a super funny blog entry, i was DEVASTATED when i lost the WHOLE thing. i must admit that this wasn't the first time it's happened, so i really should've been more careful. but seeing as how i'd had the loooooooongest day (what w/taking my uber challenging PT exam at 8:30 in the morning, not eating anything substantial until 2PM, and being out at bachelorette activities ill 1AM), i was soooooooo not having any of this blog entry being erased business. ARGH!!
needless to say, i'm feeling a bit calmer now, but definitely not as excited as i was last night about writing. plus i'm groggy from only 5.5 hours of sleep, seeing as how i'd been up so late. (ARGH!! lingering bitterness. can you tell?)
let's start by saying that my PT exam was TOUGH. not that i'd expected any less, but it was HARD. i wish i could've left saying i aced it, but god knows that wasn't going to happen. the biggest thing was that i was STRESSED OUT. i don't think any of us seriously thought we'd need the whole time. but when the old guy next to me left w/30 minutes on the clock, i started to worry. and that's when most of the second guessing happens. i wish i'd stuck with some of my instinct answers, but then again, when your instinct doesn't read all the answer choices (*sigh*), that's not always the best way to go either. all in all, i think it went OK. but i wished i'd left feeling more confident about it. when you're left counting how many questions you might've gotten wrong and wanting to go through your textbook, that's just not a good sign. at any rate, i'm prepared to re-take the exam in glendale this summer. i'm just not as prepared to dish out another $285!! i mean, that's a whole plane ticket! *sigh* at least i know this will all blow over before the summer's out! or at least i hope so.... AUGH! i wish i could get it out of my head! like eri says, maybe i need hypnosis....
anyways, moving on.... considering that i took the exam on 1/2 a mocha and a biscotti, i was starving by 2PM when i met up w/netta for a late lunch. we decided to head to literati, which i found out later she'd never been to before! i guess mel and i had been talking it up at some point, so i'm glad we settled on going there, especially since i hadn't been in AGES. i decided on the iced tea and the portabello panini w/roasted red peppers on wheat. a PERFECT summer veggie combo. we sat outside in the sun and gabbed about all the nonsense in our lives. of course, we were simultaneously distracted by the nonsense in the street (wilshire & bundy, i believe) where a BARQ's 2-tiered monstrosity sat in the middle of the intersection for a VERY LONG TIME. worse became worst when the idiots on the top tier started squirting stuff from the top windows onto the passing cars below. CAN WE SAY JUVENILE?! i swear i was up in arms and totally ready to call the police. unfortunately, i only had the UCLA PD on speed dial, so i guess that was that. eventually, the bus moved. thankfully, my back was turned, so i wasn't even paying attention after a while. i swear i can't stand idiots. (like the one in my PT class, who shall remain nameless, though anyone who from class who reads this blog should know FULL well who i'm talking about. UGH!) at any rate, back to my food tale. the last thing that i want to mention about literati (beyond the fact that i've never had anything NOT yummy here -- love the double negative) is that the desserts are AMAZING. i was still hungry after i inhaled my lunch, so i ran back in and picked up the chocolate chip banana bread, which i swore to netta that i wouldn't finish, but which inevitably i found room for in my tummy. totally moist and deliciously filling. mmm....
oh! before i forget, literati has an adorable fine dining restaurant in the back of the cafe. i've been and it's delicious. if you go, you MUST order the duck. you MUST.

after getting through several loads of laundry (WOOHOO!) and a quick run (which i SO needed), i was out of the house again for casey's bachelorette activities. after asking me for some recs, casey settled on rustic canyon, which i'd been waiting FOREVER to go to. considering that the plans had been on the calendar for a while, i really should've saved more room in my tummy. thankfully for my wallet, i was still pretty full from lunch and settled on a lighter meal for dinner. btw, considering that we were 30-60 minutes late for dinner (don't even ASK), i found the waitress to be quite helpful and accommodating. unlike the hostess who came off as an uppity sorority girl when she advised us that we needed to be out before the 9PM seating (who didn't even show up on time! if at all!) btw, why does EVERYONE eat so late?? isn't it bad for digestion??
at any rate, the food was DELISH. i chose the sweet corn soup and the baby gem lettuces, both of which were perfectly light and summery. amy and jenny both went for the homemade pastas, which the waitress had warned would be quite small, so they both ordered the soup as well. the waitress was definitely NOT lying about the portions. even though they were quite miniature, the girls definitely enjoyed the flavors and i definitely enjoyed the scent of the bolognese wafting over from amy's plate! since we were in a bit of a rush to get out of there, casey and megan decided to end w/the cookie plate. considering that amy was still hungry, normally i would've gone all out for dessert. but given the state of my tummy and wallet, it was probably a good idea that we stuck with the cookies. there was enough for everyone to have 2 bites, and i decided on the shortbread and the chocolate -- both of which were quite delectable.
even though the food was good, i must admit that i found the menu quite uninteresting. i mean, i must've been impressed by SOMETHING if i'd wanted to go there so badly. but i'm guessing the inconsistency is due to the fact that the menus change over the seasons. granted, any good restaurant should really have menu items that appeal throughout the year. however, i'm willing to give rustic canyon another chance -- provided that i won't be disappointed!

after many attempts to find the address for this place (umm.... i believe some folks were in serious need of blackberry tutorials. i mean, what ever happened to 411?!), we finally located the air conditioned supper club in venice. granted, we COULD'VE gone to the one in SM if i'd actually KNOWN about the one in SM. (of course, i only found out that there when i was googling the website for this blog entry.) thankfully, our little adventure to the venice location was QUITE memorable. aside from casey being decked out in a tiara, a boa, and a "write on me" pink t-shirt, the rest of us were also nicely attired by megan in fluffy boas and blinking bracelets. yes yes, we were QUITE the crew. we spent much of the night going up to random gentlemen to ask whether they'd perform bachelorette-worthy tasks and sign off on casey's shirt. thankfully, we did get SOME dancing in. especially at the end of the night when some really fun tunes came on. my one goal for the night was to get casey and the girls up on stage -- and it was MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, BABY. WOOHOO!! anything to not have to watch the she-man show off his/her non-existent rhythm. ick! to be honest, the club was actually quite fabulous, considering that there was no cover before $10, the music was totally awesome, and only a few of us were randomly groped by disgusting men. (i mean, that's inevitable, right? oh, how i hate that that's true. *sigh* it's just so gross!) plus, casey ended up getting the attention of this really REALLY hot guy. i swear all of us were breathing a little heavy -- single or not!

top chef chicago goes to puerto rico
all i can say right now is: WTF?! lisa gets to stay?! UGH!! oh how i want steph & richard to be the last two standing....
sex and the city - the movie!!
ummm.... what can i say? i was at the midnight show. i paid to see it a second time. i cried over and over. and it was set in my hometown. who CARES what the reviewers think?! i loved it! who couldn't use a little bit of fairy tale romance? *sigh*
thanksgiving in june & taste of the nation
i'll be quick b/c i wanted to make sure to plug these two things before i totally and completely forgot about them! FYI that this was THE most amazing weekend of eating possible. i had my (now) annual thanksgiving in june party (which was almost in june but had to get pushed up b/c of scheduling issues). once again, it was AMAZING. yet another perfectly brined bird (c/o MOI) and lots of deliciousness all around. highlights included: yummy yams c/o jenn, amazing butternut squash soup c/o dani, and a perfectly light cucumber & tomato salad c/o kim. the rest of the food? FABULOUS. *sigh* and a happy half birthday to me!
i rounded out the weekend w/taste of the nation in culver city. i'd been waiting MONTHS for this event (especially after last year when i was full before i got there and dealing w/heatstroke), but i got caught up w/maria at corner bakery for brunch, which put me at the event later than i expected. and considering that i'd forgotten it ended at 4 (and not 5!), a bunch of restaurants were already packing up their stalls by the time i did my second loop! sadness. thankfully, i'd gotten some SERIOUSLY delicious bites in my first loop -- OMG. and honestly, i could barely fit any more food in my tummy, so what the heck am i complaining about? i guess i'd preferred to have had ALL the options available to me, but other than that, i had an amazing time. aside from touching base w/dani & mark really quickly, i saw kirk cameron MC'ing, antonia (c/o top chef) competing, and cat cora (c/o iron chef america) judging! talk about being slightly starstruck!
