Friday
Double date with my sister and her hubby - we all met up to watch Babel. I was often highly irritated with some of the characters, but strangely enough, I enjoyed the film. You definitely have to suspend your belief because many of the plots just aren't realistic. I think, overall, the point is that people make mistakes, but it's the choices you make afterwards, to either correct the situation or hide from it, that affect your life.
SaturdayI went to a very lame Denim Revolution sample sale with BK in the morning. Bleh. Maybe the women's sales are better, but this men's sale sucked. After that, I ran around trying to put together a fabulous gift for Allen for our 4th anniversary. I had thought all week about what I was going to get him, but never found time to actually go and buy the stuff until Saturday when he was studying and then taking his test. Anyway, I got him a book he's been wanting, State of Denial by Bob Woodward (I know, not very romantic). AND i got him a new digital camera!
After his test we went to a little Thai restaurant that VJJ recommended. The place is very romantic and the food is pretty good. Unfortunately, one of the shrimp starters we ordered came a little undercooked (gross). I took one bite and knew something was wrong. I told Allen NOT TO EAT IT but he put the whole shrimp in his mouth anyway. I told him TAKE IT OUT OF YOUR MOUTH, but he started chewing anyway. Then the server came and concurred that it was not supposed to be half raw. Then he regretted his disobedience and kept mentioning the "rotten shrimp" in his belly. One other, much more hilarious "thing" happened at this lovely restaurant, but I won't get in to it here on the blogosphere. You'll have to come see me for details.
Sunday
Allen and I went to watch Borat with everyone else in the country. The movie was alright. If you're familiar with Borat you won't be shocked or surprised with anything he says or does. The plot is very thin and there are actors involved as well as unsuspecting Americans. Maybe it was a little overhyped, seeing as it's been getting four stars and raving reviews. If you've ever watched The Ali G Show, you won't see anything new in Borat.

I HOPE THIS POST GOES UP!
I was saying, Jen, that I apologize on behalf of my favorite restaurant for the raw shrimp episode. That was VERY BAD of them, and I am giving them the Jenny Wag-O-The-Finger. I love that restaurant and apparently someone else does too! Haha. I think I should have my 30th bday celeb there, to add to another chapter in the Chronicles Of Naraya. What do you think? It'll be perfect! There will be NO RAW SHRIMP on the menu. Promise
Dearest Jen and Allen,
I wanted to thank you for having your anniversary dinner at what remains to be my favorite restaurant, rotten shrimp or not. Who knew that when you set that date as your anniversary -- it would play right into my life? Isn't it strange how these things work out? Sting, my favorite music artist ever, calls it "synchronicity." Others call it uncanny coincidence. I call it a blessing! You were part of the blessing that gave me clarity when I needed it most. Now, my feelings have changed -- I can move on, be friends, etc. etc. All I know is I left the baggage on the airport carousel. (Huh?) I meant I'm not hung up on this thing anymore. You guys should ALWAYS have anniversaries. Who knows what will happen to ME on your anniversary next year? :)
Love,
J.
