well

so its raining a lot, but i talked about the weather last time, and I don't think it went over very well. THough maybe it went over better then the nothing I said after it before this. I guess that's an option.

Went to Sushi tonight, worked out well, except that I thought it was funny Sapporo beer is labelled in like 10 places saying its imported. I figured that was to avoid confusion with the "American" Japanese beers, like Kirin. (Which is also actually pretty good, so I'm not knocking it). Of course hidden in the edge of the Label is that Sapporo is imported. From Canada. Guelph Ontario to be exact. Oooh, exotic. Stupid marketing. Can't you just admit your beer was from 7 hours away (3 if you managed to fly it over the lake) and not try and make it sound more exotic then your 'competition' from LA? Or whatever other Japanese beers hang out in more mainstream locations. I can't think of any at the moment. I'm sure Chris will chide me for that. The moral is, can't our beer all just get along?

Ok. Enough excitement. Well ok, except for that the last time we went out for vietnamese food (Pho specifically, but I'm too lazy to put the correct letter, so we'll just call it soup). We had a 10 minute discussion on the subtlties of using chopsticks, from a woman who was waiting for takeout. I'm not really sure what the whole point was, but she was very adament about a whole pile of things that we being done wrong. Some which made sense. Otherwise, which don't. The best part, was when she left, the chef and waitress came out and pointed out how weird she was. Regardless, the sushi wasn't a bad time to attempt the new and updated chopsticking technique. I'm not sure it was any better or worse, I think I was just more self conscious. Oh well, maybe that was her goal. She succeeded then. Not to mention succeeding at being weird and not taking hints that utensil advice was not actually wanted or expected.
