Oh weekend, you're so close...

[sarea]

Supposedly it is going to be 70°F this weekend ... oh please let it be so. I am a fan of warm weather. I don't mind autumn, but honestly if it were summer year round, I'd like it just fine (I am from southern Cali after all). The cold is inevitable here, so as much as it can be delayed, I'm all for delaying it. Also I hope it's warm in Santa Cruz when I'm there in 3 weeks!

This is good because this weekend I am going to my cousin's for half a box of those delicious nectarines that I waxed poetic about on my food blog. We tried to get some last weekend, but they didn't have anymore boxes of seconds (and we didn't want to get a box of firsts, which are $4/lb). They said they'd reserve a box of seconds for us this weekend, woot.

AND tomorrow night corianderstem is coming over for some Wii fun and Lambrusco consumption. I'm not a big wine drinker (like many Asians, I am deficient in the ALDH enzyme, which breaks down alcohol in the body), but this one is supposed to be sweet, which is promising. Also my cousin (who's a doctor, so this isn't some urban legend) says that I can take an antacid like Pepcid AC, 30-60 minutes before my first drink and it will enable me to consume a moderate amount of alcohol without getting the symptoms of an allergic reaction. Maybe I'll give it a shot and see if it works.

Anyway, I'm also making chili! It's been so long since I cooked for anyone other than myself (with the exception of baking bread) that I'm really looking forward to it. Plus if we tire of the Wii early, we have the Sex & the City movie, yay!

The one thing I haven't figured out yet is what I'm going to do with Talis.

Honest to God, I learned about most Asians lacking that enzyme from a Tom Clancy novel.

Eat a stick of butter before you drink! It'll coat your stomach and you'll be able to handle to the alcohol better. That's what I've heard anyways. Of course, your cholesterol will go even more through the roof, but it's a small price to pay!

Eat a stick of butter! Oh man, my stomach hurts just thinking about that.

J, what do you mean about Talis? I like doggies! Do you think he'll be irritating while we're Wii-ing or something?

Oh I know you like doggies and he's unlikely to be a pest while we're playing Wii, but it's that initial stage of getting to know you where things are iffy. He can be quite annoying with the barking and aggressiveness. But it's probably for the best, once he's used to you he'll be fine, whereas if I lock him in a room he's liable to bark all night.

I think that's actually how it works. You're so sick from eating a stick of butter in one go that you never get around to leaving your home to go out and drink.

Not one place did I read that -- you just wanted to see me eat a stick of butter, you biatch!

OMG your icon ... is the movie out yet?? And more importantly, am I able to see it somehow??

Man, the butter thing is a old drinking trick! Who else do you trust about old drinking tricks? WHO?

Dude, I already sent you a recap of it a billion years ago! It's all T/T draaaaaaama. Soujiro and Yuki have, like, 3 seconds together in it.

This has some cam versions of the movie but they're not dubbed but who needs that anyway!

Also, Ariel and Joe have a new series coming out! And she's not dumb as a post!

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!! They're doing another series together?! What's it about?

WTF I don't remember a recap for the HYD movie. Either you're on crack or Gmail failed somehow. Hmm, which of the two is more likely...

I remember the trailer and that's about it!

SIGH @ U. I will find it.

It's called Love or Bread. Apparently they're both poor or something? Here's some stuff on it.

Also, great description for a series, or greatest description for a series?
