I said I was going to post more, and here I am not giving a real update for over a month! There were many times when I thought “This would be nice for my blog!” but never actually updated. I am quite lazy. o-o’
It’s been snowing here a lot recently. It’s a bit odd since our snow peak is usually in early January, but we didn’t receive snow this year until January . . . Winter decided to come late! We had a good month long period of time where it would be warm for about three days and then freezing for three. Then the cycle just repeated. It was quite annoying, but the warm days were nice. I like the snow and I like that the thinner air makes it easier for me to breathe, but I can only tolerate Winter for a week or so. I really should stop calling Winter my favorite season, but oddly enough it is even though I hate it so much.
Anywho, I spent the afternoon with my friend since we were both off work tonight. We dropped her friend’s friend off at work, and as we were pulling out a car appeared out of nowhere as we were already backing out and halfway in the street and drove right behind my friend’s car. Since it was snowing so hard, we couldn’t see that well and didn’t know the car was there. We ended up hitting them, however it wasn’t extremely hard. My friend just pulled back in, grabbed the door handle, looked at me, and solemnly said, “Well fuck . . . Here we go again.”
The man got out and started screaming at her. (This isn’t important, but he was wearing just a short sleeve T-shirt and jeans.) After he stopped, she asked him and his passenger if they were alright and if they had called the cops yet. The woman said they were fine, and the man said that he didn’t think the cops were necessary. My friend gave them her phone number and asked if they wanted her insurance information. The man responded with, “No . . . I’ll just turn it into my insurance and that’ll be that.” He then left. We were both confused as to why he said he would turn it in without her information. It was only when her mother suggested the idea that we realized he probably didn’t have insurance. There is only a small spot of chipped paint on my friend’s car, so she isn’t concerned about getting it fixed.
After this sketchy altercation, we went out with her mother for sushi. I got a Red Dragon Roll, and my friend got a Snow Mountain Roll. I also usually get
a Snow Mountain Roll, but I was feeling adventurous today. The Red Dragon Roll has fried shrimp and soft roe wrapped in seaweed and rice with tuna, spicy mayo, and crispy things on top. I have a new goal of trying every sushi that our local sushi restaurant offers. For dessert, we got fried cheesecake! I originally wanted the green tea mochi ice cream, but then my friend asked if I wanted to split a fried cheesecake with her.
The presentation of this place is always wonderful for the sushi, but I’ve never had their desserts before. The plating of the fried cheesecake was so pretty! They cut it in half for us, since we said we were sharing it, and stood the pieces upright like a triangle. The plate also had a chocolate heart around the cheesecake and a dot of some kind of spicy sauce that I don’t know what it was but it was nice. I know the sauces were there for a garnish, but I dipped my cheesecake in them anyway. The chocolate and spicy sauce were very good together, but my friend and her mother both looked at me a little weird.
After we got home from dinner and doing a little shopping, I went to the bathroom as soon as I got to her house. As I was in the bathroom taking my coat off (I don’t know why I didn’t do this before I got to the bathroom), my phone slid right out of my coat pocket and into the toilet. I quickly grabbed it, dripping toilet water all over her dog who likes to sit in the bathroom with people, and ran into her rooms screaming, “I HAVE A PROBLEM!” We used a random pair of pants she had on the floor to dry it off and then went to search for rice. When we couldn’t find the rice we decided to put it in oatmeal. She held out the entire container of oats and told me to shove it in. I was very apprehensive because I didn’t want to shove my toilet phone into food that they might later eat. She informed me that they hadn’t opened it in two years and that the expiration date was quite some time ago, so in the oats the phone went.Her mother then informed us that oats were a bad idea due to the small particles being able to get into every crevice of my phone and get stuck. She found the rice, and, after I dug the oats out of my phone with a toothpick, we ended the toilet phone fiasco.
Today was a lovely day, minus the frigid snow, fender-bender, and phone in toilet, but I have school in the morning (since our new superintendent doesn’t ever call off for snow days even though the roads are super dangerous right now), so I must end my lovely day here. Good night all you wonderful stargazers, and remember to catch the stars before they fall . . .
