Daily Update

Last night a bunch of us went out to eat at The Counter. Its a fancy Hamburger joint over in Santa Monica. Not as good as Crown Burger, but entertaining none the less. There were 8 of us so it took a bit longer than expected. After I was done stuffing myself with a massive double handful of cheesy, pineapply, avocadoie, juicy burger I followed Kristen's and Emily's inspiration of partaking of a 'Birthday cake Shake'. It was delightful to the taste, and even inspirational to the mind. It indeed reminded me of birthday cake! The burgers were indeed good to eat. It satisfied a tremendous burger craving that I had. Not to mention the appetizer of greasy fried onion slivers, as well as 'sweet potato fries'. They were only 'ok', but Jeff and Ryan were stuffing them down as if they were going out of style. We were funny, because of our numbers we kept asking for more and more stuff. The second we sat down, we all handed the waitress our 'Burger Checklists' showing her our orders, and Jeff added that 'we had to wait 30 extra minutes from when we got there', and 'How dare they do such a thing', 'How can they stay in business doing that to good customers like us?'. But going back to the burgers, one thing they do that I don't particularly love is how they arrange them on the plate. They are displayed very well, but they are all heaped up into a tower formation. This makes it difficult to eat, as the human mouth isn't always made for such shapes. (unlike Joe's mouth, he can dislocate his jaw like a snake and lower his jaw another few inches and fit even more food in.) So in order to properly eat such a burger, you have to smash it down into a baseball/softball size and then strategically chomp away at the edges.

After our eating festival we all dispersed. It was late and everyone was tired, so I dropped them all off. I brought my brother back to my place to show him my exquisite display of a Gingerbread Castle. While showing it off, I noticed that all of the trees appeared as if they had exploded again. So I had to fix them, and I will have to do so until I get it photographed. After many Ohhhh's and Ahhhh's I then forced joe to watch the 3-4 highlighted people from American Idol that I mentioned yesterday. It was great all over again. He was in shock, and I was happy that I could prove to someone that I wasn't just fibbing again. 100% truth comes from these here 'digital lips'.

I then brought Joe back to his hotel. Getting there on the way back was much easier. The Freeways are almost always clearer at night. On my way downtown earlier, to pick him up, it got hectic with all the other cars in the street, so there were a few blocks where i elected to see if the sidewalk would be any quicker. It was at first, but then all the people and shopping carts and newspaper stands got in my way, so I had to switch back to the streets.

Lunch was sponsored by Jamba Juice.

I'm listening to the phone ring and ring and ring. I even had to answer it twice.
