hodge podge
I've barely been home a week and yet it already feels like i never left...europe? that was all just a dream, right? wasn't i right here all along? So Sad.
Sunny days, sweeping the clouds away...
Just LOOK at that gloriously blue sky!! With the weather so nice, it's tough to come into work and sit in a cube all day. *sigh* It's soooo nice to wake up to such great weather tho. all that blue peeking thru the blinds is at complete odds with my inability to get out of bed. it's finally beginning to feel like spring! yay! :) and it's hard not to feel hopeful, like everyday's gonna be a great day and like something exciting's in the air (even tho i know full well that today's just gonna be another day at the office). But on the bright side, it's tuesday! monday sure flew by fast and we're one day closer to the weekend already! (photo taken today courtesy of SJSU's live camera)
Super Buffet
Went to Super Buffet (saratoga & stevens creek) with the fam on saturday and was impressed by how much seafood there was. i'd heard so many rave reviews (and so had my mom & bro) that we were afraid of being disappointed. plus, my bro was asking how good can it be with a name like that? and have you ever heard of freakonomics? it's a book and there's a part in it about how using certain words in an ad for your house can increase the selling price or decrease it. (for example, "fantastic", "granite", "state-of-the-art", "charming"...which do you think increase and which decrease? answers in the comments) but back to the buffet...there really was a lot of seafood (as advertised)...fried shrimp, clams, mussels, crab legs (i always avoid these tho cuz i'm too lazy and it's so messy to eat =P), some sashimi, limited sushi, and even lobster (you have to line up and you're limited to 2pp). i didn't think i ate that much, but man! was i full afterwards. And for $16.99 weekend dinner price, definitely worth it. But it reminded me how much i really prefer normal restaurants (unless it's indian buffet) cuz i hate stuffing myself...and generally buffet food quality really ain't all that. Overall, not bad tho. I actually have a chance of eating enuf to merit the cost here (authentic chinese thinking)!
In the news!
Check this out! a friend's start-up (crispynews.com) made it into the SF Chronicle. neat!
Europe?
Yes. yes. europe pics. don't worry, i haven't forgotten. (altho, are you sure i was even gone? if it never happened, that would explain why i'm taking so long...but then where was i for that whole time? hrm...) ok ok. it'll be up sometime next week probably. i'll even have some blogs about it since you've been so patient. :)
