Oh My Leg

I went out for a delicious Thai dinner last night, then to Leon's party at Vics to celebrate a really tough week. My recent irregular sleep pattern, as well as general elation caused my to dance until 4:30 in the morning, at which point I took cab back to my place and went to sleep after scaring myself watching a little of "Mulholland Drive" This morning, I was woken up at 8am by a crippling cramp in my right calf, and I think the surprise of waking up suddenly made it even worse... Today, I'm going out with my Matt and my friend 方达 (Flora, for all y'all non-Chinese readin' folks) to buy some new chinese and foreign DVD's to watch (They're soooo cheap here- I never pay more than 75 cents!) She's on her way over here right now, actually, and she's bringing some delicious 煎饼 (jian bing) with her... Oh lordy, I can almost taste it right now! For all y'all who haven't experienced the jian bing (especially Fort Awesome) I wish I could send you one, It may well be the perfect street food- a huge pancake cooked on a giant griddle with two eggs cracked over the top, then some scallions and meat scattered over that. Then it's flipped over and the various delicious and spicy pastes are applied, and a crispy fried piece of dough is placed in the middle. It's everything the Gordita always wanted to be and so much more. I've got to go rock back and forth catatonically until my breakfast gets here now...
