I can't go to bed like I was planning to right now since Marisa's messaging me from Dubai, so I thought I'd multitask instead.
How ironic that after walking 15 minutes to Chinatown and checking out the 2 most popular Chinese restaurants in Manhattan that we end up at the exact same restaurant my parents picked out simply because it shared a name with a restaurant they had considerable "contacts" with back in Vancouver. International Shoe v. State of Washington. (That's my first law school joke, for those who don't get it.) I had this craving for recognizable Chinese food that was more Chinese than noodles and boiled chicken, so I suppose garlic eggplant and sui long bao fit the bill. I'm just impressed that someone actually remembered that I had mentioned the craving at all.
On the home front, roomie and I have settled our differences adequately enough to have hour-long gossip sessions that always go past my bedtime. I'm losing sleep over her newfound aspiration to be a Jewish matchmaker. There's a market here for that service, in any case.
