Whatta Weekend III: I Give Up

ok not really.

i just don't have time to write individual posts. work just got super busy and i wanna strike while the iron is hot (read: before this weekend comes) and before i get buried again, so here y'go...

True Tales of Dishwasher Hell: it's still not fixed. what a fucking surprise. a new repair service was called in after the 1st one flaked on us 4 times. the new guy was just as clueless as the last guy. i called Haier Corporate, lodged a formal complaint. that and $2 will get me on the subway.

the Soup is Inside the Dumpling: another trip to "the soup dumpling place" with MS, N'il and their menfolk* (Ivan Turgenev and the General, respectively). the food was, as always, absolutely amazing and completely impossible to quantify on the WW point system. that's fine, 'cuz i starved myself all day in preparation...like a ritual fast...and was rewarded with culinary nirvana.

the Rice (Pudding) Capades: the dumplings were followed by a trip to Rice to Riches, in SoHo, the "31 Flavors" of rice pudding. yes, that's right...rice fucking pudding...and not just your basic "vanilla w/ cinnamon", we're talking amazingly erudite flavors like French Toast, Tiramisu, Marscapone Madness, Rocky Road and Mango. the single serving is enough for 3 people, so save room or a spot in your man-purse, to bring it home for later...OR you could just have a tub of it shipped to you...if you wanted to...

*Diving into Pool With Beaus: i'll get right down to it; i absolutely adore MS's new fella (who will not be referred to as a "boyfriend", because...she said so). he's hunky and sweet and thoughtful and fun to talk to; he listens well and does not appear to be judgemental in the slightest (read: he takes her friends in stride and laughs at their jokes and off-color remarks). oh he's also not a pool shark, which makes him infinitely less threatening; there's nothing worse than a straight guy who flaunts his athletic prowess while on a double/triple date. straight guys intimidate me enough, without the added bonus of feeling inadequate at pool to make me feel worse. the General, though, isn't threatening in the least, despite his incredible height and massively hot shoulders...he's exactly the kinda guy you want around when there are other, more threatening, straight guys around...in case they actually threaten you.

the absolute best part, though, is that when she's not aware of it, the General looks at MS with utter adoration and (don't tell her, love). he's an 11 out of 10 and i couldn't be more excited for her if she brought home Colton Ford's straight twin brother, Eddie.

I can't stop smiling and giggling. This means so much to me - that you like him. I am absolutely thrilled. With everything. Including, but definitely not limited to his big heart and his 'massively hot shoulders.' teehee

Totally in agreement about the General. My observation - the fact that he is so sweet and soft-spoken in contrast to how big he actually is, makes him even more adorable.

31 flavors of rice pudding? Can you take them home for bedroom play later on?
