I went to Davis to hang out with Tommy L and Gloria B for their birthday today. Wiggy S and Cin S were at Tommy L’s dinner, so it was cool to catch up with them. I got to meet Yance, Cin S’s boyfriend, who knows a lot of the people I know, but we haven’t met before.
Found out that Davis Sushi Buffet has a better vegetarian menu than most sushi places. When you ask for vegetarian options at other places, they usually only have futomaki, which is some pickled vegetables inside rice with a ring of nori around the whole thing. Some places “experiment” with other vegetables, but the generic maki roll is about all you’ll get anywhere. Davis Sushi has the Vegetable Dragon Roll, the only vegetarian specialty roll I’ve ever had. It’s cucumber and tempura yams inside with avocado and teriyaki sauce on top. Nothing earth-shattering to write home about, but it’s definitely nice to have the option.
Afterwards, I took Gloria B to a potluck with her high school friends. Stepped inside to say hi, and it hit me how out of place I am in Davis now. I think that’s a good thing, but I’m not sure. Sign of maturity, or just regression into further social awkwardness?
Oh, and I got sucked into an episode of Love Of Money 2. So I broke the Week Without TV, and it was only the second day! And for a show like that… what a waste. I’ve got good stuff just sitting on my computer, waiting for next Monday. Hopefully I’ll do better for the rest of the week.
