Event: Shot In The Dark

Miss antsymama has a friend who is a freelance fotog for the Houston Press. The Houston Press was having this event called Shot In The Dark where all of their fotogs could display and sell fotos of the concerts that they've worked at. I tagged along with miss antsymama to enjoy the scene but unfortunately, my broke arse could not purchase anything. It's prolly best anyhow considering the amount of junk i already have filling up my house. Big poppa is always saying how different we are but i don't think it's true at all. Cos man, we are both so incredibly JUNKY! Him more so than me. Here are pics from the event. I want to say that right before bed one night, I was looking through these pics and coincidence or not, i had a dream about jay-z and beyonce. So weird.

Birthday: LP

My co-worker neighbor buddy celebrated her birthday in April. I KNOW! So long ago. She had just gotten a new dog and I mentioned to her there was this place in the heights-ish area called Boneyard's that's a bar with a dog run area. She thot it was awesome and decided to have a get together there to celebrate her birthday. I must not love my furry friends as much as she does cos i don't think i would ever work my birthday around them. Haha. I think she had a good time but when you got a bunch of dogs together, you end up spending most of your time watching your dog making sure they don't get into any trouble. I was hoping to take a lot of fotos but there were so many dogs and they were all moving around so fast and it was dark. Didn't quite work out. It was really fun though seeing how dogs interact with each other. I wish i could have brought my dogs but they don't play well with others. Maybe I should have least tried. I'm a bad owner. I feel really bad now. Bad human!

Trippin': Washington D.C. - Baked and Wired

1052 Thomas Jefferson St NW
Washington, DC 20007

I loved staying around the georgetown area. The only downside was that it was a little further away from the national mall and there was no train access. For breakfast one morning, miss flower child and i walked about block to get this really cute coffee shop called Baked and Wired. As we looked at the menu, I asked miss flower child what she wanted to eat. She replied that she wanted to order a 'kee-chee'. I laughed out loud. Silly girl meant meant 'quiche', pronounced 'keesh'. I contemplated being evil and letting her order her 'kee-chee' at the counter just so i could have a good laugh. But i didn't. Haha. The quiche was delish! We came back the next day to eat it again. I forgot what kind we had but i know miss flower child had some ham in hers and i had a veggie one with all sorts of cheese. We took our drinks and food and ate at a table outside to enjoy the brisk d.c. morning.

Restaurant: Yummy Kitchen

9326 Bellaire Blvd
Houston, TX 77036

What's my favorite thing about going to taiwanese restaurants? GREEN ONION PANCAKE! Pita and hummus told big poppa and me about these delicious pork belly buns over at Yummy Kitchen. So we met them over there one evening so that we could give it a try. The pork belly was nice and fatty, just the way i like it. It also came with some cilantro, crushed peanuts, and some pickled cabbage which i wasn't so crazy about. Big poppa and i are not pickled people. Now the next big thing about dining here was that we also tried STINKY TOFU for the first time! NEVER AGAIN. To be honest, it really wasn't as bad as i thot it would be. The tofu is fried and it smells like butt. Yes. As in the hole. Miss hummus prepared me by describing it as tasting like the breath of an old man who is flossing his teeth for the first time in fifty years. She was pretty spot on. It's the after taste as you begin to chew where that unappetizing flavor starts to reveal itself. Man. It's crazy that people actually enjoy this stuff. I ate a second piece just to see if i had acquired the taste for it a little more. I did not. Eck! I doubt i would have had the guts to try it had it not been fried. Green onion pancake and pork dumplings did not disappoint. I would go back to eat everything else but the stinky tofu. And i hope that no one else orders it while we're there cos that smell is just OBNOXIOUS!
