A few random Fri-Night thoughts...

There was an anti-Asian American incident at Princeton University this week and I just have to say that this is another reason that I can't stand Princeton. Other people have already articulated how I basically feel about this issue, so I won't waste time repeating my thoughts.

(In case you're interested in learning more about what happened, though: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/23/education/23princeton.html?_r=2&oref=slogin&oref=slogin.)

I had to organize this happy hour for work today and I'm realizing a strange fear I have of nobody showing up.

I was telling these coworkers about how at my kindergarten birthday party, nobody showed up-- but looking back, I don't think I've even had a birthday party when I was young. =P

Also, I tried Nobu's this week and the food was terrific! (I took Tuesday off from work to fight a ticket in Manhattan's traffic court, won the case, and went to Nobu for a Restaurant Week Lunch). The rock shrimp appetizer was scrumptious, the beef teriyaki entree was quite tastey and I loved the dessert--spice cake with milk chocolate custard, bittersweet chocolate syrup and currants.

To all New Yorkers out there: TAKE ADVANTAGE OF RESTAURANT WEEK!!

Oh, and girls are insano: http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/europe/01/25/belgium.skydiver.ap/.
