I've even raped and killed a mountain panda in the hills of Shaanxi.

It snowed yesterday, and I had to drive home from work in it, as it didn't really stop till 8pm or so. It was slightly scary but quite melted on most of I-90, and by the time I got to I-5 I realized that everyone else was even more scared than I was. I only saw one accident, 3-car on 50th, and my own car only skidded maybe three times. An inch of snow in above-freezing weather and everyone goes crazy, man. Took forever to get home, which was overly annoying. I was probably the fastest driver I saw on I-5.

Today I'm meeting Reg's coworkers at their Xmas party at some schmancy private club, so a bit after I got home (the snowfall was a lot lighter by this time) we drove downtown and paid $2 to park on the street. Good times. I picked up a cute black dress at Macy's, and Reg got a few things for himself. We then went to dinner at Gordon Biersch, a place I'd never been before. I didn't have high expectations so I was impressed. They seem to actually age the beef (or buy it aged at least), and my goat cheese was lovely. Also, there was bacon on my salad, and the apple bread pudding dessert was fantastic.

Then we met up with asiangoddess4 to see American Gangster. This is the second movie I've seen this month about 70s heroin in NYC, but I think this one was better, since it showed a lot more of the bad guys than the good guys. Afterwards it had, as I said, stopped snowing, but it was balls-out freezing so we went home and watched a bunch of No Reservations. Also, Reg bought blue xmas lights and strung them above his computer. It's quite nice there now, with the sofa and space heater.

i was just crossing the street to go to westlake center
waiting for the light to change
about twenty people started to cross, and i was about to cross with them when i saw the light was still green, so I waited
and one woman who didn't get over fast enough
went SMACK and flew a few feet to the ground
the truck that hit her stopped and a pretty young guy got out
i didn't see any blood but I moved fast enough that I wouldn't have to
i think someone said that her head was split open
but there was an ambulance right around the corner
so while I picked up some half-price godiva chocolates they wrapped her up
and when I came back out she was being put on a stretcher

the moral is, don't fuckin' jaywalk

also, HALF PRICE GODIVA CHOCOLATE BUNNIES.
