but great food. Ate at Sushi Planet last night. A BYOB with outstanding food, great service, intimate decor and the best company top eat with.
No I'm not turning this into a food blog, but really this place was worth mentioning. I'll have to bring the boyfriend when he comes down again. I had the gyoza, yakitori, a cucumber roll, and a spicy tuna roll and I was stuffed. I think they pickle their own ginger as it was sweet but not too overwhelming.

Weird
I had a very strange dream last night, that someone assasinated the POTUS and...no one cared. The news media didn't even cover it. I need to stop eating exotic things before bed.
For the record I would never wish ill will on the President even though I did not vote for him. Perhaps it was the news that White House security was breached so often, I did fall asleep with CNN on.

Social Networking
Ever reconnect with someone on Facebook only to realize that they are still the same asshole you 'lost touch' with in the first place? Had that happen recently. Ouch, now I can't 'unfriend' I don't have enough FB friends to say 'sorry, too many people to keep touch with' Worse? I can't post this as a status update. Perhaps I can offend them in some small way as to make them unfriend me? Ideas people? Leave them in the comments. Keep in mind these are the type of folks who back in the day would have been the equivalent of today's "hipsters' wearing trucker caps, drinking PBR, all inked with 'ironic' tattoos and thinking they are the coolest people evah. Now of course they are middle aged, with kids who they never stop talking about and act incredibly patronizing to those of us who don't have kids. They drive mini-vans with DVD players, vacation at least once a year in Disney and have to be home by 11 to relieve the babysitter.
I had to unfriend my own aunt, she forwarded an email to my brother and cousin about the miscarriage and other intimate matters I had deliberately not shared with them. I'm thinking about de-friending my brother too. Nice guy but he writes some stuff I'd rather not see, like the fact that some of his former classmates are still 'smokin' hot' after all these years, dude, your WIFE is on FB.
I can't believe I'm related to these people.
Soshul-networking, not such a gud idea akshully. Srsly. Kthnxbai.

City cyclists could face new rules
By Allison Steele
Inquirer Staff Writer
Two Philadelphia city councilmen want bicycle riders to start getting the same treatment as motorists, and today they plan to introduce bills that would require cyclists to get license plates for their bikes and increase fines against bikers who violate traffic laws.
Councilmen Jim Kenney and Frank DiCicco will propose the legislation during a scheduled session, after which hearings on the bills are expected to be set.
"Overall, it's a good thing that so many people are riding bikes," Kenney said yesterday. "And I think it's possible for all of us to share the roads and sidewalks safely, as long as we all respect each other's space."
In a city where people in cars regularly blow through stop signs (they call it the South Philly slide for a reason), park their cars in the middle of Broad St, double park all over the place for the night with nary a ticket given...you want to increase the fine for wearing headphones from $3 to $300? You want to fine fixed gear bikes a grand and have the right to confiscate them? You want us to register our bikes at a cost of $20 a year - so what you can now ticket us for not 'parking' properly, when there is barely any bike parking to begin with
Watch my head explode. I apologize in advance for the lack of grammar and sentence structure.
OMG! WTF? Are they FUCKING Kidding me? I'm not registering my damn bike, you cannot force people to use Septa. Wait, this is how your paying for their deal isn't it? We boycott Septa because they strike and get people fired and their ridership is down and you want us to make up the difference. :::Breath::: Don't even get me started on the 'bike' lanes you have so graciously provided for us and for which we are supposed to kiss your ass for, they are glorified load/unload lanes in which we have to dodge buses and an amazing amount of pot holes and in the end it takes us longer to arrive at our destination than before. Again...ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? :::Breath::: What it that thing on my forehead? It's a VEIN popping because I'm about to have a damn stroke at the thought of this amazingly stupid piece of legislation that so far no has mentioned is a fucking ploy to gain yet MORE revenue from the citizens of our fair city. As if the fucking 5% city wage tax I ALREADY PAY is not enough, we are not your fucking personal piggy bank for your stupid pet projects, this is almost as dumb as banning Foie Gras :::Breath::: It figures, your both fucking Democrats, way to stick it to the little guy, that's it, I'm joining the Republican Party, officially, and will volunteer as much extra time as I can find to getting you two dumbfucks defeated, you know this is also REALLY racist? You know that all the immigrants who staff our burgeoning restaurant industry ride bikes right? I hope the ACLU is all over this for once. Zing! Pop!
And that people is the sound of my head exploding.
I understand that people are upset that others have been injured and killed by being hit by bikes. The person who did not take responsibility is a cad and a coward. I hope he has uneasy rest every night knowing he took a life. And I hope he's satisfied that he has potentially ruined riding a bike in this city for everyone. Thanks dumbass.
*Full disclosure - I am an unsafe bike rider. I do not wear a helmet, I ride on the sidewalk, I regularly blow through stop signs and red lights. But you know what? In the entire 2 years I've been doing it I have not ONCE hit someone, or caused someone to stop short in their car. I know that means little to the folks who would criticize me. You have every right to, I just didn't want to paint myself as something I'm not.*
Clearly there are problems with being able to coexist with bikes and cars here, but fining the people hundreds of dollars who are trying to do the right thing by biking instead of driving, don't make enough money to have a car, are students, or who are here illegally is a jerk move too. IN the entire time I've lived here I've seen a cop pull over a motor vehicle exactly 3 times. I see people every day driving and talking on their cell phones. I see nothing being done about that.

Another flouce
The infamouse perpetual fratboy/narcissist has shut down his message board. Sort of like "I'm taking my toys are going home, you all suck for not seeing how visionary my shitty movie was" What will the millions of teenage boys who thinks he is god do now?

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Tucker Max Fail is not part of the Urban Dictionary.

I was asked very nicely and very politely to try to please not add to the swirl of drama surrounding the dog situation, so they are gone. Someday we might have an answer or not. If not we'll all have to just deal with it.
Heavy Sigh
She flounced, but then she didn't. Either way no proof has been offered and I'm sure that we will never hear another word about it. Someone did feel sorry enough to provide money for their kids Christmas presents though.
I can see making ad revenue off your blog but I really can't fathom taking contributions from complete strangers. I think I'd go work at Walmart before I'd do that.
