Lost and FOUND!!

I realized I lost my college graduation earring on Sunday. Just found it on the floor in the breakroom behind the trash can. The post is slightly bent so the housekeeper sorta cleaned the room. Score for me!

Sun Wah

Monday night dinner. Wow, I knew Peking duck is tasty, but who knew Peking Duck could be so fun. We ordered the duck dinner special that totally uses the entire duck. First, this teen-looking hispanic boy with a hipster haircut carved the bird with complete finesse. I will call him Dexter. Then "Chuck" our waiter brought out steamed white buns - the asian kind, duck sauce, pickled daikon radishes, scallions, & carrots. Duck sandwich. I wanted to cup my cheeks (face) with the steamed buns. So white & fluffy. Dexter then took the carcass away. Some other wait staff brought out duck fried rice. Fucking good. Not greasy like other fried rice. Then there was duck soup. We were in heaven. I prepped for a large meal by eating just waffles, Frango mints, coffee, water during the day. Z & K - foodie leaders who brought us here could eat us under the table but were stuffed too. The entire duck is dark meat goodness. The skin, so full of cholesterol, was light & crispy.

We also ordered salt & pepper squid to before the duck. And to make this sorta healthy, we ordered bok choy. These 2 dishes were the bomb too, but they were only part of the peripheral Peking Duck experience (PPDE).

TSA

I fucking hate TSA. You are the work bitch for the airlines.

Instead of checking if my bag fits that American Airline bag-sizing thing (you know that small box beneath the sign "Does your bag fit in here?"), why don't you check people for actual weapons, etc. This is a rule they like to enforce whenever it's convenient. And not even consistent. This dumb roller bag has never been checked in b/c it fits in the overhead bin. This stupid TSA bitch didn't think I'd argue but I did. Yeah, you radioed in my description so of course I had to pay $25 to check in my bag even though EVERYONE who rides an AA American Eagle plane checks their bag in at the plane! There basically isn't an overhead bin. There's a "bin" the size of the overhead bin on a Grey Hound BUS. AA wasn't nice either. And after I paid, of course the bag handler chucked my bag on the conveyer belt. And my bag has a new black coating from being checked in.

Like I said to you last week, I'll say it again: OH, FUCK YOU!

Exhale

Now that I'm done with school, I'm hoping for a fresh start with the things I put on the side burner for the last 2 years. sweetyellowcorn.blogspot.com mainly.

Spent pre-Xmas in Houston. It was a great escape from the Chicago cold. Big Puffer (aka North Face Arctic Wind Parka) and Ugg boots were in shock with the 80 degree weather when I stepped out of IAH. Hung out with the family, got a massage, played old skool Dr. Mario on the Wii with my sister.

Christmas Eve at IAH and ORD - totally empty
Working on Xmas day - fun crew but still rather be with family & friends.
