Went to a local Japanese place for dinner yesterday with my mom. Everyone else in the house already had other arrangements and neither of us had ever tried this restaurant before, so we gave it a shot.

Pretty good place, all in all. Cooked food was a little ehh, but the sushi was excellent. Since it was just the two of us, we kinda just picked and chose ('cause I had to get my toro sashimi - sure, I'm eating it now because Onizuka made a stink about it in the anime, but that stuff is seriously awesome!). So I figured we might as well grab a rice bowl to round everything off.

We ended up getting the cheapest donburi on the menu. Not so much because it was inexpensive, but because I had just learned about "oyakodon" - chicken and fried egg on top of rice - the other day. See, oyako literally means "parent and child", which is sort of a joke about how the dish has both chicken and egg in it. Naturally I found it hilarious to learn that, so we had to have it - even if the chicken was kinda tough and there wasn't nearly enough topping for the amount of rice there actually was. That wasn't the point of it. In any case, my mom kinda wants to make that (or some modified version of it) at home now. So neat.

But like I said, they had toro, so I was set. The mother and I also had dinner conversation more about out of town friends - both current and near-future - rather than about what kind of job I want to look for. That was the best setting of it all.

Other than that . . . no, that's about it. Did my Writers Bloc work, got Nehsz' set up for her Writers Bloc work (which she did quickly and under time constraints and duress, so I totally appreciate it) . . . thought a little about how I should probably plug the Writers Bloc over at the Watercooler some time now that we're really up and running now and I'm feeling shameless . . .

I'll worry about that later. Still got some June to take care of first . . .
