Northern Delicacy and Movie Night at Eric's / Let's sniff socks on our honeymoon!
The nine of us had a reasonably good time at Northern Delicacy, even though we were split up into two tables! Steph chose to sit with people who had less extravagant taste... seeing Jon and Jeremy at the same table was a bad indicator, haha. We even saw a bunch of church people: Michelle, Ryan, Ethan, Harry, some other CSC people and kids through the window; and Steph said she saw Gwyneth and Evelyn at another table. Due to my ditziness / blindness, I couldn't see them at all. Eric said that my eyesight was going since I couldn't read the SuperSave truck right in front of us this afternoon on the way home: hey, I couldn't see "Gas" and "Fence Disposal" when it was MOVING!
We also discussed the time that Erin, Eunice, and Steph got kicked out of Timothy camp for talking all night (someone had to drive them home!), and the parental reaction of disbelief that followed. Erin said that Brian's sister Julie broke her nose recently, and that's why she wasn't at this year's Timothy camp: oh well, Julie's dad is a nose specialist! (he had to snap it back into place... OUCH!) Apparently, she was bending down and her friend ran into her head! Erin's going on a trip with her family, so we discussed Best Buy's 10-cent color print sale / London Drugs / keeping your stuff safe on trips. She also owes me $15 when she gets back, heh. We discussed work, Jen / Steph's love lives (NOTHING going on there!), and Phil's blog: whoever links Megan to that will be doing something very stupid since Phil takes a lot of pictures of him and his girlfriend, referring to her as "my beautiful girlfriend" and such! (that makes Steph feel bad for Megan) The nickname he uses for her was very confusing at first, leading us to believe that he had two girlfriends at once... eep!
We tried their siu long bao, and concluded that they wasn't as good as Shanghai Wind... but we were so glad NOT to be there tonight since it was SO HOT! The other food was pretty good, however: the crispy chicken was so moist and tender when usually it's all dry, and the tan tan noodles had LOTS of sesame and were good. We ordered one veggie dish for Eric as well... the other table had five dishes to our four, and also a little problem with the bill which involved the waiter not coming back with change in a reasonable timeframe. All of us figured that since this restaurant seemed more high-class than our usual hangout, this was not the place to order 21 steamers of SLB... besides, that would set us back $100!
After we got stuff sorted out, it was off to Eric's. To humor Jeremy, we drove past the liquor store: of course it was closed, it being Sunday and all.Jen insisted that our car listen to Neko Case since she liked her voice... she made Jon drive very slowly on residential streets in Eric's neighborhood at one point because she wanted to hear the entirety of a certain song! That just reminded me of the time when Jon was driving me, Becky, and Steph home after Fellowship once: Becky and Steph were in hysterics over their Mandarin version of certain English things! "JACK FM should be Jah-Lo F-M! HAHAHAHAHA!" Good thing Steph wasn't driving, but it still took us five minutes to travel a very short distance because of all the laughter that was going on... oh dear!
At Eric's, we watched a bit of the Calgary Stampede rodeo: those horses just want the cowboys off! Erin and Steph took so long getting there that we wondered if they'd gotten lost: turned out that they'd bought a Triple Chill cake for Nathan's birthday after dropping Eunice off at home. Nathan took a long time as well, but we knew he had to do something else first. The last time some of us had been at Eric's was the New Year's Eve PPV game against Minnesota! Jeremy, Jen, and I snagged the couch and played with the cat and the dog till the dog's owners came to pick it up.
Eric's mom Veronica wanted us to have beverages: at first, we thought Jeremy was joking when he wanted just rum, haha. Jen and Jon had rum and Cokes: although I could have had one, I stuck to Sprite. (Jen was looking for liquor all day, we joked) A Fish Called Wanda is so NASTY and funny, and has this incredibly STUPID character named Otto! Steph joked that she was picking up honeymoon tips from a certain scene where the men just sniffed their armpits and various items of clothing (boots, socks) before going to bed... haha, ew! Since there was dog-killing in the movie (by an animal lover who always got injured doing this), Jon and Jeremy made plenty of "raw dog" jokes. (Jen wasn't too impressed by those, haha!)
Steph and I also demonstrated our "sister thing" involving booty-shaking: Jen doesn't do that with her sister! (Jeremy probably wouldn't do that if he HAD a sister, heh) She also told us all about her walkathon deal: if she raises a certai amount, she'll do it in Spandex! (then there was the time Jon called from Toronto and asked what she was doing: sitting around in Spandex is NOT a visual you want to have of your siblings! :P)
Speaking of socks, Jeremy and I discussed socks again when he mentioned that he was on his second pair for the day: he got home from church, and aired his feet out. Of course you don't want to put the same socks back on afterwards: EW, SWEAT! Back in October at Derek's farewell party, he mentioned that he'd gone shopping for a bunch of things, including socks: his new invented concept is black sports socks that kinda double as dress socks. (he hates the latter, but loves the former)
Eric paused the movie at the climax so that we could eat the birthday cake: we criticized LAST COMIC STANDING (three minutes isn't enough for an entire routine!) / reality shows with judges, certain actresses' nasal annoying voices, and other such stuff. The end of the movie was funny: yeah, run over someone with a huge steamroller for revenge! Man, you've got to see this for yourself: MONTY PYTHON casting is good! It was good seeing Eunice again, and at least this is a week where I don't have to do anything much (I hope)... yay, I can catch up on my sleep! (Nathan was trying to work on / edit a paper on his laptop while watching the movie because it's due tomorrow, which kinda worked... he also gave me a ride home)
