A whiff of air biscuit

Ah, back on my swivel chair to poop flatulent thoughts.

Had the pleasure of spending some time with two groups of friends both today and yesterday. Pretty stark contrast between the two. One was all guys, and the other, all girls. One was a pub, the other was at a bistro-like place. I just thought it was interesting to have a a singular gender outing on back to back days. Girls...take the longest time to decide on food. But of course, i'm not trying to disassociate myself from the confuddling madness that the females ponder upon a singular mushroom serving. Gee..mushrooms are nice. Should i get mushroom cheese melt sandwich or mushroom crepe in parmesan? Which in fact, you only have to decide on the crepe or the sandwich, ceteris paribus. And THAT, needs careful analysis, cause one looks like button mushroom, the other looks like straw mushroom. FINALLY, we decided..well since we cannot decide on which wild fungus to choose, we shall take two and share.Girls girls girls, share food, share drinks, share tips, share calories. I haven't got started on the different types of pasta, the sauce, and the meatballs. With that, twenty minutes was gone, i was so famished. Even the tabasco sauce was Saucy.


Guys eat anything basically. They go ok, beer, ok wings, ok wedges, ok you want fries, ok get fries, anything else, oh fish/chicken nuggets. Fast, and largely carnivorous. The conversation didnt really make sense to me, cause it was a lot of screen analysis, on the offsides, and good tackles, and what else?? A lot of name dropping here there, some players whose last names brought up some recall.


In summation, methinks girl outings are more interesting, conversation-wise. They wax lyrical about men and the men-u. That is if we can get through the food orders, and all the eee-aaahs--oohs about which food is less fattening. Nonetheless, it was nice. Actually, both groups were nice but in different ways :)


On a random note, i just watched a schmaltzy korean mv, via youtube. I am quite surprised how something as technical as a mv can manage to illicit those kind of feelings, when you know for a (tacky)fact, that it is Made to make you feel that way. Tsk tsk, emo-conspiracy! A bit too mawkish for me! I feel like a warm bumped-out goose.


So i decided to switch tunes and watched a ridiculous japanese show, with all the outrageous antics. With bird costumes and all. Japan has a very oldschooled/over-the-top culture all existing within a same geographical context. There's the quiant and zen-ed side, the economic powerhouse side, the lolita schoolgirl side. But again, i don't know much about the culture, so shan't comment too much. Just a rough impression sketch.


Good night!
