Sushi Anyone?

Not feeling really well today. When I woke up this morning, I assumed I'd take a short day at work, come home and take a nap, and then see how I felt before going to dinner. I am hitting Sushi Ichiban tonight with some friends of mine. They are bringing along some woman with her three year old son. Not really sure I'm happy about dining with some strange kid.

In all honesty, I'm not really sure how happy I am about eating sushi, either. I love Asian food (Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, etc.), but have never acquired a taste for sushi. The two times I had it before, I was not too into it. I am willing to try it again. My friends also offered up going to The Taj, but I eat there every week, so I wanted to try something different. I am definitely not going to go out afterwards because I am not feeling 100%. I want to go to sleep kind of early and try to kick this cold or whatever immediately.


UPDATE (10:00 pm): Sushi was okay. I got a combo platter that had some sushi and some other stuff like Chicken Tempura. Mike Mogis of Bright Eyes was there with his girlfirend (wife?). I feel like shit, so I am going to sleep now. More to report tomorrow...

I'm not a big fan of sushi either, but it helps to go to a buffet style seafood place. I find that way I can try a bunch of different kinds, and there's also some other food to eat so I don't go completely hungry. I still don't know how people can eat JUST sushi and be full after that, I guess you probably need to like it a lot for that to happen.

I was the only one in my group that got something other than sushi. I also had to use the kiddie chopsticks (they called them cheater's chopsticks) where the ends are tied with a rubber band so they are easy to use. I'm a freaking idiot with chopsticks.

ha ha, I'm the same with chopsticks, I don't even bother anymore.
