The week in miniature

[muckefuck]

• Friday Meet monshu for dinner at Big Chicks; learn (a) what goes in a negroni and (b) about the peculiar aerodynamic properties of cardboard coasters until bartender confiscates them all.
• Saturday Go shopping in the burbs. See some beautiful furniture, then pay ridiculous sums for silly Japanese candies at Mitsuwa. Stay up too late watching volcano shows on TDC; develop mad crush on Capt. John Lindeman as portrayed by Darrell D'Silva.
• Sunday Blow off the morning sleeping and playin with new Zulu dictionary. Watch Almodóbar's Todo sobre mi madre with monshu, who doesn't care for it. Stay up too late researching actors' origins on IMDb.
• Monday Stop by monshu's to finish birthday card, pulling my hair out at my lack of talent and creativity. Break "blowjob" shotglass from Excalibur in act of supreme clumsiness.
• Tuesday Meet bunj and e. for dinner at Tango Sur; eat way too much. Stroll around for just long enough to make room for dessert from Café Meinl. Come home and finish reading El capitán Alatriste while unable to sleep.
• Wednesday Meet e. to stow trenchcoat before hooking up with bunj and HoDaRing it to the Cell for her first baseball game. Watch Cards lose miserably against WhiteSox. Drunkenly sing "Wave of Mutilation" through half-hour cattle drive to el stop afterwards.

HoDaRing it to the Cell

Shouldn't that either be "HoDaRing it to Comiskey" or "Red Lining it to the Cell"?

It's all about me and when I began to interact with these things. This was the first time I'd ever gone to a ball game in Chicago.

Did Mitsuwa used to have a different name?

It's the Mall Formerly Known As Yaohan. The retail group which owned it went bust in the 1997 Asian financial meltdown.

I was wondering about that, too.

How is Tango Sur? I've been curious ...

Haven't been to Mitsuwa in FOREVER ...

I think it's pretty good. I wouldn't order the empanadas again--they were mostly dough and deep-fried too long--but everything else I've had there is good. Plus the chimichurri is fabou and they serve FRIED CHEESE! Something I thought was a guilty pleasure to be consumed only on one's own in the kitchen is considered an actual dish (provoleta) in Argentine cooking. We have so much to learn from them!
