The Lai Curse (General)
:: Friday, May 2nd, 2008 @ 12:02:12 pm

Last night, I divided 240 by 4 and got 80. The curse strikes again!

Roaming around San Francisco has been a lot of fun. I pick a random restaurant within walking distance of wherever I end up sleeping and go hang out there to work on my computer for a few hours. Because my friends who aren’t on normal working schedules have either moved away or had babies, I live mostly in solitude during week days. And so, I wander around and hang out with the people around me (even though I don’t actually talk to anyone except for wait staff).

Yesterday, at Yummy Yummy (in the Sunset), two of the guys who work there saw a big photo of a shark on my computer screen and had a conversation about it. Here’s how I imagined that it went:

Waiter 1: “Whoah! Check out that shark! That’s really cool!”

Waiter 2: “Are you crazy? That thing would bite your head off in an instant.”

Waiter 1: “Whatever. That’s the coolest thing ever.”

Waiter 2: “Hmm. I’m getting hungry…”

I recognized one of the waiters as having been there when I was a regular customer 8-9 years ago (when my ex-girlfriend lived out in the Sunset). Dave says there is a guy there who will talk your ear off while you eat, but I haven’t met him, yet.

    Where did you move to? Back into the city? I just moved, you’ll have to check out out next time you are in Denver. I’ve been working on it for the past week, so much to fix up. It will probably take a few more months before the inside is done.

    funny! i know exactly what you are talking about because I frequent that restaurant when I have my pho cravings. They have two kids always playing in the back of the restaurant.
