Caffeine and I Don't Mix

If you know me, you would agree that I should not drink coffee. Why? Because it makes me... c-r-a-z-y. Yes. I know, right? I consume alcohol, a LOT of alcohol, but it doesn't compare to when I've had a cup (yes, even a small little cup) of coffee. So, this morning, I went to Starbucks on the way to work and got a tall Caramel Machiato. Next thing I know, I'm talking to myself and weaving through traffic. I get to work and I can't stop laughing. Who knew that caffeine had such adverse effects? Ok, but that's not the point of this post.

Stef and I went to Macy's Furniture Store last night and yes, we finally purchased a COUCH! It's suuuper cute and will be delivered this Sunday! It's the bluish one in the picture below:


We only got the couch, but we're going to buy some accent chairs and maybe a rug! How exciting! No more sitting on the floor in an empty living room!

After our very successful shopping trip, Stef, Young, and I had dinner at Santa Ramen, a hole-in-the-wall ramen joint that my brother very enthusiastically recommended (he's serious about it, you can read his review on Yelp). We had to wait about 15 minutes at 8:45pm on a Monday night, but we did because quite a few restaurant patrons leaving were heard saying "this place is f-ing delicious". And indeed, it was damn good. The soup was reeeally good and you never say that about ramen, so this place is pretty fantastic. However, that was not the last of our Monday night festivities, we headed over to this HK desserts place and had Asian desserts. I had the thick black sesame paste --- yum and my hair will get darker (you'll understand if you have a Chinese mother).

All in all, a very productive night to make up for a weekend of just lounging around. Seriously, I have nothing worth blogging about from this weekend. Oh. I DID go to Suite 181 on Saturday night to see William Huey drunk and ridiculous. But, other than that, nothing as exciting as getting a new couch and eating really good ramen. So, my next excursion will be going to buy a desk to furnish my very important home office. You heard me, I'm important.

P.S. I believe the caffeine has finally worn off because I'm starting to get a headache. I told you, caffeine is potent. For me, at least.
