Last night we had a great dinner of tempura. mostly veggies, but also some scallops and shrimp. Anita made spring rolls, and I prep'ed the batter (+ tandori) and veggies. We made the food together (i manned the chopsticks for boiling in oil, and anita made the rolls), and ate w/ our cool neighbors from apartment A. (we're apt. C) Afterwards we played Texas Hold'em Poker (like everyone else in the world). It was our first time (unlike everyone else) and we played for fake money (chips). It was more fun than i expected... i'm sure no shark though - i can't bluff without laughing.
We�ve signed up for the local city Recreation Center [1], literally 2 blocks away. It was only $5 for the year, and we have access to a nice indoor pool, a gym, pool tables, ping-pong table (currently under repair or something), air hockey, etc� all for free or $1.00/person/visit.
It�s totally awesome. Anita and I went on Tuesday evening to get our IDs made ($5 each) and go to, perhaps, the most emasculating experience of my life�. a water aerobics class. It was ok � in fact, it was fun and good exercise � but it was difficult to deal with the fact that 90% of the class were old or fat or both. I think it�s a great idea, for all people, but I probably wont go back. It�s so weird to realize one�s own vanity and embarrassment. I�m not too worried about not going back to that class, there is �free swim� regularly. Anita and I went to that today.
