A slacker am I...

thistlechaserI always feel like a slacker if I don't make at least a post a day. I know this is silly, but hey. I'm a silly person (mentally, at least).
I saw Monsters, Inc for the first time yesterday. Luckily it was wonderful and beautiful to look at, because I disliked the storyline. Actually, I didn't like the voices much either, which is a bad thing for an animated movie. The fur was beautiful though, so I just stared at that and watched it move for the 1.5 hours of the movie.
Got some new anime all/nearly downloaded. One series (13 eps) finished downloading this morning, the other will likely be finished by the time I get home (unless Hooch crashed sometime today...). It'd be nice if I knew the titles to post with this bit of info, huh? I *think* one was called The Twelve Kingdom (in English; A-something Something in Japanese), and the other one was something like 'Shadow of the Sun, Shadow of the Moon' in English. Both came highly recommended, so I'm looking forward to seeing them.
Food is... blah. Got an egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast (which is more than I usually have, but I was hungry), then had to get lunch on the run (because I had to return software as well), so ended up with a cheese sandwich. Too much cheese. I had only a couple bites of lunch, the rest is in the work fridge. I'll probably end up eating it for dinner... Good thing it has lettuce on it, otherwise I'd just kill myself at my continued poor veggie intake. (Yeah, lettuce isn't much, but it's better than nothing. Barely.)
When I have time, I want to find somewhere to have stirfry. I'm not sure where they have it though. Chinese? Japanese? Both? Other?
And anyone have experience with a "noodle bowl" restaurant? Is it just like... noodles? With broth and veggies in a bowl? Does it tend to be very or oddly spicy?
Lastly, Mongolian Barbecue? I know it has 'barbecue' in the name, but I think I heard that it's really just a type of stirfry?

longwindedness ahoy!
Date: 2003-09-04 05:01 am (UTC)I guess it's kind of like Mongolian barbecue in that you pick out exactly how much of each veggie you want from a salad bar setup, then hand your (heaping full, mmm) bowl of veggies to the cook and it comes back with slightly-shrunken veggies and lots of noodles and sauce in with it.
I've never been to an actual Mongolian barbecue place. ^^; But it seems like it would be hard to get a vegetarian meal there, just by virtue of it being barbecue. I mean, I guess you could get tofu but...
I've also never had pho from a real pho place, just at an all-encompassing kind of Vietnamese restaurant. Which is lame because Houston is known for having great pho places. *adds to the list of things to do*
