i make myself noodles all the time, and tonite is no exception. it's easy to make a complete meal with a bowl of noodles, and it's fun (and delicious) to go all out with the toppings, too.take that, Pho Bo Ga!
I had lunch with Bob, Karine, Xavier, Pierre-James and the long-time-no-see Arianne at the Eggspectation at noon today. Service was slow but we could see the servers were doing whatever they could. Xavier is adorable and full of energy as always.

after lunch, I hit Elephant and Castle again for my usual sunday poker game. John, Ali-John and Mick were there, too, and they were doing very well for themselves. Ali eliminated my dad and me early in the game. Mick was blessed by the poker gods and was hitting every card he needed against the worst possible odds. by the time I left, john was watching from the sideline, and both Ali and Mick held a sizeable chip stack.

soccer is at nine tonite. i'll be playing forward. hope I come back in one piece. .e  16:34
