My girlfriend took me to Mexico for our fifth anniversary the last two days. It was incredible and awesome and totally refreshing, if not ridiculously excessive in every consumable way. I was so excited about everything happening and the Mexican guy singing romantical Mexican guitar songs interspersed with Dust in the Wind and a muy caliente Stairway to Heaven, that I ate myself to near-death.
We got back yesterday after spending two hours at the "other" border crossing ignoring children standing on other children juggling, and everything else crazy that goes on in Tijuana.
This trip came hot on the heels of our little excursion to mutha-fucking Rosemead to Bahooka(full name: Bahooka Ribs and Grog), the greatest GD restaurant in the history of liver-damaging, Type-II diabetes inducing, tiki-themed restaurants.
What is the first thing we ordered? A BOWL OF VODKA. with some assorted tropical juices infused somewhere.
But I bet you're wondering, "Was it on fire?" FUCKING YES IT WAS.
From there it was a parade of fried fish and meaty ribs piled in front of us in a never ending assault on our cholesterol levels. I believe, if I remember, I ordered the Captain's Combo. Apparently the Captain likes fried shrimp sandwiched between fried fish, with a side of something called "Crab Puffs" which is just fried imitation crab meat. My girlfriend ordered Steak with a side of fried shrimp…or was it fried shrimp with a side of steak? THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW.
Also, did I mention that every single space unoccupied with fried food or humans is occupied with aquariums filled with crazy enormous tropical fish and turtles? Yeah. Including an obedient 31 year old fish named Rufus, about the size of a one year old baby, who eats raw carrots.
Highly recommended for those without serious heart disease concerns.
Anyhow, now I'm back in Long Beach, not drinking a bowl of vodka, thinking about entering National novel Writing Month in November and trying desperately to finish my latest short film by this weekend. A year in the making, I'm ready to have this shit complete! Have a great week people, be careful out there. [CHiPs theme
