Plate of Shrimp

Lunch today in Chinatown. Suishaya. Great sushi and Korean fare. Really enjoyed it even though all this mercury talk kept me from ordering tuna. Gah.

So despite the title of this entry, I didn't get shrimp. But on the way there I had a "plate of shrimp" moment. Yesterday I was randomly thinking of co-workers whose weddings I had attended at various points in my life. (This is actually a fun exercise to help yourself remember points in your past.) But while thinking of that I thought of other random people - like a girlfriend I had in college whom I had taken to my sister's wedding. Well we only dated for a short period of time, so she's a random memory but a permanent one because of the wedding thing. (Which is why I think its fun to remember co-workers whose weddings I've attended - some of them I am still friends with, but mostly not. So to think that I am kind of a permanent memory for them in their photo albums is kind of neat.) So she's this random permanent memory and for whatever random reason I was thinking about her yesterday.

And then, today, on the way to Chinatown - you know what's coming! - there she is. On the street. So we stop and say hi and all that and its very nice. But how random and "plate-of-shrimpish." So i got salmon even though I wanted tuna and thought about various other college days...
