Know anyone with kids?

If you do, spread the word, I am officially in the birthday party business.

If this works, a few hours on the weekends could be very profitable.

Ok, on to the Oscars: Crash? Whatever. Did not like it, and dammit, that does not make me a racist. Racial dialogue can be a good thing, but not through contrived interweaving stories. Boo. The rest of the winners were good though. Yay Philip Seymour Hoffman (or as one of the Williams sisters said, Philip Semen Hoffman).

I went to Chinatown for dinner with Marina this weekend, and we went to an okay place. Weird thing though, we never had a server. I have never been to a restaurant, somehow gotten food, but never had a server. Some random woman brought us tea, the host noticed us sitting around looking for someone and took our order, and a kitchen guy brought our food. We had to flag down a waitress, who I think was supposed to be ours, to get a check. There was a little survey in the checkbook about the service, and even if we had known how to explain our situation, there was no pen. Good moment, thanks Chinatown. Then we went to a bakery and got gigantic almond cookies, yum.
