- Come on baby, light my fire - Monday, October 04, 2004 It was somewhat of a 'hot' theme for this past weekend. It started Saturday morning, driving to 'yes-it's-October-but-it-still-burns-like-July' Fresno, CA. The krazy kali freaks all had nothing to do this weekend, and you know what that means. Well, it means - yeah, we had nothing to do. After meeting up with the krazies in question, we ended up at the almighty Yoshino's sushi bar and just nearly escaped a 'death by damn good sushi'. This is the ONLY place to eat when in Fresno - no, serious, it almost IS the only place, but it's now my favorite. The Salmon & Cream Cheese, and the Wat Special (tempura shrimp, salmon, and avocado sushi) was a virtual orgy of the taste buds. Whoa, that's a visual. With some soy sauce, a bit of wasabi, and a Shirley Temple w/ 79 cherries, it is the vegas side show of this middle of farmland town. I just love to see the girls faces after they've realized that sushi is quite filling. "This [sushi]'s tasty, but it's quite filling..." - scary Anchorman reference. Thanks Molls for, once again, making me laugh til I pee - just a little bit. And thanks Lupes for being smack dap right in the middle of California. Without you, the sushi rendevous would not be possible. The weekend is never complete without a trip near Yosemite for a little gambling...or what I like to call, "Watch people lose their money". I admit, I'm not by any means an avid gambler - ok, I'm not even a slight gambler, I was just hunting for quarters at the bottom of my purse to make some lights go off on the 25 cent slots. The real fun is watching Lupe in action. This is one woman passionate about her Roulette games, and she can hem-haw with the best of them. Whatever the hell 'hem-haw' means. FYI - sprint to your local movie previewing establishment to see Ladder 49. Someone's gonna win somethin' for this movie, I wish it was it me, but no. Go see it, it's excellent. If the Fresno heat doesn't kill you, Joaquin Phoenix's heat in this movie will. *phew* And people wonder why we live for the weekends?
