Are the Neighbors Listening In?

Wow, I really don't like the color scheme of this new template. We'll have to work on that.

I wonder if the neighbors are listening in. Ever since I started bitching about The Song, they have both lowered the volume of their music and started playing other songs. They're still singsongy children's songs (and still in Spanish) but at least they're not blasting La Bamba anymore.

Today was my last day of physical therapy :). They measured my legs and the muscles are actually bigger so it has had a positive effect. I got a t-shirt for my graduation. On the back it says "Just Five More!" which really cracked me up. Unfortunately they only had XL t-shirts so it looks like I've gained a nightshirt.

I'm hungry for lunch but of course with it being noon and all, there were no parking spots in front of my favorite restaurant, Bento Xpress. Can I just tell you how much I LOVE Bento Xpress? We live a block South of Japantown which is strangely enough populated with a ton of Japanese restaurants. While I don't like Sushi or Spam Musubi (rolled up just like sushi but with Spam in the middle instead of fish), I'm a big fan of other Japanese cuisine including my particular obsession: Gyoza (potstickers). I'm such a regular at Bento Xpress that the girl working there not only knows me but knows what I usually order--a #2 special (chicken teriyaki with rice, salad, and gyoza) or the gyoza appetizer + a small salad (I love their miso salad dressing too). Bento Xpress is a fast-food like atmosphere and they do a lot of take-out though you can sit and eat if you like.

I'll have to take my nap and head to Bento Xpress when it's less crowded. Or I could just eat the half of a leftover hamburger from Dave and Busters. I wonder how long leftover hamburgers last. If it looks bad, it's Bento Xpress for me.
