When someone mentions BBQ I think of like... a grill, and meat, and bbq sauce. Perhaps some testosterone in the air, and beer. 

It hadn't occured to me how Americanized I've become when Fett took us out to dinner at a Korean BBQ joint in none other than Korea-town. Never in my life have I had Korean BBQ. No clue what to expect- other than chicken and bbq sauce. Perhaps some rice, and some kind of soup? Is that racist? Probably.

Yeah, no.

 Parking was slightly inconvenient, but considering this was in the evening on a Saturday, and we arrived just before it got insanely busy-- waited maybe 3 minutes to be seated, walking slightly further for a parking spot was totes no problem.

How excited was I, you guise.

my first time ever eating Korean BBQ!!!

Road to Seoul was our dining spot. Let me tell you how delicious it was, k?

It was purr delicious, you guise.

Warning for all my vegan putas; this will be gross for you. Sorry bout it. If you continue reading, totes not my fault. Heart you! :D

When we were led to our table I thought that they hadn't finished bussing it, lol. There was a whole bunch of stuff on the table! I'm thinking like "uh... are they done cleaning..this off?"
Of course Fett has to dumb it down for me and tell me that these are all included with our meal, and the dishes with shit in them are actually our sides. I thought they were leftovers, lmao.

I was pleasantly surprised to view the grill right before us! Fett had

gone into the details of this, briefly. My dumb ass pictured a grill on wheels being brought over to us with food on it to pick off of, like Dim Sum. 

Racist? 

You bet.

No clue what any of that stuff was, but I tried all of it. Fett doesn't like spicy stuff, so this was also for his benefit. So, you know, he knew what was spicy and what wasn't... of course..

So all of our options were on the menu in the list of our entree category.
I forget both of the things we started with, but one of the things was Beef Tongue, and he got Beef Something Else. Fucking love beef tongue. Especially on street tacos, omfg.

So. Good!!! We got to grill everything ourselves, it was really fun!
And the best part is that most of this is by-product. 

The way I look at it is... these animals will get killed regardless to nourish us.
There are only some parts of the animals that are in demand at super markets. Would the rest just get thrown away otherwise if people wouldn't eat it? That sounds extremely wasteful.
You know what else is wasteful?
When people at Starbucks order sandwiches without the meat, or egg.

I get it, you don't eat meat. And that's great for you, but guess what happens every time you ask for that? That perfectly good meat has to get thrown away.

I used to offer it to people who I knew had pets. We'd warm up the leftovers and put them in a baggie to be consumed. But I got in trouble for being a condescending dick, apparently.

ANYWHO-- point being... I rather eat this so it wouldn't otherwise go to waste.
LIKE FUCKING SHARK FIN SOUP MAKING MOTHERFUCKERS WITH THEIR BULLSHIT SHARK FIN HUNTING BULLSHIT. THAT JUST CAPTURE SHARKS, CUT OFF THEIR FINS AND THEN JUST LET THEM DROWN IN THE OCEAN. 

DON'T FUCKING EAT THAT SHIT. SHARK FIN SOUP IS BULLSHIT.

IT DOESN'T EVEN TASTE LIKE ANYTHING, IT'S LIKE FUCKING TOFU BUT REALLY EXPENSIVE AND IT'S BULLSHIT. (I read articles)

k.

:D

hi. 

how's it goin'? 

cool. 

I'm having blueberry coffee. :)

where were we?

oh, yeah.

okay... 

SO.

We ordered until I felt like I had to throw up. This, evidently, is "doing it right."

I bet you thought we'd get the whole squid, huh? ;)
Unfortunately, these are less than a by-product. They are an everything-product.

That just means that Denny's won't receive as many calamari to fry, and therefore the heads and rest of the bodies won't go to waste. SEE WHAT I DID THERE? 

No really though, where does the rest of the calamari go? Because they just serve the fried tentacles, right? Am I right??! Huh.

Then we had small intestines and stomach. 

I mean... how could we not? 

Also, I ate this shit all the time in Peru, so it ain't even a thing.

Then we got the tripe.

REGRET.

I only suggested this because my mom would make it with one of the dishes she'd prepare, and it was good! But it was also masked with a shit ton of flavors.

Tripe by itself was pretty ugh. It tasted very fatty, and oily. We had a tough time downing it all, but there could be no left-overs. They charge if you leave any meat uneaten.

There was also the bbq chicken that I didn't take a picture of.

And then finally we finished off with the Bulgogi.

It was basically a huge pile of shredded beef I think.

Something.

My god, the struggle.

I was SO full. And we still had pieces of tripe to down. 

But eventually, we did it.

By the time we were done the place was insanely packed. 

As we left we could barely make our way out the door, there were so many people waiting to be seated. It was cray cray, you guise. 

But all in all, Korean BBQ is awesome and delicious, and it definitely will be a thing... again. In the future and stuff. After convention season. haha!

I miss cooking.
So I made Fett and I dinner the other night. It felt good cooking for "my man." Made me feel all ... like... something. I dunno.
Next time I'm gonna make us the shit I always made. That like beef stew shit my mommy taught me.
Hopefully he'll like it. I just wish meat wasn't so expensive. One reasonably priced thing of meat at the store barely feeds two people >_<

That's okay. That's what rice is for! And sides! :D haha

Anywho, also... is this not the cutest little Wolverine?

The guy wanted a Wolverine in his normal attire, like with his jacket and jeans and wife beater and stuff. He gave me two reference pictures with two different jackets, but I liked the fuzzy coat better :P
The claws I tried to cut kinda sharp, but not really. They're a little sharp, lol. Just a liiiiiittle bit. 

But I mean you can't have a Wolverine with stupid non-sharp claws! Right?! So like.... merrrr lol =\

^_^

C o s p l a y    may be a thing. There's this one character that I really like, who totally doesn't even deserve it because their role is extremely minimal, even though the feature is ABOUT this character. Not only that, but it's a terribad feature. Like, it's dumb. You feel disappointment after seeing it. At least I did. I thought "wtf... that's it?" when I finished watching it.

ANYWHO. It's still cute, and I really like this character, so I'm gonna try to pull it together before Wondercon. This gives me a week, lol. If I don't get it done before then, I'll do it for Long Beach Comic Con, if not Anime Expo. This will be my first Cosplay ever, so it'll most likely be awful and shitty, but hey... at least I'm not lying to myself ;D

Also, I will be at Wondercon with Fett! So, if you see me, you'll also get to see who this mysterious gentleman is- unless he wears his Boba Fett helmet the whole time. I don't know. It'd be funny if he did though.

ESO has also been the subject of many a things from people coming at me all like "omg get it"

So, I will. Just because it's new, and I like the traditional Fantasy genre that seems more and more hybridized as the market grows to reach wider demographics.
The only hybrids I like are hot guys. 

I don't mix well with hybrid genres of anything. Hybrid music genres, hybrid gaming genres, hybrid cereals (my mom put leftover cereal in another cereal box that I didn't know of and when I went to pour it I was like MOM WTF DID YOU DO, I CAN'T EAT THIS -- scarred for life), hybrid nu-anything. Yuck!
Call me old fashioned and comfortable! Or close-minded. 

....Keepin' it real.

I'm off to acquire quarters for laundry and cosplay things. Thank goodness I got that sewing machine!
 

 

Blueberry coffee, ya'll.
