It was a long, fun weekend. Today is also an off-day, which I am very grateful for.

On Saturday, I rode to Portland with my mom and two sisters. We went to Powell's (arguably the coolest bookstore I've ever been to) for an hour, where I was the only one of us to not buy something. I'm incredibly indecisive when I go to bookstores, unlike other stores. I'll spend a lot of time looking and either want to get a whole bunch of books or not really want to get any. Also, I'm such a bargain shopper that if I think there's a reasonable chance I can get it somewhere else for cheaper I'll wait.

After that we went to a sushi place. It's not the first time I've had sushi with raw fish, but I think it's the first time I've had sashimi (raw fish by itself). It's kind of cold and bland and squishy. It doesn't weird me out, but I don't like it very much. I don't like seafood very much anyway. I prefer to eat sushi in a bowl or bigger rolls with seaweed, rather than in little rolls like a delicacy (I'm partially biased because that's how my mom makes it, without the raw fish). I'm not sure that I like eating much of anything as a delicacy.

I need to figure out a way to carry chopsticks with me wherever I go, because every time I want them I never have them. I get annoyed by the cheap variety many restaurants give to you. If only it was socially acceptable for men to have purses...it seems like they would be really useful.
