Poonting in Bangcock

Today I was sick and so was Jake, well actually he was faking it, but whatever I let him stay home cuz I'm cool that way. By the early evening I was feeling mostly Ok so when the ex showed up to take the kids to karate, I met Monica and Victor for sushi, Ong Bak:Muay Thai Warrior (really good movie about this guy, Poon Ting, with awesome fight sequences with Thailand as the backdrop, and not the cheesy floating magic fight scenes like Crouching Tiger or super-choreographed dancey-fighting, just awesome acrobatics and athletics) It was very fun. Then I came home and watched the end of the Texas/USC game, basically the superbowl of college football, with Ariella's friend Elise. Leo and Drew also showed up, Drew wants me to come see her in her modeling show at Sonar on Saturday. Texas was totally losing the whole time, then suddenly made a comeback and won the game in the final 19 seconds! There was also a pretty good run by USC where the dude did a front flip, and this one touchdown they got, the camera paned to the right and there were two Texas players, the ones who just tried to tackle the dude, lying with their faces in the dirt. Those were the highlights, for me anyway!

Here are some pics from my parents yearly Hanukkah party. V was invited but missed most of it being a 'mensch' and driving this crazy hypocondriac woman home to do her breathing treatment; she was going to drive herself home, but she looked like she might pass out at any moment! Yes, my b/f is a selfless hero. :) And here he is wearing his sister. er, a Yamekah.

So cute!
