a gemini for the gemini...!

malt and vine..a fantastic beer and wine shop in redmond...
they serve beer on tap and a sell wiiiiiide selection of beer from all over ZE world!!
for the beer loving jamus, it's the perfect place to try all kinds o beer...and it couldn't get any better than what we found this weekend! a 'GEMINI' beer for...yep, the GEMINI!
i think i got more excited about it than him... anything astrology gets me excited♥ LOVE IT!
too bad they didn't have a scorpio beer for the awesome scorpio-me !

Kooza: Cirque du Soleil...♥

Kooza♥ <- CLICK
YEP! cirque du soleil is back for another performance at the marymoor park in redmond! (i think it's kind of an annual thing...i recall them performing @ marymoor in the past) tickets aren't cheap... the cheapest ones are about $50 but...the seats are rather crappy. cirque du soleil is known for it's performance and quality...they have shows in vegas that run hundreds of dollars...i feel lucky that they're even performing near us♥ i'm hoping to go!

boondock saints...!

last night i saw boondocks saints for the first time

(i recall seeing it in the past but i don't think i finished it...i remember ben owned the movie)
well, it's their 10th anniversary and with st patty's coming up next week, they re-released the movie in limited theaters♥ Bella Botega in Redmond being one of them☺
good movie! and c'mon..i'm part irish. made me feel cool!
and oof!♥_♥ the saints are hotties! normad reedus is definitely my type♥
BUT i think willem dafoe's character is what made the movie awesome!
his character as the crazy detective...HAHAHA! i almost want him to get a spinoff movie on him!

frankie's pizza & pasta...♥

i took erika out for her birthday dinner♥
FRANKIE's PIZZA&PASTA ya'll!!
we've been eyeing this place for a while...it's right in redmond downtown.
it's a really cute restaurant! small and cafe-like
(i've actually eaten here before...ages ago!)
we go in and the place is packed. not a large restaurant but that also makes it better...
they had dudes tossing pizza dough...and they had a display with cakes! (totally saw a tiramisu...)
erika got a kiwi cremosa (italian soda with half&half)
so gooood...i used to drink those all the time back in high school
i got the angel hair pasta ...DE-LICIOUS! the portions aren't huge either which is good♥
erika's italian wedding soup was probably the best i've ever had..
hmm..now... pegasus or frankie's? it's hard to pick now...
i definitely recommend this place♫

apparently...

...penguins consume pizza....and they're purple in color...they are also muscular

and wear scarves....this penguin also looks like he's high on something.....

go check him out at Papa Murphy's Pizza in redmond..!!

hahahahaha

o, and their gourmet veggie pizzas are to die for ! *yum*

friday the 13th...!

this past friday the 13th was also my friend schreiner's birthday! 28 now:)
happy birthday!
we celebrated at the 3 lions pub in redmond
schreiner, i always thought--has a high tolerance for alcohol.. when we got there he was nursing on a beer but by the time i left (an hour later) he was feeling it! i bought him a touchdown..erika got him a kamikaze... and who knows what other drinks he got !
and OMG! i couldn't stop eating their curry fries!!! SOOO good !

eeek!!! clowns are just too scary ! but i had to try these on :)

eeeeek!!!!!!! even in broad daylight this scares me !

kanno-san farewell...

james and kanno-san (first boss @ nintendo..suge~!)










irish car bombs...ick!






i've met kanno san a few times in the past (like...a loooong time ago) but only a few days ago did i actually have conversations with him ♫ he is so much fun to talk and drink with and really the nicest guy ! i believe he's moving back to japan, kyoto-area and will be working at nintendo in japan. If i ever get the opportunity to visit japan again, i'd like to go with jamus and visit him, yea?! sounds fun♥
