Ok so I know (e:paul) was interested and (e:drew) said he could be dragged out if it was planned. So I'm thinking of going out for sushi on Monday if anyone else is interested. I would like to try Wasabi because I have heard its really good. Does anyone have an opinion of that place? But I would definitely return to Kibirashi again. O is definitely out, I think their food sucks. Let me know, because I am definitely going but I figured it would be fun with more people than just myself.

Quote of the night"That Tenderloin was so juicy I could have sworn it was Filet Mignon!" He tipped so well that I didn't have the heart to tell him.

Perhaps you should make changes to the physical menu but keep the food the same.
Instead of tenderloin just put sirloin
instead of duck breast put chicken breast
Instead of beef Wellington put Beef Osmond.
you will rake in the tips!

Aww, poor guy... I don't think most people know the difference (or lack thereof). I didn't know til we looked it up at christmas dinner a few years ago. You could have said "well as a matter of fact, most people don't know it, but..."
sorry, all my "take every opportunity you can to teach the med students, even little things!" lectures must be sinking in...
[and fyi- it's Mignon. It means 'cute' in french.]

Home for ChristmasWell not really my hometown, or my relatives for that matter. I just bought my tickets to go to Florida to see my family for Christmas. I was so excited to find nonstop tickets at decent travel times for $213. I am the self-proclaimed king of finding good airfare. But this is way cheaper than the usual jacked up rates around holidays. Let me tell you how excited I am to be flying my 10th airline and my 6th Boeing jet. Most people get on the plane and ignore it, but I love flying on different aircraft. After this I only have three Boeing jets left before I have flown all of their commercial production models. I have never flown Airtran before so I'm hoping it's a good airline. Has anyone ever flown them? Also on the subject when did Jetblue become so freaking expensive? They used to be the first place I looked because they were so cheap. Now they same flight dates would cost me over $500! I have no loyalty to airlines whatsoever, those frequent flyer programs are so lame anyway. Everything is restricted and sometimes you have to fly standby just to redeem your miles. I really hope Virgin US comes to Buffalo so we can have some nice price wars between them Southwest and Jetblue.

airtran is ok. nothing remarkable, nothing terrible.
on my way to houston this summer i got to fly on a brand new jet and i was stoked. it was the first commercial flight. it smelled like a new car and i actually felt guilty that i left some pretzel crumbs in my seat.
jet blue does some really weird flight plans. i was looking at some for later in the year when i have to travel to the US and i think they wanted to send me from boston to jfk to chicago to buffalo instead of boston to buffalo. it was going to take 12 hours. eh.
just keep doing your own homework. it's takes more time but you eventually find that 'deal'.

Jetblue has been the cheapest airline for me the past few flights I have had to take. But the options were really weird. Take my last flight for example.
I could
1)take the cheap flight direct to JFK for $100
or
2) Fly to Tampa direct and back to JFK for $1,080
wha?

Airtran is so-so. What I don't like is that you usually have to fly through the Atlanta hub which is usually out of my way. But sounds like you're good with a direct flight. I also don't like that Airtran is simply the new name for an airline that had some serious accidents. The airline restructured themselves, renamed themselves Airtran and got a clean slate on the number of accidents they had because they were a "new" airline. Hopefully, they've dealt with the issues.

Most of my airline and airplane model research has to do with researching safety records. I know the track record for various airlines and models of airplanes. I'm so terrified of being in a plane crash. I start dreading the flights to whatever the destination is weeks before the flight. Once I get to my destination, I usually feel okay on the flight back home. Although there have been times where I've seriously had to repress the urge to yell out "the plane is going down and we're all going to die" in mid-flight - however irrational it might be at the moment. I'd probably get kicked off the flight if it ever slipped past my lips! I still force myself to fly though because I like to travel.
On a side note, I'm so glad there's an airport in my hometown in central IL. It's very convenient for me and my family. But someone totally didn't believe me that there's an airport in my hometown. Like I'm going to make that up to impress people?

Two pump chumpAlthough I will not divulge the pathetic number of women I have slept with, I will divulge how pathetic the first time was. I was 19 years old and needed to beat the 20 mark. I think I did by maybe a couple of months. The moment was really ruined by my lack of preparedness. Stopping to walk to the quickie mart 1/2 a mile in freezing cold rain tends to do that. Anyway it was on my friends apartment floor in potsdam, and I believe it may have lasted all of 2 minutes, give or take a minute. What can I say? I was excited. I can imagine she was largely disappointed.

Nice! My first time was in my GF's bedroom, with her parents downstairs doing whatever it is that they do. My friend came to pick me up (I was 15 at the time), which was a total surprise - I still had the condom on when I left the house!

I misread "pathetic number of women" as "number of pathetic women".
I also misread:
"How pathetic the first time was. I was 19 years old and needed to beat the 20 mark. I think I did by maybe a couple of months."
as
"How pathetic it was being 19 years old after I beat the mark [of sleeping with 20 women], which I did in a couple of months."
I think my version of your story is funnier.

GrossSo yesterday right before Bio Lecture I really had to blow my nose. So I went into the bathroom next to the lecture hall, even though there was a disturbing odor permeating into the lobby. As I was washing my hands, out from the stall stumbled my bio professor looking disheveled with his shirt untucked, I thought wow he is either sick or hungover. Anyway he made a beeline straight for the door bypassing the handwashing process. I couldn't help but snicker during lecture everytime his hand came anywhere near his face. Remind me to never shake that dudes hand.

That is gross. That is exactly why I hate touching door handles.
That is gross. That is exactly why I hate touching door handles.
I am down with Monday. I will try and bring some people form work. Can we go to kiribaschi instead though because we only have an hour for lunch and I think going out to williamsville would take too long? I would gladly go with you to Wasabi some evening though.
hopkins and klein.
Im not sure exactly, I think Williamsville somewhere.
where is wasabi? i've never heard of it.
Wasabi is good. The chef is from fuji grill, which I also think is decent. One of my japanese attendings says it's the best sushi in town, for what it's worth...
