Just back in from an *Exhausting* but truly blessed weekend in LA.
So I was down in LA for Brother Wafik’s ordination. Officially now he’s *Father* Wafik, but in my heart, he’s still Brother Unleaded Gas.
Highlights from the weekend?
* Eating Mool Naeng Myun (Korean cold soup noodle dish with vinegar & mustards mixed in the ice cubes of the huge soup dish)
* Meeting the ever cool Bleakie Girl for Boba (THANKS AGAIN!!)
* Trying Austrian Pancakes at Ahnold Shwartzenmusclehead’s Austrian themed restaurant while watching the Lakers NBA championship game
* Midnight Hottubbing with super diva gal pal (nothing even *remotely* bi involved here, yo)
* Reading Maison Ikoku Manga (1-5)
* An ordination mass of 5 Jesuits that included the blessings of some 40 or so priests… It was a fricking wall of priests, I tell you.
* Watching my friend fall asleep in public 3 times. (In mass, the reception, and in the apt in front of 3 other folks while sitting in a chair)
* Watching Wafik’s female relatives perform artistic, culturally accurate Egyptian belly dances which at some points looked a little disturbingly as if the priest was getting a lap dance from his hottie 17 year old niece…
* Seeing more Carmelite nuns than the entire cast of the Sound of Music
* The opening mass song was sung in disco Arabic. I think it’s a cover of a song by Super Greg. Another was a Christian hymn, sung in Arabic to hava nagila. No. I’m not kidding.
* Correctly enunciating Malchizedek (Mel kee za deck) when reading the first reading of the mass. (I thought for sure I’d say Malkovich accidentally. I can’t puppeteer worth a damn anyways.)
* Getting to wear my hanbok. (Traditional Korean dress which is so puffy within the skirt that you could hide the arsenal for a small south American guerilla troop in it’s folds. Several glocks & the necessary clips. VIVA la revolucion!”)
* Going bra shopping at the Korea Town Plaza. (The lady sized me up & fitted me perfectly just by *looking* at me)
* Observing a hard core cosmetic consultation by a 40 something Caterpillar Woman with green eyeshadow and highly feathered & blondified hair. .
(Caterpillar woman is a new term that will make it into the *Dictionary* soon enough. It means a woman who wears clothes much too tight for them and possibly too
*young* for them. They are caterpillar woman because their bodies become obviously segmented into at least 5 sections. Head section, boob section. Belly roll 1 section. Belly roll 2 section and legs. There are occasionally additional visible belly rolls along the sides & some other rolls on the thighs too. To say the least, this is not considered too attractive).Did I mention this caterpillar woman in particular was Korean?
* Getting a fresh new blessing from a fresh new priest.
* Doing a few rosaries while driving down to LA & back.
*Crazy Amazing Egyptian food
*Taking faux newlywed photos (in the hanbok) with another Jesuit brother (Tres Thornbirds, no?)
Low Points
* Getting lost. A lot.
* Especially when being totally annoyed by the dude in the car next to me trying to
pick me up/turn me on/ totally offend me by beeping his horn, trying to drive next to me, and making a series of
lascivious facial & manual gestures. Thus causing me to miss my exit by over 5 miles.
* Not having the foresight to schedule something & meet Aaron, Winnie, or stalk Cyn.
* Learning that the *FREAK* has emailed me again. With the following requests.
