Parents were in town this past weekend, took them to a bunch of museums and monuments around the WashDC area. Made even better by the fact that they paid for all the dinners, save one. And for that, we went to Morton’s for their anniversary (and my birthday) and had some really awesome steaks. If you’ve never been to Morton’s, it is quite an experience, and you’d better be prepared to drop at least $50 on a piece of meat. Rather than giving you a normal menu, they give you a “menu presentation”… which means they bring out all their different cuts of meat on a platter and actually show it to you. Kinda reminded me of the Simpsons episode where they got to choose their own cow. I had wanted to take them to Rays the Steaks, which would’ve been just as good and half as expensive, but they’re only open Tues - Sat, and June 5 is a Mon. Oh well, yummy meat all around regardless

My electric shaver also broke down a week or two ago (it won’t charge or run off the power cable anymore), so I’ve started to shave the old fashion way, with a razor. At first, I tried shaving with those cheap $1 for 15 disposable razors… and that hurt so much, it felt like the hairs were being ripped from my face. Now I have a nicer Gillette triple blade razor, and it works quite well. Except I sometimes get breakouts on my face (still!), and so if you see me in the morning, you’ll probably notice a bunch of tiny nicks and cuts around my mouth area. Slicing off a zit is really not that fun. Moral of this story, unless your face is like leather, don’t get those dull $1 razors discount packs. And if you have any shaving tips, let me know

And if you ever visit me in VanBC, you’ll see the perfect lawn my dad keeps. The neighbors’ lawn are not even close :p.
