Ronald Reagan Library

so, went to the Ronald Reagan Library yesterday with some coworkers. it's up in Simi Valley so it was kinda far but the area was really nice. 今まで行ったことが無かったため、行ってみました。

すっごいいいところでした。they do function as a library because they do allow you to look at documents they have available during Reagan's presidency. but mainly, it's a museum. レーガンの生涯が詰まった展示品の数々を見るのが結構面白かった。俳優として活躍していただけあって、かっこいい。and it's not just that, you can really tell how much he put into helping our nation through his presidency. it was just really an amazing tribute. they have a number of his quotes all throughout the museum, but the best one is the one on his grave.

if you ever get the chance, you should go. definite recommend! you get to see air force one stuff too so it's really interesting. would definitely go back on my own time!

Access

so, i have to use microsoft access at work. access.... WHO THE EFF USES ACCESS!?!?!?!?!?!? well, i'm sure people do use it, but man, it's so confusing. 今までの人生で使ったことがないため、苦戦しております。*sigh*

now, it's fine if i'm just editing a file that already exists. but now i have to actually create one from scratch.... あ～もう! 大変。i shall now go work on that shit.

秋分の日サイコー！

had a day off today because it was the autumnal equinox day in japan. isn't it wonderful to be able to get a japanese holiday off in the US? no one else is off so yea, pretty great! :)

今日はオフィスの同僚ちゃん’ズと食べ回り。for lunch, we went to the angry chef in the westin bonaventure. なんか、基本パスタ屋さんみたいだけど、タコスとかもおいてたりする。so, we all decided to split a shrimp scampi pasta, angry chef pasta, and the bulgogi taco set. the taco was actually really good! would definitely want to get it again. the scampi was pretty good too. すごいあっさりしてて、食べやすかった。the angry chef pasta was just so-so. it was creamy but spicy. kinda too heavy for my taste.

after, we decided to get some sweets. went to melt gelato and crepe cafe in el segundo. MELTのジェラートは前にも食べたことあったけど、前はモールで食べたから、お店を訪れるのは初めて。結構空港に近い。i got the swiss chocolate gelato. OMG so good! すごく濃厚。食べ応えあったね。でも、シャツにこぼしてアウチ。-__- i'm so ドンくさい。one of the girls got crepe too so got to try some of that too. すっごいモチモチしてておいしかった。甘すぎず、いい感じ。

the bf joined us for dinner and we went to kagura in torrance. トンカツが有名なお店。彼は揚げ物系大好きなので、良いかと。man, it's a bit pricey but really good. i got salmon, not katsu, but i got to take a bite out of the bf's and man, it was deeeelish! my salmon was pretty good too. but kinda regret not getting the katsu... lol.

この日はほとんど新米ドライバーの方に運転してもらいました。ちょっと怖かったけど、まぁ、大丈夫でしたね。楽しかったし、結果オーライですね。

おデート

this weekend was pretty fun! my mom had work most of the time so it was nice and relaxing. lol.

on saturday, went to the hokkaido fair in torrance with a co-worker. いや～、珍味とか見ると興奮するね。思わずしおから買っちゃったよ。deeelish! i also got the mochi cream again. this time around, it was the apple pie flavor. リンゴとクリームに加えてさくさくしたパイ生地っぽいものも入ってて超おいしい!また食べたいね。

sunday was bf day! 久しぶりのゆっくりしたおデート。we ended up eating lunch in torrance and spent the rest of the day just kinda kickin' it. watched some videos, washed the car, played a bit of badminton, and got some ice cream. 何かを特にやった訳ではなく、のんびりすごしましたね。それはそれで楽しかった。only thing is i forgot to take pictures. darn. and i got a new camera for my birthday too. ugh. ま、また今度いっぱい撮りたいね。
