Business as Usual...

here i am having a "fat friday" already...for those of you who don't know what my "fat fridays" are - they started when i was traveling to texas all the time and i would come back on a friday totally knackered. i would LOVE to stay in, order greasy chinese food and rub my belly. then, when i stopped going to texas (oh the joy) i would still have fat fridays because i was usually out thursday nights, would be completely hung the next day and needed a night in - big time. so last night, i went out with colleagues - 2 brits and 4 asians - and we got ruined. i was drinking cheap red wine and polished it off with beers around 2 am. at the end, i was the last one standing with one of the brits (shocker) and i actually had him check out my rockin' zit. god, i am c-h-a-r-m-i-n-g. i've developed this zit that won't pop and it is driving me crazy (yes leighton, i can hear you telling me to "not pick") but i digress. any-hoo, tonight i was going to meet up with a friend of a friend but there is no way. my stomach hurts and the thought of drinking tonight is putting me off faster than a poop on the bottom of one of my louboutins. so what do i do? i order pizza. (on a side note, what the hell is this option: American Adventure: pepperoni, corn and beef - corn? i mean, i know what they are insinuating - we're corn growin', lovin' meat eaters...) that's right - in manhattan it was greasy chinese and i guess now that i'm in china, it's greasy americano food. typical. although, it was NOT easy. i almost gave up. so i ring pizza hut, which i have not eaten in years, but it is such a hassle. after waiting for what seems like five minutes on hold to place my delivery order, i tell them i am in a hotel and want to know if it will be a problem. i am then placed on hold again. i get though finally and place my order but am told it will come in 1 o'clock...um???? i hope that didn't mean i will get it in an hour because i don't think i can handle that...

all in all, i have to say it has been a good few first days. i mean, don't get me wrong, parts of the city stink and it is humid and people walk slow and you need to ask for everything at least twice but it has been good.
