comments: Uij is one of our new japanese interns. we got 3 right now. and oddly, 2 of them had birthdays today. perhaps there are only 2 or 3 days in japan that are birthdays? that's what I must assume. anyway, lots of us went out for burgers, but I forgot to get food photos. oh well. whatchyoogonnado? click to see richerd with one big eye.

rating: &&&.5/&&&&&
listening to: culture club
comments: today, I tried the special. it was... interesting. but not great. this invention was chicken breast cooked like it was spicy wings, then put into a sandwich.
