bandaids Before Sunset

Last night a few friends decided to gather for a proper Korean bbq dinner. 4 of us headed to "restaurant street" as Ben has so cleverly coined (it's basically an alley with all restaurants on it...dah da dah!!) and landed at a bbq joint we've all frequented before. The food is always delicious and filling so it seemed like the best solution to my gargling stomach. I had eaten my share of blah blah blah galbi (marinated pork and pork ribs basically) and wanted some 물 냉 면 (water noodles). After doctoring them up with the proper fixings I began to fiercely cut my noodles with a scissors anticipating its glory in my belly. After are few jabs and cuts I noticed something that seemed inedible...as I slowly began to pull it up from under my deliciousness ~ otherwise known as noodles ~ I discovered a used bandaid that seemed to have slipped off a persons finger. How gross! I brought it back to the kitchen and watched the entire Korean staff swarm like bees hovering over my dish as if an alien had just popped its head up to say hello. The waitress' explanation was "ajooma" (older married woman) while she demonstrated a bandaid falling off a finger into a bowl...DUH! I get what happened...I understand that whoever made it had a bandaid on their finger and it obviously fell off into my dinner...if this were a game of charades we'd have won 20 minutes ago!!! This just made me really crabby and annoyed. To make it better, the waitress brought us a bottle of free cider (Sprite)...I don't even drink pop...
Now, I've worked at a few restaurants at home and if someone found a used bandaid in their meal they would for sure get their meal for free if not the entire bill taken care of...plus dessert!! Not here.

Anyway...

I ended up leaving the restaurant kind of crabby (and kind of sulking a little bit) and decided to rent a movie. I took home Before Sunset. I know there are two movies with Ethan Hawke (After Sunrise & Before Sunset) but I couldn't remember which came first...I rented part 2. Needless to say, I really really really enjoyed the film and it put me in such a better mood. I have yet to see After Sunrise, it might give last night's movie a little more clarity...

bandaids before sunset...i tell you what.
