busan stories (new year)

how i spent my new year's eve...

i spent my new year's eve with an old buddy... an old jip-sha-lam to be exact...
i spent my new year's eve getting turned down with an old friend for a table at hungry hunter in pleasant hill because we weren't white. there's no way it takes 2 hours to find a table for two.
i spent my new year's eve eating with my old buddy and all the other asian who got rejected from other restaurants at todai, the last asian haven. my old buddy beat me; he ate three plates of food, four crepes, bowl of udon, plate of crab legs and i pretty much become delirious at that point and just started laughing.
i spent my new year's eve playing halo with my old buddy; shooting, grenading, jumping, sniping and slicing...
i spent my new year's eve watching my old buddy getting pissed...
at little boys who'd shoot, grenade, jump over, snipe and slice my old buddy in halo.
i spent my new year's eve turning off halo at 11:30pm to watch the countdown and switching from one show to another....
it ranged from watching ja rule and fat joe on mtv to regis harping away about dick clark, but all of it completely crap.
i spent my new year's eve fighting off my old buddy from giving me a new year's kiss.
i spent my new year's eve trying to give my old buddy a new year's kiss.

this may not seem like a very eventful celebration, but after a six-pack of miller light and a couple bacardi razz-matazz, it's heaven!
