Ayunno...[shrugs shoulders]

I have noticed that without fail I will always choose an Asian restaurant over any other, regardless of what mood I'm in. White food is so damned boring. OK, OK, sure...Greek cuisine can be very satisfying...and yup, Italian is often very comforting...oooo, let's not forget about British faire...wait, yes let's disregard that as actual nourishment. I'll take zippy chili coconut fish with fluorescently coloured sauce and a bunch of vegetables I've never seen before ANY TIME. I want mystery. I want adventure. My tongue is dying to escape the company of these boring white molars and jump out into the real world. It has a suitcase packed, sitting in a little closet near my uvula, just waiting for cheap tickets to Kampu-fuckin-chea.
