Half of this post is about food.

I have probably forgotten all the stuff I have done this week already, although I feel like most of it involved being annoyed about work.

• I am very bad at ordering sushi.  I know perfectly well which sushi I like - simple rolls with eel, avocado, and/or salmon, and preferably brown rice.  But every time I am actually ordering, I get complex, weird rolls that end up not being nearly as good, and then I make a mess trying to eat it.
• I saw Anything Goes.  It has gotten rave reviews, at least from my friends, and I enjoyed it quite a bit.  The lead, Sutton Foster, has an amazing voice, and I liked the dancing quite a bit, especially the tap.  But I did not like the minister/gangster and his affected little quasi-humor.  However, I did like how the show turned the usual annoying aspect of romantic comedies with male leads (the intelligent female friend who is totally ignored, or else at the last minute he falls in love with her) a bit on its head, by giving the female lead a wealthy, interesting husband and saddling the male lead with the bland, pretty debutante he was chasing after in the first place.
• Found a really good Mexican restaurant in Hell's Kitchen, on 9th Ave. at 49th, probably called Tacocina.  It has good quality ingredients, whole wheat tortillas, and lots of seafood.  I think it might get very loud when busy - like most Manhattan restaurants, everything is bare, hard surfaces - but at 5 p.m. on a Saturday it was fairly subdued.
• I bought two pairs of shoes today, although this sounds much girlier than I think it is: they were new cycling shoes (my current ones are too narrow in the toebox; I have to wear them with my thinnest socks and even then sometimes, especially in summer, my toes start to get numb by the end of a 45-minute spin class... since I'm going to be wearing cycling shoes much of the day while I'm biking in Ireland, I wanted something more comfortable) and transitional running shoes (I want to try forefoot running since, although my knees are pretty sound, joints don't ever get any younger, but I don't want to jump into it since I'm running fairly long distances these days what with marathon training, so the guy at jackrabbit sold me some neutral shoes that are lighter than what I usually wear but still definitely traditional running shoes... this may have been a waste of money, but at least if I just can't get into forefoot running I can still wear them for lifting or whatever, as opposed to some of the minimalist runners which wouldn't be good for anything else)
• I do not like Indian food.  That said, I was surprisingly not-displeased with my dinner at Mughlai tonight.  I learned that bread can be spicy, and the first couple bites of my entree made me cough, but then I acclimated and it was actually fairly good.  Although I have no idea what was in it - it was supposed to be "cheese and vegetable dumplings in a light vegetable sauce" but seemed more like "vegetable and nut dumplings in a cheese sauce", I finished the entire (granted, far from huge) portion and my only complaint right now is that I am hungry again (probably because it was too hot today to eat lunch).
