rachelmanija is here! I managed to drive around Millbrae, despite the complete confusion and not get honked at too much. We ended up having dinner with greenapple2004 at Fook Yuen, aka, the place with the amazing Chinese food. Among much discussion of manga, we consumed Peking duck (very tasty), which was served first in the traditional way, with bits of crispy skin laid out with pillowy buns and green onions and plum sauce, and then with the meat stirfried and turned into a mix served later in individual lettuce leaf cups. We also had squab, despite an initial fear that there would be too much fowl on the table. Rachel was ok with the squab head but attempted to cover the head of the duck, possibly because greenapple2004 made a comment about Princess Tutu and the duck head.
There were also stir-fried gai lan like veggies, along with two (2!) orders of sesame mochi. Just like last year, the waitress stared at us incredulously and attempted to make sure that we actually wanted two orders. "But there are four mochi in an order!" she said. "Are you sure?" We all looked at each other and nodded emphatically.
Also, just like last year, when I went to the bathroom and walked back to a conversation on amnesiac angels and androids, this year, I got up and came back to a conversation on pedophilic porn (ah yes, Loveless...). There was also much wibbling overSaiyuki Reload 5 and the fact that 7 would be coming out only a few months after six.
All in all, it was excellent, and I have watched another episode of Fullmetal Alchemist (I'm rewatching all of it, since I stopped at ep. 26ish last year and don't remember much). We have played with the rats, who are as insane as ever, and! I made Rachel read the first page of Godchild 2, which is the completely on-crack summary of the series that is more cracktastic than the entirety of most manga series.

(remembers similar situations with 2 orders of mango fried shrimp at Gourmet Seafood in Oakland...)
