I took my mom to the Galleria for the second time this afternoon. We went straight to Neiman Marcus, purchased a black sapphire bracelet and a diamond bracelet by John Hardy, and then went to eat at Mayuri Indian Restaurant on Westheimer.

Now I’ve previously blogged about how baffled I am by vegetarians. I don’t care if it’s for religious reasons, for ethical reasons, or a combination of both… there’s no good reason to be a strict vegetarian. Unfortunately, my mom is such a person. So I had a chance to finally eat Indian chicken for the first time in months… and did I! Ten pieces of tandoori chicken, two full plates of chicken tikka masala, lots of rice and saag paneer, naan, and then some mango ice cream for good measure. Heh, all the time I’ve been spending in the gym must have really boosted my metabolism, because I was starving a few hours later.

As I was devouring all that protein, I briefly glanced around at my fellow restaurant-goers. Practically every single table had men donning their dress shirts and pressed Dockers pants attempting to have sophisticated conversations on God knows what. What I found amusing was the striking similarity between… everyone. Seriously, imagine a 5’8″ stature with a ridiculously small waist wearing khaki pants, a black belt, a button down shirt, and a tie. Have a mental picture? Well, that was what 95% of the restaurant, including the employees, looked like. Heh, so as they gazed at me (as Indian people tend to do), I contented myself with the possibility of snapping their six inch waists in half.

Now I’m watching the Rockets take on the visiting Cavaliers. It’s only the third quarter, but I really do hope the Rockets can hold onto their lead. Not only could this be their sixth straight victory, but if there was ever a doubt in our ability to succeed without Tracy McGrady, this game will quickly dissolve it.
