    -Your Highness-
    Even though Rotten Tomatoes gave it a low rating (24%), I still found it funny. Lots of dick jokes, but plenty of funny one-liners. Profanity sprinkled into old-timey english is hilarious. Oh, and this movie renewed my crush on Natalie Portman. She kicked all sorts of ass while looking mighty fine. If she got awards for Black Swan, she should get some for this too

    -Azukar Sushi-
    Tried out a new all-you-can-eat sushi place in Sac with the guys on Saturday. It’s not your typical sushi buffet, though. Here, you order rolls & sides off a menu and they make it for you fresh. Nothing is pre-made or just sitting on a buffet line. You just stay at your table and they bring everything to you. It was a little pricey, $22 for dinner, but the dinner selection of rolls & sides was pretty big. And everything was really good. The only thing that could be a problem is that there was only 1 guy taking all the orders. There were only maybe 2 or 3 other parties when we were there, so it wasn’t an issue for us. Well, at least not until the end of our dinner, when the place started to fill up. There were other workers there that totally could’ve been taking orders, but I guess the main guy is a control freak or something. His memory was impressive, though. On the menu, every item had a name with an associated number, with maybe 70 or 80 items total. If you were to say the number, he’d say the name back, and vice versa.

    Before going, I read reviews on Yelp, and it was either hit or miss, love it or hate it. In our case, we loved it. If we had come an hour later, we probably would’ve hated it. But the place is still very good, and I’d definitely go there again, but not if the place is hella packed.

    Can’t really compare it to Mizu’s, though, since Mizu’s is a traditional all-you-can-eat buffet with a long line of pre-made food. Azukar is an all-you-can-eat sushi bar that makes everything fresh. A better comparison would probably be Fuji’s in Davis. They’re also an all-you-can-eat sushi bar, but they do pre-make rolls & sides on their sushi boats, but they do make things on request. But I like Azukar way better.

    -Warriors / Kings game-
    This, in all likely hood, was the Warriors last game against the Sacramento Kings, since the Kings will most likely move to Anaheim next season and become the Anaheim Royals. If that’s the case, in my 4+ years of watching Warriors / Kings games, I will have never once seen (live, in person) the Warriors beat the Kings. Whenever I watch, the Kings win. Every. Time. It was great when I was a Kings fan first, but now I’m a Warriors fan first. I still support the Kings, but not when they play the Warriors (like how I’m a Giants fan, but not when they play the A’s).

    The Warriors had won the last 3 games I watched (last loss I witnessed was in Nov when I also lost my sony digicam). I was hoping this streak would end with this game, but sadly this was not the case. We lost, 103-104. So close.....

    I ended this season 4-2, which is probably the best season in the 4 years I’ve been watching with Jaymi. Hopefully next season will be even better and maybe even with the Warriors in the playoffs.
