We had dinner at Top Gun Chinese Restaurant tonight (Yes, another egregious example of Asian-American-Chinese restaurant naming that refreshingly bucked the usual trend of some combination of Happy Bamboo, Panda Dragon and Imperial Buddha Pagoda.)
As customary in America, we were given our fortunes which I excitedly opened. And since I’m an indecisive pessimistic idealist, I rely on Fortune Cookies to tell me what to do.
However, I was sorely disappointed in this fortune.
You may attend a party where strange customs prevail.
Firstly, I was not invited to any party.
Secondly, the statement expressed possibility, not definitiveness.
Thirdly, “strange customs”? With no details? That’s just unfair!
Give me the likes of “Good news is on the way” or “You will win the lottery” any day. At least I know what to do next: Keep an eye out for an email from James Nachtwey saying he’s coming to visit, or go buy a lottery ticket.
With tonight’s fortune, I am not sure what to do.
If anyone’s having a party, I’m available till my fortune comes true.
